Writing What I Want

Even though I'm done with college, graduating didn't give me automatic success or financial stability--not that I thought it would. So I'm still looking for new and interesting ways to make some extra money while I hold out for my dream job.

So far, I've tried GradeGuru and ChaCha. But, lately, I've been looking for a job that allows me to write from home. That's when my sister told me about Textbroker.com. This is a website where clients can request various writing projects from adds to articles. My job, as an author, is to write according to their instructions.

So far, I'm very pleased with Textbroker.com. I can earn twice as much in a week as I did working for ChaCha. I get paid 10-17 cents a question at ChaCha, I make 2-5 dollars an article with Textrboker. More importantly, I'm doing something I like to do--write! Because I'm a fast writer, I can write up to three articles a day. Therefore, I can make 20-50 dollars a week if I get ambitious, which I may considering my hours have been cut at my "real job."

What I like most about Textbroker is that I get to choose what I write. The assignments are separated by categories (I choose most of my writing assignments from the hobbies category). I don't have to write anything I don't want to. So far, I've written about origami, interior decorating, and how-to articles, including how to tell if your boyfriend is married. That was a fun one.

The editorial staff, as well as the clients, send feedback from time to time. I've been elevated to a class 4 author, and I've recieved high marks and praise for my writing. This is just the sort of online job I've been looking for: one where I can get paid to write without leaving my home.
