Do you have a passion for writing? If writing is your "thing" and you have motivation, self-discipline, and a knack for writing, maybe you have considered providing custom writing services and work at home.
Writing services include researching, writing, and editing. Excellent research skills are vital.
It is possible to break into freelance and custom writing fields without experience, or a college degree; however, those with experience or a degree can earn a substantial amount more.
Research paper writers are very popular among the college crowd, and not necessarily the young students, either. A freelance writer-friend of mine tells me all the time that she constantly hears from college students who are holding down a job (or two!), trying to keep their grades up, trying to raise kids and take care of their families, and they're stressed out, tired, and dealing with an ever-demanding curriculum.
Starting your own writing service has a pretty low overhead, as most of your tools will be items you already own - such as your computer, word processing programs, thesaurus.
Writing services can include resume writing, website content, e-books, brochure, flyer and newsletter content, research papers, reports, columns, book reports, term papers, and other custom written documents.
How much can you earn? A little to a lot, depending on the how/what/where you write. Best to research typical charges in your particular niche before setting your price, and try to be flexible.
More training will almost certainly equal more income, and the internet is just the place to further your writing skills.
Becoming certified can help you in this profession, as the quality of your work will be affected. For example, if you would like to start a professional resume writing service, being certified by the Professional Association of Resume Writers (PARW) or the National Resume Writers Association (NRWA) can help you be more credible to potential customers.
