    Heller everybody! :slight_smile:
    So a little fact about me, I LOVE writing. I get compliments on my stories and poems all the time and it's really sweet. Now, I also consider myself an "entrepreneur" and love making money haha. So I was wondering, how can I combine them?

    How can I use a skill such as writing to, well, make some extra cash haha

    Thanks :slight_smile:

    You could become a journalist, or submit articles on a freelance basis. You could publish your work in magazines or newspapers, or even anthologies. You could charge for writing for students (essays and such). And of course, though I feel compelled to point out that it is harder than you might imagine to make money this way, you could write novels, and publish them.

    Edit: Try an ad-assisted blog.

    You could possibly try writing things and maybe try submitting it to local papers or magazines etc.. It could be that you might wanna get into journalism or that kind of area.

    Depends on what kind of writing you like to do. As boring as it is, software programmers are ALWAYS looking for people to write user's guides for them.

    If it's non-fiction that you like, start a blog and have some advertising on it.

    Writing is great! If you just want a fun sideline, you could always look at getting your work published or even self-publishing with something like lulu.com, and just promoting your book to friends and online. :slight_smile:
