Hi there, First of all let me start by saying the blunt truth, writing is not for everyone. Have you ever seen this habit whereby when someone starts a butchery business in a neighborhood and it does well, several other butcheries will come up in the next few months? Am sure you have. These other butcheries sprung out of assumption, no market research was done. The assumption that many people have is that if there is someone making it in online writing then they too can. Copywriting is not copying/ PHOTO/http://justjasonjames.com/assets/copywriting-skills-tips-techniques.jpg Most people think writing is just typing what they read or copy pasting. Being an online writer is about being smart and creative. We take someone else’s idea , read it and then write it in our own words. We research different sources and put them together using the best creativity and grammar skills. I have seen several people succeeding in Upwork while I have been sub contracted there. I have...

 Disclaimer: This article is originally mine, I wrote it as a sample test for one Michael Hazard on UPWORK, turns out he asked many other writers for different topics and now he is unavailable.

A VA working, PHOTO/PSvirtual.com I am writing this article due to a friend who asked me for tips. So I thought why not share with everybody else? A virtual assistant commonly known as a VA provides all assistant services in an office but in this case they do it online. There is no huge difference between a secretary or personal assistant and a virtual assistant. The only difference is that the VA works in the virtual space while the rest do so in a physical space. Virtual assistants are limitless when it comes to the jobs they can do. No they cannot get you your morning coffee but they sure will let you go for an  early lunch since they will write, design, research, edit, transcribe, manage projects and even manage your social media page. All you need to do is just ask. How to become a VA If you are a beginner then you cannot start a website. All you need is experience. A VA must know a little bit of everything. Join an online workers forum or Faceboo...

Avocadoes are sweet. This kind of sweetness can only be enjoyed if the fruit is well ripened. Finding the perfect avocado can be hard but it is not impossible to make a perfect one for yourself by making it ripen well. How to Ripen Avocados Quickly: Place 2-3 avocados in a brown paper bag and store at room temperature. If you don't have paper bags on hand, wrapping them in newspaper will also do. This will accelerate the natural ripening process. For even quicker ripening, add an apple, banana or a tomato to the bag. Check daily to see if avocados are ripe yet. Don't just judge by their color, as some varieties will retain their green color, even when ripe, rather than turning a deep greenish brown. Sourced from: http://vegetarian.about.com/od/cookingtipstools/qt/ripenavocados.htm Cooking is an art and therefore you need to ensure that your working space in the kitchen is not a mess. You should also ensure that you observe good hygiene in the kitchen....

Gone are the days when children would be allowed to eat whatever they craved for and it would be alright. Childhood obesity is becoming a serious health problem as the society is now having overweight children who are growing into obese adults. A new report that studied kids throughout childhood found that those who are obese at five years old are more likely to be heavy later in life. While other studies have hinted at that trend, those have generally involved what’s known as prevalence of the condition — or the proportion of a population, at a given time, that is considered obese. Such information doesn’t suggest the risk of developing obesity, which is revealed by studying a population over specific periods of time. So in the latest study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, scientists tracked a group of 7738 children, some of whom were overweight or obese, and some who were normal weight, from 1998 (when they were in kindergarten) to 2007 (when they were in ninth...

Currently there are a lot of people who have and are being arrested for sharing things on social media and when they are arrested the first excuse they give is that the message did not originate from them.
