Move beyond the obvious...dream a little
I tend to start with the creative aspect: writing. I’m mostly in it for the story, or the poem that transends the word. The fun,yet hard work stuff. Research used to be my next flair. Discovery and organizing critical thought jouneys. I’m less proficient at journalism. I used to be a pretty good copywriter.
I also have not developed an outstanding writing career. Mostly because I chose different directions. In today’s marketing frenzy and changing mediums, writers have many more options to publish their work. Yes a few diligent people with great networking skills and contacts will land the big contracts. However many witers have discovered that the internet provides a multitude of avenues to publish your work and make oodles of money.

Sporadically I will address each subject listed above. I also welcome your input, especially your stories. Any one making $30,000 a year as a writer online? Talk to me.
As you begin your writing venture consider 2 objectives: first can you develop part of your business around something that you love? Though it need not be a full blown niche category, pick a topic that you’d never get tired of writing about. Then create a flow chart with the ways that could make you $$$. Core: blog, affiliate earning related, articles, and ebook, a short book that would work on a publishing site, products that relate to your topic, multiple places where you can sell variations of the original article.
Second look for opportunities where you can take assignments. My attitude due to career experiences and being able to do research sithat I can write about almost anything. I can learn about a topic, interview people if needed, find resources and write. MY passion in this case is the writing. My mind like a cat harbors a hefty appetite for curiousity.
By combining your inherent talent, desire, and passion you most likely can create a flow chart filled with options and opportunities. Once you’ve completed this assignment, you are ready to begin the search. As most writers realize, concurrently, research, research, research.
