I am so glad that I can finally write about this coaching program – the one that started my career as an online writer. This is the program that got me started doing what I do.  I am a full time writer, and I make money by writing articles, e-books, blogs and other web-related content. 

Like many people, I had been looking for a way to earn money working from home.  I didn’t want to put my daughter in after school care or summer programs, and I had always wanted to own my own business- I just wasn’t sure what that business was going to be.  I have several novels that I’ve been looking to get published, but hadn’t found the right publisher yet – so I didn’t think I could make money as a writer.  Then I came across a job posting on Craigslist.org looking for writers to work as subcontractors.

I admit – I am cynical about most of the work-for-hire situations. I automatically assume they are scams and all they want is my money. However, I replied to the ad and so became the start of my new career. I decided to post this piece because it is a legitimate business that nearly anyone can start. Due to the unsteady economy, coupled with lost jobs, and the rising cost of everything, people who need a second income are not always able to make that other job work. MakeMoneyFromWriting.com is a coaching program that takes you step by step through the process of starting your own online freelance writing business.  It’s not about multi-level marketing. It is literally a mentoring/coaching program that helps you get your first paid writing job and then teaches you how to build up your client list so that you always have paid work coming in.  You become a writer who actually earns a living from writing; instead of what many of us start out as – writers who work other jobs to pay the bills.

I checked out what must have been hundreds of work at home “opportunities” but the fact was I didn’t want to do home parties, I wasn’t interested in recruiting other people to start home based businesses.  I just wanted to work for myself, and I think anyone who is able to write simple sentences can do this for a living.

Online freelance writers are in constant demand, and for anyone who’s looking to make extra money or want to start a new career, I think this could be the work at home solution you’ve been looking for, too, especially during times of such economic distress.
