Be able to write story or article or book that people find interesting and sell them to publisher. there is a book on what different type of story, publisher like to buy.You could write thing and then be you own publisher and try selling you story on line..

Writing is only part of a freelance writer's career. You must also spend a lot of time marketing yourself and your work, paying careful attention to business details such as quarterly taxes, and staying ahead of ever-changing trends in all areas of publishing. There is also the matter of intense competition from many thousands of other writers, but don't let that stop you. Contact your local newspaper or magazine and ask if you may submit a completed article "on spec." This means the editor is under no obligation to pay you for your work, but is willing to read it. Make certain you peruse back issues of the publication first to confirm that your idea has not already been covered

What is the going rate for a freelance graphic artist


What is the going rate for a freelance graphic artist?
I am doing a freelance job for a guys starting his own business. He wants me to tell him how much it will cost him for me to do rough idea sketches to start out. then after we brainstorm with those he'll pay me for the finished product. I usually don't do this so I'm not sure what to charge him. I want to tell him what to pay me per step of the design. (note: I have to design several versions for T-shirts, bumper stickers, signs, etc.)

It is always a good idea to charge the brainstorming hours. For example, logo design is $300 (not sure the price, but check around, and depends on your degree). Client needs to pay for it first. When you come up with the design at first draft 3-5 designs (black & white), then 1/3 of it is NOT refundable. Then you will work on the colors and final version. Nothing will be refundable if you got the colored version. Final, cut him a CD with color code in CMYK, RGB and AI, PDF. JPG with font information. Never send him any "printable" file, always email pdf or jpg. not the 300dpi.

Look around at your competitors for similar things in your area. That'll give you a base to work from
