One of the most in demand work from home jobs is that of a writer. One who can write articles well of many topics are hired to promote ads. It is in this way that the writer and the companies earn.

I am not a very good writer of articles so I don't write quite often for submission

However, I would like to know who among us here (i assume many of those who posts are good writers) are actually doing some writing jobs.

I actually came to the net in 2000 because I was an aspiring science fiction/fantasy novelist.

Now the net is my day job, and I still haven't finished my novels!! Ironic, really.

Really, ironic, indeed! However, you are still a writer as it is not easy to be able to write in forums. You also need to be good in it.

IT's just a shame I never seem to find the time to write any books these days, though.

My problem with writing is that I always expect a master piece or something completely new and original. 99% of the web is just repeating what others have said. I've got to get it out of my head that I've got to be super original in order to write well. A lot of it is just in how you say it...does it keep the readers attention. It doesn't have to be new.

If you can write well and you are very good at something (anything) then the web is a great place to have a day job.

you're right! carjam, i am with you

i have noticed that some articles are actually just 'rewritten' and most of them done by 'ghostwriters', i know this coz i saw lots of job offers on these jobs but i like it better to have an original piece, it would be easier for me to do that, however, i always run out of the best words that would greatly describe what i want to say, <sighs> i just lack some creativity in writing and i know i need practice in it

true, the net has a huge resource of job links for writers... but not for me

i am a freelance writer so i have the luxury to work at home and that is exactly what i do--write articles for a great fraction of my day. i also write poems during my free time and update my 2 blogs at least once a week.
