Income From Home
Writing for companies and individuals is a great way to make a solid income from home, but you'll have to mind that you'll generally have to write non-fiction. While you may notice a job here and there that calls for a unique genre, steady income in other areas will be hard to find.

The great part is that if you are devoted about writing non-fiction and finding work on-line, then you will have lots of opportunities at your fingertips.

You can divide your options into 2 general forms of non fiction writing: writing for print and writing for the web.

When you write articles for print publications like magazines and papers, you call that "writing for print". Most writers set out by submitting queries, normally a resume and a pitch for a story idea to smaller, local publications that have limited appliers and less rivalry to new writers to deal with. Many of these small publishers are also happier to give fresh writers a opportunity.

The disadvantage of writing for a publishing company is that you often have to submit different queries, if not dozens, before you even get a reply and seeing a paycheck can take months. For moms working at home, this situation just isnt achievable and so they turn to the Internet to get started.

Comparing to working for publishers, writing on-line is much different. There are good chances to get started out and you can start seeing payments shortly after you determine that writing is what you require to do.
