Work From Home as a Freelance Writer
As I have stated numerous times before, there are a number of ways that you can make money while working at home. Personally, I am a website content writer and my income comes in from writing articles, blog posts and the occasional sales letter for clients all around the world.
Freelance Writing Experiment Update #1
Well, it’s only been a day or so since my last post about the freelance writing experiment that I have decided to undertake, and because of a comment that I received, I think I need to go into a bit more detail.
The ultimate goal of this experiment is to prove to other writers that they can, indeed, make money by creating content for Associated Content and Constant Content; now, I don’t know from first-hand experience that these two writers resources will be able to produce what I would consider a full-time income, but according to a comment posted by the president of Associated Content, there are many writers on Associated Content that make hundreds and even thousands of dollars per month.
Associated Content and Constant Content Experiment
I’ve decided to do a little experiment with Associated Content and Constant Content; namely, I am going to see how much money can be made using these two writers resources. Now, because of my busy schedule I cannot commit to this full-time, though I will work to publish a minimum of 5 articles per week until the end of 2007.
I’ve read in the Associated Content forums that there are freelance writers who submit content to Associated Content full time, though I’m not sure how that could lead to a full-time income. Personally, I’ve used Associated Content in the past under a pen name, though I only ended up submitting about 15 articles in total to the tune of $50 or so dollars in up-front payment and a few dollars thus far from their performance bonus.
Help For Freelance Writers
Every once in a while, writers get stuck. Or they need some insight. Or they simply want to take a break and mentally mingle with some like-minded free thinkers. I decided that I would put together a list of some active freelance writing & copywriting forums for this website as they certainly can come in handy from time to time.
Do you use a Pen-Name?
Certainly using a pen-name is a commonality amongst freelance writers for a variety of reasons; whether it’s because a writer wants to keep their writing persona separate from their personal life, because they simply don’t like their name or because they don’t want to confuse their readership by branching out into new genera’s (such as writing racy romance novels and then publishing a children’s book). Whatever the case may be, pen-names are commonly used by writers these days. The question remains, however, is the act of using a pen-name helpful for your writing business, or is it ultimately bad for your bottom line?
