Let's start: 👇

1. Hello Minuca, How are you? 👋

Hi. I am good. Thanks for inviting me on your blog!

2. What type of business you do online for a living?

I am a freelance writer specializing in creating expert roundups. My posts provide quality content, bring huge traffic and get backlinks. I also help bloggers connect with influencers.

3. How you've started your online work?

My first contact with internet marketing was in 2015 when I started working as a VA (virtual assistant) for another blogger. In this period I did different tasks, like research, social media promotion, WordPress editing, and stuff like that. After a year, the collaboration ended so I decided to start my own site and become a freelance writer.

4. What difficulties you've faced in beginning?

My biggest problem was a total lack of trust in my skills. I thought that nobody was going to hire me because I didn’t have a reputation and I didn’t have a portfolio to show. I was determined to succeed and I work very hard for that. The results appeared soon.

5. How you earn money doing Experts Roundups?

I earn money just like other writers do. The only difference is that I focus on expert roundups.

6. Is there a way for others to make money using or doing experts roundups?

A roundup is a very time-consuming type of content. It takes me at least a month to do one, in some cases even 2-3 months. It requires a lot of patience to accept all the rejections, perseverance and networking. It’s not an appropriate idea for people that want to earn money fast.

7. What type of online business or work would you suggest to a newbie?

I think the best type of work for a newbie is being a VA. You get to learn new things while earning an income. Just be careful to actually get paid for your work and not work for somebody that will take advantage of you.

Later when you will have the experience you can start working for yourself. There are lots of different options for earning money online. You can start an Amazon affiliate site, or monetize your site with Adsense, or sell your own products (courses, webinars, and e-books).


It’s important to decide if you want to be a service provider (and chase new clients all the time) or building a business that will bring you a passive income. With the second option, you will have a slow start and you will need to struggle a lot but you can become completely independent, and you can not achieve that with freelancing.

8. Is there any of your big mistake in online career?

I don’t think I did any big mistakes in my online career. The only frustration that, the entire time when I was a VA and later when I started on my own, I used to charge very low prices. I worked so much and still didn’t have enough money. Unfortunately, it’s a necessary step. If you demand high prices as a newbie you will have a very hard time finding customers for your services.

9. What tools do you use to reach out to related influencers and workers?

I don’t use any fancy tools or software. Just email and social media.

10. How you get people agreed to write for your expert roundups?

I just contact a lot of bloggers and I don’t stop until I receive enough answer. Right now I am working on a roundup for which I sent 200 emails and only got 19 answers so far. The response rate is different depending on the niche.

11. Is there any person who has helped you or you got any online course?

Yes, I did 3 months course with Sue Dunlevie from Successful Blogging. I also followed a couple of Zac Johnson’s video courses on Udemy.

12. What is your SEO tip for newbies?

Focus on link building. Remember that any time you get a backlink you also get traffic to your site and exposure for you as a blogger and for your business. Never turn down any invitation to roundups, interviews, podcasts even Facebook like. Although Facebook live session obviously won’t bring you a backlink, it will still give you visibility in front of a new audience.

13. How you manage your time and do you work on schedules?

I’m horrible at time management, unfortunately. I often work on the weekends and until very late at night. If I take a few days off, I feel that everything is falling apart. You need to be prepared for a lot of insecurities as a freelancer and that’s why you can’t afford to slack off at work.

As an employee you can go home after 8 hours of work even if you haven’t finished your tasks for today, you can do them tomorrow and you won’t get fired for that. As a freelancer you need to respect certain deadlines otherwise your clients can ask you for a refund or never contact you again for another project. So even if you worked for 8 hours, if you haven’t finished your tasks, then you need to continue working.

14. A tip or suggestion for AllBlogThings.com's readers:

Start by offering services to others, learn from your customers, improve your skills and later become truly free by working only for yourself.

Thanks
