BE A PART OF BIG BENTA MARKETPLACE AND EARN MORE

TRUE STORY:

When it comes to career/work, I am the type of person who is not fond of "change".  If something works for me, then by all means, I will do it over and over again, but always to the best of my ability.  

That is why when I graduated with a degree in Communication Arts in UST in 1992 - I was in a hurry to put into practice what I studied in college. I landed my very first job at a TV network, working as a production assistant. But it did not take long before I found out what I really wanted to do for the rest of my life -- that is WRITING.  And I did everything to pursue that passion - including sleepless nights, bullying from bosses, heartaches of revising scripts over and over again... I accepted all of those, because I knew it will be hurdles that will contribute to my craft as a writer.  I was right all along. Because I am still a writer to this day. I had a very colorful writing career for the said TV network for 20 years, before eventually decided to shift to freelancing.

THE SHIFT:

The transition from a writer who has a regular TV show, to a writer who is on the constant lookout for events and shows to write for -- is not an easy job.  At first, I thrived by connecting with people from the industry, they gave me what we call in TV production parlance >> "raket".  After a year or so -- when I felt the urge to write more and seek greener pastures, I tried applying online. Either thru Facebook (yes, there are companies in need of writers and post through Facebook) or join an online marketplace for bloggers/writers to match with possible brands/client for writing jobs. 

There was no turning back after my first commissioned article for a college review center.  I am now on the constant look out for writing opportunities online.  Because if you would really look closely, and observe diligently, the opportunities are immense. More available works online, which is BEST for a stay-at-home-mom like me!

MAKING A CAREER AS A FREELANCE ONLINE WRITER/BLOGGER

1.  Hone your craft. It is not about counting how many words you can churn out; it is all about doing research on topics assigned to you. And don't forget to keep yourself updated digitally. As a "Gen X'r" I have the tendency to shy away from technology, but I have learned to learn the "ins and outs" of blogging. Hey! I now know what SEO means, and am learning the ropes of HTML :)

2. You must always be clear of your article's objective. Do you want to convince your readers to try out a new product? Do you want people to be immersed in your experiences? Do you want to share vital information?  

3.  Respect deadlines. If you commit to a client a particular time and date to submit an article, stick with it. Clients will surely appreciate such work ethics.

4.   Proofread. Always.  You don't want to publish your articles with typographical or grammatical errors.  Major no-no!

5.   Lastly, look for a website, a marketplace for you to "advertise" your talents and skills. Hey, God gave you that talent, why not put it into good use.  Why not join  BigBenta Service Bookings.
