CONTENT WRITERS ARE STORYTELLERS.

The key to a successful writing career, especially in today's digital marketing arena, is to undergo a series of hardcore training to hone your existing English writing skill and take it to the next level.

In content marketing, you are responsible for humanizing the company's goals and transforming them into mind-blowing stories that capture people's attention.

THE FRONTIERS IN DIGITAL MARKETING

The content writers are the persons-in-charge of the website content, from the homepage to the individual web pages, such as the blog posts, articles, pages, and other sections where they require content writing skills needed to implement the content sequence, based on the editorial calendar.

The content writers are frontiers in the digital marketing industry wherein they form a thin line between the company and the average person's goals.

They spend hours or even a day writing stories that allow a piece of content that guarantees the best results agreeable for both parties, such as increased online visibility across social media, search engines, and linkbuilding exercises.

THE BIG GAP

BETWEEN THE NNS & NS WRITERS

Become an ASSET.

Historically, the discreet rift between the nonnative speakers (NNS) and native speakers (NS) remains existent, yet, undiscussed, as if nobody cares and finds this issue concerning in the writing community.

More often than not, the beginner and naive NNS writers apply for any writing job available on the job listing without realizing their upcoming and inevitable dire working situation.

Common

Exploitation of NNS Writers: An Untold Story

When you opt to work with small-scale digital marketing agencies, chances are, you might end up exploited, overworked, undervalued, and underpaid. It is why most successful freelance writers I know avoid this kind of scenario in their writing careers.

Unfortunately, you may not manage to escape from this event, which eventually leads to financial and physical jeopardy, based on what I said earlier. Most NNS writers, seasoned or beginner, share similar stories, including me.

Turn your writing skill into A HIGH-INCOME SKILLSET.

THE BIG GAP

BETWEEN THE NNS & NS WRITERS

Believe me or not, some NNS writers barely earn a dollar per word for their write-ups, from $0.01 PPW to $0.11 PPW.

Consequently, they agree on a per-project payment basis, and clients only pay one-time and wait until you finish it on the scheduled deadline.

ACCORDING TO A PAYSCALE STUDY

On average,

30% of beginner freelance writers ask $0.01 PPW (Pay-Per-Word).

Beginner - 0 to 3 years of working experience

60% of expert freelance writers ask above $1 PPW.

Expert - 15+ years of working experience

An average expert NNS writer barely earns $0.10 PPW.

If an NNS writer demands a higher PPW rate, most HR or solopreneurs prefer hiring beginner native speakers for the same price.

When you don't set a specific price you ask per word, it would be challenging for you and your clients.

Other writers ask $0.26 PPW to as much as $1 PPW and above. Depending on how much you ask from them per word, calculating your income from acquired and completed projects will be a lot easier and faster.

MY SITUATION ISN'T UNIQUE TO EVERY NNS.

"NATIVE SPEAKERS ONLY" MAKE MONEY AS A WRITER

WE ONLY ACCEPT WRITERS FROM ENGLISH-SPEAKING COUNTRIES.

It may sound unbelievable, but job listings like this are common on content mill providers, such as Upwork and Onlinejobs.ph (for Filipino freelancers).

I did an investigation of what I saw on one LinkedIn post, and here's what I found out.

It's a screenshot of an actual job offer.

As you can see, any NNS writer would feel intimidated when they see the underlined requirement for eligibility. The sad thing is, there are many of them out there.

I clicked on the link, and it directed me to this company, LeadSpring, LLC, an Affiliate SEO Agency, owned by Matt Diggitty, the CEO and founder of Diggity Marketing LLC, based in Thailand.

"NATIVE SPEAKERS ONLY"

A discreet issue of exclusivity in the freelance writing community

Based on the information they provided on their website, they partner with small-scale businesses and help them grow with more than 100% ROI through SEO.

Surprisingly, the company raised the bars for the recruitment process. Not only do they imply exclusivity, but they also want to make sure they got the best candidate to work with them.

In this case, they want to work with a native speaker with excellent written English skills That's crystal clear

With all these said, there is no other way for the NNS writers to join the competition even if they are confident with their writing skills.

Can you imagine how much they have been missing because of it?

What Should The NNS Writers Do To Increase Their Success Rates?

To succeed in content writing as a nonnative speaker and even without previous working experience, the writer's overall understanding of his or her value plays an enormous role in building and increasing trust factor and appeal.

It may seem impossible for you to deliver great content at the same level as the native speakers could do or even better It only takes simple but smart ways to achieve this goal and attract

high-paying writing opportunities using my recommended strategies.

Everything is possible for the NNS writers like you, even if English isn't your mother tongue. The possibilities are endless despite the countless setbacks you have.

Your drive to continuously work harder than anybody else to write content that sounds native-level is already admirable

ARE THERE ANY

ALTERNATIVES?

Become an ASSET.

But it is hard to reassure yourself through the methods we believe will work. The fact is, there are no existing regulations to penalize recruiters who exclude the NNS writers.

The content mill providers remain unable to provide safer job search environments from shady companies and individuals with ill-intent. They may implement systems to ensure and validate their legitimacy.

Proposed solutions:

Build an impressive writer portfolio.

Spend 10,000 hours for writing practice

Develop a winning mindset and increase self-awareness.

But there is another way.

It is best to find better alternatives without having you compromise your desire to explore your craft and the ability to provide income from doing what you love.

Wouldn't that be amazing?

In this section, you will see my recommended solutions to start building your unique route planned for ambitious writers like you. They are flexible enough to apply in different niches and industries you are working with today.
