A friend of mine used to work as a director in a hi-tech company. He is a computer professional and also enjoyed writing on a freelance basis. After he retired a few years ago, he decided to become a full-time writer. He has successfully published several books. His books sell well in Amazon.
Yes, you can make a career out of freelance writing, I know many people who are doing it professionally. It requires you to be well connected in order to get clients and jobs regularly. Most people start by taking courses then working with agencies and other professionals who have established themselves in that field. Then eventually, you can venture out on your own and have your own clients.
One goal that you should have as a writer is to try and have a bestseller. With that, you would just make so much money from your book and enough royalties to outlast your life.
