On February 22, 2010 my life as I knew changed completely, for the better of course! I began my freelance writing career by posting my own personal poetry, short stories, and interviews done with a few musician friends. Receiving positive feedback from my own work allowed me to have the confidence to claim the assignments associated content offered to be on a daily basis. While this was no means a get rich quick opportunity it has allowed me to broaden my writing skills and projects. In doing so Associated Content has opened the door for future and present clientele!
With my college degree and my personal associated content profile on my resume I began sending my information out to a few ads I had found on craigslist. No feedback was gained for about 3 weeks, and I was about to give up, when to my surprise I landed my very first client! Utilizing my skills earned as well as learned in college and from associated content I have now been working with this client on a day to day basis for almost 2 months now. A short time ago I received a response back from an ad stating I got the position of article writing for orphanages! This was a relief as I have just purchased a new home with my fiancée and son! Paying $ 250 a week to write articles and other references to those in the orphanage was a dream come true! Pay being decent and doing what I love most, writing and helping and aiding children in their daily life!
With associated content, and two clients under my belt, I was able to apply for an at home job through a local court reporting service! They are sending me my paper work and when that is filled out I will be employed! Aside from my own hard work completing my college degree I have associated content to thank for being my stepping stone toward my new found life!
THANK YOU ASSOCIATED CONTENT AN ALL INVOLVED!!!!!!!
