[quote=Anonymous]Freelance writing can be quite lucrative for people who are 1) talented, 2) motivated and 3) savvy about today's market conditions. That could be the OP but it won't necessarily be easy to start breaking in from scratch about how the market works. Some tips: 1. While it may be possible to make some money writing about parenting or soft womens' issues this is probably not the easiest route. 2. Look beyond mainstream publications to businesses, trade associations, etc., that need a strong writers (often to write boring material) and have the money to pay a living wage. 3. Think about matching your area(s) of expertise with the market need. While all of us parents are parenting experts, the supply and demand in this topic area are not ideal. But if you dig deep you may find you have other areas of expertise: commercial real estate, retirement planning, home networking, energy efficiency, to offer just a few suggestions.[/quote]
