Freelance Copywriting Careers

By Ray Edwards

Many people are looking new ways to bring in more income because of the rising cost of living. A lot of people are forced to take on more than one job at a time and work far more hours in order to make ends meet. Taking on a part time job is the common response to this situation.

Freelancing is a great alternative to picking up part time work. Of those that become freelancers, most say it is far better than taking on a second job. This is especially true with copywriters because freelance copywriting has turned out to be an extremely lucrative field.

There is a high demand for copywriters because businesses constantly need their products competitively advertise. Freelance copywriters sell their services to clients on a project-per-project basis. Freelancers also usually make more money than employed copywriters. This is partially because they don't have to split their profits with a mother company or advertising agency. They get all the profits from their work in their pockets.

Besides a better income, here are some other great benefits of freelance copywriting:

Great Hours

Freelance copywriters get to determine their own schedule. As a freelance copywriter, you don't have to work a fixed number of hours per week. Most projects have a timetable, so as long as you get the project done on time it doesn't matter when you work. Usually the shorter the time period, the more you can charge. You can even negotiate higher rates for clients that need their projects done quickly.

Because of their flexible hours, freelance copywriters can do several assignments at once and accept more than one freelancing assignment at a time. This also means that freelancers have to manage their time well. If they miss a deadline, they can hurt their career and hinder their chances at success. But, because they can take on more projects, freelance copywriters can earn a significantly higher salary than other employed copywriters.

Variable Workload

Freelancing is also friendly to families because of its flexible schedule. You get to dictate your schedule, meaning that you can choose when you work and when you don't. You can back your workload off when your family needs you and then make it up when things slow down. That way you are there with your family more often. You can't find that kind of freedom in many other vocations.

Minimal Training

Freelancing your copywriting skills means that you don't have train for an entirely new career. You don't have to learn an entire new trade; you only have to learn how to modify your skills as a freelancer. Although continuing your education is always smart because it helps you keep your product competitive.

These were just a few of the benefits of freelance copywriting. Freelancing your services helps you take control of your future and determine the course of your career. If freelancing sounds like it could help you, then do some more research to see how you can become a freelance copywriter. - 15790

Why Is the People Search Niche So Hot?

By Samantha Carterson

All you have to do is enter "people search" on Google or Yahoo, and you'll see how many millions of sites pop up. It is currently estimated that nearly a third of all searches are related to this topic. Why? Because internet users have discovered the power of using search engines to find the people they are looking for, whether it's an old classmate or a lost relative. People searching is very popular. This niche is enormous and expected to continue its growth for some time.

How can you get started in this lucrative business? Well, you could come up with your own search engine, but that would take a long time to develop (probably years). Or you could hire someone to create it for you (would take a lot of money to do that). The easiest way by far is just join someone else's existing program. There are lots of affiliate programs out there that provide you with this very opportunity.

It's really easy to start with an affiliate program. But how do you choose a good program? It is essential that it include a good training program, and the training should be easily accessible right there in the member's area of the site. The program should have easy setup instructions. And the website should be easy to navigate.

The next thing you need to do is plan your marketing campaign. It does not need to cost a lot of money. There are lots of ways to market -- here are a few of them.

You need links to your site and lots of them. Write some articles and get them posted. As a matter of fact, write lots and lots of articles. Google and Yahoo love articles, especially those found on the large article sites. Not only can your articles be on the search engines, but your articles may well be picked up to be used by other websites as well. And that means more traffic to your site. To make money you need as much traffic to your site as you can muster. This method takes time, but it's free and won't break the bank.

Posting ads on free ad forums is another marketing method, at least for those who have the time to do it. It can be effective but it does require a lot of discipline to keep reposting ads all the time. And your ads won't stay on page one very long, so you definitely have to keep reposting them. But it is free to do.

Another free way to advertise is to post in forums. But be careful to follow the forum rules about posting. Most forums do not allow you to post ads. But most of them will allow you to put your link in your forum signature.

And then, of course, there is paid advertising (paid-to-click). Google Adwords, of course, is the best known, but many also use Yahoo and MSN as well as smaller ad services with great success. I do not recommend this for beginners, though. It's really easy to lose a lot of money with this method if you don't know what you're doing. It requires a lot of testing plus a significant budget to get started. It's best to read the free resources online about this type of marketing before you even think about trying it.

Buying traffic is lame. It might get your Alexa ranking up, but it definitely will not make you any sales. The majority of sites that sell traffic do not send real actual people to visit your website. The traffic is all fake -- it's produced by an autobot. So, no, do not do it. Not ever, not ever, not ever.

I am hoping the very best of success for each and every one of you. All you have to do is get motivated and then get started. - 15790

When you will listen to your own inner voice then you will be able to take proper decision. As long as you feel that whatever you are doing is right, nothing else should matter you. And the right decision is to invest in any of the life insurance policy and protect yourself and your family against the entire financial crisis which may occur in your life in future. Even if you are in a well settled business and doing very well in your business your first priority should be to invest in any of the life insurance policy like term life insurance for precautionary measures.

You may have to face a loss in your business, or you may lose your life in any accident or any other financial loss which may suddenly enter your life. So it is always an improved step taken in your own favor to invest in the life insurance policy and try to minimize your financial tensions if they ever occur in your life. Before investing in the life insurance policy you should take each step cautiously. You should try to learn all the facts, the payments which you have to do against the policy, the returns and then you should take a sensible approach towards the investment.

You will notice that after you have invested in the life insurance policy you will feel very self-sufficient and well organized in your day to day activities and expenses. You will be very easily able to manage both the present expenses as well as the future planning's which you have done. If you preplan all the expenses before investing in the life insurance policy then it will be easier for you to manage both at a time. I was unaware of the returns of the life insurance policies until and unless I myself invested in the universal life insurance policy.

Our family will also be able to face all the challenges, struggles in their life after our death. Because we know that we have saved enough for their future, even we will be relaxed with the thought that if something happens to us suddenly, then our family will not have to cut down to the luxuries. My sister never had to face any financial crisis in her life because of her husband's untimely death. He expired at a very young age. He was on the business tour when his plane met with a mishap and he lost his life.

Fortunately he had invested in the universal life insurance policy for the safety of his family which was to start yet, because my sister was expecting at the time when her husband left her. She had got married only three years back. They were very happily leading their life, that this tragedy took place in her life. But after a few months my sister come out of the distress and took up life with a new challenge. It was then I thought how important it is to invest in the life insurance policy and I immediately invested in the whole term life insurance policy. - 15790

Credit Report Dispute

By John Cooper

To remove negative marks on your credit report you must dispute the credit bureaus. You have two methods to do this.

1. Craft a dispute letter

This method requires you to create a dispute letter. In this letter you identify the negative mark you want removed and provide a reason why that mark is inaccurate.

Reasons typically include; item is out of date, information is wrong, not my account, account paid in full and etcetera. This letter will need to be sent to each credit bureau.

2. Hire a professional credit repair service.

If you choose this option the firm will create a dispute letter for you and send it to the bureaus. The benefit of a firm is they have advanced dispute techniques such as; creditor direct intervention, escalated dispute information requests, and debt validation.

I recommend hiring a service if you have multiple bad credit items on your report. However if you only have one or two items then you can do it yourself.

Once the bureaus get your dispute letter and deem it valid they will conduct an investigation. If the item can not be verified then it must be deleted from you credit.

Be aware that it is common for bureaus to use stall tactics to avoid conducting investigations. This is because it costs the credit bureaus potential profits to conduct an investigation.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act says the bureaus must investigate a disputed listing and if it is found unverifiable it must be removed from your report. The difficulty is getting the bureaus to find you dispute letter valid.

If you are experiencing trouble with this I recommend hiring a professional. However you can get the bureaus to deem you letter valid with some persistence.

Often an investigation will result in the negative listing being removed. This is a result of lenders being unwilling to spend the time and money verifying debts.

However you decide to dispute your credit, negative marks can be deleted. You do not have to wait the full seven years for these marks to be removed. - 15790
