Freelance?
All this info is great but I am confused how do you get started freelancing to make money?  I am trying to find something to make some income to retire by but HOW do I do it?

That Sounds...
...like a lot of work for relatively little reward - and there's nothing coming in when you go on holiday, or if you get sick.

I've been freelance for four years, and my writing earnings are relatively small compared to my other activities.

I'd always recommend multiple income streams wherever possible.

Dances,
OMG...Sounds all so familiar. Why on earth is it so hard??? Wouldn't it be nice if we could just write without the factor of money being involved ? Writing itself is great, but when you freelance for money it is so uncertain...unstable...I hate that. Yeah, you can make a good $1,000.00 on an article to Babytalk...but, how often is that likely to happen ? OMG...Now I'm gonna go on a rampage looking for new markets. It is so frustrating at times !!!

I plan to make money that's for sure. I'm not sure how much, or when it will all begin to flow my way, but I am good at planning!
