You don’t have to have a degree in journalism to pursue a career in freelance writing. Freelance writing is one of the most flexible jobs out there. You receive assignments with a given due date and are free to complete the work on your own time—whether that’s at 5 a. m. before the kids wake up or during their nap time. You can write for websites, small businesses, blogs and more. Writing allows you to explore a variety of topics whether that’s personal finance, parenting, food and recipes, health, or a combination.
To find freelance writing jobs, you can search job boards and freelance writing sites or cold-pitch your favorite sites and blogs. If you don’t have experience, consider writing for a content mill and starting a blog in your area of expertise to gain credibility (For more, see: 6 Top-Paying Freelance Jobs ).
