It doesn’t matter if the economy is good or bad – freelance writers are always in demand. Your services as a freelance writer are often required for creating online content, whether it be for an online magazine or periodical, a news site or a new website launch. When you become a freelance writer, you’re choosing a career built for longevity that will last as long as you want or need it to.

You can make several thousand dollars each month by becoming a freelance writer. Of course, you won’t make that in your first month alone, but with practice, you can work up to that point.

As a freelance author, you can choose how often you want to work. Maybe you’ve got a soccer game to attend this afternoon and just can’t finish that last article. No biggie, since you’re not under the gun to finish it. After all, as a freelancer, you answer to no one but yourself when it comes to your work hours.
