Yes, it's more of a race against speed and guidelines than a
measure of true literary writing ability.
Sometimes this type of freelance work is mind-numbing.
But while I build my coaching and info products business and
between higher-paying freelance gigs, it's a great way to make some money fast.
I invest in home study programs a lot, maybe way too much (just
ask my brother.) I'm a devoted follower of Kathleen Gage, Christian Mickelsen,
Ali Brown, and Kendall Summerhawk.
I love to travel. Don't get me wrong; press trips are a lot of
fun (I've been on plenty) but they're also freelance work-related. My next mission
is to visit Ocean City, Maryland for a belly dancing extravaganza.
So, I've been wanting to grab some extra cash this week that I
know I can get in the next week once the freelance articles are approved.
Twice this week, I've netted $105 in two hours. That's $210
unexpected dollars for four hours of work or 12 articles.
You can do this too.
Just follow some of my simple secrets to literally creating
quick freelance cash on Demand.
1. Pick articles on topics related to one another. This minimizes your
research time and enables you to easily write 2, 3, even 4 articles an hour. I
picked my recent freelance articles on credit reporting and bankruptcy. I know
these topics pretty well and can quickly grab a couple of references to back up
these articles.
2. Schedule out your writing. For example, if you want to make $105
extra dollars schedule out three one-hour blocks. You may need only two, but
it's always a good idea to give yourself generous timelines.
3. Write 2-3 or more freelance articles at once rather than
stopping and starting. It's so much easier to stay working than to start
working.
