Freelance Writer Can Make $4,800 A Month
Von admin | 2.Januar 2010
Some people, who are not familiar with the writing business believe freelance writer are poor fellows. I write this post to straighten out, that it is not true.
Many freelance writer I know are making far more money than people are making in their 9-5 jobs.
Here’s a little calculation:
It’s easy to write 3 quality articles each 1000 words per day. For this calculation, the rate I’ll take is $0,03/word.
Here we go… 3 * 1000 = 3000
3000 * $0,03 = $30
$30 * 30 days = $900 a month
In some countries is $900 a month more than enough.
Let’s do the calculation again, but this time with a rate of $0,04/word and 4 articles per day.
4 * 1000 = 4000
4000 * $0,04 = $160
$160 * 30 days = $4800
Now someone shall tell me a freelance writer doesn’t make money!
Honestly, someone who starts his writing career will not make this kind of money. It comes with the time. Creating connections with good paying clients. Increasing rate as a result of increasing quality.
A good place to find writing work is textbroker.com and the DP forums.
