Expanding My Horizons

While I am infinitely happy with my position with MobileBurn, and I whole heartedly believe that online/digital media is the way of the future, I have been thinking lately of branching out and attempting to secure some freelance print media work. I will be relocating to the US in about a year’s time to deepen my involvement with MB, but in the interim, I wouldn’t mind getting more experience in print as well. Supplementing my income a little would also be great.

Freelancing is something that appears quite daunting to me. It seems that it takes a lot of time and effort to break into the scene, and even when you do get contacts, it is a very competitive market. If I do go ahead with it, I will try to document my experiences networking and writing here, as both an outlet and in the hope that others might get some benefit out of it. I wonder whether having work published online holds much esteem with print editors; I believe I am a good writer, and my work on MobileBurn should be proof of this. Time will tell, I suppose.
