If you’re a writer, you’ve hopefully made plans for making money doing that which you love to do – writing.
For freelancers, making money writing is a very satisfying experience. Getting published, without pay, has its benefits, like getting your name out there, but there’s nothing more fulfilling than actually being compensated for your writing. Here are some ideas to help get you jump started.
? Blogging. Hopefully you’ve got a blog. One example of a site that pays bloggers is www.Blogit.com. It does cost money to join, however. From there, expand your horizons by doing an online search for paid blogging sites you can write for. Gather three or four of your best blog samples and start your “employment file” on your hard drive. In it you’ll include your resume, a cover letter, a bio, and writing samples. When something comes available, all you’ll have to do is refer to your folder on your hard drive.
? Sending articles out. Purchase the 2006 Writer’s Market book or get an online subscription. Study the market and prepare some articles to send out. If you’re like me, and hate waiting, choose markets that don’t require a query letter, but will accept unsolicited articles by email. If you’re more patient, prepare some query letters and get going!
? Greeting card writing. If you have a knack for poetry, you may just be ripe for writing greeting card content. Study the market and send out samples. American Greetings, Blue Mountain and others are waiting for fresh voices and new ideas.
? Community and local papers. Check out newspapers and publications in your city that might be hiring. Let them know you’re a freelancer and would like a chance to pitch article ideas to the editor. Prepare your samples and you may just be given a chance.
? Promote yourself to businesses. Small businesses in your areas or even online may need a professional writer and consultant to help them get going. Place a small classified ad in a paper or send out postcards to local businesses.
? Get your own website. If you’ve always thought about it, but haven’t yet taken the step, now is the time. A website complements whatever else you’re already doing in promoting yourself; but it’s not an end-all. On it you can feature your portfolio, and offer a variety of services and products. I can help you develop a website. The costs to consider, through me and my associates, are as follow:
Domain registration and setup - $50 or so
Hosting: $10 a month
Web design: $300 for three pages (additional pages are $75)
Web maintenance: $35 a month
Shopping carts vary in cost.

? Online writing opportunities. There are many websites that need people to write and edit content. Check out various writing sites for various advertised opportunities. If you go to my links page on my website, you’ll find a list of these writing resources: www.kcnet.com/writersplace
? Contact advertising agencies in your area. Let them know you’re a freelance writer and would like to help them out with projects. Send them your resume and some samples and any other materials that might give them an idea of what you’re qualified to do.
? Expand your creativity beyond just writing. Most of you have other talents besides writing. Some of you are artists, photographers, computer programmers, web designers, and PR specialists. Offer any and all these services on a freelance basis. Don’t limit yourself. You may feel you’re not “professional” enough, but some people have no experience at all and could benefit from your knowledge and skills.
The potential for making money freelancing is there. It just requires a little creative thinking, planning, motivation and confidence. Now is the perfect time to implement your freelance plan. Don’t hesitate any longer. Get started!!
