How Much Can You Make With Freelancing


Freelancing is where you either write or do some other work for another person. This can range from anything like writing short articles to lengthy e-books as well as blogging and using social media to help drive traffic. It is a great way to earn some fast money online until you can get your own web sites up and running.

The amounts that you can make depends on several different factors such as the length of the projects, the person you are working for as well as the type of work. Most freelancers make anywhere between 10 to 20 dollars an hour, and some even make a six figure income in a year. That is a lot to money to be made in one year. 

If you have to do a lot of research for your writing then you will not make that much, but you can still make a comfortable living even if you have to spend a couple hours every day researching. To make the most of your research you can write for several different people using the same research.

Additionally you can also use that same research for yourself to use on your website or to submit to writing platforms where you can earn a residual income for many years to come. This should be your ultimate goal as you may get tired of constantly writing and researching for others, plus it will give you time and the freedom to enjoy a lifestyle of your dreams.  

The amount you can make also depends on how fast you can type. Taking the time to invest in a typing course like Mavis Beacon or any other typing course will be time well spent. Even if you are able to type 60 words per minute you should still take the time to learn how to type faster because your goal should be to be able to type at least 100 words per minute. 

If you are working for someone who has a lot of work and pays well you can even hire others to do some of the smaller jobs and give them a cut of your paycheck.

So if you enjoy writing and don't mind the fact that it involves many hours, then freelancing may be something you will enjoy for many years to come. The best part about freelancing for others is that you set your own hours and work when it suits you.
