Don’t freelance – find a freelancer!

I make my living as a  freelancing writer and over the years I have managed to make myself quite a bit of money. It has occurred to me recently though, that I could probably make a lot more money if I used my writing skills to create my own content! It stands to reason that if my work is worth what people pay me, then they must be making more money from what I do than I make myself!

I decided to take the plunge and I created three websites so that I could populate them with my own work and try to monetise them for myself. This went really well for me. So well, in fact that it soon got to the stage where I was having to write full time just to create enough content for two of my sites.

I decided that I really needed to find my own writers! It suddenly made total sense that people hired me – because I just couldn’t keep up with my own work. I found a great site online which had a number of freelance writers available. All I had to do was post my requirements on the site, and within hours, a few writers would be back in touch offering me a price. Three months on and I am constantly employing people from this site. It means now that I can let my freelancers deal with the content of the existing sites and I can put my efforts into creating new ones!
