Are you a freelancer or you are aspiring to be one? If you are one, then you must have experienced what this article is about to express. However, if you are an aspiring writer who has a great passion for content creation, then don’t be surprised if you get shocked by what you are about to read.
As a writer, you must have had valid reasons which dragged you into the writing industry. A thought that writing has a good income, enjoyable and has flexibility might have been the reason. But did you at any given moment give what you already ventured into a second thought? Maybe you did or didn’t. Writing may be offering you the freedom you envisioned the very moment the idea of joining the freelancing industry flashed through your mind despite the hardships you go through.
So why is it that writers deserve the ticket to heaven?
Who would doubt that writers don’t belong to heaven? Writers do diligent work hence not associated with evil and that’s the reason none thinks of associating them with evil. Besides, they undergo a lot when trying to make ends meet. A deeper overview shows some of the things they go through as highlighted below;
Late nights; the one who came up with the quote –poverty is manufactured on the bed must have thought about the sleepless nights’ freelancers have. When others are deep asleep and in their dreamland, a writer is closed in a room with the head buried in a laptop or desktop. Some writers also choose to sleep some minutes past midnight and wake up at cockcrow. Repetition of that makes it a culture in their life.
Too much knowledge; Writers deal with varied concepts ranging from technology, health, politics, socio-economic, economic and religion. With vast knowledge gained from these areas, a writer is left with too much knowledge after completing a task. Since there might be more tasks at hand, a writer easily forgets about the previous knowledge gained and researches new ideas thus making the library of knowledge useless.
Delayed consideration; after completion of task and submission, the content written undergoes verification by the employer. If the content meets the expectations, the writer is notified but not paid immediately hence making the writer to wait for long. As a result, a freelancer may be prompted to seek government employment which is not easy to get. Furthermore, a writer may also take some time to get consideration from a prospective employer after an application.
Exploitation; Due to desperation for tasks and money, the majority of writers do fall in the trap set by new employers. Employers use phrases like “Consistent flow of work” or “Long term project” to lure writers into working for them and end up paying them peanuts. Employers do that despite the long hours spent researching to come up with unique content.
2 A.m. Wake up call for corrections; after spending long hours to complete a task perfectly and submit in time, a writer retires to bed. However, an employer whose time zone differs from that of a writer wakes up the writer who by then-unknown to the employer is deep asleep. The main reason for the wakeup call is not to ask for payment details but to request the writer to make corrections which times may seem to be petty. Since writing is a call and not a career, the writer wakes up from the deep slumber to make corrections.
Huge budget on data Bundles than Food; since writing does not require rumors but facts, a writer is compelled to slash part of the consumption budget and direct it to data which is later used in extensive research work. Writers believe that it is an only comprehensive research that can make them meet and exceed the employer’s needs hence the huge budget.
Fewer friends; a writer’s circle is very limited to the number of friends. A writer does not have all the time to hang out with everyone hence fewer physical friends and more online friends whom some are also writers. Therefore; it’s not easier for physical friendships to work for a freelancer.
Why don’t they give up?
Despite the waves in the sea of freelancing, writers continue to sail across the small and big tides. Giving up is what they don’t dream of. Also, any attempt to give up may make them drown in the sea. Therefore; writers deserve the ticket to heaven because that’s where they belong to.
