By Sally Delacruz


There are a lot of freelancers in this day and age. One way of keeping up and being creative is by entering a free monthly writing contest. There are quite a lot of these around, and usually you find them by looking at the different sites around. They usually want to promote themselves and this is one way of doing it.

You may be a creative writer, in which case you should be looking for a site that deals with these types of contests. You will be doing them a favor with your writing as well. This is for people who usually have a degree and want to express themselves by using various ways of thinking. It is not simply basic information.

There are helpful articles where you can find out a lot about how to go about most of these contests. Sometimes there is a community and this is a good thing because they will be able to give you some good advice. This will also keep you motivated. You can ask what you want in the forums and you can also get to know others.

If you are new to the world of writing, then you should start at a place which caters for basic needs. Here, people will be searching for information. You may have to do your research and then right about a certain topic. Sometimes sites like these will give you something to write about. There are a variety of things to write about, so you are not restricted.

A lot of people have had a lot of success in this way. However, they also started at the bottom and they did not have luck overnight. They persevered with this, so it means that you have to keep on trying and you will eventually find that you will succeed. This is something that takes time so you can't be despondent.

You must decide where your strengths and weaknesses lie because this will help you decide which is going to be best for you. Some people will be best suited for creative writing. Others will want to just get the words out. Not everyone can sit down for hours on end and touch type. You may be interested in one particular subject, such as psychology and there could be a site just for this.

Often there are a lot of magazine sites which are looking for people to contribute. You may have been in a career your whole life which has been geared to food, for example. This is where you could excel in this department. You may know a lot about one area, such as pastry. You could be a pastry chef and you may be able to write a lot about this.

You may have been a photographer or a psychologist. By submitting articles to a variety of sites, you may find that people will come back to you and ask you contribute more often. This is a nice thing to do, because it means that you don't have to research and it is almost like passive income because there is very little work to do on your part.
