Writers create all of the words you see. When you read the back of a shampoo bottle or a cereal box, you’re reading something a writer created. Somebody writes the scripts that call center employees follow when you contact tech support or request a payment extension on a bill. Writers brainstorm inspirational messages and funny quotes for the wall art you see in homes and businesses.
Writers help everyday people, but they also work with politicians, business owners, and celebrities. Some do this for free, but many writers make a decent living selling content. You can find well-paid writers on Medium and similar sites, but you aren’t limited to online articles if you want to get paid for your creativity. In fact, you can make money writing just about anything these days.
