I started my writing career about six years ago. I made $60 that first year and even though that doesn’t sound  like a lot, I was really encouraged. Back then, there weren’t as many opportunities online for a writer so I was targeting print magazines mostly. My income has increased since then.

If you are just starting your career, take heart. It is very possible that you’ll make a lot more than $60. In fact, you may even make $60 before the week is through depending on which route you take. For example, if you want to make money writing for clients by finding them at places like oDesk , you could secure your first assignment in no time at all.

But I often think about what I’d really do differently if I were to start my writing career today. So, I wrote a  blog post at Path to Success about it. My biggest mistake was in waiting. I did A LOT of research before I actually took action. This held me back in the beginning. Just jump in!
