Thank you for this article. I particularly liked this quote: “Each time you do it successfully, you increase your knowledge base, your skills get stronger, and your confidence begins to grow.†This is so true!
Once I had a situation where I had 9 articles due within a few days of each other. I was getting paid for 7 of them, but I still put as much time and energy into the 2 I was writing for free.
Readers do not know if I’m getting paid to write, nor do they care, they just want good content which I always try to deliver even if there is no monetary compensation.
