Earning From Writing

I agree with cher.. I have a regular online job... but i do write about 4-5 times a week... depends on how many articles are assigned to me.... the best you get nowadayys is $2 for a 400-500 word article... if I make 5 articles..that's about 2000 words in a day and i only get $10... but it's not really that bad coz I am making $$ from my job too... i evern wrote for somebody in the past (oDesk that paid me less than what I am paid now... but i did it anyway) on top of that I am doing mylot, and other review sites that are constant money earners for me....

i write articles in several sites. it doesnt pay much. but i'm not really after the money. i write because its my passion and money is just secondary.

yeah., i do all the time, but it's no easy task, first of all you need to learn the basics if grammar, and then you need to learn how to draw a picture in your readers head with words, and most importantly, you need an imagination. Three basics of writing. Also, you can earn money by doing some freelance work, but where I come from (Guam) they only pay you by words, something like 25 cents a word, and then after all the editing is done, the editor could have shortened your peice of writing and you could earn even less than what you have written. Writing is like art, so it is a big gamble. I have studied journalism and creative writing in college, and all i want to do is get some books published, but it is a tough market out there and with the economy the way it is, it is even harder. First you need a manuscript completed, then you must find an agent, and then the if the agent thinks your work is great, then they will find a publisher. It's a tough world and I am still trying to get my feet to the floormat at least for now.

i used to write for the internet several years ago. back then you were able to get $10.00 or more for 500 words but now, you only get a dollar or two if you are lucky. too bad the company i used to write for stopped their program!

Well I have not written more than 1000 words...in a day so can't say...smiles...thanx

Hello Bumba. Actually I'm not writing for money. Anyway I earned really good money writing on Ciao, when their program was active. I guess that writing can be a good income way, all depends on how much time your spend in this activity. I knows people that earns a true salary just writing online. But, obviously, they work hard to reach this goal, and it's becomed their true job. Since the invention of the writing, there were people earning money by writing, and nowadays, internet make this job easier. Anyone can try to start this job thanks to internet, writing on sites, publishing online their own books, and so on. About me, I guess I'm too much lazy to spend my whole day writing;)
