Are You Brushing Up on Your Skills?
October 14th 2008 11:37
For those of you venturing on to this blog who are not new to the freelance writing work, how often do you brush up on your skills? There are a number of ways to accomplish this:
1. writing courses and workshops that are face-to-face
2. online classes or workshops
3. how to ebooks
4. traditionally published guides
6. informational articles or web content
7. ezines, newsletters, magazines
I admit that I should spend more time brushing up on my skills, and learning new ones. My biggest weaknesses seem to fall in the areas of self-promotion and search engine optimization (SEO).
What interests me most about these weaknesses is the fact that, when I began my freelance writing career in 1999, I had absolutely no idea I would needed to possess these skills. Over the years I’ve grown to understand the need to strengthen these skills and I’m sure, as the years progress, I’ll come across more skills I’ll need to learn and strengthen . . . that seems to have very little to do with freelance writing.
What skills do you need to brush up on?
