The Freelance Writer

An online freelance writer is someone who writes articles, eBooks, web content,
newsletters, ezine, and anything else. They are paid to write up interesting, educational
articles that capture their audience. They are paid to fill content on the web. All the
writing that a freelance writer does is usually the buyers copyright forever. It is a very
fun career if you like to write because you are always learning about new things. The
greatest part of it is the fact that you get to make your own hours and work from the
comfort of your own home. It is great for stay at home mothers or handicapped people or
people with very busy schedules. You write on your own time as long as you finish your
projects on your due date. Depending on what you write, you could get paid about 500
dollars for an eBook, not bad.

A freelance writer finds their projects many different ways, such as word of mouth or
referrals, or online services. Elance is an online service where employers can post jobs
for freelancers, programmers, tech support, etc. There are many sites like this one where
you can go to find work, although there is usually a monthly fee you must pay to get
these desirable jobs. When accepting a job, if there is no provided contract, a freelance
writer should always create an informal contract describing the project, due date, fees,
etc.

The work that freelance writers submit should be fresh and creative. It should NEVER
be plagiarized. A freelance writer will always spell check their work and make sure it
sounds great. Having a portfolio of your work is an excellent idea because it shows how
great of a writer you are under varied projects. Taking some online writing classes will
also keep you learning new ways to write better. Details always count so make sure you
keep up to date and always write from your heart.
