(2022)

This book explores why great powers lose Small Wars and conflicts from 1839 to the present day, including the current War on Terror and the War in Afghanistan, as well as other conflicts that involve great powers fighting what can be perceived to be unwinnable wars.

This book will cover the British fighting three wars in Afghanistan from 1839 to 1842, the second Afghan war in 1878-80, and the Third Afghan in 1919.

This book will also have information on why the Soviet-Finish War or the Winter War in 1939 and how the Soviet was defeated; there will be more information in this book on other small wars like the war in Northern Ireland from the 1960s to 1998.

This book is aimed at people wishing to enter the Digital Marketing and Freelance Writing workspace.

​

This book contains information on publishing websites that hire freelance writers and how inspiring Digital Marketers and people wanting to break into different writing niches and get their start in this competitive sector.

​

Being a successful writer and freelancer is not just a skill set but also a lifestyle and commitment. In certain professions like history, you can spend 30 years not being involved in that skill set and still be able to return to that profession and meet the job requirements.

​

In contrast, niches like tech and copywriting and their relation to search engine optimisation, product, and new methods of marketing and selling products and services require Digital Marketers and writers to maintain up-to-date information on current trends.

​

Again if you wish to embark on a career as a freelance writer, please be aware there is a learning curve.

​

As I write this book, I am bringing together my experience in the Freelance Writing and Digital Marketing industry, which I experienced from November 2020 to March 2023.

​

To develop your skills, it will take six months and two years to prove yourself, build up experience with clients, and expand your portfolio of work.

​

This book aims to provide people wishing to become Freelance Writers, writers and Digital Marketers a blueprint for success in their first few years of entering this industry.

​

The first step is to choose success by putting some time each day into developing the newly selected skill set that you wish to build but remember that reading is a form of learning but only by doing the work can you truly grow as an individual.
