Freelance Writing

All kinds of freelance writers are employed to perform writing duties. The pay is variable, and it’s one of the more flexible travel telecommuting jobs. Some of the writing involves articles that are published online or in print. Copywriting and ghost writing are also common.

What is the pay for freelance writing?

The amount that writers can earn depends on their project, niche and how many words they write. If you are able to find a niche that you know well, establish yourself as a specialist, and have repeat customers, then you will be paid more. A new writer without experience and subject knowledge may find it difficult to gain clients or get paid.

Travel blogging is something I do occasionally, and I have found it difficult to find higher-paying travel writing work (as much as 50 cents per word).

Technical or Medical Writer

Technical and medical writing is a separate category from freelance writing, because it pays more and requires different skills.

Before I started blogging, I was a technical author for more than 10 years. Over the past three years, my work as a writer was mostly done online while our family travelled around the globe.

The technical writer creates user guides, training manuals, and other materials on scientific or technical subjects.

Technical writers are usually university graduates, though it is not necessary, particularly if they have experience or education in science, technology or medicine. You’ll also need to be able to clearly communicate technical information. In most cases, a certificate in technical writing or technical communication or training is required.

You can find technical writers in IT, pharmaceutical, scientific journals and other companies that require professional training materials or documentation of standard operating procedures.

What is the payoff?

Technical writers typically earn between $30 and $50 per hour. However, if you possess a specific skill set you may be able to earn even more. When I left my job as a technical writer six years ago, I earned over $70 per hour.

It takes a long time for most bloggers to earn enough money from blogging. It takes about one year for most people to earn a real income from blogging (by real we mean $1,000 USD per monthly). Many bloggers have stopped blogging because their costs outweighed their income.

Travel blogging can be a difficult task. We know this from our own experience. It is important to be able to write and edit, maintain a website, design it, build a brand and have a good understanding of social media.

My own experience in the field includes some day trading and options buying and selling. Trading is a skill that requires practice and development. It will take you a lot of practice (as many as thousands of hours). There are still computer algorithms which are so fast you cannot even compete, particularly in the options trading.

Beware anyone who claims otherwise.
