Recession is pushing it's heat over every sector. We as a content creators are feeling the heat too. A lot of us who depends on the Hive, Steem, noise.cash type of the websites for side hustle income. I remember the approach many content writers take to handle the economic recession and they learn this through their freelance or side hustle experience, where the regular work is not an easy thing to sustain over a long period.

So what are some of the things one can do to build a future safety net during the economic downturn.

Writing Content Everyday

If you are a content writer and trying your hands on the various type of the gigs out there. You may notice that you would have to flex your skills for different niche. And that is only possible when you write everyday and learn to express your opinion. A lot of your opinion is going to get some downvotes or straight forward negative rep. You can't change that but you can think of your own content.

I often write the drafts for readcash in advance. This is so that I get to have some content when I can't think about things anymore. Often this writing burnout can get me and so writing in advance helps a lot. You should try writing everyday or write things in advance. That seems to be the only way you can handle the writing burnout.

Diversify Platforms

You love one specific platform? Good for you. But if you are into the world of personal finance and financial writing, you'd benefit from diversification. How? You get to switch platforms when one does not remain active or no longer paying. So you get to choose from options. Also you can easily switch your readers from one platform to another through interlinking of your content.

I am on Publish0x, noisecash and hive too. It helps me diversify topics and also I get to write clearly on one topic in one place. Which is another reason you should diversify. And you may have now realized why putting all the eggs in one basket can be wrong for you. Especially in crypto space being on multiple platforms and getting rewarded is beneficial long term.

Potential Content Writing Portfolio

I don't write anything serious or in depth on Publish0x. But I do that for the paid clients. So if I choose to write in depth and choose to use that as a part of my portfolio? Yes that would be a good move. Because when you are applying for the content writing jobs, it helps the recruiter when you can link to your past content snippets.

Building niche portfolio is also possible with the content writing jobs. And with each platform tied for the specific content you get to put the references for your content writing samples in the job applications too. Recession time is good for all of these activities because a lot of us have less work or no work during this phase. And if you choose to build your portfolio of samples, later you can have enough to apply for.

I am just getting started with content writing in crypto space. By no means I am perfect yet. I have to learn to get grasp over small things like presenting my case and putting out a conclusion for the various crypto specific topics. I may learn to do that with practice over the years.

How is your content writing going on during the economic recession?
