I have read this :Work to improve your writing skills. You should try to write at least 500 words a day. As they say, practice makes perfect. If you want to make money freelance writing online or offline, you need to be good enough that an editor is willing to publish your work. One of the best ways to get ahead of the rest and become a freelance writer successfully is to work on your craft.I will give you a few links I hope this helps.Best of Luck http://www.ehow.com/how_5358925_become-freelance-writer-beginners.html http://www.wikihow.com/Become-a-Freelance-Writer http://www.bobbrooke.com/WritersCorner/successfulfreelance.htm http://www.prospectsolution.com/how-to-become-a-freelance-writer.aspx

Thank you very much for the useful information but you don't happen to know sites and editors that do that type of stuff, i mean if you are a free lance writer you must have your contacts don't you?

Oh No I am not a freelance writer,I'm just good at researching information. I want to write a book next year but thanks about it. What ever you do just put your mind to it and you can do it. Have some faith in yourself.

you must know english very well and must have good grammar and etc. if english is your primary language then i didnt see any problem with it as long as you know how to write and compose articles or story. you must know how to start and when to end your story. of course writing must be your passion as it will be easy for you to think of the story in given situation. if you dont know how then you can search it on web on how to write like a professional writer but as i said, if you have grammar issue then i guess you need to practice it first coz even though you love to write but you dont have perfect grammar then they will just going to reject your work. theres too many site where you can start writing, just search it online and select. better read and know more about the site first before joining.
