My first steps in frilans

October 13, 2008

When I came to jurfak, I obviously looked at the journalist profession through pink glasses. Already in the middle of the first course, I realized that all my romantic exaltation on the specialty chosen had nothing to do with reality. Indeed, it seemed to me that a journalist is the man with the head of Friends, constantly going back to interesting places, which may even send in the "hot spot" of the planet, where he will be able to find the rare courage and even death to "live» office. All of this, of course, takes place in the work of journalists. But far from all. Most of the workers pen and microphone »and prosierve life in zanuhanna gazetenke or on the local radio, describing the event sometimes life or up interviews with all employees, the local factory crafts.

It is a sad, but I still five years went with a strong sense of I after graduating from the Institute certainly no foot in journalism. Another added strength to my already not sweet keg of honey (by the way, honey, I hate), our teachers. It is not that they were bad people. On the contrary, many of them genuinely loved his job and very trying to convey to our balbesov-stoudentov at Me their extensive knowledge. But the problem is that most of this knowledge hopelessly outdated. We are very actively studying the history of ancient and medieval literature, especially the press beginning of the 20th century and the period of the Second World. We remember by heart the date of the first radio and the name of the first voice on television. A theory genres journalism, we have to understand some famous reporters and correspondents ... Soviet years. But of modern journalism, although it is literally praying our curious eyes, we have not heard virtually nothing. But the important type of media such as the Internet, has been at all hidden by the invisible hand, especially given the turmoil of space »speed of the Internet on our faculty. But the lack of theory is yet polbeda. Indeed, a good journalist can be only after several years in the media and has been called the "nabiv hand. Already a flair to the news started useful contacts, a facility to provide thoughts. In short, the bedrock of our profession is Her Majesty practice. It is so important that the writing is not only with a capital letter. Just at the University at all. So to compensate for its lack of obivaniem thresholds in different media, such requests "and type my article, it is very good, even with little bugs written, and long waiting fees which have not always, and often at the wrong time.

In general, napickannaya flat popular literature of all times and peoples, as well as expertise in the areas of science, economy, and even power, I am turning dopolzla completion of the fifth. During the years of study tested the freelance author in the Belarusian Radio and Television, wrote to various newspapers and magazines. But, unfortunately, Minsk is not so great city to provide journalists with unlimited possibilities. Moreover, these journalists from year to year has hundreds of stampuut "and the main structure, and several commercial institutions. Where do they all go? DISTRIBUTION poor students in the district and regional editions. And then some options : either to escape at the earliest opportunity, or the final rallies ", the loss of any creative fuse. For diversity can be, so to speak, to assimilate with the people of the town, find the "half" of the environment, and quietly drink samogonocku local bottling weekends. But what more do free opostylermer time? Me, by the way, the allocation is not just sent to the county tele-ele-videnie. Fortunately, the application has saved my person from one business magazine, where I remained Morgan editor, as well as my "special tribute" before the Ministry of Information in the form of higher average score (9.57 out of 10 possible).

By the end of study, approximately half of our girls povskakiwala married and gave birth to children, and the job ahead is clear : they become full housewives and mamashami. Such independent and energetic ladies like me and my girlfriends to seek a place in the sun. I half promayalaci in their chudo-journalah, inspired particularly describing the food industry Belarus. Try to work with each other in the studio (even has a few customers online and kalendariki). Vlapatsa managed even in a network marketing, the truth, without fanaticism, more out of curiosity. But it was all something different. Gradually, I lost all interest in life in general, like the zaleci to the bottom ", the popisawati quietly stateiki for its magazine and require life more than pay 150 cu But the eyes of my cats and strong sun in the morning always impressed me that how to live it. What should I try and do certain things. And certainly nothing alive bury their bed in 22 and a half years.

Salvation came in the person of a new friend, with whom I met on the site dating on the Internet. He is a very enterprising person, trying to find opportunities wherever you can. The first step, he brought me printed the first chapter of the book wonderful guy becomes Hamidullina «Фрилансер-киберпроф��ссия future. " As you know, it was free. This article was not meant to me uncovered eye, but made a good think about putting my life. And I decided : try, and whether there will be that. Indeed, the remote good work. You write an article for anyone to the best of their abilities and skills. And even if it does not like the editor, you can offer it to someone else or giving it. In any case, you are a master. You are not limited timetable should not honestly look at the eyes of evil editor on the day before publication layouts and explained : "You know, I negotiated three times, and each time he did not come to the interview ». Remote work is when you sit gulyaeshy till night, and then sleep until lunch. Indeed, your employer is liver, I write to you as the evening or at dawn.

After three long days, when I bezwalazno sharilaci world-wide in the search for projects vacancies, forums, materials, etc. I ponahodila huge pile of all publications of any format. A number of you have a summary of all is incalculable.

As a result, now, I already have a small number of clients for whom I quietly popisawau their masterpieces. Of course, this does not limit their dreams. Now I am going to push the »English. Yes, I have already gone to foreign magazines. However, I professional anyway! The most important thing I realized : all of this is real. The only start and then move, never give up. In any case success is not immediately and competitive bids can be quite unexpected. It has been said that water and stone ruin. In frilansa such tactics is true : persevered and propose, write, sell their skills.

What is most interesting : I will love their profession. Now, I know for sure that journalism is different. I still do not like the news, in my opinion, is too sumatoshno. I like to write creative thoughtful analyses, which are not tied to a specific date or event. This is where I feel at home. Well, and money is a pleasure. And for what still work?
