There are many cases when writers wish to publish their manuscripts and
wish to opt for "writing" as a profession. However, publishing a book/novel and
start earning is not as quick as getting wish with the magic wand. Therefore,
freelance writing is an opportunity for them, through which they can earn in
spare time, without leaving their ultimate dream. There are numerous examples
in the western world, where people left their full-time job for freelance
assignment, not only specific to writing, because of the freedom and lucrative
nature. The same trend is now followed in India as well, especially by female
professionals.

Being in the filed of content marketing since last ten years, in many
public forums, I usually come across the question that, how much a content
writer can earn per month? Let me acknowledge that the answer is not
straightforward. Although, as I mentioned above, there are a plethora of
opportunities, there are many challenges associated, as well. With more content
writers entering the market, it is becoming increasingly difficult to earn a
reputation for them. It is especially difficult for beginners to find (reliable)
clients. The earning depends mostly on the skill set, amount of expertise, and
how much time the content writer can devote to content creation. A beginner
writer can earn more than 10,000 INR per month with their any specific and
limited knowledge. At the same time, there is no limit for an experienced
freelance writer who understands the industry requirement and can create a
niche for themselves. So, it is extremely important that the freelance writers
should develop their one niche and acquire in-depth learning in any specific field
