The Starving
Writer?
So, you want to be a writer? And you want to actually make money writing? Enough money to pay all of the bills, and still have some left over for savings, investing, and fun?

Good luck.

That’s what my father told me a year ago when I told him my plans to become a freelance writer. He told me that I might as well say I wanted to become an artist. Everyone knows the stereotype of the starving artist. Dad just extended that stereotype to the starving writer.

I knew that it was possible to earn good wages as an online writer; I had been reading the blogs of online writers for over a year. There was one blog in particular that inspired me: Young Pre Pro. This writer was an eighteen-year-old guy and English was not his first language. You would think this young man wouldn’t stand a chance at building a thriving freelance writing career online, and yet he did in less than six months!
