Very interesting.

Do you have tips on how to get started with freelance writing?

RomanWanderer ... there are plenty of resources on freelance writing on the web. For a start, you will probably need to build a portfolio for yourself. Try posting some of your writing samples on the web. Sign up with sites that list contacts of freelancers and writers. A good portfolio will require published works. Begin by volunteering to write for free. Contribute articles to publications. Look out for publications that need your area of expertise. Write on subjects you are most familiar with and are competent in.
