  Commercial or corporate writing for corporations is a big one… see Peter Bowerman’s book which I reviewed at:
  /2005/06/15/commercial-writing-is-a-lucrative-venue/

  I do mostly blogging, with some reporting thrown in for news Web sites and a column for my local newspaper.

  Love the list!

  I seem to have found a niche as a travel writer and blogger about travel though I have written on real estate and education as well.Would love to do more like Grant Writing.

  Hi, I’ve been a home-based direct response marketing copywriter for 21 years … I’d also add resume writing to the list!

  I guess you can put me down for blogging. That makes up about half my income these days. The rest comes from non-blog websites that are based around niche articles in the home and garden area. Well, mostly home… gardening is for people who go outside. ;)

  Thanks for stopping by Home Biz Notes, Lindsay, and sharing with us what you do for writing. It’s interesting that so many writers are finding the Internet a more lucrative means of earning a writing income than in the print world nowadays. We have to be willing to embrace change if we are from the print world. Also, some writers nowadays have started out on the Internet.

  Thanks you, Roberta, for stopping by and letting us know about the type of writing you do. Copywriting and resume writing often area areas that writers don’t think about.

  Thanks, Anjeeta, for sharing your multiple writing interests - travel writing, real estate and education. And you’d like to know more about Grant writing. Perhaps someone who does grant writing can let us know about resources for it.

  Incidentally, I had a stint into real estate writing many years ago. I wrote ads for a local real estate office and filled in as secretary one day a week.

  Thanks for sharing, Miranda. You have a varied writing career, blogging, news writing, and column writing. What is your column about?

  I’ve enjoyed column writing for many years on various topics. My first column…and current one…is “Country Kitchen” for print newspapers. However, one of them is posting online as well.

  Anne, yes, corporate or business writing often pays better than many other writing opportunities. Thanks for reminding us of this.
