Time Away for Doing What I Love

I must apologize for my time away. I have been very busy writing and making money at it.
It has been a very liberating experience to be able to do what I love and make money at it consistently.

There are plenty of places on the internet, that if you enjoy writing you can write and get paid for it. Granted you may not always being doing the most creative writing on the planet, half the time you are writing various forms of research articles but it pays.

I would recommend to anyone that wants to make a living at writing to check a couple freelance sites. Two of them that are really good, and free are online-writing-jobs.com and freelancer.com. Both of these sites post jobs daily for freelancers to bid on. Project range from data entry, transcribing, web page design and so on. Really it is worth you spending ten minutes to sign up and check out what they have to offer because you never know where it will lead.

That is actually how I ended up with both of my paying writing jobs that are consistent. There were two different projects posted asking for writers and if you were a good writer and reliable and could perform consistently it may lead to full time work. That was what I was looking for. I don't mind having to bid on jobs and wait for the job to close and the posting client decide what bid to accept and then you find out if you got. You can make more money that way, but it isn't consistent and it takes time. So I recommend finding the ones that offer steady work while you are bidding on the rest.

There are some sites that you can go to and apply to be a writer such as www.letterRep.com, www.suite101.com, www.PreschoolRock.com. I am in the process of checking these out now and I will update you on what I found.

You can check out Need-An-Article.com, they are very good, reliable and helpful. You have to submit a writing sample and follow thier guidelines and then they decide whether or not to put you on staff. They don't pay "big money" but they offer consistent money. You set what you make based on how much you write.

Check back tomorrow to see what I have to say about those three sites.
