And there are lots of posts out there. There are actually more posts about freelance writing, than about freelance programming. Whenever I look for articles about freelancing it seems that writers have the top spots in the Google.

In sum, it's a great field. The need for more content is increasing, and if you are good and make a name for yourself you'll make it.

I suggest that you make a goal to write X words a day. Also, writing a book will increase your Authority, and help you get more work.

Keep on writing.
