Article Writing - a Big Help to Filipinos
Many unemployed Filipinos, nowadays, hope to get jobs online instead. As jobs are getting scarce in the field and pay is getting low, people tend to find it easier to look for jobs online. One of the most famous jobs Filipinos apply to online is being an Article Writer.
Article writing may sound easy for Filipinos. We always think that writing articles is just like writing anything under the sun. But in reality, it is actually very brutal. Once you've experienced it, especially in the internet marketing world, everything seems to be very different. You'll get a feeling that your skills are nothing to them - the so-called writing gurus in the online world.
Obviously, I may have a terrible experience in writing articles for clients online. But this does not stop me from doing it. I believe I can be like them or at least be able to please them the next time around. Many others like me applied for a writing job and the competition is getting tough. But I'm so happy. Writing articles give Filipinos, including me, the chance to improve and learn more about writing, specifically writing articles for the web.
Writing articles helps a lot of Filipinos land on a job from the different outsourcing companies and on online workplaces like Elance, Odesk, Peopleperhour, etc. Outsourcing writers for web content or article writing seems to be very favourable for some companies if they want to reduce cost from labor. Cost of living is fairly low especially in the cities far from the capital. The average salary can be just around $170/month.
Aside from the low rate, Filipinos can write in English. Though not the kind of English English people do, Filipinos are highly trainable and responsible. This gives Filipinos an opportunity which most of us just recently realized that we can participate in. Writing articles seems to be the next big thing in the Philippine BPO industry.
