If you’re  a freelancer or more specifically a freelance writer then you probably know that there are tons of Freelancer websites like eLance, oDesk, Freelancer, etc. and also many other sites that pay you for contributing content.

I’ve already featured 10 websites that pay upfront for writing articles and I got so many mails suggesting that they’re mostly for U.S. writers. While it’s true to some extent the real problem is that they’re all quality websites in search of high quality writers. It basically means that you must be very experienced to be part of their network.

So today I’m going to tell you how to kick-start your freelance writing without relying on any of those Freelance websites or agencies or those upfront pay sites.

by on May 1, 2013 7 Comments

Content is still the king and we can reaffirm it by saying that quality content is the king. As we know, millions of articles are being generated daily by blogs, news websites, forums, web 2.0, etc.

Bad Idea

But it’s also true that ever since the the time Google has dominated the search space, content lost its edge. Why? Because nowadays people write for search engines and not for users. And I see that the top results on SERPs are dominated by spammers. Thanks to Black Hat SEOs.

Dear Google, Should I Focus On Content Creation Or DMCA Takedowns?

by on April 25, 2013 3 Comments

As a blogger, should I focus on content creation or spend enormous time on finding content scrapers and then for filing DMCA Takedown notices? Please advice…
