Get to Know Me: How I Find Freelance Content Writing as a Great Career Option?

Hello People!

My journey into content writing started way back in 2016. I was curious so, I started exploring ideas on writing compelling stories. One of the amazing things about the web is the fact that you can find anything your heart desires, anytime you want it, day or night. I would surf pages after pages of amazing content and get mesmerized every time.

One fine day, I stumbled upon a certified content writing course offered by VSkills. I took the opportunity to learn from the very basics. Right after the course, I started writing on websites like Quora, YouthKiAwaaz, NewsAurChai, UCNews and, a few pro-bono blogs.

Soon I realised the compelling story also need strategic marketing to make sure it reaches out the targeted/right set of audience. The journey to understand the algorithm of social media marketing, I joined content marketing course at HubSpot Academy. Eventually, continued my journey understanding SEO, Inbound Marketing, Google Analytics and several other digital marketing tools.

Freelancing is still establishing its roots in India. Here is the reason why I find freelance content writing as one of the marvy career options:

• Increasing Demand For Content Writers.
• Freedom To Choose Clients And Projects
• Multi-Faceted Exposure
• Immense Flexibility Of Location
• Offers an Opportunity To Earn More

No doubt, Freelancing offers a lot of freedom and flexibility that a regular desk job can’t. Even if you start as a naive, with right skillsets and tools, you can make freelancing as a lucrative career option.

As rightly said, "You don’t start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it’s good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That’s why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence."
