Benefiting From A Free Monthly Writing Contest

By Sally Delacruz


There are a lot of freelancers in this day and age. One way of keeping up and being creative is by entering a free monthly writing contest. There are quite a lot of these around, and usually you find them by looking at the different sites around. They usually want to promote themselves and this is one way of doing it.

There are many people on these sites from all over the world where you can get advice from and learn in a number of different ways. There are usually different subjects and topics that you can choose from, but this depends on where you go. It is a good idea to choose a site where there is a forum because this means there is a community where you can get to know others.

You may also know something specific because of a profession that you have been involved in. There are a lot of magazines that you can write for, and this is one way of earning money and winning a contest because of your knowledge in the subject. You may have been a photographer, so writing about this subject is something that you can do.

It is important to find one of these contests that you don't have to pay for because this will mean that you can earn more should you win. In actual fact, if a site charges you for writing, you should probably stay away because quite often it is a scam. There are so many free sites around so you should rather stick with those ones.

Most people will find something that they are interested in or that they know a lot about, so you don't have to do too much research on. This means that you can quickly go on to the next thing. However, you must make sure that you proof read and that there are no mistakes, otherwise you are wasting your time.

There are usually sites which have a community with a forum attached. Here you can learn from other senior members. They are usually willing to share advice to newer members who are eager to get going with their writing career. You should not feel shy to share what you need to know about this because this is how you learn more.

Everyone started in the same place, and most people don't forget this, so this is why they pass on that information. Leave a message on the forum and there will be usually be someone who will come back to you. You should be serious about this, or they will feel as if you are wasting their time, so that is one thing to remember.

You may have been a photographer or a psychologist. By submitting articles to a variety of sites, you may find that people will come back to you and ask you contribute more often. This is a nice thing to do, because it means that you don't have to research and it is almost like passive income because there is very little work to do on your part.
