The first step is always the hardest, which is exactly why most writers do not make it.

Yes, we know it is risky to leave everything to concentrate only on writing, but if you don’t actually make the leap, you will never know what it is like to be a successful freelance writer.

When talking about successful freelance writers, David Shrauger is definitely one of them.

Situated in Seattle, this writer/blogger/editor/SEO master has been through hell to become what he is today.

This prompted David to come up with many a tip on how to overcome all the difficulties every freelance writer is facing at the beginning of his or her career.

Building Your Online Credibility

In order to become a successful freelance content writer, David says you will want to follow these 3 useful tips:

  • Write about something you know (in your own niche)
  • Do your best to promote your writing
  • Build a nice online portfolio

It is important to realize just how important social media presence is nowadays. You should try to write every article like you mean it and you need to promote it on almost every social media platform available.

Choose an interesting and thought-provoking theme, write a good article and release it out there with your name on it.
