Article Writing – 3 Reasons Why I Do Article Writing

Introduction
With today’s economy, people are looking for ways to supplement their income. We look for another job but do not want to leave our home for another job; we want to stay with our family as long as we can. Or maybe we are retired and have already done that 9 to 5 routine and want to set our own hours. Or just maybe we want to stay busy and learn more.
Well if all this fits you then you may want to look at Article Writing. Here are three reasons why I do Article Writing.
Supplemental Income
I am retired and on a fixed income. With today’s economy and the cost of fuel, food, health care and everything else going up, I need to find ways to bring more income in to my household. Article Writing is a great way to do it.
I set my own schedule and make money even while I sleep.
Keep Active
Being retired, you have a lot of time on your hands. If you do not keep active you can lose some of your mental capabilities. By staying mentally active you keep your brain sharp. By doing Article Writing you keep your brain mentally active and you stay mentally sharp.
Also since I set my own hours, I can also decide when I want to do physical exercise. So not only do I remain mentally active, but also I can remain physically active also.
Learn More
When you do Article Writing, you write about what you are familiar with. Starting off I wrote about items I was familiar with and would be of benefit to other people. For example, I lived in Alaska for six years and found there is a big difference between living in the lower 48 and Alaska. So I wrote many articles on the differences in life styles between Alaska and the lower 48.
Once I exhausted that subject, I looked around for other subjects to write on. I usually pick subjects that I am somewhat familiar with and want to learn more. For example, I have an enlarged prostate and wanted more information on this condition, much more than what my doctor told me.
So I did research on this subject and wrote articles on what causes it, how to prevent it, the symptoms, how common is it, controlling the condition and other topics on this condition.
Conclusion
Article Writing can supplement your income and also keep you mentally and physically active. One additional benefit is you can learn more (never stop learning).
