The information on this page for the
FabJob Guide to
Become a Technical Writer, a 102-page ebook that will show you how to
succeed as a freelance or staff technical writer.
Get Paid to Write How-to Information
Imagine
having a rewarding high-paying job that lets you use your
creativity and writing talent to help people understand how to do
something. As a full-time or freelance technical writer, you will write
instructions to help people use a product or service. Listed below are
some examples of the many interesting projects that technical writers are
involved with. Which of the following can you imagine
doing?
- Writing
user manuals that describe, step-by-step, how to use anything from
computer software to cars to kitchen appliances.
- Writing assembly instructions for toys,
furniture, and other items.
- Writing
procedures manuals for businesses. For example, you might write a
company's human resources manual to explain procedures for employees to take time off, get reimbursed for expenses,
etc.
- Writing online help documentation. When
people need help using a software program they can click the Help button to get
answers to their questions. (To see an example of help documentation, click on
"Help" at the top of your Internet browser.)
- Writing for the Internet. You could
write web pages describing a company's services or explaining how to use the
web site.
- Writing training
manuals.
With advances in technology, there are more
opportunities for technical writers than ever before. These opportunities
pay well. Technical writers surveyed for a Technical Communicator Salary Survey
earned an average full-time salary of over $60,000, while those working as
freelancers were paid an average of more than $50 per hour. (Hourly fees
typically range from $20 to $75 per hour depending on the employer and
project.)
