If you have the knack for writing and if you enjoy working from home, I suggest that you sink your teeth into freelance article writing. You will write articles for individuals and companies that are running an online business. Depending on the amount of time that you put in, you can easily make thousands of dollars from this endeavor. Here’s how you can get started:

1. First, I would recommend that you attend relevant seminars in preparation for this new endeavor. I’m glad to tell you that there are now several successful freelance writers who are offering webinars and training programs to help people like you who would like to start a career in freelance article writing. I can guarantee you that you’ll benefit from their expertise and experience. They can surely offer you with tips and techniques on how to get ahead of the pack and how not to commit costly mistakes.
2. Write articles that you can send as samples to your potential buyers. This is very important especially to people like you who are just starting out in this endeavor. Your prospects would surely want to get an idea about your skill level. What I suggest is that you write several articles and post them on your blog and to article directories. You can then send the links to those people who are interested in doing business with you.
3. Get small projects first. You would want to test the waters first. So, instead of committing yourself to completing large projects (50 or more articles), I suggest that you start signing up for small project (5 10 articles) first. This way, you will not feel overwhelmed too soon. You can start increasing your load once you get the hang of it.
4. Know how to promote your article writing service online. One thing that you need to understand is that your prospects will not call or email you unless you initiate the communication. These people cannot do that if they’re not even aware that you exist in the online arena. So, promote product awareness and attract business to your doorstep. The best tools to use are the following; blogging, ezine publishing, article marketing, forum posting, video marketing, and social media marketing. Each time you sell yourself and your services, make sure that you give your prospects ample reasons to trust you. Always put your best foot forward and tell these people the things that differentiate your service from your competitors’.
5. Join freelancing sites. You’ll quickly find article writing projects to work on by joining popular freelancing sites. In here, you’ll be allowed to bid on projects that you find interesting. The challenge here is outshining other bids to convince your prospects to choose you. Since you’re just starting out, it will help if you charge a bit lower, if you promise quicker turnaround time, and if you offer further assistance like revising the articles (if needed) until your customers are completely satisfied.
