I have seen so many freelancers writing ad copies or content writing for websites for FREE just to create portfolio but they miss the power of FREE available sources, remember if you are doing some work for FREE it will not be valued and you will not grow.
Let me explain above 5 ways you can create amazing content writing portfolio and can get freelance projects along with personal growth.
LinkedIn Newsletter (FREE):
- It is FREE LinkedIn feature where you can write daily, weekly or monthly newsletters about any topic which you want to master.
- People can subscribe to your LinkedIn Newsletter and you can grow subscribers list which is another great way to show your target client that people love your content and they follow it
- I run 2 LinkedIn Newsletter (1 for Google ADs & 2 for Digital Marketing and have over 1000 subscribers)
Yourwebsite .com (Can start in less than $100):
- You see TechOnClick is my blog for my content writing skills, if you are a content writer & you dont have own blog, you are missing big time.
- Anyone can start blog website in less than $100
- Get Domain & Hosting from naxsol.com
- Hire Marketist.co for website design
- Get 1-2 consultation session from imrannadir.com on how to write blogs
- That’s it, your blog is ready and can begin writing
- Note: at later stage you can monetize your blog
Medium .com (FREE):
It’s FREE source where writers sign up for FREE and write about their specific topic and that can be used as portfolio to showcase your sample content writing work.
WordPress/Blogger .com
WordPress & Google provides FREE platform for content writers to write. I started my content writing journey back in 2013-2014 from wordpress.com and blogger.com
It’s simple to use, go there, sign up, create user id and start writing.
Social Media Pages/Profiles:
Your social media should talk for your services, remember there is always friend of a friend who needs your services. All you have to do is to make sure when a friend of a friend visits your profile or page, it should tell him/her that you are right fit for the job.
