Write for a living
If you want to become a freelance writer you’ve got to get yourself straight before you start. If you’re going to make any money by writing you’ve got to know where to focus your efforts so we’ve put together a short list of things for you to consider.
Make a Plan: Before you jump off decide what you want to do. Are you aiming for fulltime or would you rather just moonlight? Decide how much you’re willing to put into writing and go from there.
Get Set Up: You need a desk, a place for writing and a good computer. Get wireless internet deals from a local provider and start reading blogs and trade publications about writing for money. This is how you make your contacts and learn where to get work.
Write for Money: Whether you want to blog or write fiction long term, you’ve got to do some “work” to make cash. Write for SEO, for trade magazines and even blogs, just find someone willing to pay you to write and do it. You’ll learn to think outside your box.
