I’m a freelance writer for a popular blog. I love doing this because I can write any time I want to (no set hours) and I can pick as little or as many articles as I want to write.

Benefits of freelance writing:

My friend Ariel is a full-time freelancer and even teaches others how to work from home making up to $5,000 a month.

I was a freelance writer in college and loved it! I got paid around $250 per article and it was the best job during college because I got to work from home and write whenever I wanted to.
