Not everyone can be a freelance writer. You must have the following qualities to support yourself.
1, you must have the most basic literary skills or the minimum ability to express words. If the language expression ability is poor, no matter how good the idea is, it can't be written. If you barely express your meaning clearly in poor language, but lack expression skills, it is equivalent to creating text garbage.
You should have enough writing time. If you write full-time, you should be prepared to devote yourself to your work. Although there is the word "freedom" in your career, you must strive for your own goals, that is to say, there is only relative "freedom". If you are writing part-time, you should consider whether the first job allows you to take this second job.
3. Be good at observing and thinking. No matter what kind of article you are engaged in, the material comes from life. An excellent freelance writer will always find something that can form words and sell well from his life.
4. Be good at collecting and sorting out information. In view of the characteristics of the types of manuscripts to be written, we should attach importance to and fully collect this information. Take notes or back them up on your computer if necessary. In this way, when writing, you won't worry about not finding the right material.
5. Have the spirit of study. In addition to constantly learning the basic skills of writing, we should also learn from newspapers, magazines and readers. Just like other business activities, only by in-depth study of customers can we promote products faster and more.
6. Be patient and have the confidence to stick to it. Generally speaking, at the beginning of freelance writing, I always write more and write less, and sometimes even the manuscripts are like mud cows in the sea, but this is almost the only way for every successful freelance writer. Only by biting your teeth and sticking to it can you gradually gain a foothold in this industry.
7. Have a certain calligraphy foundation or be able to write on the computer. If you don't even want to read the written words, you'd better not fantasize about making the editor frown and revise the manuscript to help publish.
8. Have a certain legal awareness. On the one hand, you can protect your intellectual property rights from infringement according to law, on the other hand, you should be familiar with the relevant regulations on writing and submitting, and don't get yourself into a lawsuit because you write a manuscript to make money. Of course, you can also ask some unruly newspapers and periodicals for their due remuneration according to law.
With the above points, you can now try to engage in freelance writing. When you can meet most of the above conditions. There is nothing wrong with raising a family. After all, there are 360 lines, and each line is the best.
