Writing With Purpose

Although I have been a professional freelance writer for almost four years, I am constantly learning and trying to find new resources and connections to improve my business and the bottom line. With that idea in mind, I started this blog for a two-fold purpose.

With my first love being education, I want to provide other freelance writers with some of the information I could have used when I first started writing. When you work at home, it is very nice to know that you are truly not alone. In fact, there are many people out there that have traveled this road before, and they really want to help.

I also want to let individuals know that I am available to provide services to both buyers and writers. Buyers can hire me to write for them, and freelancers can come to me for help in becoming better writers.

Google Alerts

A good friend and freelancer emailed me recently to let me know that this website has been picked up by Google. Although it is a constant work in progress, it means that I can grow my web presence and actual start helping people reading this blog. But, I did have a question (after all the best teacher is always learning): How did she find out the blog was showing up already?

Then, she told me about Google alerts. She requests alerts on articles that use specific keywords and she receives daily alerts about potentially beneficial information that has been posted. It really is a cool tool! So, I put in ‘Freelance Writing’ for Google Alerts. Ever day, I receive an email with the top posts regarding freelance writing.

Google Alert Resource Site

Today, as I was checking out the alerts, I came across a wonderful resource site for writers of all sorts. Whether you are writing a term paper for school, a dissertation, a book, or you are a freelance copywriter, there is at least one link that might provide you with helpful resources, important connections, opportunities and more.

Admittedly, a site called Fast Cash Freelance put me off at first. It was probably one of those sites giving the freelancer unrealistic hopes for success-at a price. But, since Digg.com has it in their news, I thought maybe it was worth checking out. So, I went straight to the resources page provided in the link. It is more of an information site, rather than a ‘take your money’ venture.

So, I know I am going to further explore these resources and see if any of them will be of benefit to you and me. I also might add more Google alerts to show up in my inbox in the morning. You never know what writing resource might pop up to help freelance writers and copywriters to improve their work at home businesses.
