making a living as an online writer is really difficult. English is my second language and I am competing again people who are using English as first language. After a decade of writing, I have come to a conclusion that writing is impossible career

Making a living as an online (or an offline) writer is really difficult also for those of us for whom English is our first language. You have made a lot more headway towards accomplishing it than I have.

writers in Vietnamese language suffer from the same problems. If you look at the posts that some of the guys posted on famous websites, some of the posts also doesn't have anything to say, almost like yours but may be you are not branded as they are. So no matter how good your writing is, you cant compete!

@VinayaG,My mother tongue is Hindi.In India it is very difficult to make a living as a writer,but,as some people have told me,making a living as a writer in English is not that difficult.I am told that there are many writers in European countries who earn a full time income only by writing.How far it's true,I don't know.

It is not everyone that is so talented for writing.
