Between 7 and 8 billion greeting cards are sold every year in America. Seeing as I have probably wasted close to a solid year of my life standing in the card aisle looking for one that doesn't make me gag or choke, it amazes me to discover that about 235 greeting cards fly off the shelves every second. That's a lot of sweet/sappy/funny/clever verses to be written, and it turns out that about one-third of them are composed by freelance writers. So if you think you can produce something more touching, unique, or hilarious than most of what's out there, check out the writers' guidelines available on many greeting card Web sites.
What You Get: From $35-$150 per card (usually around $50).
