Is it possible? Yes.
Will it be easy? No.

You do have the "potential" to make a living as a travel writer, especially since you can travel for cheap, but as with everything else in life, you will have to work for it. Yes there is a lot of competition, but if you truly are talented the you should be able to rise to the top.

If you want to succeed as a travel writing then you will need to focus more on the traveling and the writing instead of the competition.

People who post projects for freelancers to bid on.

I’m curious what who posts on such sites? Is it the entrepreneur who’s starting a small business? A business owner who has work who doesn’t want to hire an extra employee? A employee paying someone else to do the job for them? Someone else I cannot think of???

What I would like to know is who uses these freelance sites to post projects and why / what are their reasons for doing so.

Thanks!!!

You may check out http://free-lance.am/. Though it is a new project, but I’ve cooperated with them. It’s very reliable.

It depends. Hourly works well if your client has a big budget and you’re going to get paid for stuff like research and non-writing time. But I tend to prefer a per-project rate so both parties know what they’re getting into and there are no nasty surprises. If it’s a small project, do a flat rate. You’ll be annoyed if you end up charging an hour and a half for something that actually requires more than that for negotiating, billing, etc.

Re: revision and expectations, again it depends on the project. But discuss this with your client ahead of time. Get on the same page.

The beauty of being (more or less) your own boss is that you get to set your price, your expectations, etc. based on your level of comfort. Just don’t set your rate too low to start because people hate rate raises. You probably don’t want to do this for less than $40 an hour unless it’s a large project that will really beef up your resume. I know it sounds like a lot, but you don’t get paid for a lot of extraneous time you will definitely spend.

Finally, don’t forget to set aside your tax money right away. You’ll be screwed if you try to come up with it at the end of the year.

Some are from my private collection, others were taken by
Sir Wilfred Thesiger, a distinguished explorer and travel writer. Some of Thesigers photographs appeared in his famous books of travel writing, Arabian Sands (1959) and The Marsh Arabs (1964), and more recently through books dedicated to his photography alone, such as Visions of a Nomad (1987)
Munir bashir was born in Mosul (Iraq) in 1930 into a long established family of musicians. He began to learn the oud at the age of five, along with the cello. He studied oud in Baghdad under the great masters and then moved to Hungary, where he gained his doctorate. He is regarded as the greatest oud player of all time and a master of Iraqi maqamat. Munir Bashir died in 1997.
You can also hear Munir Bashir on the “Rare Recordings” page at www.mikeouds.com

3 $0.67 5-7 Days—-$40 per audio hour

FilTranscriptionists Transcription and Proofreading Process:

We follow a completely manual transcription process. We process each order in three stages:

* In the first stage, our transcribers then transcribe whatever is possible as per our guidelines and submit what is called the raw transcript. Parts which are inaudible or incomprehensible are marked with blanks.

* The second stage is a review process where our reviewers go through the raw transcript and correct it. Timestamps and speaker initials are also added at this stage. The remaining blanks are timestamped. *The third stage is the final proofreading stage.

We have developed our own in house system to manage this whole process. There are various benefits of this process.

* We ensure that there are at least two different people working on each file, one transcriber and reviewer thus ensuring a higher quality of transcription.

* We are consistent because we publish a comprehensive set of guidelines for our transcribers and reviewers.

Our transcribers and reviewers are highly experienced and trained. We also provide a free re-review if the transcript quality is not satisfactory.

In case we detect a very poor audio quality file, we refund the complete amount for the order.

CNN International hosts a panel discussion on the role of mobile technology in newsgathering, journalism and the consumption of news, at the Frontline Club in London on 22nd July 2010. Panellists include Louis Gump (CNN), Ben Hammersley (Wired UK), Alex Wood (Freelance Mobile Journalist), Andy Dickinson (University of Central Lancashire) and Jonathan Hewett (City University)

Mobile phones are changing the way we learn about and experience news. Citizen journalists and ordinary people are, increasingly, beating news crews to the scene of breaking news stories – the first accounts, often including photographs and video footage, of many of the defining news stories of our times have been captured and shared by ordinary people using mobile phones. Mobile technology is also becoming an essential part of the professional journalist’s tool-kit, allowing stories to be told with greater immediacy than ever before. Mobiles are also changing the way we consume news, allowing people on the move to keep abreast of the stories important to them.
