What kind of writing do you do?

Thanks to everyone who emailed about these discussions. I’m so glad you’re enjoying them.  I was talking to a brand new writer today and she had questions about the different types of writing, what they entail, and whether or not they’re lucrative. Since I get a couple of thousand visitors each day here, it struck me that there are a lot of different types of writers stopping by.

Which leads me to my next questions...what kind of writing do you do?

As you know, I am a professional blogger. I didn’t always do this, however. I started out as an Editorial Assistant at a New York City publishing house and did a little writing here and there for some of the magazines we produced. Nothing with a byline, but it was great practice.

When I began working at home, I did both web and print writing, I even had a weekly newspaper column. A little over a year ago, I dropped my last print client and focused on web writing and that evolved into blogging.  In addition to my own blogs, I blog for several different companies. Some you know about, some you don’t.  I prefer this type of writing because it allows me to inject a bit of my personality and there aren’t as many “rules.” In fact, I’m even earning more money doing this than I ever did writing content or newspaper columns.

So how about you? What kind of writing do you do?

If you find my work helpful, please consider buying me a cup of coffee (or tea).
