Ask HN: Freelance technical writing opportunities

1 pointsby djkrudyalmost 9 years ago
I'm looking for more information/ opportunities on freelance technical writing. I've recently been made aware of this niche, and was told it would be a good fit for me. I currently work as an engineer in the auto industry, and am interested in learning more about technical writing as a career. Thanks!

This article was excellent and is still freelancing after 10 years.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;jenamiller.com&#x2F;notes-from-a-hired-pen&#x2F;10-years-of-freelancing-one-house-one-recession-and-the-best-job-in-the-world&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;jenamiller.com&#x2F;notes-from-a-hired-pen&#x2F;10-years-of-fre...</a><p>And there are lots of posts out there. There are actually more posts about freelance writing, than about freelance programming. Whenever I look for articles about freelancing it seems that writers have the top spots in the Google.<p>In sum, it&#x27;s a great field. The need for more content is increasing, and if you are good and make a name for yourself you&#x27;ll make it.<p>I suggest that you make a goal to write X words a day. Also, writing a book will increase your Authority, and help you get more work.<p>Keep on writing.
