Freelance Writing

The easiest way to make cash as a freelancer for most people is through writing.  You’ll need to have a pretty decent grasp of the English language, including the proper use of spelling, punctuation, and grammar.  It doesn’t 

 have to be perfect, but it needs to be passable
Freelance writers typically make about $3 to $10 per article for  web content.  You could make more writing for print publications, but those are  I know $3 doesn’t sound like a lot of money, but with practice you could easily churn out 3-5 articles per hour, which would earn you a minimum of $9 to $15 per hour.  That’s not bad considering you can do it from home, you don’t have to fill out a job application or sit through an interview, and it’s about as easy as it gets
 as far as making some quick cash

 Plus, as you earn a reputation, build a portfolio of sample writing, an
get  some testimonials, you can raise the price you charge for your writing.  You could easily be earning $7 to $10 per article in no time.  That would mean you would be making $35 to $50 per hour.  That’s definitely not bad!
I’ll show you some places to find work later, but for now let me tell you about a site that will pay you for articles.  You can get some quick cash writing articles for Associated Content (http://www.associatedcontent.com) if you’re in the United States.  Unfortunately they don’t currently accept writers outside the U.S., but if you’re American they’ll pay you a few dollars for every article you write, and they will accept most articles if they’re on a good topic and well-written.significantly arder to get work with
