What is a PG? What are IAS coaching classes? If you plan to write, you need to know that when mentioning something for the first time to those who may not know what you're talking about, you need to write out the names. After saying what the names are (and what they mean, if it's not obvious), then you can abbreviate. To answer your question, the point about "freelance" is that it's not a job. You are your own business, an independent contractor. To get freelance writing work, you send in proposals for articles and other works to the editors or publishers handling the topics you want to write about. Use Writer's Market (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Writers-Market-Deluxe-2009/Brewer/e/9781582975429/?itm=6) to find out which periodicals and book publishers accept what kinds of writing and their rules for submission of proposals and manuscripts. You can also write for small, local newspapers on a freelance basis. You could submit a proposal along with samples of your writing. This may be the easiest way to start. Once you become known, publishers and editors will approach you with freelance assignment offers. There are plenty of books on freelance writing; you should be able to find them at your library. Read up and get to know the business. a minute later: I just realized your question was in the Technology section. If you want to do freelance technical writing for a corporation (for their user manuals, online Help, etc.), you could submit your resume and writing samples for tech writing. Send it to HR or, if you can, to the Tech Writing Department.
