Make Money From Home Freelance Writing
- 1 Comment
You may make extra income or full time money working from home as a freelance writer. I do it every day. I started one day by writing something for fun and then decided I wanted to get paid. I went to WebPages of magazines I liked or who I thought I would be a good fit with and I searched their pages for information on writing for them. Almost every magazine has website information for you to get for free.
My next step was to follow their instructions and submit a query letter. A query letter is basically asking for work. It’s the most important thing you can do to get work. If your letter isn’t interesting and well written then the publisher is going to assume your article isn’t well written either.
You can find magazines and markets for your writing or you can buy one of the writers market books. The books give tips, instructions and hundreds of publishers and their contact information. They also list how much the publishers pay for articles, how many words they expect and more detailed instructions.
Blogs are a great way to make money. Make money blogging or selling your freelance articles to bloggers. Many bloggers don’t have time to write articles every day, but they want fresh content on their sites to entice their readers to come back every day. You can send blog owners a query letter telling them your article ideas and asking if they would be interested.
Simple Steps
Step One: Research the magazines and or WebPages you would like to write for.
Step Two: Send an query letter.
Step Three: Write your heart out.
