Weekend Quick Tip: Write about your Passion
What are you passionate about? Once you answer this question your career as a freelance writer will be much more successful, profitable, and enjoyable. I found out early on that writing about my passion is the way to have a good time, day in and day out. If I am writing about something I enjoy it is easy to get excited.
No matter who you are you are passionate about something. For me, this is sports, travel, and business. In turn, anytime I have the chance to work on a project based around these subjects I snap up the opportunity. And of course, when I send out query letters it is usually to publications in these niches.
But I don’t know what my passion is? This is a common problem among many new freelance writers. You may not think you know what you are passionate about, but you are wrong. Sit down and take a closer look at your life and you will be able to find your calling in no time at all. Do you enjoy raising your kids? If so, you are passionate about parenting and there is a huge market for this. Do you enjoy watching football on Sunday? If so, look into starting a blog based around this sport or your favorite team.
Anytime you can write about your passion you should do so. If you don’t know what you are passionate about it is time to do a self-evaluation. In the end you will have a list of topics that inspire you to do your best.Â
