WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CONTENT MAY CAUSE YOUR HEAD TO EXPLODE
WITH ITS AWESOMENESS!!!
Do you remember that time a young boy told Abe
Lincoln that he should grow a beard? Odds are, this event is something that you
did not spend days studying in your high school history class. Despite this, it
was amazing the implications that Honest Abe’s beard ended up having on his
campaign and road to the White House.
When a freelance writer is in the zone with whatever
process they may use during content
creation, nobody will ever truly know of the event or what is going on in
the writers mind. While the initial event is less than memorable, the
implications on the future / final product are noticeable. Freelance writing is an art, and when content is created it should
be treated as such to produce something that is truly memorable.
When your freelance project is memorable to a client
(at least in a good way), it is likely that they will hire again for your
services. This is very important since being a full time freelancer can have
times in between projects. Nobody wants to have a period in which the money isn’t
coming in.
Part of being
memorable to your clients is making sure you know your content. To
know your content means to research, comprehend, and apply the knowledge
you have gathered to complete your project. A great portion of content creation is crafting high
quality information through research and is the process of where you actually
gather the most important pieces of the content puzzle. Depending on the
project, Wikipedia, .com sites, or blogs may be okay to use for research
purposes.
Keep in mind, it is likely you will have projects
that will require more professional and trusted. In this instance, research
using Google Scholar, .org sites, certified professionals, and even that place
with physical books called the library.
Fashion Your Content As If It Were A Snowflake
In content
creation, you cannot go wrong if you shape each word like a snowflake and
make your content 100% unique. Not only does unique content creation lend to
your web content or other project being memorable for your client, it also aids
in the growth as you go along in your freelancing career.
However, one of the biggest reasons when you create
content that it needs to be 100% unique is due to the legal issue of plagiarism.
In the vast majority of instances that plagiarism does occur on the internet,
the original author will do one of three things:
- 1. Ask You To Remove / or Rewrite The Content
- 2. Use It As A Means To Indirectly Revenue for them
- 3. File Legal Charges Against You
While the first option is the most common and the second has
little impact on the writer that plagiarized material. Nobody wants to have to
deal with the third option of having charges filed when the whole ordeal could
have been avoided. One of the best ways to avoid plagiarizing any material is
through the use of Copyscape and to a lesser extent Grammarly. One important
thing to mention here, not all plagiarism checkers are created equal. Free
checkers like Small SEO Tools will not pick up on everything that may possibly
be an act of plagiarism.
Listening To Your Clients Needs
As with any other job, freelance
writing requires you to be a good listener. In fact, the degree that you will
find yourself having to listen to your clients may boarder on super human at
times. Just like working a regular 9-5 away from the comfort of your home, you
will still have to deal with less than agreeable people and more idiots than
even Google could provide search results for.
No worries though, if you are not afraid to ask questions, regularly
communicate, and promptly provide any changes to a project for your client then
you will have nothing to worry about. These three traits will address any
listening / communication issues that are common in content creation.
