Like Derek, I agree about sticking to subjects you have an interest in, even if you are quite knowledgeable about a topic, if you have no interest in it, it would be extremely boring to write about everyday.

Like you, I can now say that I am a freelance blogger working with Wendy. My other two blogs are owned and operated by me so I don't really consider that freelance blogging, although it does bring in a little money. I'd like to reiterate your point about picking topics that are interesting to you. If you try to chase the dollar, you will likely find it very difficult to maintain the quality of writing necessary.

It was my blog that actually got me into freelancing in the first place. It all started when I was approached to write a review and had the gall to ask to be compensated (and they agreed!). I have a steady job now, but I still write the occasional review/endorsement on my site. I think the blog provides a great opportunity to someone (like me) just starting out.
