First answer this: Do you have experience with either? Are you well skilled with either field? If your answer is no then getting a job will be next to impossible. Writing and photography are two highly competitive fields where you have to be outstanding in order to be successful. If your skills are mediocre, your portfolio is minimal and/or you have no publishing credits getting a job will not happen. Freelance writing I can say from personal experience is a challenge. You can query individuals or small businesses who may need writers but the odds of landing a steady gig are usually small. I have a web site up and over seven years of experience writing at a professional level and I still struggle. With photography, I am just starting to break into it (only 5 months experience using my DSLR and teaching myself new tricks daily) so I have a long way to go. Slowly working on building my portfolio and trying to get better with each shoot. All a work in progress. Examine your skill set, experience, and what you have to offer your clients. If you are still lacking in more than one or two areas then your best bet is to work on correcting those before offering your services. Freelance writing isn't as easy as sitting in front of your computer in your pajamas. Trust me, it's a lot harder than that. EDIT: Ugh. How rude. Is a cowardly thumbs down really necessary? Whomever is doing it, GROW UP
