Do you have to have a degree to get an online writing job?

No. You have to be a good writer.

I am a good writer but I am a college student with no degree and I've never published anything. Where do I start?

I have a history degree and I work at a dog kennel attendant

Start publishing work in small journals and reviews. Start developing a resume and body of published work. It’s not too late if you’re actually good.

Sorry sweaty, you must have 5+ years of experience for this entry-level position.

This isn’t true if you have a good enough resume, some connection, and are like able in an interview setting. You can get by with minimal experience if you aren’t an autistic pedant.

No. Jobs are all different.

Most articles are sold by proposal or pitch. You tell them what you want to write, provide a sample, and they pay you a pittance.

I knew a guy who made a living wage writing articles for an online karate magazine.

Persuing an art for profit is a date with failure.
