    Anyone making a living writing for others?

    I'm interested in doing something like that.
    What's the scene like?


    Thanks

    I used to have a few good gigs doing reviews until the paysite scene dried up. Before that it was blog posts for pennies. It just wasn't stable enough for my lifestyle. So I really had to reduce my lifestyle or work that as a side gig, which I did.

    In the end, it was always better (in my experience) to be the one looking for writers for your projects, rather than building someone's empire up. But some people would rather a flat rate per word rather than relying on running their own sites.

    Good luck to you!

      Write childrens books - Really easy! They are nice and short and dont take up much imagination.

      Example : (Pages including pictures)

      P1) Bob Was a BOX
      P2) Bob was BLUE
      P3) Bob Was a BLUE BOX
      P4) Ben was also a BOX
      P5) But ben was *different* from BOB
      P6) Ben was RED
      P7) Ben was a RED BOX
      P8) But Bob was a BLUE BOX

      CONCLUSION: Both Boxes were equally valid and useful irregardless of color.

      The end...

        Yeah, not much happening on the adult side, so I'm thinking mainstream articles and such.

          If you do mainstream I'm sure you can charge more.
