Finance Your Writing Habit

I know many writers who finance their fiction writing habit by freelance writing. It doesn't take long, and can easily earn $50 - $100 a week by just filling in a few odd moments here. The most popular method is joining a writing agency and bidding on work.

Another method is Paid Posts. A small, a writer will get paid to blog on topics they choose. Fiction writers shouldn't get into the big agencies which hijack a blog. Instead, they should work for a company like Smorty, which lets them pick and choose the posts they want to write.

There are several benefits to this type of writing. First, the writer can feel like a real writer. They are now paid to write. They are published. They can express their creativity.

I have worked with smorty for more than nine months. It takes about 2 - 4 hours a week, and can earn up to $100 a week, depending on the advertisers.
