Can I make a living at freelance journalism?

Answer by  ktsmom00 (26)

Yes, you definitely can. The tricky part is getting your name out there, and in the right places for editors to see your work. It can take a while to get established, so you may have to work another job while you are submitting samples of your work to different places.

Not necessarily, because freelance journalism assignments are not always steady. Therefore you may not earn a stable living. It's better to have a regular job in addition to this.

Whether or not you can make a living at freelance journalism depends on what type of lifestyle you have and what your requirements are. You will have to demonstrate your capability and network with companies in order to develop a customer base and find jobs, this can be done via internet or locally in the area you live in.

It would be difficult to make a living until you got to the point at which you were working exclusively for magazines like Vanity Fair/Rolling Stone/GQ and other big payers.
