Is Freelance Writing Your Cup of Tea?
My online marketing career started off with freelance writing. Although that was more than 3 years ago, my freelance writer gigs helped me quit my full time job and launch my Internet marketing business as well. You should try freelance writing as a way to get cash flow.
Although there a really good freelance writing guide available, in this article let me give you and idea of what you can do:
- Become a ghostwriter for other people’s books and ebooks
- Write posts for website / blog owners
- Become a regular columnist for offline / online media in various topics
- Become a paid blogger using get paid to blog like PayPerPost
- Become an editor / proofreader and help proof someone else’s work
- Become a web copywriter and charge for every web copy written
Being an editor requires more of a critical eye and amazing grasp of grammar and writing styles. This is a skill that even some world class writers don’t have. Since copywriting involves a lot of creative thinking, you may not be able to get opportunities easily. If you can write a proper sentence in English, most other types of writing is good for you.
Therefore, you should focus on ghost writing, content writing and paid blogging.
Ghost writing can potentially add between a few hundred to a few thousand dollars into your bank account every month, but the flip side to this is that no one will ever know who you are or appreciate the work you’ve done. A lot of content publishers and ebook sellers are on the lookout for ghost writers or ghost writing services.
Writing articles and web content for blogs / websites is another great opportunity, plus in most cases you also get a “byline” for your work. If you write for blogs, chances are you get a link back to your own site. This helps other people know who you are, and get addicted to your style of writing, ideas, and personality. For the sake of a career, blog writing is actually much better.
Another way of making money from freelance writing is paid to blog. First, you set-up your blog and then you look for opportunities to write paid blog posts. A lot of advertisers want to generate buzz about their products, and they have money to spend too. The popularity of your blog determines how much you earn per post.
The good thing about this is that technically you own the web content you have written, which means you can always earn money from your growing blog with Google Adsense or even affiliate offers.
