𝘞𝘰𝘰𝘩𝘰𝘰🎉 $𝟭𝟬𝗸 𝗼𝗻 Upwork! I recently noticed that I've actually reached $10k earning milestone on Upwork. From writing blogs for $15-$20 to working on SaaS products and B2B businesses as a copywriter and content strategist, this has been an exciting journey. I have no so called "Linkedin Advice" as of now because every journey is different. But I strongly believe that loving what you do is the best way to stay consistent and I love writing and marketing products! #upwork #milestone #achievement #upworkmilestone #upworktips #freelancing #contentmarketing #copywriting

Fellow writers: How do you spend your free time? I've had excess free time since I concluded a blogging project a few months ago. I used to crave free time when I was swamped with work, but now that I'm not, I can't wait to be swamped again. Let’s see, in the past few months: ~ I've watched all of my favourite TV series. I even started rewatching some of my favourite oldies like Suits, The Vampire Diaries, and One Tree Hill. ~ I’ve developed an unhealthy interest in football. Okay, maybe unhealthy is a bit extreme, but I have been keeping up with lots of football drama. For instance, why do I care how many assists Palmer will give this season in the Premier League? ~ I've saved a lot of local recipes to try out. Cooking no longer feels like a chore to me. Okay, I may have spoken too soon. ~ I've made HubSpot Academy my new school. I've been taking a lot of marketing courses and I'm loving it. But seriously, I can’t wait to get back to work. So, if you have a blogging or web copywriting project you’d like to kick off in Q4, send me a DM. Or, if you're looking to add a writer to your content marketing team, keep me in mind. ____________________________________________________________________________ Hi, I'm Mercy.

I've finally found the reason many fail online… They can't just focus on one thing Today you are Copywriter, Tomorrow affiliate Marketer Another day - digital Marketer, Day after tomorrow LinkedIn creator, Next week, Social Media manager 1 month later online creator; Then - Virtual Assistant Blah, blah blah blah blah Haba 😂😂😂 Listen: Stop confusing and scaring your potential clients away… Decide on on one or a few craft and dwell there for some years first. You succeed at what you do, Then carry that success into something else. Not - jumping up and down into the ‘next big thing’. Shiny Object Syndrome is for loosers!!! =========================================== For Me: I'm a Skillful Copywriter and Email Marketer! No leave, no transfer 💪💪 Until I get multiple significant results, then I can gradually pivot into higher and greater things! Happy Wednesday!

❓ How did I build my reputation as a content writer? ➡️ Because I put myself in the shoes of a business that requires my services. 🎯 Too many writers get carried away with "quality" statements. Sure, quality is a must-have, but you don't expect the car salesman to pitch that the new car in the store has tires and a steering wheel, right? ⏱ Yes, "quality" is considered part of the deal, which is not negotiable. What matters the most is dependability. People want to know that writers are capable of doing tasks when needed, not when they have the time. 📈 If I were a business owner and needed 200K words for a new website, I would hire people who can deliver good quality in a timely manner. "Ultra-high" quality won't make a difference, but slow publishing speeds WILL affect the bottom line. 📕 Moral of the story: Think like the person who wants to hire you. -- #contentwriter #contentwriting #b2b

2 days ago, we created a WA Group for newbies & mid-level SEO content writers…. A group I wish I had when I was a newbie... When I felt stuck and overwhelmed with questions. When I needed help but didn't know who to ask… It took me 2170+ days to reach where I am today… But it could’ve been earlier if I had a helping hand.  It takes longer when you don’t know the path… There are 1000s at a stage where I was… 3.5y ago.  I can’t help them all at once.  But I’ve decided to help 60 of them this time. & I want to transfer everything I learned in 2170+ days to those 60  in the next 90 days. We’re 50% filled & have space for 30 more. & we’ve seats for 5 Pakistanis, 15 Indians & 10 from ANY other country.  (Yes, I want diversity)... The only criteria we’re looking for in the next 27? We'd love to have you if; - You’re into SEO content writing for the long term.  - You are eager to learn and dedicated to your craft.  - You don’t rely on AI to write & determined to polish your writing MANUALLY. Want to join “The Saiqo Writer”? Prove the above three in a short comment below, and I’ll send you the link. See you on the other side. #Mrsaiqo.

I don’t use CTAs for my ICP anymore. If you noticed my posts, I usually don’t add CTAs. Only 1 out of 7 posts have CTAs. When everybody is preaching about adding CTAs and the importance of using the right CTAs Wtf, am I saying? Hold up, listen. My goal is not always to generate leads. I don’t mind if I get them tho. But on a serious note, What’s the point of adding CTA when you are not talking to your leads, right? There are times when I write for my fellow creators There are times when I am just giving out gyaan  There are times when I am just writing to vent out  And then there are times when I write for my clients So it’s absolutely pointless adding a CTA to hit me up for branding under a post where I am randomly roasting somebody. Right? It’s unprofessional of me to do that. So write accordingly. Stop following all the advice from LinkedIn and don’t end up in a mess. (I care for you, so you have to listen to me) There is no wrong in using CTA, but it is a sin to use wrong CTAs PS: Here is a good food picture for you cause, yk sharing is caring

Whenever I post about blogging, I get some comments or DMs saying blogging doesn't work anymore. Correction: The old ways of blogging don't work anymore. Blogging is evolving so changes are evident. If you're still stuck in the old ways of: - Poor SEO practices - Not having a proper offer - Not diversifying traffic sources - Excessively relying on affiliates and ads Then, blogging won't work. In the latest article of Path To Content, I've shared how blogging is changing and how to make your blog a success in 2024 and beyond. Here's the link to the article 👇 https://lnkd.in/dvs-6zy2

You get what you pay for in life. "Expert content writer, 20+ years of experience, 10+ niches, bla bla bla." You've read this tag line a million times. Some of you bear it as we speak, and therefore, my apologies if these words seem harsh. They are not intended for you personally. Let's start with the obvious: No one gets tier-1 content for peanuts. There's absolutely no way that'll happen, and please allow me to explain why. It takes real expertise. Great writers aren't instantly born online after reading an article on "careers that pay up to $100k a year"; instead, they were the boys and girls at the back of the class listening to the teacher while writing down the stories, the love letters, the diaries, and the novels. That "passion", a term that is so misused nowadays, led them to pursue an often pointless, ruinous career in humanities. Their parents braced for the worst, but in some cases, it paid off. Maybe not $100k+ or anywhere near that, but you get the point. It's years and years in the making. Thousands of hours of "work" done even before their first job. Perhaps by accident, recommendation or sheer luck, they end up here. The vast online world, where possibilities seem endless, to the point where they'll have to directly compete with the masses of self-appointed post-pandemic writers looking to flip a quick, easy buck while "writing some stuff". They've read it on Sonja's blog. She did it, writing about travel and the top 10 cafés in her block, so why can't you? I know for a fact that to obtain the level of content that will make a difference, I need to find someone who's a brilliant writer and understands the topic. Most importantly, they must know their reader inside out, or have the commitment to establish that connection. Oh, you already do that, I forgot - apologies. Don't forget: a great writer has the ability to find the right data and interpret it. Understand what their competitors are missing. Find the opportunities, take a few risks here and there, and truly know how to build something that is unique. Then, there are all the technical skills required to make a piece that even stands a chance out there. So when you're struggling to understand why some articles costs $5 and others cost $500, consider you're not paying for the same service, nor will you aim for the same results. The more content I wrote, the more complex the process became. The more tools, references, fact-checking, and technical support I required. Over time, the results were there. Some pages ranked #1 in Google (seriously), got referenced by mainstream media (also seriously), and occasionally got me invited to sign an article or two in said media. Pricing isn't as subjective as it may seem. An accurate process that takes years to improve and requires constant updating is valuable. Simple. _________________________ I write about #iGaming and #contenmanagement in a #remotework universe. Follow me for a crying shoulder - you're not alone!

I hate when freelance writers use the word “really” or “very”. Me. Freelance writers is me… But sometimes I really need to use it to get one point across. But I know it can be very... redundant. I see some writers using “extremely” to give it a dramatic note, others using “incredibly” for emphasis, and there are always the ones using stronger adjectives like (or such as) paramount, remarkable, or unparalleled (well this last one may be AI). I’m still not convinced of those. Any tips on breaking this habit? #freelancing #freelancewriters #writing
