Jerry, I hope everyone who reads this gets inspired to WRITE–I don’t care where they do it! I’m continually frustrated by the mythology that keeps good writers from believing they can make a living doing what they were meant to do.

You know I think you hit it on the head there, isn’t that what the internet was origonaly intended for, sharing information with each other? I hope everyone that reads this gets inspired to write online.

This is an eye-opening post. I haven’t thought about freelancing in this context before. Like you say, I only consider subjects that seem like ‘lightbulb moments’. Thanks for this perspective. Great advice.

Great ideas Tiffany! Many would-be or fledgling writers lack the necessary confidence to take that leap of faith and express themselves in writing.

I have found that an article written with passion and belief, regardless of length, is a far better read than one written otherwise.

There are so many things to write about in everyday life. These often will grip the reader because they can easily identify with these everyday topics.

Great post, Tiffany. I always advise people to start with what they know, and your post gives some good concrete examples of that.

This is a great article. I’ve got ideas for new blog posts coming out of my ears, but more than just provide ideas, this article gives info about angles that the writing can be done from thus, giving the writing more value.

Good stuff!
