Freelance writing help me get a start in my online business. Although that was more than 3 years ago, my freelance writing gigs helped me quit my full time job and launch my internet marketing business as well. I highly recommend everyone who can write, or want to write, to get a few writing gigs as a legitimate and sustainable way to improve your cash flow.
Although there a really good freelance writing tips available, in this article let me give you idea of what you can do:
- Ghost write for other people’s books and ebooks
- Write web content for website / blog owners
- Become a regular colun writer for offline / online media in various topics
- Become a paid blogger using sponsored blogging like Review Me
- Become an editor / proofreader and help brush up 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. Not everyone has this specific set of skills. Due to the fact that copywriting is a very technical skill, it tend to be out of reach for most people. 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 help you earn a good amount of money, 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.
Getting credited (and perhaps a link back to your site) is a great reason to be writing for blogs and other similar online media. If you’re writing for blogs, you have your author credits on each blog post. This exposure helps you gain a pretty loyal following. 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. Advertisers want to create buzz about their products, and they will pay you to participate in doing it. Your blog’s popularity and reach determines how much you can charge.
The plus side to this is that technically you own the blog articles you have written, which means you can always make money using your growing blog with Google Adsense or even affiliate offers.
