I don't believe for a second that AI will completely replace humans as there will always be a need for humans to change something that AI has created.

I have used both Photoshop and Canva in the past and will admit that I have found Canva to be the one I have preferred working with the most. I love how many features Canva offers not only for their free version but their premium version too and with Canva, it is an affordable monthly fee for premium making it ideal.

As much as I do have blogs that I am consistently adding to, at the moment I wouldn't say they are a huge success. From those I know of who have successful blogs, they have found that focusing on niche topics that interest them has been successful for them and I can see how that works.

Being a writer is something everyone can attempt but not everyone can be successful in doing so. I often hear people say, "Writing must be an easy way to earn money, " which is far from the truth. You need to have a passion for writing and enjoy what you do, burnout can be a very real thing and can hit when you least expect it.

These are some great tips. I know myself as a freelancer and someone who creates content consistently, it can be so easy to get confused and lose track of things and having a consistent posting schedule can help a great deal not only to stay on track but for less stress as well.

One of the challenges I seem to come across a lot when it comes to content creation is writer's block. Writer's block hits when you least expect it and it doesn't care when it hits and could leave you in a huge mess, especially if you are on a schedule.

Writer's block is never any fun, I have hit it so many times and it can be difficult to get out of. I have always found that taking a break from writing and heading out or doing something different can help with writer's block. I have in the past headed out for a walk when I have had writer's block and found that just being out and about walking has given me so many ideas to write about.

At school, I was always good when it came to writing and grammar, would always get praised by teachers for my writing. Over the years everything I learned stuck with me but then using tools such as Grammarly and also writing regularly, I found my writing got better over time.

I have quite a few niches I like to write about, they are gaming, lifestyle, and entertainment such as WWE and other wrestling brands and I also enjoy writing about webmaster related topics too.

I have been posting on blogs now for around 3 years but have been posting on a blog that I have now for around 4 years this year. I do enjoy blogging but find I spend more time posting on forums and writing articles at the moment.

Something I have gotten myself into the habit of doing is always researching the topic I will be writing about before I start writing. I find if I research the topic first, I can provide more detail that is right in a quicker time than I would if I researched whilst writing. When you write, do you prefer to research first or during?

As of yet, I have not used AI for SEO purposes but I was aware that you could use AI to help with SEO on your websites and within your content. I am going to look into AI when I get some time to see just how much it can help me with SEO.

It depends on the kind of site or business your are wanting to start and whether or not vanity domains would be worthwhile and a good investment. I always tend to make sure anyone considering a vanity domain understands that it will cost a considerable amount a year later so that they are aware and can make a decision based on that.

These used to be popular years ago, I always remember using them when I started out and back then, they used to give results. Nowadays I am not so sure they would give the same results as they used to which is a shame. I tend to focus on SEO and building up backlinks and that seems to work well for me.

My favourite way to build backlinks has been through signature advertising and sharing links to certain content on social media such as X and even Facebook. I would say that if you regularly post on forums, signature advertising works well.

I know what you mean :) life has become so much more hectic over the last few years, even if I did want to game for that long, it wouldn't be something I could do now. I cherish the time I do get now.

Quizzes and polls have always been the best way that I have used to receive feedback and also gain interest which has helped to boost engagement. Surveys are not something I have tried so I am unsure how they would work out for me but I much prefer to use polls and quizzes as I feel they are easier.

I have always enjoyed using Microsoft Word when it comes to drafting and proofreading my own writing work. I find it to be easy to use and it has a built-in grammar tool that is similar to Grammarly as well that helps me get things right, after all, even the most professional of writers can get some things wrong sometimes. When you draft your writing, what program do you use? What is your reason for choosing this specific program?

Writing is a great way to make money and you could even potentially earn a living from writing if you stick at it and get clients who choose to stick with you for their work. Of course, being able to make money from writing, you will need to advertise and market your work in the first place to gain clients who could potentially come back for more work. Do you use social media to market your writing work? How successful have you found social media marketing to be for you as a writer?

As a writer, I have always used Grammarly to help me with my writing as there are always times when you may need that piece of mind to be sure your writing makes sense and is professionally looking when it comes to grammar. If you are a writer, have you used any tools? What tools have you used and how have they helped in your writing?

Something I have looked into in the past but has not been something I have jumped at is creating my own web apps. Many people who know tend to do this and have been able to make some amazing apps. Do you have experience in creating web apps? If you do, what apps have you developed and what was their purpose for?

I started out using basic HTML back on Geocities when that was around. I used to make fan websites for bands and singers that I was a fan of. CSS was something I learned a little later when I got into forums.

As someone who has been freelancing since 2012 and has been freelancing full-time for around 21 months now, I have started giving recurring clients discounts and I have found that has helped greatly with keeping consistent work with the same clients which has helped me earn an income that I can live on. As a freelancer yourself, do you tend to offer recurring client discounts? How have you found that has worked out for you?

As a freelancer, I have found that the amount of work I receive I can cope with myself so hiring other freelancers to help with clients and their orders is not something I have considered. If there were a time that more work started coming in and it was too much for me, hiring freelancers to help with the work load would be something I would seriously consider. Would you consider hiring freelancers for your business if the workload became too much?

When it comes to running any kind of website, in most cases you may need staff members who help out with the day-to-day running of the site. When hiring staff and looking to keep things running, it is easy to hire too many meaning that not every staff member has work they can complete leaving them on the sidelines, failing that, too many staff members can also feel like overkill too. When running a website, how many staff members would you say is too many?
