 Technical writing requires the ability to write clearly, plainly, and accurately about extremely complicated material. If you can do that?and quickly?then becoming a successful technical writer is well within your grasp.
The most common clients for freelance technical writers are educational firms, training companies and manufacturing/electronics/software companies. All of these demand a high volume of documentation-style writing, and thus a high volume of technical writers to produce that writing. However, the nature of technical writing indicates there aren''t many opportunities outside these industries. Tech writing is only warranted when there''s something sufficiently complex to explain in a standardized way, and a mom n'' pop software company may not have the money or the need to hire even an entry-level tech writer. So if you want to freelance as a tech writer, you''ll almost certainly wind up working on contract for one of the bigger companies. |

 If you have specialized knowledge other than how to be a great writer, then technical writing may be for you.
Technical writing combines your writing talent with a specific area of expertise, such as IT, graphic design, education, engineering, the automotive industry, etc. You could be writing for others who are already familiar with the field, or you could be writing to teach others.

 Resume writing may not seem difficult for a writer like you, but for the average person it can cause serious anxiety attacks. Resumes are a job seeker''s first impression at a potential new job ? so he wants to get it right. Many people (rightly) don''t trust their own abilities to prepare a great resume, so they hire a freelance resume writer to do it for them.
Resume writing can earn you anywhere from $30 to $300 per resume, even if you''re a novice. No, it''s not a typo, and it''s not a bad chunk of change for one or two hours of your time! |
