About.com Freelance Writing – any idea what it’s all about?
Monday, February 15, 2010 22:54Have you checked out this month's Interview With A Blogger or Featured Blog? The interview is with Tamahome Jenkins, blogger and writer and the Featured Blog is Directory Journal’s Internet Marketing, Social Media and SEO Blog.
Dubious headlines are becoming synonymous with this blog.
As a writer, I follow several different writing blogs on a regular basis. In the past I’ve reviewed All Freelance Writing and Freelance Writing Jobs and this review is the first of several reviews based around writing blogs this week.
If you have been online for at least a few weeks, it is highly likely that you will have come across About.com – a website that, to a certain extent, has information and resources on (or ‘about’) everything.
Within this popular website is one of my favourite freelance writing blogs, named simply About.com Freelance Writing.
Run by Allena Tapia, this section of About.com is one of the more popular writing blogs online and many members of the online writing community can be regularly seen commenting and participating often in discussions.
For those of you who are into writing, or thinking about beginning to write on a freelance basis, About.com Freelance Writing is highly recommended as aside from the fantastic community aspect, Allena is particularly open with her information and I’m yet to come across a question that she has shrugged off – something which can be particularly useful for beginner writers.
About.com Freelance Writing is a great blog for every writer, with information and resources suited to writers of all abilites. Plus, with Allena’s in-depth knowledge of freelance writing on various different topics and in a range of different styles, by following the blog you’ll be well on your way to becoming an accomplished and knowledgeable freelance writer.

I’ll work on the headlines. I mean, it’s not a secret that About.com pays me based on page views- I’m not telling any trade secrets in admitting that. I realize there’s a LOT of noise in the freelance writing online world. A LOT. And I realize that because, well, I’m subscribed to just about every newsletter and blog there is on the subject. So of course, I want to stick out. I want readers to read me. Here’s why: I am sharing this journey AS I GO. I share EVERYTHING. I feel I’m a good resource because I’m in the ditches, shoveling my way along! But, duly noted! Thanks for the review.
