The problems faced by newbie article writers

It is frustrating as to what newbie writers go through so as to get into the article writing market whether for blogs or academic related reasons. They get coned, cheated on and are left to wonder whether to continue with the struggle or to give up and let go all the frustrations. The article writing industry is full of so many con women and men whose main intention is to get the services that these people provide and later on tell them that either their articles had been denied or that their articles did not meet the desired standards by the clients.

Most newbie article writers are broke freshmen university students who probably had heard about how people were making money online writing articles and earning a living by that and therefore they also intended to do the same. University life is tough and even tougher if you do not have money. You will always want to fit into the standards of other people but due to your financial reasons you can’t and therefore you opt for the  article writing gig or academic writing as many people would love to call it.

A newbie writer is desperate; he will want to make quick cash from writing without first knowing the market structure of the industry. He will write poor articles and deliver content not worth paying for but they go through all these because probably they got no one to guide them through the process. Some of the challenges faced by these writers include:

Con men employees, lack of training, poor knowledge of the industry, lack of writing skills and format know how, lack of qualifications, lack of experience

CONMEN EMPLOYEES

If you are an article writer and you have not been scammed or conned by an employee or anybody else who promises pay for your work then you must have been very lucky.7 of every 10 article writers have been conned by their employees in the introductory stage of their career. It is like a rite of passage where every writer with the intent of making money has to go through. This has to stop anyway because it discourages new and extremely talented writers who drop out of the industry without fully discovering the full potential of the industry. Con employees make it hard for junior writers who want to grow their prowess and make money online from making it to their objectives. It is a sad scenario which can only be made write by the junior writer. In case you write for someone but he or she fails to pay you as per the agreement the best solution I’ll give you is to publish your work online, by this his work will be captured by anti-copy paste software and will be rendered as plagiarized work.

LACK OF TRAINING

Training is becoming a vital organ in the academic article writing industry. With the increasing number of writers who join the industry almost on daily basis there is a demand for training to take place since these writers are inexperienced and need to be taught on how to handle their employers, clients, accounts and how to avoid common mistakes such as plagiarism. Writers should be taught on why it is important to have timely delivery of clients work and when to say no or yes to a project. They    have to be taught on how to  bid on projects that will give them satisfactory income and at the same time help them to grow in the industry. With these factors under consideration a writer will be able to write high quality articles.

LACK OF WRITING SKILLS AND FORMAT KNOW HOW

Different writers come with different writing skills. However, some writers lack these skills but are willing to join the industry. It is advisable that before filling the skills box in any article writing website you should have the skills required for that particular article you wish to write. This helps in such a way that you will be able to deliver high quality content and your article will not be rejected. A newbie article writer should be able to know the different article writing formats which include   APA, CHICAGO, HAVARD, MLA, GOST, TURABIAN and SISTO2 all come in different editions. A writer should familiarise himself with this formats so as to be reliable in the market.

LACK OF QUALIFIATIONS

Some article writing websites will require you to have at least a diploma as a proof that you are qualified and for that fact you are a professional. Most writers are university graduates and some are still doing their undergraduate courses in universities and colleges. Therefore, for those who do not have these qualifications it is hard for them to get hired in some of the sites. It is however recommended that these writers who do not have the necessary qualifications can work as employees for a qualified writer.

LACK OF PERSONAL COMPUTER AND INTERNET CONNECTION

Newbie article writers face it hard especially when they do not have the resources to start out as writers. A writer will find it hard to get articles written if he does not have a computer or a smartphone worse of if they do not have a good or reliable network connections. However they can overcome these by either borrowing or going to cyber cafes to get their articles written. Smartphones and PCs are becoming cheaper every day and therefore are affordable. With access to pc and the internet you should be set go.
