About Marsha Maung
I am a freelance writer, graphic designer, mother and the occassional singer who has been doing my thing for the past 8 years (and counting). I live in Selangor, Malaysia and have 2 beautiful kids, Joshua (7) and Jared (5).
FREELANCE WRITER FOR HIRE
Freelance Writing came naturally to me. I write a lot of blog content (duh!), web promotion content, search engine articles, and a lot of online marketing articles. My focus as a freelance writer is on helping you promote your site to search engines via my keyword-rich articles. As a freelance writer of eight years and counting, I relish the fact that the stuff that I write help my clients get better ranking or convert their traffic into sales. Persuasive content writing for the web is actually tough, if you look at it. I've always believed that writing for the web is a lot like yoga. It's a balancing act between pleasing the search engines and pleasing the readers.
"Articles from your freelance writer should be balanced "
The articles written by your freelance writer should be interesting to the readers, enticing them, urging, pulling, persuade them that it's something they could use for their blogs, websites or other online publications and YET, at the same time, the writer needs to write in such a way that the search engines 'think' that the writer's article is GOLD! It's a very hard thing to do as a freelance writer and you'll see this for yourself if you've spent enough time writing for the web as I have.
There's another tough thing to figure out and that is how to KEEP the traffic. I mean, I write tons of stuff for my clients during my 'tenure' as their freelance writer. Some days, they get like ten thousand hits and then one fine day, things fall apart or worse yet....they fall off page 1 ranking in Google! Believe me, to some of my writing clients, this is worse than falling off the face of the earth! Therefore, my job as a freelance writer for them is.....CHALLENGING in a lot of ways! (And you thought working the share market or in the advertising industry is the toughest job in the world, huh?)
"I am not a cheap freelance writer for hire and dang if I'm not allowed to be proud of it"
I've always believed that when I am focusing on my freelance carer as a writer, I should always pay attention to quality. I used to write on freelance all those $1-worth articles everyday....I churn them as a freelance writer out as quick as McD churn out burgers and people just lap these articles up. But my focus as a freelance writer has changed. I want to focus on quality of the stuff that I create as a freelance writer. I want to focus on bringing interesting stuff to the readers, something they can read and just go WOW! So, if you want me on your bandwagon, be warned that I don't want to write non-sensical stuff and I don't want to be an article factory (which you can find a lot in GetAFreelancer...like the kind of freelance writer that I used to be. I outgrew that phase. I want to write important and intelligent articles that mean something to you and your readers. I want to be the kind of freelance writer that I can be proud of. I want originality. If you're looking for cheap freelance web content writers, look elsewhere because that's what I am NOT!
"Freelance writer with a friggin' attitude is good"
An attitude? Sure, I think I it's about time I got myself one of those. I don't have an attitude as a freelance writer, I don't, no, seriously, I don't. I believe in my work, I believe that I am a good freelance writer and I believe that this writer deserves to be paid for the kind of good work that she wants to deliver. I want to kick ass with my writing. I want I want I want! So there.
This freelance writer's developed an attitude.....not because she's proud that she's pretty good at what she does but it's because she's tired of being manipulated. I believe that in order to be good at what you do....whether you're a budding freelance writer or a novice golfer, it's important to have an opinion and attitude. The mental factor. If I bend on the quality of the work I churn out as a freelance writer, I am compromising your expectations of me.
I. DON'T. WANT. TO. DO. THAT. PERIOD.

As a Writer
I am committed to my work as a freelance writer for the Internet. I take pride in the work that I do for my clients as a freelance writer. It's a proven fact that my versatile writing style, professional attitude towards my freelance writing career and resourcefulness when it comes to researcing on topics for online promotion purposes is something that could help your business grow! If you're looking for a way to promote your business online with good content from a reliable professional freelance writer, you're in the right place!
Everyone agrees that in order for a website to grow, you need good content and articles. But this is something hard to come by these days with the saturation of the freelance writing market. What I am consistently on a lookout for is.....someone who provides me with consistent work and online promotion opportunities. A chance to prove that my freelance writing services can help bring you to the top of your favorite search engine. This is the kind of challenge that I find enriching for your business and me as a freelance writer.
I have been working as a freelance writer, writing content for blogs, promoting many websites online and providing top quality articles to many websites for the past decade. I am as serious as you are about your online business! Don't believe every word I say. Just check out some of the things that my clients have to say about using my freelance writing services!
As a Graphic Designer
I am not, bear in mind, professionally trained in this area but it all started out as a hobby. It tied in with my work as an advertisement copywriter. One fine day, someone asked me, "Since you write the copy of the advertisement, can't you design the thing as well?" And viola! Here I am.
I will be putting my portfolio into the site as soon as I can. In the meantime, you can still visit trulymarsha.wordpress.com for my old portfolio.
JOIN MY NEWSLETTER
Sometimes I leave some of the good stuff I find on the Internet or have written in the past off my website and post them in my newsletter. The newsletter (or group) is a way for you to catch some of the best articles on internet marketing, small business, freelance writing, motherhood, parenting, life and inspiration and just about everything else in between. Don't worry, I hate spam and have turned off the group's commenting and feedback system because I hate it when people send and comment unnecessarily in the group. Therefore, you're only going to be getting the good stuff from my newsletter and that's it! Join now because it's easy as one, two, three and you'll start receiving fabulously interesting articles to read throughout your week as a mother, father, freelancer, writer, internet business owner and person.
