I've been freelancing for fourteen years, but on a part-time basis. There just isn't much money in it. Instead, I found a full-time copywriting job to pay the bills. I do freelance just for some extra cash and to keep my clips updated. It's fun, but it's not going to make anyone rich. Amen, brother.
