My Plan on Building Writing Portfolio

I have not much seriously ventured into the writing. But this year I have plan to get into th writing for serious reasons. I am building my portfolio on that. I have managed to do some of the projects for upfront payment. And so far that has helped me score some random projects. I think I am learning to get into this professionally this year. So I have to build the portfolio. And I have to get into regular contribution to some of the places. This means I have to write on multiple places and then consider the working to be more in professional way so far. And hopefully that does work out for me. I have lot of small changes to do with that. But just starting it out in the hope that it can build some good references.

Writing on Guest Post Sites

I think the best way to start the writing career is with the contributor section on the sites. Most of the sites need free content. And for this to work i am sure there are some people who can work with such content on regular basis. In such case you just pick one site with niche you like to write content into. And then consider using those references in your resume. Most of the writers are following this formula and for them this does work to some extent. I think with time there can be a lot of links that you can generate for the guest post sites. That’s what I am trying to find out for making my writing portfolio.

References

I think by having some portfolio and making resume. I have more chances of getting regular work through my writing. Though it is not going to be any cheap. But with time this does help for anyone who wants to have strong references on the ground. Most of the offline references do pay out. And you can build some nice business around the references. Just goes to show you that such references however take time to build out. You can start by making one connection and then build on that connection. Slowly this will help you make more references from there. That’s how I started as well.

Links

Another thing that does help is the link. The more links your portfolio has from other writers and the places. The more it can help you. I have found that some of the time, building writing portfolio can be good if you can get more links on your portfolio page. I have seen some people getting a lot of links. And for them it does work out slowly. But if you work hard enough, it may need some efforts there too. It can not be that easy, but it has to be done on larger scale in order for for back-links to work.

That being said, as you can see there is a lot to be done. And you have to work harder. You have to do more paid projects so that you can some more credible references. That’s what is working for many people so far from what I know.
