on 10/29/2008 An editor contacted me to write for a column in their magazine. Of course, I accepted, but I did want to get some ideas on how to approach a Freelance position for the magazine after I have written the article.

on 11/22/2005 I find that actually writing helps me a lot, so I use a blog. It's become kind of popular with my friends and they read it on a regular basis.

on 11/22/2005 To make a full-time income as a freelance writer, diversify your writing. Don't focus strictly on magazines. Look for writing work (marketing material, newsletters, tech manuals, press releases, etc.) from businesses and public agencies. The pay is much higher than magazine work and can provide a very good income. Typical rates in my area of the country are $75 per hour.

on 11/22/2005 Visit www.writeforcash.com. They pay in US Dollars for your articles. They are pretty strict on quality and reject a lot of your ideas. I write for them on a regular basis and have built up a good portfolio.

on 11/22/2005 A great way to get clips is to become familiar with the style (content, writing, focus) of your neighborhood or weekly paper. Then, speak to the editor about contributing, or write a short filler piece (200-300 words) and present it.

on 11/22/2005 Editors usually hesitate to work with new writers for three main reasons: 1. deadlines (will you meet them); 2. dependability (if you have an assignment, will you follow through); and 3. demeanor (will you be able to handle difficult subjects).
