freelance advice

Hello friend, you can put those extra articles on expertscolumn. It is way better than triond. I am not in helium, so i don't know about that. Sorry. Other than that, the articles that you are posting on expertscolumn can also be posted on triond with the link on it to the original article just to ensure that you are the original creator of the article. Hope it helps.

hi friend, have not seen each other for quite sometime, well I don't really write articles for a living although I could write and had done research and articles for a fee from a distant not so distant past,probably you already know that I am a full time businessman. As you mentioned you sometimes miss out on things like "intent" which is for me one of the most important basic aspect for success in what you are doing, it's part of client relationship and good you have identified the weak spot so it's best that you improve on it. It was easier back then because we talk to people personally, next is thru telephone where we can as they say "read between lines", we have to listen, cater and attend to clients needs in order to make a successful sales kill. With the internet now it's a little bit more difficult cause it's less personal although I would think the priciples would still be the same. Now my advice lol, I think we should learn and be good business people as much as we strive to be good writers, just an advice and good luck on your career friend

Personally I have always wondered what is the Best, and many times if they are published somewhere else a lot of places may not take them in the future, and just because they were not suitable for that particular theme, then they could be good for something else. I would consider finding another way to keep them somewhere and submit them to other better paying sites and venues instead. Just my thoughts.

Hello Mac, Great that you have a client database - I think that's fantastic! Very enterprising! It's great to 'meet' a fellow writer too. I mostly do fiction, I would like to try articles again though - but it's a difficult one to get into isn't it? I totally understand about the 'unclear instructions' though. As you said they often say, 'it isn't quite right' (sigh). The writing has to be tight, tight, tight. I have joined Triond, but find their system a bit complicated - but maybe that's just me. I've never tried Helium - not heard of it - but will have a shufty asap. Placing extra articles with either of these sites might be worth a try as you've already written them haven't you? You haven't got anything to lose by doing so really have you? I personally wouldn't try any sites that offer to supply the work for a fee - would you? Do you work via the net? I would not want to 'rain on your parade' in any way, but would be interested in knowing how I could go about getting into (paid) article writing for the net. Sorry - not much help am I? Take care, M.C.

I guess you need a slight improvement in your article-writing skills. You should really attempt to do the tasks given by multimastery which are more based on testing your writing proficiency , gonna help a lot :D

Squidoo is another option that you might want to look into.

Hello, I would put them on Helium. Helium is a great site. I am on Helium too.
