Freelance Writing; Writing Articles Pays $1500 Every Week

Kerry Mulherin
Getting paid to write articles has helped me earn plenty of money from home. I finally figured out some keyword choices which have been extremely profitable of late, and I am now consistently getting paid around $1500 per week for writing short articles and product reviews!

A typical day in the life of this writer has improved greatly over the past few months. Here is an example of my schedule for an average Saturday; I drew my income out of the bank and spent all morning shopping for new shoes. I love to shop for fresh new linen more than anything else, but I did that last week and have enough linen now to furnish three more homes....back to the shoes though, I could not decide which pair I liked best, so I bought the sexiest seven pairs of Oscar De La Renta peep-toe pumps and thigh boots I could find. Now I am exhausted; shopping makes me hungry! Hubby and I decided to go to lunch in a very exclusive steak restaurant in the city. It was a one hour drive to get there, but the new Lincoln runs like a dream, so it could not have been more pleasant, despite the weather today.

After arriving home, I decided to spend some time making a list of the things I will need for my trip overseas early next month. I am anal about list making, and I like to start ahead of time so I do not forget to take the most important things. Besides, I have better things to spend my hard earned writer's income on, than replacing items I neglected to pack. I will be in Australia for a few weeks of their summer season, so I may need to go shopping for some cute swimsuits to take along.

Tonight we are considering dining out locally. The country club has a fabulous restaurant, and rubbing shoulders with other influential people in the community might be good for business. Besides, I do write business and product reviews for a few already, and those pieces generate around $150 each. I think I will call and book some golf time before we sit down to dine on the Chef's selection of Maine lobster, oysters and shrimp. I would be annoyed if I missed that delicious lobster for the fifth time in one month!

It's now 3p.m. and I cut myself short on time, so I better call to cancel golf for this afternoon. Since I only had to write for two days last week to pull a paycheck, I got a bit lazy and took a nap on my exquisite new studded leather club lounge. I bought it three weeks ago, and love to curl up there with a good book for a couple of hours every day. Besides, it has been chilly, and the imported sheepskin blankets are delightful to cozy up in, without the need for an excuse.

Freelance writing is an awesome career, and I recommend it to anyone. I was asked to speak about it at a local career expo next week, and accepted the invitation too. That call came in this morning on my new iphone while I was at the shoe store, so I might need to go shopping again Monday for a Dolce & Gabbana suit so I look the part.

Well my friends, that is a typical day in the life of a freelance writer. The pay is excellent, there are no end to the incoming assignments you will have to pick and choose from, and your time is your own after you earn as much money as you need for a particular week.

I am off now to sip on a pre-dinner martini, with two olives. I hope I have given you all some incentive to press on until your income and lifestyle is every bit as awesome as mine. There is only one thing about being a freelance writer which is terribly annoying though........it is now 6.am. and that bloody alarm just went off !

    I think it is funny that some of the those commenting here didn't realize this piece is written under the 'Humor' section of AC haha.

    I can tell, you write way, way faster than I do. Somehow my editing and re-editing eats away my average hourly pay.
