Be a Freelance Blogger

Confession time…

I was a pageant girl.

Yes, there was a time when I strutted around the stage in a bikini, narrowly avoiding death by killer heels.

Now, you know and I know that this is a blog about freelance blogging. By now, you can probably see where I’m going with this (if you don’t, I’m about to make a comparison between blogging and beauty pageants). And I can already feel you rolling your eyes.

Bear with me. As wacko as it may sound, there’s a lot bloggers can learn from Miss America. After all, we both want to be crowned. One with a tiara and the other with her reader’s attention.

And our ‘judges’ typically make their decision in the first 7 seconds.

If you want to be the last one standing when the curtains close, take a hint from the pageant world and brush up on these 5 elements of competition. 

Do you write epic content for your clients? The kind of content that readers will bookmark and come back to again and again?

If you do, great! I expect you to weigh in in the comments. If you don’t write epic content, why not?

Building a popular blog for your clients involves two things: promotion and writing brilliant content. Content that blows the audience’s minds, challenges and inspires them with the crazy value you provide. 

To help your client’s blog truly stand out, to help them build a raving audience of fans, you need to write epic shit. It works. For our purposes that’s all we need to know. Usefulness, emotional engagement and uniqueness win.

The Internet is full of junk. Don’t add to it. Write epic shit. In this post I’ll show you how to make your personal experience an asset, integral to the amazingness of the article, rather than something to strip away leaving only deadened objectivity.
