We posted before about the market for freelancers. As the US faces alarming unemployment rates, many freelancers are prospering, and since work still needs to get done, their is a booming freelance market for some skills. We have met many a former cubicle slave who is happy to be freelancing these days. They may have lost benefits and even some salary, and may have to carry individual health insurance for awhile, but the freedom a freelancer can command is wonderful, and some freelancers do very well.

We found an article in US News and World Report about freelance web writing. New websites are popping up every day, but many webmasters, or the businesses behind them, really don’t have the writing talent or time to keep providing essential content that keeps web surfers coming back. That’s where content providers, or web writers, come in. They charge for articles on various subjects, and I have heard a story where one content provider worked very hard, but took in $10,000 in one  month! Imagine writing for the web and making $10,000! It is unlikely that a beginner can bring in that much money, but the potential is there.
