Congrats on your freelance writing efforts. Hopefully this serves as an inspiration for others that with usual hard work and persistence you can eventually work at home. But like you said you need to start somewhere. Too often people just want to fast fwd to the big money and that's not realistic. Anything that pays you really great money requires a lot of time, effort and experience. Thanks again! By the way I'm so jealous of you. I've traveled to many places and Brasil is definitely on my list of places to go. You're very blessed to live in such a beautiful place. Hi Barbara,

If you're a 20-year experienced copywriter, MAYBE you can earn that, but definitely not as an 8-year old level writer. I'm actually ashamed for companies that run punch lines like these, and afraid for all those people that are desperate for a job, any job, and become prey to these scam artists. I've too been scammed before, so I learned to read beyond the fine print: if it's too flashy, too gorgeous and the nunbers are high and easy: BEWARE. Last month I did what you reccomended: I joined Guru and Elance. 10 days later I got my first small project. 3 days after that I landed the second one, which is permanent, demands about 7 hours weekly and pays my phone and eletrical bills. Freelance writing online does work, but remember that you have to start small like any other career and build on from that. Nothing comes for free, especially 5k a week! Great job Eddy, as always :) cheers from Rio de Janeiro! I couldn’t agree with you more Eddy, I got an email ad from freelancewriters.com this morning and its clearly misleading. 5,000 a week?
