Summary:
So many people would love to try freelance writing, but just dont know where to begin. Ive broken the process down to small steps that anyone can follow.

Details or Sample:
Spend some time figuring out what you"re good at. Maybe for you, like for me, it will be a fairly easy process: look at the job or jobs you"ve held in the past and what you"ve learned from them. Look at your education and the other experiences you"ve had. Make a list of the areas in which you"re qualified to write. Think about the areas in which you give advice to friends—that may help point you in a direction. Maybe your background has prepared you in an academic area: you"re good at a branch of science or you"re a whiz at history. Maybe you"re a trivia buff. Maybe your talent is for research; given a topic, you can hit the internet and come up with a variety of sources backing up an idea. Whatever it is, you"ve got to discover what you know before you can write about it.

Your next step is to decide who wants to know what it is you already know. Again, for me the transition was fairly easy; there aren"t too many people out there who want to solve quadratic equations or do a geometric proof! I turned to educational software people. But whatever it is you know, someone else wants to know it too; you just need to find those people. So, if it"s academics you know, look to textbook and workbook publishers, educational software and online tutoring. If you"re good at research, look at the article writing sites—there are a lot of them out there. If you"re a great organizer, maybe you want to look at magazines. If you"re a great storyteller, consider children"s magazines. Maybe you"re good at developing children"s games or at shortcuts to housework. It"s going to take some thought, but the people you want are out there—you just need to find them.
