Many professionals work as freelance writers. A profession that can even be performed online through collaboration with different digital media. As in any profession, the professional learns from his own mistakes not only to reinforce his personal brand but also to improve his effectiveness at work:
1. One of the most recommended points is to avoid being a off-road copywriter, that is to say, a writer who writes almost on any subject. The truth is that recognizing your own limits is the best way to avoid feeling the anxiety of having to present an article on a subject that you are completely unaware of and about which it is not easy to find solid sources of information. Being a copywriter not only implies having a good command of the language but also knowledge about a subject.
2. The competition that any freelance writer faces today when applying for a job offer is very high. However, do not convert the price factor in the best mode of differentiation. There may be clients for whom you have to work for lower prices but it is most recommended that as you gain experience you increase the price of your rates for each post. This will help you prepare an article with more time. It is important that you value your work.
3. The mistake that you should avoid whenever possible is to publish your texts with a pseudonym. The reality is that your signature on each post helps you reinforce your digital footprint. In addition, in this way you can also develop a professional portfolio with publications that you can present on your resume.
4. One of the mistakes you should avoid as a freelance copywriter is having a Personal blog without updating or not having a web page.
5. Neglecting networking because you consider that the task of writing is very lonely.
