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.
