Can an Inexperienced Writer Get Paid for Writing?

[ad_1]

Most jobs require experience. Especially those jobs where you have a potential to   make  a lot of  money . If you want to get paid for writing and have no experience, what are the chances that you can land an online writing job and begin earning a full time living as a writer?

I was just thinking the other day how amazing it is that in this day and time anyone can start their own business  online  and begin  making   money  without spending much of anything. Years ago it was totally different. If you wanted to start a business it usually required a brick and mortar building and lots of leg work and advertising, and of course a lot of  money  up front.

Not so anymore. Right now you can decide to set up a business for yourself as a writer of, for example, blog posts for others. Your initial costs might be just to have a website done for you, or if you are pretty Internet savvy, you can make one for yourself for free. Then you just put out a few ads and let it be known you are available for hire as a writer, and voila, you can begin getting jobs and begin  making   money  right away.

You’re probably thinking oh it can’t be that easy, but it really is. But what if you are quite inexperienced with writing? Well generally people who have a desire to write also enjoy reading and have probably read a good number of books in their lifetime. This gives you a good head start on writing. You already have an idea of good grammar and good sentence structure, and what makes a story interesting.

It is these qualities that make a good writer. It’s also good if you really have a burning desire to write because if you want to get paid for writing and do this full time, you’ll need to be doing a lot of writing on a daily basis. And it won’t always be about subjects you have any interest in.

For example, if you decide you will write blog posts for others or articles for others, and charge by the word, unless you specify certain subjects (not a good idea) there is no telling what you might be writing about. One day you may need to do a batch of articles and write about computers and the next day someone may hire you to write 10 articles or posts about mattresses. There is just no telling.

So you see, chances are great that if a job writing is what you really want, you can become a paid writer no matter your experience level.
