One Year Hiatus

I can't believe I'm updating my blog after nearly one year. Well, while I've been away it has been mostly due to work, work and more work! I got lucky around this time last year. I had already blogged about how I first became a Freelance Writer on the internet. I had a couple of steady clients and for a few months had steady work coming in. One of my clients requested that I post on a forum by the name of

Digital Point Forum

Now, this forum changed my life for the better. While I didn't work out as a forum poster, I continued to post under the same user name and realized there was a section where I could find some freelance writing work and get paid higher than what I was getting at that time. In fact, up to date I have found several genuine clients who have turned out to send me regular work on a daily basis. I must also warn you that there are a few scammers on this website, so you need to be aware of who you are dealing with, check their feedback before committing and commit to 5 articles per batch. This way if you lose payment, it would only be for 5 articles. This is not too bad; after all working online is all about taking a risk. I did end up losing one week's worth of hard work and $80. This was certainly depressing, however, I ended up gaining so much more.

All you need to do is to register on this site, create a profile and begin posting on a variety of topics. Once you've made 25 posts, you can check out the Content section and start applying for jobs or even offering your services. It has worked out well for me, I'm sure you can cash on similar luck as well!!!
