Low season will always Catch up, Take Heed

Article by Alfa Kimani

We are all aware of the season swings int he writing industry. When we understand the need to be humble even when we have plenty of orders, we will go a long way into having a satisfactory year, regardless the season.

In the writing industry, there are some months that some writers loath. the month of June to August, and January. Of course this is dependent on the platform you us to get your orders.

Here are some pointers from a post by the Admin

High season is gone, low season has just kicked in. The ‘experienced writer’ who eloped is back

Here are the questions am not able to answer

1. Brathee, Kwani order ziliisha? Saa hiyo jamaa alihepa at the start of high season ati CPP ya 300 ni kidogo sana

2. Buda, why are you not assigning me the orders yet am placing bids? Msee alisema yeye hafanyangi 2 and 3 page orders, Yeye ni mtu wa ma 10 page

3. Aki ukipata an urgent order unistue, hata kama ni night. Msee claimed yeye hananga internet usiku so never to assign them night orders.

4. Jamaa alihepa for greener pastures za CPP ya 400 and now story ni, Aki bro nisaidie, imagine jamaa ameniosha chapaa yangu? utanisaidiaje?

Landing back to earth: Learning curve

Low season just means we have few orders which are meant for ONLY those who showed they cared over the high season and went the extra mile with us.

Hapa ni penye unawaza and say, Mtu anyenyekee Mungu amutumie. Otherwise, you will always find yourself jobless during the low season

PS – WE ARE NOT HIRING AT THE MOMENT, inbox requests related to such will be ignored.

Ni hayo tuu kwa sasa

The same scenario happens in the world of article writing. Mtu anakushow nowadays I only do transcription jobs coz they are better paying, then a few weeks later, I get a text message at night reading, ”Hi, I’m ready to tackle the articles, Zitume saa hii!”
