My research point to just about one thing: To be successful, all it takes is a little imagination, knowledge of what the market needs, a lot of hard work and discipline. I know there is something for me out there. I just haven't figured it out yet. My mother says I'm good at writing - bless her kind heart. I just might start from there.
SEO is a word I'm gradually understanding, and its relevance to a search engine. I don't know a lot yet, but little is better than none at all, especially if I intend to survive the cutthroat online competition nowadays.
I also learned that as in any marketplace, there is a multitude of annoying people online - annoying in the sense that they resort to unkind words to express their distaste. And some others, they use you for their personal gain. Well, as they say, you can't have it all.
People exist for a reason - even those disgruntled ones. At the very least, they teach me to appreciate that sometimes, being silent about things is not a sign of cowardice but bravery to the highest level.

It's awesome that you're liking freelancing as much as you do. I fell in love with it as well when I started and I love learning new stuff so it was a plus for me that there was a learning curve haha.
I never really liked the corporate setup to be honest haha and I hated the fact that work started so early in the morning ;).
So Freelance writing for me was a great way to earn money and still be able to stick to the schedule that I liked.
And SEO is a bit tricky to get in the beggining but once you learn the basics of it and start getting into the more complex things, it's really just about keyword research and providing quality content. At least that's my take on it.
Those two alone can get you to the top 10 of google. The rest of the stuff like backlinking and social media are just extras you can do to maximize the potential of a page.
Malds, thanks for visiting, and thanks for the awesome pointers, too. Took me a while to get back to your comment because I've gotten too busy lately. Same here, I'm still learning a lot.
