The Best Writing Site On The Internet
I’ve been thinking about this seriously for some time as a possible future venture: developing a writing site for other freelancers to find good work at their level and earn, much like on other sites.
However, the big question is what people are looking for. Over on the Half Hog Forums, I’ve posed the question… what’s your ideal writing site, as a writer or as a client looking for content?
Who knows, one day you might actually get your ideal site!
If you have opinions, I’d LOVE to hear them, either in the comments here or over on the forum.
Getting Started As A Freelance Writer
With the release of the book and all the associated work surrounding it, I’ve been slacking a little on other fronts. I’ve had to be webmaster, forum poster, blog poster, blog designer and do a bunch of other jobs for the last couple of weeks, so I’m sure you’ll understand.
However, today I returned to one of my old haunts – HubPages – and began posting a series that should be of use to all the newbie onliners out there: Getting Started As A Freelance Writer.
The content’s pretty huge and long, which is why I’ve held off posting it here. Part one went up today and covers some of the preparations new freelancers should do even before they start looking for advice on setting up!
Hope you enjoy it. (And don’t forget to do the ‘follow’ thing so you get updated when each step’s published!)
Going The Half Hog: Now Available!
The ideal start to 2012
It’s finally here. After months of work, weeks of waiting and days of reformatting for the Kindle (yikes, that was painful), my book is available to the public!
It’s incredibly cheap, too – $7.50 for the paperback or around $5 for the Kindle edition (depending on taxes and other fun stuff Amazon does with the so-called “list price”). Over 100 pages of essential info for less than the price of a couple of pounds of pork sausages. Awesome!
You can find out more from the Half Hog Home Page, which is soon to become the new hub for everything to do with half-hogging - tips, advice, resources and anything else I can come up with to help you get your part-time freelance career off the ground.
Right now, there’s just a static page but the Half Hog Forum is open and just waiting for you to drop in and ask questions, offer your own tips and special tricks or even just chat for a while.
Keep your eyes on the new site URL: I’m working on some fun freebies to go with the launch!
