Writing as a hobby it’s great but if it can be enjoyable and at the same time bring in extra money, it would be just great! People have suggested blogs as a starter, but I’d like to know how to make this happen.

You should take a look at elance.com. This is a great website where people post jobs for anything from packaging and website copy to mechanical engineering. As a writer, you can sift through jobs you feel qualified for and bid on them.

Good luck!

Perhaps you could develop a number of informational products that target a particular niche industry (or hobbyist), margins can be very high if you target a relatively untapped niche.

If you have a technical background, try sending a flyer to the small to medium software companies in your area as they will always be looking for technical writers to work on a freelance basis.

All the best.

Blogs are an excellent way to begin, create your platform and start uploading your work! You can create memberships so people who want to access to a section of your blog have to sign in and pay. It’s very easy and pay pal will do all the work for you. Also creating a newsletter that you send via e-mail with a particular writing and you submit it, let’s say monthly, and people have to pay to get it.

Another way is to sell ad space and get some ROI from that.
