Writing for Profit

Hello. I recently decided to do some writing for profit, so that I could report back to you on how I found the various aspects of it. So, I enrolled at Elance as a service provider (for free) and I bid on some jobs. I bid on 5 jobs and I got 2 of them. One was writing a blog for a travel niche blog (vacation rentals - holiday homes for those of us in the UK) and the other was writing 20 articles on a provided list of child related subjects. I was comfortable with both topics, and familiar enough with them to write a good proposal and have them accepted. In my proposal, I simply stated who I am, gave links to my blog and to my EzineArticle expert author page and quoted a price. I will be paid $10 for each 500 words I write. I am half way through the blogging experience and have nearly finished the articles. I have done it all in my "spare" time (not my usual working hours) and it has fitted in really easily.

It isn't impossible to make money online and writing is a great way to start. Swapping your time for money is easily achievable.

love
Sarah
