When breaking into the freelance writing field, the first question on most writers’ minds is:

Can I Really Make Money Freelance Writing?

Well…Yes! It is possible to earn a decent amount of money. There are people who even make a full time income from freelance writing.

$171,316 From Freelance Writing?

Some of the bid sites (where people go to hire writers, designers, virtual assistants, etc.) list for each user how much money they have earned via the site.

After a writer wins a project and completes it, the buyer pays that writer. Sometimes the buyer chooses to pay the writer through the bid site’s secure system. In this case, the bid site adds the payment to the writer’s “total earned” and displays it on the site, so all the users can see it.

For example, if you look on Elance at the Writing section, Julie-Ann Amos (a user with level 12) has earned $171,316 in 28 hours of work!

Where can you “sell” your writing skills?
