Freelance Writing Skills



New Freelance Writing Skills


Setting up project and accounting software

One of the main things you need as a freelancer is proper accounting, bookkeeping business management, to ensure you are processing invoices correctly, documenting your income, expenses, and tracking your workload, and making projections.

Invoicing Software

Due and Wave are two new accounting platforms I have found to be useful. PayPal is really great to, and Canva has really unique invoice designs, you can send directly to clients via email. An electronic invoicing and accounting platform is a viable solution for time savings, automation, and organization.

Project Management Software
Managing your project work, and the amount of projects you are working on, is a super amazing task and away for you to get a full picture of the amount of projects you have, billable hours, and income projections for the month, and work planning for the rest of the year.

Time Management Tools

The Promodor method of time tracking is new to me, but I recently discovered, the method, via an article and found the 25 minute work increments to be useful, as well as having a time tracker ;helps you to stay on track, meet personal time management goals and gives you the ability to complete your work and take breaks in an effective amount of time.

Book Publishing

Since I decided to become a freelance writer in January, I have learned so much, because I had taken the winter, and spring to learn, and study and research, the best methods of study, and new career choice i was making, I had also, studied various methods of study for book authoring and writing, in the Fall so I was ready to take on the task of becoming a book author, and by doing so, i made my goal of becoming a writer even more real.

Kindle Book Publishing

Kindle accepts books published by authors and hosts them on their reader platform

Amazon Book Publishing'

Amazon allows authors to publish paperback copies, of their books and list them for sell on the Amazon publishing platform. Amazon Book publishing is a great platform and is notarized as a note worthy platform for authors, and give new authors a chance to publish their own books.

Blogging

I reached my one year blogging anniversary on my personal blog, and created Freelance Writing pros earlier this year, blogging, has become easier, blog planning has not been any easier, than just writing and posting, Planning is better, I am able to plan around the topics i am currently working on, and also have opportunities to plan larger articles, and maybe even have guest posts featured on my blog. or guest post on other blogs.


Publishing

Getting my works published this month left my inbox empty and unanswered queries sounding like silent space. I am happy to have the opportunity to have more articles published in publications, and also to expand my career profile as a writer, I was intimidated at the aspect of not being ready for the publishing outlets, I would dream to write for, but I know and understand like with a job, their is entry level, and promotions, promotion comes after you have built your expertise as a writer.
