Freelance

This is a topic that has interested me in the past. Because of the economy and current family financial situations it is something that I am considering again. I started to look for freelance writing jobs so that maybe I could get paid to write.

First thought - this is very confusing.

Where does one start?

How does freelance work?

Is there tax stuff involved?

I found a web site that had links to many options for viewing, both bidding and emailing requests.

I bid on a couple of jobs for writing articles and even a few ghost writing jobs.
