Even though writing is among one of the most profitable online business that thousands of people are earning from, there are so many things associated with writing of contents which make it quite difficult for people to start earning most especially as a newbie.

One of the greatest disadvantage or challenge of so many people who are interested in writing is the competition associated with writing of content . A newbie who is interested to earn money online by writing of content as a freelancer has to pass through a series of competition to be able to Earn money with his or her writing skill.

A writer at the same time may decides to make money online by publishing of ebooks on Amazon Kindle , although this is one of the most profitable online business opportunities for writer but a writer still have to face some Challenges that could hinders them from earning smoothly as a publisher of ebooks .

Based on all these challenges , person who is really interested to make money as a writer may pass through some challenges that could possibly slow down their earning process.

As a result of this I was considering if there is a unique way writers can start making money without having to go through the long process of fighting off these challenges.

You should always know that nothing good comes easy. When you are genius or good at anything you would always have competition some people even face stiffer competition the way out is to adopt your strategy that is working and be consistent with it.
Writing uniquely and outstandingly needs you having the needed skills to excel. You should be able to do your research, state your facts, avoid both grammatical and wrong spelling and churn out search engine friendly articles.

They are very good writers out there on almost all the freelancing sites for writers like Upwork, Fiverr, freelancer.com, pay per people etc. You would see writers with high ranking and excellent reviews. They didn't get there in a day they took time to work on their writing skills so you should do same.

You can help yourself by learning how to write better viewing YouTube videos, you can read blogs to learn and even meet with these expert's to teach you.

To make it you have to be consistent and patient. Remember that time Rome wasn't built in a Day so don't expect to start having huge clients to patronize you there's nothing wrong with having few clients for a start then you can take the flight from there.

The truth of the matter is that sooner or later you would have to face these challenges, unless you do not plan to grow your writing career to another level. It would be you tackle them as soon as possible, that by the side, I would advice any beginner in writing to start small, go to seminars to grow and improve your skills and get a mentor who has years of experience in writing to help you brush up your skills.

People usually say right in and something easy but most of the time it is not like that . There are so many things that are concerned with starting a writing career like knowing a particular niche to follow , your writing style , how to constantly get content , how to develop a professional portfolio , how to keep on getting high quality and high paying clients , find the motivation to just keep going .

1. Join communities . I usually trying to believe that no matter the kind of problem that you might be facing , someone somewhere has fixed something like that before and as such joining communities is one of the quickest ways of constantly solving your problem along the way . You can be able to interact with the community and then share your problems to them and most times people will be able to help you out .

2. Seek mentorship . For most people who are just beginning their career in freelance writing , having a mentor who has done it before is one of the quickest way of doing it because it is going to help you to avoid some kind of mistakes that he did during his own time.

Nothing worthwhile comes easily and the same thing go for writing jobs. it can be very overwhelming when you are just getting started as a writer online. You might even become confusing if you are to engage in seo writing jobs.

You are allowed to make use your for your imagination if you are just ordinary articles for your client. The case is quite different if you are to engage in SEO writing. The reason is that you have to acquire a basic knowledge of search engine optimisation before you can become a good SEO writer.

You we need to deal with lots of writer's block if you are just getting started as a writer. Most of the time you will go blind whenever you are writing an article based on a particular topic. One of the ways to avoid this is to engage in lot of research about the topic you are writing.

You might have done a lot of research about the topic you want to write and still experience a writer block. The best thing you can do is to stop writing at that moment and find something else to do.

Writer block happens sometimes whenever your brain needs to take a rest. You don't need to force your brain to continue working. Just relax, things will start flowing soon.

Writers go through alot to put down their ideas and pass a message to their audience.
One of the stumbling block writers face alot is the very great WRITERS BLOCK,. Sometimes it comes when you have something really serious you are writing about and it becomes hard to overcome. In such cases, it is good read other people's work and meditate on them, ideas will come out.
Lack of income too can be frustrating, you have the idea, you've put it down but the income to produce or publish it becomes a problem.
Losing confidence in your self and your work is really bad. It makes you feel your write ups aren't good enough. Others write better than you, then you feel discouraged

If you are a writer writing in the real world, you have limited options to make money. You can either work in a publication as an article writer, work as a journalist, teach writing in schools/colleges, or publish books. However, in virtual work you have unlimited options, for example, you can work as a social media content writer, article writer, blogger, books, and ebooks writer, teach writing, etc. When you want to publish books in real work, it is really difficult to get published because publishers do not want to take chances with new writers. However, in a virtual world, you can self-publish books and ebooks and you do not have to spend any money to publish books and ebooks. Even as an article writer, it is easier to get started online compared to offline. For instance, when there are a lot of platforms online where you can start publishing your articles or selling your articles. Getting a writing job offline is very difficult. One of the major challenges associated with a writing career whether you want to start online or offline is your ability to write. You need very good language and writing skills, you also need skills to write almost anything.

It is not a gainsaying to conclude that writers especially on freelancing websites do face different challenges. They are always trying to get noticed and not many do patronize them. This has frustrated many of them and even decide to leave the freelancing websites.

Among the challenges that face freelancing is how to win over the competition that do face them. This challenge has made the freelancing websites so frustrating. The only way freelancers can just do this is to make sure to have patience. We can't jump to success, we only grow to success. They should only be persistent and exercise patience.

Competition is the features of freelancing websites. To overcome this, we need to make sure we need do more researches. When we grow on a daily basis, we will always be relevant. Most people always stay stagnant because there is no will power for them to research more. They always restrict themselves to what they have known only. And this has made them not to be relevant as they ought to have been.

Another thing to do is maybe we don't need to start with big freelancing websites, we can make sure to start with some small freelancing websites, this may help us to reduce skme challenges that do face freelancing especially competition.
