Ed Finkel, a freelance writer based in Evanston, Illinois, who has been working from home for nearly six years, says he came close to earning $50,000 in his first year. "I think $50,000 is definitely doable. It's more doable for someone who has had more jobs and is out in the business for a while. It's just like any profession where it's better to work for a while and build up some subject matter expertise," he explains. According to Finkel and Zbar, freelance writers should be flexible about taking on a variety of different assignments -- but also specialize in an area, such as public policy, technology, or education. It's akin to being a generalist and a specialist at the same time.
