2. Freelance Writing

Freelance writing is a great way to earn a little extra cash – especially if you get into commercial copywriting (i.e. writing for businesses and corporations). You could also blog or pitch pop culture websites and the like – the scope is almost limitless!

Bear in mind, however, that competition is fierce right now, as a lot of people turned to freelancing when the recession hit to earn some extra money on the side. But quality writing never goes out of style, so if you’re good and you’re persistent, you WILL find work. Websites like Fiverr.com are a great way to get started.
