    I have tried to evaluate the objective “Make a living writing” as a Blogger or a Freelancer. From this specific perspective, I feel a person has to develop following qualities/competence. 1. A person needs to choose specific field of global interest or subjects for writing ‘Article’. 2. Comprehensive study to be made on the specific subjects chosen. 3. The contents of ‘Article’ should be unique & capable enough to draw the attention of the huge customers for whom the article has been written. 4. The ‘Article’ should be written in powerful & lucid language which can meet the expectation of all types of customers. 5. The person needs to develop his conceptual/knowledge base on the chosen subject through continuous study/research to keep himself updated for providing feedback to the client.

    Interesting, but it is not really a question that anyone can answer for you. The only way to make a living from writing is to write. And that is not something that can easily be taught, it is largely a matter of ability. You also need to choose a subject that is likely to appeal to a wide readership. If you are thinking of writing technical books then you need to choose a subject that has not already been covered extensively. You also need to read the existing books to ensure that you are not just duplicating what is already available.

      I find basic similarity between your latest remark on the subject and my last reply. Your rich profile establishes the fact that you are a professional as a programmer. So as an expert, you can confidently write creative article in the related field which can easily draw the attention of interested client/readers. I’m a professional in shipping. I have obtained this professionalism through working in the field for long time. I have developed website on shipping:

              I would add to what been mention here, to have sales skills, which can help with the 'make a leaving' part. I know plenty of very skillful writers which can't make a leaving and a bunch of mediocre ones who can. The difference focusing mainly of how well they sold themselves and networked with people. So when their skills were needed people knew to contact them

                I believe the best quality is meeting deadlines, apart from that actually researching the topics you're asked to write about would be of vital importance.

                  I like your comment. Actually to make a living writing, one has to develop the skill of writing through continuous practice, to have command over word power, to enrich power of imagination through reading everything that attracts him mind & curiosity and above all intensive study on the topics on which he wants to write some article of unique nature. Dedication and perseverance are essential qualities necessary to become an expert blogger or writer in any field. Thanks

                      Well, after first looking at your post I would consider grammar to me of utmost importance. I would also suggest writing for the country you are from. Most people I have outsourced to don't know of the subtle nuances that come from the USA. The same would be true if I were to write for another country. My American accent wouldn't sound quite right.

                          This qualifies you to write about politics and economics. ;P

                              I am sorry, but this site deals with programming issues. You need to try a site that provides advice on marketing and selling.

                                Copy writing is a good way of starting out. It gives you the experience of writing in lots of different styles, and allows you to practice writing to deadlines. Then you can figure out what it you specifically want to write about?

                                      And why are you telling me the same thing again? I suggest you spend some time learning what this site is about before posting irrelevant messages.

                                        Your posts were delayed in being posted because they went into the "Spam Moderation" queue. That is where the automated systems on the site (the "hamsters") detected certain phrases that might have indicated the message was spam. Messages like that go into a special area visible to Site Protectors to be checked over by a human. I read both your posts and decided they were not spam and "let them through" - unfortunately as I said, there was a delay. Sometimes people post things again because they assume the first one didn't work, I think that is what happened here. Just letting you know as I've seen your "Hello, I'm new" post, so hello, and welcome to CodeProject.
