So You Want to Become a Writer?
When I was a child I always used to dream of being a writer but I guess as you grow up dreams like that begin to seem unrealistic and so for a while I gave up and followed the usual practices of doing admin work for other companies, until I stumbled upon the most exciting thing of my life and followed my dreams to becoming a full-time writer.
If this has been your dream then I want to help give you some advice on how you can go into writing full time.
How I Became a Full-Time Writer My Dad had always been interested in finding a home-based business opportunity for the member's of his family and he would often come to me with this internet business idea and that and all of them I just seemed to be turning down, either feeling they were out-right scams or simply weren't for me.
Then one day I decided that I would look for myself, mainly to please him, and immediately stumbled upon Elance.
I thought there was no harm in registering for Elance and trying to get a few writing jobs through them.
Everybody had always told me I had talent in writing so I didn't think it would be too difficult and might be fun, and so my journey began.
I actually started as I was on my way to visit my sister in Germany for a holiday and that whole holiday I seemed to be trying to fit in time, in between site seeing to write for clients.
I came back and immediately handed in my resignation and stopped working at the end of the month I returned (two months after starting Elance).
I think this is the best way to start -sign up and start doing work for clients, but if you find that you have a little extra time then don't let it stop there.
Create Your Own Websites This is another area that I have explored as a full time writer and love.
Most of what I write for clients is website articles and e-books so it seems to fit in well and I specialized in internet marketing and home-based business subjects so a natural progression was to start my own websites and write for them.
This allows you to either have an avenue to sell other books you write or to sell other products such as affiliate products and use your articles or copywriting to promote them.
Why Not Write Your Own Book or E-Book? Writing your own book or e-book takes time and that's why I have put it last.
Start with the other two and make money from them but at the same time think about writing your own book or e-book that you can sell and that will, when it's finished, bring in good returns and passive income.
These are three methods that I recommend using for becoming a full-time writer and entering this exciting world.
I am truly doing something I love and I recommend it for anyone else who loves writing.
