I am a freelance creative writer, content business owner and i also
create online creative writing workshops to empower housewives,
students and working professionals to make money of their writing in
their free time.
I started writing when I was in h.s.c in college and slowly
transformed my writing into a full-fledged writing and content career.
Several people told me that you can only be a freelancer after a
decade of experience or so; I didnt have the experience but I had the
will to succeed and the confidence to perform well in writing; i know
i would fall but i was ready to rise again and try harder to get
better and improvise. I started with a small client and then i got big
names on my own merit, without recommendations, purely on the basis of
my work. Today at 24 I have worked with companies like GILI, INORBIT
MALLS MUMBAI, SAMSUNG DUBAI, CNBC TV18 WEBSITES, INDIAPLAZA.IN, DNA,
TIMES OF INDIA and many more providing them content for their
websites, being a consultant for many of these companies and just a
few months ago I conducted a workshop at an institute in PUNE on
creative writing for print and web. Do visit my website
www.sakshisingh.com to learn more about what I do. Many of my online
writing workshop students are house wives from all over India who want
to enhance their writing skills and a make a career and extra income
as they manage their home and family; and some of them also ask if its
a certified course that i offer and i tell them that no certificate
can guarantee you anything. I havent done a single course in writing
or mass communication and am far more successful than any of my class
mates who did (all due respect to their profession) all am trying to
say is that writing is something that you can do from anywhere anytime
and if you have the inclination towards it, simply work towards
enhancing your skills and keep the faith and dont give up. My course
offers experience on professional assignments and those tips and
learning resources that arent offered in professional schools and very
much needed if you want to write for a global audience.
I recommend every woman to have the faith, dont give up and pursue her
choice of career no matter what they say. If I gave up and believed
the people who told me that i couldnt become a successful freelancer
after a year or two of experience in writing, i wouldnt be where iam
today. In a year, I am ready to release two of my books and I know
anyone, really anyone can do what I do, just a little confidence in
oneself and the ability to break out of the mould without fear. My job
gives me more financial stability, more flexibility and more creative
satisfaction than any other full time job would have.
So, if there is a home business you want to pursue, get the right
guidance and let nothing, absolutely nothing deter you from doing it !
Believe in the power of your dreams, for if they didnt have the power
to come true, nature wouldnt let us dream in the first place
