Yes, absolutely. If you are looking for a long-term career as an online writer, you need a professional website or blog.

I’m not saying this is the wrong approach to starting a writing business.

In fact, at the beginning of your writing career, it is the best way to test your caliber and business opportunities.

Indeed, I’m telling you the truth and saving you from future problems.

Therefore, you must invest some money in creating your own writing platform, so that in the time of emergency, you can have a backup support system for your writing…
