Writing for $$$
I'm curious. Do any of you get paid for writing? If yes, what do you write?
I met a lady at a party this weekend. She said she just got a job as a writer for our state's tourism office. It made me wonder, what kind of writing jobs are out there?
With all of the time we spend writing on this board, shouldn't we get paid for our brilliant and humorous thoughts?
Challenge: Find 3 ways to get paid for writing (can be anything from a blog to a scientific journal). Post writing jobs that you find interesting. Include the details - company, project, pay rate, any special requirements.
Bigger challenge: Take a writing job (can be a one time deal or ongoing). Link us to your fine work.
Biggest challenge: Start a house-on-the-beach fund

Re: Writing for $$$
I get paid to mark students' writing... but that hardly counts!
I wish I got something for writing, I really, really do.

With your background, something like this might be a good match. I don't know if it is legit. I'm just googling around looking for interesting writing jobs. $20/hr would fluff up the house-on-the-beach fund

I am the editor of two newsletters for the organization that I work for...one is quarterly and the other is biannual, so in a weird way I guess I am paid to write. I always have a "letter from the editor" type column in these newsletters and often write music education articles for them as well. I also write sidebars and ads.
I'd love to find a way to generate some extra cash from blogging...any idea how to do that?

It appears that you make $$$ from blogging if you have ads on your blog or generate business for someone else. I have seen some that take donations (Lord knows how they set up a business to do that). Otherwise, I don't think you get $$$ for your awesome blog. I could be wrong.
I did most of my writing as an employee. I was a marketing director for over a decade. I wrote newsletters, press releases, web content, brochures and created their advertising. During that time, I was not allowed to do any freelance writing. In college, I wrote movie reviews for a small film magazine. It was fun, but more dimes than dollars. I don't know what kind of writing I want to do now. I just feel like writing.
