Freelance writers

About being a freelance writer, what sort of qualifications are there? Does a high schooler have as much of a chance making it as someone with a Bachelor's in Comparative Literature? Is it necessary to find a niche and stick there? Is it rare to be a freelancer full time and make enough to not work a day job?

I would like to be...I have written and been published in some daily pubications but I would like to do more than than. I would appreciate tips.

I seem to be having a hard time and was wondering if you would be willing to share your ideas and maybe shat sites you work though

I have been freelance writing for about 3 months now. I currently work for two companies doing web content articles. I roughly make $200 per week, which isn't a lot but it will make a house payment. I honestly don't remember what site I went through to hook up with the companies I am with now. I was looking everywhere initially and I just remember emailing about an opportunity and the rest is history. I have steady work every week and a paycheck I can depend on. She needs more people that I know. If you are a good writer I could recommend you, once I see a sample. The requirements are 35-50 350-400 word articles in 5-7 days and it pays between $3.75-$4.50 per article. Not much, but for me just starting out, having a steady paycheck is much more important to me than winning one job every few months for a few hundred dollars, ya know what I mean?? Check these sites out too. I am not sure about all of them, and personally I wouldnt pay anything to get work, in my opinion that is a scam. I didnt pay a dime for the work I got. www.associatedcontent.com www.guru.com www.elance.com www.ifreelance.com Contact me or add me to friends if you would like to chat more.
