Jobs in Finance That You Can Do From the Comfort of Your Couch: Become a Freelance Financial Writer

Freelance writing is on the rise with demand expected to grow six percent between 2010 and 2020. Finance writing is a booming area which requires more specialized knowledge than penning human interest stories or entertainment pieces. Your experience in the finance world makes you perfectly poised to beat out your competition and take on these roles.

You’ll be paid accordingly for your knowledge, with financial writers often commanding several hundred dollars per article. Some finance writers find they can easily make between $70,000 and $90,000 annually, without ever getting out of their pajamas. You won’t need to eat into that salary with additional business costs either, as writers need little more than a computer and internet access. To command the top pay rate it pays to have a master’s degree in journalism, economics, finance, or management behind you.
