The Writing Base

The Writing Base offers rock solid tips for freelancing success. The blog’s focus is on writing, freelancing and social media with a bit of work-at-home productivity thrown in among other related topics.

If you’re a freelance writer trying to make a success out of your freelance business by landing more clients, sign up for my newsletter to get the ’10 Step Guide to Turning Prospects into Clients’ and fast track your business to more clients and more money. The newsletter will also have interviews with successful freelancers, special offers and other freelance related content that will help you take your freelance writing business to the next level.

Don’t worry, I don’t spam and I don’t sell out emails so yours is completely safe with me.

Alternately, you can also subscribe to this blog to receive free updates whenever there’s a new post.

Posting Schedule: The Base is updated every Monday and Thursday. Monday is the original blog post day and Thursdays are reserved for reviews, link love and anything else that doesn’t fit into Monday.

All reviews will be of products I’ve bought or received, used and am an affiliate for. More importantly, they’ll be products I believe in and stand behind.

Who Is Samar And Why do I Care?

Hello!

Samar is a Dubai based freelance writer, blogger and social media enthusiast. She started freelancing in late 2008 and hasn’t looked back since.

All right, enough with the third person.

Here’s what you need to know about me: I’m the voice behind this blog, the writer behind each post and the one responsible for all the awesomeness (and goof-ups) around here.

I’m also 24, live in UAE, and have a 10-month-old daughter who plays under my desk while I work.

After moving to UAE in February 2008, I started freelancing. Not because I needed the money or had no other choice but because I love writing and being paid for doing something I love. I’m also extremely good at my job.

If you want to outsource your blogging, get web copy written or have the social media end of things handled then I’m your girl!

Once I dived into freelancing I built samples writing for content mills, moved on to low paying clients and slowly climbed my way up.

Feel free to check out my website and portfolio.

You can contact me through the contact page, twitter or my personal email. I reply back within 24 hours. Sooner if it’s a tweet. (You can also tweet me to let me know you’ve emailed me.)
