I bet you know someone. Someone who rambles on so much you can’t follow their story. Worse, you lose the will to listen. Of course, you are a different communicator. You focus on your listener or reader. You try to be clear and concise. But could it be that a dash of wordiness sneaks into your writing? It’s easily done. Shall I explain? Let me tell you a quick story first … It was 2011.

As freelancers we all need to invest in our futures by learning. This means subscribing to some newsletters, listening to podcasts, buying relevant business books, and sometimes investing more heavily in online courses, products or programs. But before you take the leap and invest a few hundred or thousand dollars in that next program, think carefully about what you are doing, and why.

Look – What’s the fastest way to build your freelance writing business when people are losing their jobs everywhere you look? The tech and media industries are laying off thousands of workers. All over Twitter, I’m seeing posts from writers sharing about the latest layoffs. In the past few weeks, Google’s parent company, Alphabet, laid off 12,000 workers, representing 12% of its workforce.

Photo by Sora Shimazaki Is it querying? No. Networking? No. Marketing? No. Of course such skills are terrific assets, but if I could wave a magic wand, I’d grant all writers the skill of negotiation. By and large, writers don’t even consider trying to negotiate; they just accept the terms/contract/pay that is initially offered. This is partly a quirk of an industry where writers regularly get stepped on and asked to work for free in exchange for exposure.

It’s so funny how many people are concerned about ChatGPT and Bard. Not necessarily from a content creation standpoint but more so how it is going to kill search. When Google announced Bard, their stock fell 7%. It cost them more than 100 billion dollars… that’s a lot of money. Why such a big drop in their stock price ? Google’s ad showed an incorrect description of the telescope used to take the first pictures of a planet outside our solar system, for example.

This is something of a mantra for me: Find the gap! Too many freelancers build up a body of expertise in a particular area and then dive straight in. Maybe they decide to be a writer or copywriter in the alternative health industry. Or the financial industry. Or the software industry. They choose those industries because they are interested in them.

While book sales were down in 2022 compared to 2021, they’d be down much further if it weren’t for TikTok. In fact, the growing sales of adult fiction since 2020 can be credited partly to TikTok’s influence as well as to Colleen Hoover, who is active there.

Every second, more than 40,000 queries hit Google’s search engine. With that kind of search volume, how is a business supposed to get its content to rank high, let alone rank on page one? Since search is one of the most common ways for customers to find relevant answers to their problems or to find products, you must write your content with people’s search intent in mind.
