HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT WRITING OPPORTUNITY

                 
Are you a writer or interested in choosing writing as your career path? Have you been writing for a while but it seems as if your writing is not making a headway? Today’s blog post will give you an impetus or bold ideas on how to get your writing career off the ground once and for all. This is why I'm sharing this information on steps you can take to get the job done.
For you to succeed as a writer, I will advise you to drop any preconceived notions about your writing ability. Going forward, practice your craft daily and you can become a well-paid writer regardless of your writing background.
 
Today, I want you to pick a writing direction you can stick with for at least three months. Either you choose a specific niche in the world of copywriting, like gardening, travelling or international aviation. Or, pick a writing specialty. Decide whether you're most interested in case studies, auto responders, web copy, email newsletters, direct mail, blogging, white papers, etc.
 
I implore you to do this whether you're new to the world of paid writing, or you're looking to change your current writing focus, or you want to grow your business by adding a new revenue stream.
 
You might be thinking to yourself … "Not possible, Kufre. I've been stuck on this question for a solid six months now — how am I supposed to make the decision today?"
 
Fair question. But I still want you to pick something. In fact, I dare you to pick something. Pick anything. Just take that first step.
 
Once you do — guess what? There's NO WAY you'll pick the wrong thing. And, I say that with complete confidence for two reasons:
1.      It doesn't really matter where you start, as long as you start. Any project you attempt will give you experience. You'll likely gain some kind of sample, plus a dose of confidence.
 
2.      Many clients don't care where your experience lies. Some clients might hit you up for projects you would never even consider, but they have faith in you, because they view you as a professional based on your client list and samples.
 
Granted, some clients do care about the specifics surrounding your writing skills, and you won't get the highest fees in any specialty till you've gained experience in related projects.
 
But, if you're just getting started or just now trying to make the leap to a new writing specialty, or perhaps you're ready to add a new revenue stream to your business … anything goes. And everything counts.
 
To help you pick, try this low-pressure approach. Make a list of EVERYTHING you want to do and then prioritize. Prioritizing is like mental freedom for writers. It releases you from trying to wear 10 different hats at once, but it means you've still got those hats in your back pocket and you can put them on when the time is right.
 
Another way to choose your new writing focus is to check out job listings for writers, like those found at DirectResponseJobs.com, WealthyWebWriter.com, Freelancer.com, and BlogExpose.com .Take a gander, apply for the ones that interest you, and see who bites.
 
What  do you have in mind to pick? (I've always had a crush on white papers and case studies … so, if I had to pick a new direction right now, that's what I'd go with.) You JUST can’t tell – what you pick can launch you into limelight in writing specialty.
 
To your writing success!
