Many writers are already earning regular income from writing on blogs, providing web content, finding freelance writing jobs, submitting to review sites and publishing articles. Some of the more unusual sources for writing income can be very profitable. Writing about a personal interest, using inside knowledge, or professional experience, can lead to regular paid work, because a specialist writer can provide a very useful service.

As a writer you can come up with your own unique ideas. Here are a few that have already been a success for specialist writers:

~ Menus and Restaurant Guides

A writer with culinary experience and knowledge of restaurant terminology provides a very useful menu and food writing service.

Many restaurant owners need to have a well written enticing menu to show their customers. Some will need a good descriptive listing in local information guides and tourist brochures. Mouth watering descriptions of special dishes may be needed for a restaurant website.

~ Writing Family History and Biography

A family history and biography writing service provides true life stories of ancestors, correctly put into context, based on evidence from archives, official records, and from personal interviews with older family members.

There has recently been a rapid growth in popularity for tracing ancestors. Writers can use any information gathered from genealogy sites, and from software specifically designed to help people create a family tree.

A unique historical account can be written and set up as a family website, or made available in digital form so it can easily be printed out. A biography or story of a previous generation could also be mailed out, printed and bound, with extra copies available for each family member.

~ Writing for Weddings

A specialist speech writing service for weddings helps couples to express in words the love they feel for each other, in their own special wedding vows.

A writer can provide an entertaining speech for the best man, and an appropriate toast to the bride and groom. This service can be advertised and promoted in magazines for brides, and on wedding planning sites.

~ Resume and CV Writing

A writer with knowledge and insight constructs an interesting and impressive resume, based on someone's previous work experience, qualifications and personal attributes.

Resume writing is a very useful service, for which there is always be a demand. Presenting a brief work resume, or a comprehensive Curriculum Vitae, is a requirement for anyone seeking employment.

All these methods will help niche writers to be found and accessed by anyone searching for their services.

Working as an expert writer, based on a personal interest or previous work experience, can be very profitable. It just takes a little creative thinking to find unusual sources of writing income.
