Research

If you find yourself writing for the same niche over and over, it will save you time and effort to build a database of information and industry sources that you can access on demand.

Quite often new writers are given the advice, “write what you know.” As a freelance writer, this doesn’t always work. While you can easily follow that advice when writing for revenue sharing content sites, when a client needs an article on a specific subject that you have only the vaguest knowledge of or interest in, you don’t want to turn them away. And if you know how and where to research, you don’t have to.
