Your age doesn't matter, however young or old you are.
Where you live doesn't matter, whether you're in a big city or out in
country somewhere.
>> 3. You can get started without giving up your day job.
You don't have to give up your job to get started. Plenty of professional commercial writers earn their salary and then do a little 'moonlighting' on side. But even if you are employed in an unrelated profession, you can still do some writing when you're not at work.
>> 4. A good economy or a bad economy. They are both good for freelance writers.
When economy is roaring, there is always plenty of work for good freelance writers. Companies have more writing work than they can handle with their own staff.
But here is magical part: even when economy goes bad, and companies are laying off employees by thousands, it's still a good time for freelance writers. The more employees that companies let go, more dependant they become on outsourcing their writing needs to freelancers.
When times are bad, this is a wonderful position to be in. Nobody can fire you, and there is always some work out there.
>> Concluding thoughts.
If there is a better way to work from home and make good money, I haven't come across it. Even if you don't have any commercial writing experience right now, you can still learn and still start earning some extra money.
