Originally, the studios were aimed at a somewhat sophisticated audience, meaning that quite often the greetings were rather risque.
The best money is in studios (those long, slim cards that pack a humorous hello). (The money’s not that good.) Still, the constant flurry of $10, $15, and $25 checks you’re likely to receive as a part-time card poet can pay the rent (and then some), if you’re able to churn out fresh ideas regularly. I don’t know anyone who’s become rich - or even comfortably well-to-do - as a freelance greeting card writer. Please let me qualify that statement about the “good pay” just a bit. Make Extra Cash by Writing Greeting Cards When I found out how good the pay was, I immediately decided that I met both requirements. Well, as I’ve long since learned, most greeting card publishers rely on freelancers to supply most of their ideas … and the only qualifications needed to become one of those freelancers are imagination and a sense of humor.
But who are those people? And how did they “break into” card-writing? Obviously, there’s money in the card business … and whoever writes the verses and gags that appear on these preprinted missives must be getting a piece of the action. Step inside a drugstore or gift shop and take a look at all the greeting cards.
