			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Intercultural" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/53326337@N00/4846447512/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4131/4846447512_d4ec1dfc53.jpg" border="0" alt="Intercultural" width="350" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Becoming a freelancer takes thought and effort. If you recently lost a job, you might find yourself bootstrapping the first few months of your freelance existence. Some freelance workers have internal compasses that guide them effortlessly to what niche they need to be in. Others need help. If you are having trouble deciding what area to use your talents and knowledge, read these 5 laws for finding your niche and <span style="color: #b8860b;"><strong>guess no more</strong></span>.<span id="more-5575"></span></p>
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Reflect on your life.</strong></span> This doesn’t mean you have to write a memoir or meditate for hours on end. Grab a notebook and pen though, because you are going to need to write. Look in your history at the problems you have faced in business or personal life. How did you solve these problems? <strong><span style="color: #b8860b;">Write down any answers that come to you.</span></strong> Reflect on your experience with these problems. What did you do to fix the situation? List examples of your story. Write down the failures and successes.</li>
<li><span style="color: #b8860b;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Look for patterns.</strong></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"> </span>Notice your interests. What do you talk about most? If people come to you for answers with specific problems, write down how you helped them or what they wanted from you. If you lack ideas, <span style="color: #b8860b;"><strong>go to the local bookstore and notice what section appeals to you the most</strong></span>. What motivates you to buy a magazine or book? If you keep buying the same books and magazines, chances are you have experience with a related problem, but are seeking new learning from it.</li>
<li><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Get ideas.</strong></span> Go to forums and other websites and discover what problems people have. Even if you don’t know everything about the niche, you can find people to help you. If you write great web copy, you can hire out a designer for websites. The <span style="color: #b8860b;"><strong>main goal is to solve problems</strong></span> that people have. In business, you have to be specific and target your market. These people want solutions. Get ideas to find answers.</li>
<li><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Ask others. </strong></span>Family and friends will tell you what you are good at. They probably come to you regularly with their problems and you automatically respond with an answer. Maybe you didn’t realize this before. <strong><span style="color: #b8860b;">Take time to notice</span></strong> what they come to you about. Ask them directly what you would be good at doing.</li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #000000;">See what’s trending.</span> </strong>Popular books and websites have the answers for you. Find out what people are looking for by checking out sites in your niche. If you work in the self-help category as a coach, check out <a href="http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/bestsellers/" target="_blank">Publisher’s Weekly</a> for the top Nonfiction books. Then <span style="color: #b8860b;"><strong>tailor your freelance business around your experience</strong></span> in the topic. If you write, check out top writing sites for what people need. Article writing is a popular market and with your knowledge, there should be a specialization in there for you.</li>
</ol>
<p><span style="color: #b8860b;"><strong>Find out what people want.</strong></span> People present problems to anyone and everyone until they find an answer. Look for this. Discover what problems they have and tailor your business to serve them. They will buy. Solving problems is value to consumers in your niche. Find what they want and set up your freelance business around that issue for how you can help.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img id="il_fi" class="aligncenter" src="http://sumhow.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/overwhelm.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="283" /></p>
<p>If you feel overwhelmed by researching an article before writing, there’s good news. Searching for sites on the Internet often leads to wrong advice. Using these tips helps you receive accurate information produced by well-known fact-checking sources.<span id="more-5531"></span></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Enter .org and .edu in your Google searches</strong>. When having an assignment that needs research, consider entering these endings after your keywords. Google pulls up a list of relevant websites and display these at the top. You can also use the Google Advanced search that narrows your focus on a topic.</li>
<li><strong>Use Google Scholar</strong>. Using this more advanced Google search lets you find resources published by colleges and universities. Research performed by well-known publications displays information you might need for the article you are writing.</li>
<li><strong>Sign up for HARO.</strong> This site, which is short for “Help a Reporter Out,” gives leads for experts. Quotes and interviews from an expert save reporters and article writers from having to track down leads for an article. Instead, using this online site, you receive the quotes and information you need, and the expert gets free publicity in return. Conducting interviews over the telephone is an easy way to get the right information for your article.</li>
<li><strong>Scan encyclopedias.</strong> Buying a set of encyclopedias lets you have data readily available. You can easily reach for one to find out the population for Burma, if needed. Using facts in your article makes it more credible. You can quote facts from an encyclopedia without having to give a reference because it is common knowledge.</li>
<li><strong>Look for reputable websites.</strong> When you perform research over the Internet, so many sites look like they have authority. However, a site like Wikipedia has many contributors write for them without crosschecking facts. Looking for websites like .org means you also have to check who is reporting the information. If the site links with many well-known organizational literature and used as an information site, it should be safe content to quote in your article. However, if the site has one person contributing to it with the intent to make money, the site may not fall under the suitable site to use in research.</li>
<li><strong>Buy a membership to Lexis Nexis.</strong> This database, and several others, has many article references. You can search through legal databases and receive accurate information to use in your articles. Having this powerful database may be all you ever need, depending on the subject.</li>
<li><strong>Keep books nearby.</strong> Buying the latest diet and health book can give you a wealth of information. Quoting from the book makes your article look more authoritative. If you need to write about the latest health trend, look to your books for ideas. You can easily find information and build upon it for an article directed to any niche area.</li>
<li><strong>Find statistics easily in search engines.</strong> With so many websites online today, it is often hard to find a decent statistics page. If you have a specific keyword or category you have to research, type “statistics” behind it in Google. You will likely bring up a few that will pay off. Make sure to check the website for accuracy, depending on the creator of the content. Once you come across decent statistic websites, add them to your bookmarks for later use.</li>
<li><strong>Make a file of clippings.</strong> If you specialize in a certain niche, start collecting information to use in your research. Creating a file box with clippings for quotations and statistics or ideas is useful for all writers. You can easily organize and refer to them when you need to use them in an article.</li>
<li><strong>Organize your business cards.</strong> Having contacts at your reach gives you information when you need a quote. As an article writer or journalist, organizing contacts by business instead of last name is more useful. You can easily find the expert you need to contact.</li>
<li><strong>Use publications.</strong> At High Beam, you can find many recognized publications in one place. Instead of buying subscriptions for every magazine in your specialization, you can have them all within reach. Subscription to High Beam includes many newspapers and magazines with articles, book reviews and journals. Their subscription does not charge a per article fee.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><a title="Surprised monkey" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/10932175@N00/4929122668/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4101/4929122668_841ba47ccf.jpg" border="0" alt="Surprised monkey" /></a></p>
<p>Freelancers mostly stay to themselves. We often remain in our own little worlds and <span style="color: #b8860b;"><strong>forget to check in with others </strong></span>or see what our competition is doing. Over time, we might feel overwhelmed or frustrated from not having enough money or too much to do. Without a <strong><span style="color: #b8860b;">solid business and marketing plan</span></strong>, we sidetrack and throw our energy into stuff that does not bring in business. Mistakes lead to much money left on the side that we could be making.<span id="more-5554"></span></p>
<p>1.    Not reaching prospective clients through email. Notice this does not mean email marketing. <span style="color: #b8860b;"><strong>One of the core elements of email people notice is the signature line.</strong></span> Do you have yours set up? This one essential element can pull in more business for you. Think about it. How many emails do you send to friends, family and business acquaintances? Let your signature do the marketing for you and tell everyone what you do, how to reach you and give a link to your website.</p>
<p>2.    Keeping to yourself. You have a business to run and stuff to do, everyone respects that. Most other freelancers do also. However, by joining an organization, you are in league with other freelancers. You can receive cheaper health insurance too. You receive invites to conferences and <span style="color: #b8860b;"><strong>engage in a forum</strong></span>, you also receive updated job listings that members who know you will recommend you get.</p>
<p>3.    Limiting yourself to your blog. Many freelancers have only enough time to write and post a blog on their site everyday. Instead of concentrating so much time on your own site, <strong><span style="color: #b8860b;">start guest blogging</span></strong> on other people’s sites. Your niche area can tie into many others. Other sites enjoy guest bloggers because it offers their readers valuable information. You receive traffic to your blog and sell services because people may be looking for what you have to offer.</p>
<p>4.    Keeping an employee personality. In a newly set up business, it may be easy to work for the company. Over time, as a freelancer, you might find the company is controlling you, instead of the other way around. Break free from this habit by <strong><span style="color: #b8860b;">creating a business plan that allows you to hire others</span></strong>. Once you have some people in place, you can spend more time marketing the company and yourself.</p>
<p>5.    Not positioning yourself as an expert. It seems okay to provide services like creating websites or writing copy, but you are missing many opportunities. With your blog, you can also <strong><span style="color: #b8860b;">position yourself to provide consultation and courses</span></strong> to others who might want to learn what you offer. This extra can come as residual income that adds more money to your pocket each month.</p>
<p>6.    Depending on online sources only. Making your blog your presentation can help you create a successful off-line business. Many Internet marketers do not make money with their blog. They offer it as a <strong><span style="color: #b8860b;">doorway to their other services and products in an offline business</span></strong>.</p>
<p>7.    Missing joint ventures. If you haven’t started joint ventures, you are leaving much money on the side. Joint ventures occur when you and another person or group of people come up with an idea. You can create a product through an interview or series of interviews. You then market the information product to your list or the other person’s list. They get to know about you and your services and <strong><span style="color: #b8860b;">build a relationship with you</span></strong> through your joint venture partner.</p>
<p>8.    Not having a blog or online presence. If you haven’t built a blog or website yet, people won’t know about you. It is easy to create a blog today with the many free tools available. Once you have an online presence, you can <strong><span style="color: #b8860b;">upload your resume and samples</span></strong> for people to view.</p>
<p>9.    Not taking part on other people’s sites. Comments and forums are available for anyone to join in the conversation. <strong><span style="color: #b8860b;">Connect with other people </span></strong>through making useful comments on blogs you frequent. Once people get to know you, they will visit your site and seek your help.</p>
<p>10.    Not using free directories. Get your site listed using free directories. You can easily use article directories to build notice to your site. Create articles for directories that are popular. People read sites like <a href="http://ezinearticles.com" target="_blank">Ezine Articles</a> daily and might look for information you offer. Not only do you<span style="color: #b8860b;"><strong> receive a link to your site</strong></span> in the author bio section, but you drive traffic also.</p>
<p>11.    Not using in person opportunities.
