Niche blogging and proactively seeking clients seems to be working for me as of late. I also use some of the techniques Carol Tice writes about in Make a Living Writing (http://www.makealivingwriting.com). It's a great blog for freelancers who are unsure of how to market themselves :) I haven’t advertised one bit, unless you count business cards.

Unfortunately the comments are screened, but only because I haven't been able to figure out how to fix that on Wordpress lol. As for writing professionally, as long as you have a computer, internet connection, and determination it can be done! :) I’m glad you like the blog!

In any case, as I was saying, I really really love your blog. Came across your site thanks to 20sb and it could not be more fitting for my situation right now. Almost graduating, have no idea what to do, need to start thinking seriously about money, etc. I so badly want to write professionally (and make some money), and the path you've made for yourself is really inspiring. So, thanks! Hmmm, not sure if my first attempt at a comment disappeared or if it just requires your approval first, but if this is a repeat, please feel free to delete.

I seriously could not have happened across this site at a better time. (Found you on 20sb.) Your determination, skills and plain old boldness are really inspiring and make my soon-to-be post-grad life not so intimidating. Some of these side businesses are really tempting. I've considered advertising my proofreading/editing skills in the past and may end up doing it. And I might have to invest in these finance-related books you're talking about. Actually, no, I'll save my money (ha!) and ask for them for Christmas. Thanks! Oh, hello, I LOVE your blog. I seriously could not have happened across this site at a better time. (Found you on 20sb.)
