I am delving into freelance writing to make a little cash on the side, but mainly to start getting in the habit of writing because I am in the process of writing college essays and AP English is going to start soon (school starts in less than a week!). Associated Content is pretty good because the pay is not too unreasonable for cash on the side and expressing your opinion about a variety of topics.
