    Not first, cause who tf cares about commenting “first” when the content is actually helpful and entertaining.

    For a niche site, how often should you post, how many posts do you need to start getting steady traffic?
    TIA. Great video as usual.

    I really have no idea who would hire freelancers that specialize in Technology and Gaming but I'm seriously about to just send an email to every single tech company I see and the follow that up by sending LOIs to every gaming company as well. All of the blog websites that do hire for these things want to pay 2 cents per word or less and I know I'm worth a bit more than that. I'm not even asking for $50 an hour, I'd be fine with $20, and that's only because I'm new to the field but have some college level experience.

    Hey Sean. I was just reading one of your blog posts-16 Writing Tools on Medium and the first link (Blank Page) goes to a page that asks if you want to buy the domain. Does Blank Page still exist? It sounded like something I’d like to try. Thanks for all the information you share.

    If only I had this when I started freelance writing! A lot of my work is ghostwritten, so I'm not sure how convinced the prospect is if they don't see my name under the articles I send them links to? Should I try and get only bylined work now?

    Is freelance writing a real job? Asking as all I seem to see is people selling courses on how to become a freelance writer.
