Great insights here. I've been writing on my own and supporting my family of six for five years now and one thing I would echo from Ana's points: Find what you love to write about and write consistently.
Then have patience.
Finding a way to write for a living is not an overnight outcome. It's not an impossible dream, either. Write what you love, write consistently (four to five days a week), and within six months of writing online you will very likely have the income to support yourself.
