• Personal computer

• Conferencing software
• Headphone
• Ability to write

Personal computer

Without gainsaying, you need a personal computer to research your topic, to type faster, and do the acceptable formatting of your work.

Despite the popularity of Pad and other Android phones, creating 2000-word on these smaller devices can’t be as easy as using a computer laptop, or desktop. Computer laptop makes you mobile as you can take your laptop wherever you go.

Internet connection

If you have to climb a tree to get connected to the rest of the world, then you have to look somewhere else, work-from-home content creation jobs aren’t for you.

Your internet connection will make your work faster and deliver on time. The moment you begin to disappoint your client they would look somewhere else. It may also affect your rating.

Active telephone line

You need an active telephone line as a content creator. On some of the platforms listed above, it gets to a stage when your client would like to connect with you via your telephone line.

Activate email address

The major means of keeping up with updates from writers is email. Set up a functional and fast mail delivery system.

Your number one choice for this should be Gmail and when you do, add the email address of the platform to your address and activate notifications to receive your messages on the go

Personal bank account

As a content writer on Opera Hub, you need an Opay account to receive your earning. For motivejobs and co, you need a PayPal or Payoneer to receive your earnings.

Whichever you choose, it’s also important to connect the account with your conventional bank account to be able to withdraw in your local currency.

Conferencing software

Conferencing software has been in use for a long time, but it became more popular during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Today, it’s popular among employers and employees. One of such is Skype or Google Meet.

You should have these on your laptop or the apps on your android phones. This is very important as some clients or organisations would prefer to meet you through video conferencing.

Ability to write

Do I need an English Degree? No. Do I need to be a Ph.D. holder? Do I need to have a degree in Mass Communication to be a writer? No

Interestingly, most writing platforms do not need your degree provided you can write error-free content, you’re good to go.

Writing assistant software

It may be challenging to be the editor of your own writing, but in content-creating jobs, there is no luxury of time to look for an editor to proofread your work. This is where writing assistant software comes into play.

There are more than 10 such writing assistant software in the market, while some are completely premium, you can find some that offer free-to-use accounts.

One of them is Grammarly. You can download the free version on your laptop and begin to use it. And upgrade to the premium when you are financially buoyant.
