Freelance Writing and Research

Writing at Home

If you are a mother who needs to work but has trouble finding adequate child care then why not try writing at home. If you can do basic research, have a wide range of interests and write good English then you can make a living working from home.  There are some content sites which pay writers $5 for 4-500 word articles, if you are a fast typist it is possible to get ten done in a day, more if you're really fast - that's at least $250 working five days a week and choosing your own hours.

Many writers will also bid for work on sites such as Guru and Elance. Some of these jobs are really badly paid but it is possible to find some clients who are willing to pay a reasonable rate for your articles. Give it a try, it's what I and a number of others that I know do.
