How a Cloud Workspace Can Help Your Freelance Writing Career

Anthony McKenzie October 11, 2023

Having a successful freelance writing career requires more than just being astute in the writing craft. You also have to be resourceful and innovative. While proficiency in writing web content is a core attribute every freelance writer must possess, it doesn’t guarantee commercial success.

The freelance market is very competitive, with only those experts that exhibit grit and resilience able to survive and thrive. The individuals who have managed to nurture blossoming writing careers don’t just have their writing prowess to thank for it, but they also credit innovative tools that have played equally important roles in bringing about their success.

One of such innovation receiving praises in the freelance market today is the Cloud workspace, a solution that has enhanced and made freelancing more productive and efficient.

 

What is Cloud Workspace?

 

Cloud technology has revolutionized many aspects of the digital sphere, bringing with it big enhancements in internet technology and its numerous applications. From the seamless storage of media files online to the on-demand access of documents via the internet, and even virtual collaboration with teams/client, the Cloud has provided users new and exciting solutions by allowing access to remote physical servers, databases, and computers over the internet. 

Among the solutions that make use of Cloud technology, none is arguably as profound as Cloud workspaces. A Cloud workspace is a virtual desktop that gives you access to your work area and the cloud-based apps on a device no matter where you are located in the world as long as you are connected to the internet. Despite its limitless accessibility feature, the Cloud workspace is able to provide a user experience that is identical to the traditional desktop interface.

A Cloud workspace essentially eliminates the need to have your work files, documents, media, and apps duplicated on multiple computers or devices all in a bid to have access to them or share your workload/collaborate with others. With Cloud workspaces, only a username and a password stand between you and access to your virtual desktop wherever you may be.

 

Why Freelance Writers Need Cloud Workspace

 

It is not surprising that some freelance writers do not appreciate the usefulness of Cloud workspaces. After all, the duties of a writer are basic and executable. With a simple text processor, access to the internet and, if necessary, a grammar editor, you can kick-off your freelance writing career and join the multitude of writers earning a living by commercializing their expertise.

But, just like everything else in life, success as a freelancer isn’t always as simple as it sounds. Lots of shortfalls exist that will warrant a non-negotiable need for the functions Cloud workspaces provide. Failure to fix the issues when freelancing may spell disasters or even the end for your freelance writing career.

If you want your freelance writing venture to be productive and lasting, rather than being a brief sojourn, then you must be willing to embrace innovative developments in the sector. Even if it looks like you won’t ever have a need for some innovative developments and tech solutions in your niche, familiarizing yourself with new technologies and innovative tools and applying them in your trade isn’t highly advisable as they often turn out to be quite useful.

The circumstances and situations where Cloud workspace prove beneficial for freelance writers are many. Let's touch on some of the scenarios that warrant the use of Cloud workspaces in freelance writing.

 

Situations a Cloud Workspace Is Beneficial for Freelancers

1. When Your Device Crashes

 

A system crash or malfunction is perhaps the worst thing that can happen to a freelancer. It doesn’t only mean you lose access to the tools that make it possible for you to complete assigned tasks, but it can also lead to a complete wipe-off of your work and creative portfolio. Even though the latter can be salvaged by consistently backing-up your device, the primary challenge of having access to your virtual work area still remains unresolved.

A Cloud workspace, however, helps mitigate this issue by ensuring you are able to access the work and tools on your device’s desktop using another device—absent any fuss whatsoever. Whether you choose to repair the defective device, temporarily use a different one, or permanently replace it with a brand new system, if you were using a Cloud workspace you'll still have access to your old desktop along with every tool installed in it by just entering your Cloud workspace login details.

Having a Cloud workspace operational on your device ensures that you’re less anxious about any possible issues with that device that may arise simply because access to your work and tools is cloud-based and isn’t limited to the device being used.

 

2. When You Suddenly Change Location

 

It is possible for a remote freelance professional to suddenly have a need to change location on short notice without much prior arrangement put in place. This may lead to the individual moving to a new location without his or her working device.

Whether it is an emergency situation or a precautionary decision, leaving your location for a new one without your device can definitely affect your freelance work since you will be unable to have access to the files and writing tools on your device.

However, if you have your desktop synced with a Cloud workspace, you won’t have to worry about accessing your files and writing tools regardless of the location you intend to move to, as long as internet access remains readily available there.

 

3. When You Need to Collaborate with Others Remotely

One of the cons of working remotely is the inability for your clients to chip in during the process of completing a project, with most of the client’s input effected only after the completion of the task. While this doesn’t necessarily jeopardize the quality of the freelancer’s work, it does lead to a marginal disparity between the client’s expectation and the delivered content.

A Cloud workspace helps to rectify this by making it possible for both the freelancer and client to have access to the work area, which makes collaboration much easier and allows the client to add his or her ideas on the task while it is being worked on. With a Cloud workplace, the margin of error is greatly reduced since the project is heavily scrutinized all through the development process, hence making the final outcome a perfect representation of the client’s vision.

 

In Conclusion

 

Overall, a successful freelance career is possible, especially if you leverage innovative modern technology solutions like Cloud workspaces. In order to boost productivity, efficiency, and actualize your freelance dreams, you must utilize the available tools to safeguard and enhance your work, and no other tool exhibits these capabilities more than a Cloud workspace.
