There are multiple ways to
make money writing, but
what does it take to turn
freelance writing into a
career? With a little
imagination and
determination, anyone can
get paid for writing
depending on how
consistent they are with their
efforts. Using writing
opportunities to earn a full
time income is not as easy as
it seems but it is possible.
Breaking into the writing
industry- The online writing
industry is definitely easier
to make money writing. In
the past, writers had to write
inquiries and contact
numerous publication
companies before even
being considered for a
writing job. Most of the time,
these writers would have to
wait months and months to
hear back from an editor.
Even then, they would be
turned out. This is where the
phrase, 'Hungry Writer' came
from, as back in the day, most
writers were living on
pennies just making ends
meet.
There are multiple ways to
get paid for writing. One
method is by selling SEO
articles. Keyword optimized
articles are very popular
because if they have the
right keyword density, they
can get you a lot of traffic.
One SEO article has been
known to get people over
400 views! Website owners
like using keyword
optimized articles because
they are a cost-effective way
of advertising/marketing
their goods and services
without paying for
expensive PPC or other
advertising gimmicks.
The way to look for these
clients is using free classified
ads, forums and social
networking sites such as
Facebook and Twitter. Make
sure to offer well-written
writing samples and/or a
portfolio to links of your
writing. Webmasters are
known for paying up to $50
for a well-written SEO article.
With a little practice and a
client list, freelance writers
can make well over $100 an
hour just from writing short
ezine articles.
Another way to make money
by seeking writing
opportunities is to surf the
online writing job boards.
There are not that many that
are reliable, however there
are a couple that have real
clients looking for decent
and reliable American
writers. If you are an
American writer, this can
work in your favor, as
Internet marketers are tired
of paying for articles with
poor English and grammar.
Other ways to hunt for
writing jobs is using the job
search engines like the one
found on Indeed.com. Simply
type in, 'Freelance writing
job' or other relevant
keywords and sift through
the different writing jobs.
If you don't have a lot of
experience writing articles
online, that is usually no
problem. All you have to do
is write a good article free of
grammar and spelling errors
and publish it on a website.
Article directories and blogs
are perfect for using as a
writing portfolio. This will
also protect you against
fraud and theft, as the client
cannot steal the article
because it has already been
published, this making you
the rightful owner. These are
all great ways to make
money writing.
