Making Online Writing Your Day Job

Google online writing and any number of hits will pop up. In this day and age, writing online seems to be the perfect niche for those of you who prefer to make their living as scribes. With the Internet only growing and the need for writers in every niche increasing, there is no better time than now to get in on it.

Would you like a job where you are your own boss, you can get up when you like and work when you want? Writing is one of your best options for this type of work. It can be a bit of a struggle to begin with, as the challenge of finding quality paying gigs can be tough, but once you start to get clients and make a bit of a name for yourself you will find it gets easier. As you get better at it, you can command better fees. You can specialize within a particular niche or be more general and focus on content. It really depends on you.

Ideally, you will want to figure out how much writing you will want to do, as you will run into writer’s block and you will also find that you’ll want to be careful not to burn yourself out. Online writing can be fun and it should remain so. This is especially true when you are doing it for a living.

So, if you want to get into online writing, start with small things to get an idea of what you want to do, and try to narrow your niche, set up a regular schedule, as it’s easier, and then work at it until you find what works for you. If things go well, you should have found a good balance between making a living and enjoying your writing.
