"How to make money writing for the web"

This brief and well put together piece by Matthew Stibbe was very informative and was one of the good examples of Web writing that he mentioned in his piece. It was impressively easy and interesting to read even though it was mostly broken up into bullet points and did not present many novel ideas, I did not feel like it was only telling me what common sense had already provided me with. While I was never planning to write for a living, I could see this even being a great past time with the right skill set. I do not think of myself as a strong writer in this sort of field but with practice, the type of practice he lays out as a battle plan, I could see myself attempting to do this as a side job regardless of what I do with my future. This form of writing for a living is appealing because it is completely controlled by you. I feel like this is a hard business to begin and would require a supply of savings to carry you through even up to a year before you have enough clients and are well known enough to be making a living doing this. I always have a hard time visualizing myself being able to be successful in a writing career but Stibbe points out some interesting facts that if you have the talent, it is easy to find clients based on the question "are you happy with the copy on your website?" The web is such an important feature today in terms of advertising and having a fully functioning business that people are willing to go to outside sources to ensure that their site is promoting them in the best way possible.
