There is no one "best" way to earn money. If you enjoy the kind of writing that is required for a freelance careers, then it may be the best one for you. But it takes a lot of work, including finding jobs, and it requires that you know your subjects and that you're able to write well. Most people don't realize that it takes as much work to make a living from freelancing as it does at any other job. In fact, it can take more work, since jobs and income aren't dependable, and you have to keep putting yourself out there, just to keep going. I tried that route and found that I hated it so much that I just about quit writing at all. It's not for everyone.

Yes, I do some freelancing when I have the time and I make nice money from it. I write articles, do translations and some basic SEO work mostly. It's nice!

I will say yes freelancing is the best way to make money but it will depend on what kind of service you will offer the clients.I do work as a 5 dollar freelancer in fiverr.com and so far I am earning good there since I am offering soundtrack making to my clients.The good thing about this freelancing site is you don't have to bid but the bad thing about this site is,you need to wait 15 days for clearance.Which means 15 days for every purchased.I never heard of www.everydayhomeincome.com but I will check it.

I have heard that freelancing is the best way to earn money. I started a little magazine years ago, and made some money doing that. It was where parents shared advice, knowledge, jokes, and little tricks pertaining to parenting "parenting Pride." I even had a children's book review. That was many years ago, but I think Moms would still enjoy something like this. You just have to find the right site for you.

it totally depends to you in which field you are expert. if you are expert in web designing then you will definitely earn well. But there is no such one thing for everyone. it changes from person to person. Some are good in writing articles while some are good in translation.....

I never tried freelancing jobs but I have friends who talk about it and they are interested in it. I checked your link and I learnt something from there. I don't think that there is anything more for me to discuss here because you wanted to share some knowledge and I got that. Thank you and have a nice day ahead.

Deenjesu- If you are going to "freelance" you need to know the area/field that you are going to "freelance". If you are writing articles you will want to check out the submission requirements of those magazines/online e-zines you are going to send material to, and follow those guidelines. This will help you to avoid material being rejected. Make sure you understand how you are to be paid so that you know what to expect. Namaste-Anora
