Use your blog as a resume

Many people, like myself, want to start writing but have no idea on how to start.

If you are a bit internet wise you you will get to the point when you hear about paid blogging or online freelance writing.

What do I mean with internet wise? Well basically you can surf around on the internet for years without hearing about this. Unless you start looking for it.

I have always loved to write. I have an unpublished poem book that I would love to get published. It's even in the right format, what is missing is sending it to a publisher. This little poem book was my lifesaver once, I wrote down all my feelings when I had a difficult time in my life. And I am absolutely sure that it's still good. Even after all those years.

When I started blogging in English I realized that you can be an online freelance writer. You don't need to have an office or contacts in the ¨real world¨ you can do everything over the internet. Isn't that great?

I have landed two writing gigs. My Daily Power Walk over at Creative Weblogging and just recently another one as a paid columnist at HubPages. And how did I do that?

I gave them the address to my blogs.

I had only been blogging in English for about 1,5 month when I managed to get the gig for Daily Power Walk. So as you can see I didn't send a big resume or anything like that.

So what are you waiting for? Start blogging if you haven't already started!

I love to write

Oh yes I do. And that's why I started to write in the first place. That's why blogging is so good for me. I get to express my feelings and thoughts.

I know those who write stories on their blogs. I couldn't do that. I need time to create and get into the feeling. How many times haven't I started to write a novel. One of these teen novels. I have started over 100's on paper and over 1000's in my mind. But I have never finished them.

I dream about writing a book. And surely I'm not alone of wanting to do that.

I'm glad I found blogging to be my way to freelance.

A new blog

I have slowly started to think about creating a new blog. I know that this one has been neglected but I will start wrtiting shortly. But the blog I am thinking of creating is actually a mom blog. I haven't got any place to talk about all that family stuff at the moment. And that will be my next blog.

Of course I will not forget this one!
But this is a project that is maturing slowly I have noticed.
At the moment you can enjoy all my freelance links over at Making A happy Life.

Calling all Freelancers

So you want to become a freelancer? Or maybe you are already typing away all day long?

Deciding to become a freelancer is not an easy thing. Just because
you decide it doesn’t mean you immediately become a writer or whatever
it is you have decided to freelance within.

I have decided to start my freelancing as a writer as that is what I do best.

If you still haven’t figured out in what area you should freelance, and
the choice is big, then take some time to think it through.

So why did I decide that the writing business is the best one for me?
Well if I had paid better attention when I went to school then I
could’ve been working with computers and design now. But at the time it
wasn’t anything I prioritized.

Well here I am going to write down my freelancing experiences and everything that comes with it.

I will look into the best places for freelancers and share my thoughts on them

Welcome

Welcome to my new blog about freelancing and working at home.
This is just the beginning for what hopefully is a long journey!
