Writers beware, scammers are everywhere!

Writing.

Once you've written something you want to publish it.

There are too many predatory websites out there, that may or may not have your interests at heart. Some will outright steal your stuff, others will never pay, or give you very bad conditions.

Also, steer clear of 'Vanity Press' outfits. Real publishers never ask you money to publish your works!
