April Joy Garbin is no stranger to writing articles and meeting strict deadlines. After all, she was a writer for her school's student paper when she was in college. Her experience and innate interest in writing has helped pave her way to pursue a home-based career in writing.

Perks of Being a Writer

The flexibility of her job as a freelance writer allows April to be active in clubs and organizations that she is a member of. Her job also allows her to earn money without compromising her ability to pursue other career opportunities that require her to work full time.  What she likes about being a freelance writer, according to her, is she gets to choose what topics to write about. She also considers her pay as rewarding because she gets paid for every article that she submits.

How April Started Her Home-based Writing Career

April started working online in 2010 as a news contributor for a blog network Allvoices. According to her, she found out about home-based writing jobs when a friend, who knew that she loves to write, referred her to apply to Allvoices.com. April currently works for Essays.ph, a writing company providing articles for US and UK based clients.

Advice for People who Want to Write from Home

Asked for her advice to people who want to work as home-based writers, April says it is imperative to find a legitimate home-based writing job website. She said that writers should be particular about salary payment methods because there are websites that only pay if you reach page view quotas rather than pay you for writing the article itself. She recommends Essays.ph because the site pays for every approved article that you submit and there are no registration fees.
