How much did you earn as a freelance writer? I have earned regularly from freelance writing. Although I have earned a lot, it went straight to expenses, but without this income , I don't think I would have survive. I can earn as much as $1,000 a month if I want to. But I just don't have enough time because of full time work. What about you? please don't mention any sites. Just mention the maximum that you have earned per month. Thanks.

I'm still new, so I'm not yet familiar with the industry. I'm also kinda wary of the scam since they seem to be everywhere. I usually research first on the company or employer. If you could suggest some sites or employer, I'll check it out. thanks

I would refrain from commenting on your question Jenaisle! Rather I would float a piece of advise! Stick to the way which has earned you $1,000 a month. Too much experiment may lead to time crisis and undesired frustration. Anyway, my things are going okay after a setback due to repeated and aimless experiments.

Thanks that you still remember me after so long time! Yes! We all at some point of time suffer from motivation. Not that online life is easier and full of comfort. You can't compare it with any day job. So, we need more inspiration from every source - preferably from other online friends who have achieved something worth a mention. Nice to hear you. And yes! I am back to myLot and like I have been - on and off frequently - from myLot and from different other places. Keep talking!

I plan to stop work in my previos job and only earn money through the internet. As you mentioned that you could get $ 1,000 a month makes me more convinced that I could survive by leaving my previous job.
If allowed, what site can you please notify me? What should I do?

I won't leave my regular job, unless I know my writing skills are excellent. You'll have to try first for at least a year. because some employers might not be satisfied with your work. I was dump twice before i found someone who stuck with me. But I did not earn all that from one employer only I have several employers.

I've decided to leave my regural job at the end of this year and my writing skills are worse than you because english isn't my native language.
But anyway I will try and serve as a challenge. I will focus on deepening my grammar and hope to be able to write an article properly.
Like the saying goes
where there is a will then there is a way.

Please let me know how have you managed to make such an important amount of money? Which sites have you joined and what type of work is involved? I would be very thankful, because I would definitely need money.

I write articles online...I work per batch and I had to write 65 articles 2 weeks ago. The rate of my employer is 1.5USD per 300 word articles. As of the moment, he gave articles to rewrite for 2USD each.

Freelance writing is my favorite hobby indeed. But, I could not enjoy doing that often with my full time job taking most of the hours each work day. And, the weekends are loaded too getting ready for the coming week. So, my earning from freelance writing has only been around $ 50 a month. That's alright ! I am happy with that !

being a freelancer is good as well as bad..
it is good for those who have the capabilities to complete the job and who have some basic knowledge abt the job that is to be done.
but it is bad for inexperienced persons like me.
when i joined the site i thought that this was a very good oppurtunity for me to earn..
but when i accepted some jobs and cudnt complete them,,it was very depressing for me.
hence i stopped working on freelancer.
the only reason was that i didnt have any idea how to work...

I have just started writing, but I earn a couple hundred online every month. My maximum month was about $560. I am still working on my income.
