This article was written and sold by InspiredWritingResearch in response to a project commission by InRepose.com.

I assisted the client with her brief which was to provide high quality content, in a sympathetic and respectful style, relating to obituaries (such as those of celebrities) in the news.

After checking out her website, I was satisfied that she had created an elegant and helpful online memorial resource with which InspiredWritingResearch could happily associate itself.

The article was sold for $20 (use rights.)

I have since written another article for In Repose relating to the poem 'Gray's Elegy written in a Country Churchyard.'

I hope to produce more high quality content for them again soon - as soon as this website is finished!

Tips for new freelance writers

1. Join a lively, thriving writing community such as Helium.com or Amazon.

2. Do not pay to join complicated sites who make big promises - there is no need.

3. Practise your writing craft every day by using your everyday, local experiences and turning them into articles.

4. Do not be shy of posting these straight onto these good quality writing sites. Use the feedback forums and rating system to constantly modify and improve your reviews.

5. As your articles improve, and rise through the ratings, keep an eye on markets such as Helium Marketplace to see what is required.

6. Try submitting your best on-topic articles! If you write confidently, informatively and cheerfully about topics you know best - you will eventually sell one!
