There are many things you should never do as a freelancer. Here is the top 5, but bear in mind that you’ll learn many more as you go along. I had no idea about any of these things when I first started out. Sure, I could’ve just read about some of them online. But I…

How to write a great blog article has been the question of the century for bloggers, content creators, journalists and writers of any types. It’s like asking a scientist about the origins of the Universe. It’s the bread and butter of the online world as we know it. So naturally, there is a lot of…

How to save time, any amount of time, let alone 3 hours of your time with a simple 15-minute trick is the best discovery of 2019. To be honest, it was my grandma who has taught me this trick. Saving time is as important as saving dollars, but people ignore this almost entirely. She’s almost…

You’ve probably read all the “How to set your goals for the year ahead” articles. Not this one. Please, for your own sake, keep on reading. First of all, 2018 is gone. It was a great year for me and my business, a great year for freelancing and content creation, and a great year for…

Writer’s block is bad. Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me. It jibber-jabbers about jibber jabber. It’s loud, relentless and simply obnoxious. Now, this might seem like a bad idea at first, but it’s not always the case. If you’re a writer, it’s better to have a restless mind, rather than a quiet one. Why?…

Money is always a dilemma for freelancers and small business owners. This year, I’ve started my own freelancing website and serious Upwork profile building on the content creator side of things. Money-wise, everything went great. I can trully say I’m satisfied with this year on this aspect.

First of all, I hate clickbait. It’s simply wrong. This is why I wrote a normal, yet inciting title for this post. I will give you clear instructions on how I write my titles, my good ones, but there’s no clickbait in here. If it were for clickbait, my title would look like this:

32 people I’ve never met in real life. 32 humans I have never had a drink or a chat with before. A bunch of complete strangers changed my life in 2018. They were no members of my family. No friends. Not even close friends, let alone best friends. Some of my best friends have left me behind…

Becoming good at freelancing is no easy task. Like most things in life, getting good at something comes after trial and error. I’m not good with girls, for example, but that’s not because of me, per se, but because I’ve never invested time and effort into learning what to do when you’d ask a girl…
