Have you ever asked yourself where the billions of content you find online come from? These are works from people with a good part of it done by freelance content writers.
Companies know that the best way to connect with majority of online users is by publishing the right web content. They use content marketing as a way to carry out promotion and engage their customers. However, they rarely employ people full-time to take care of content not because they can’t pay, but because most content writers are freelance and won’t want to be tied down.
The downside of freelance writing in Cameroon and all over is that no matter how fast or good you are, you only have 24 hours a day. You need to manage that 24 hours to make the best out of it.
The good thing is that the market is wide and very flexible. You need to have the right skill sets before you delve into it. This can be done by evaluating your skills, be critical and very honest with yourself.
Freelance content writing is struggling to make a place in Cameroon. The few content writers you find are mostly working for clients outside the country – from Europe, Australia, United Kingdom and United States of America.
