Step 48

My online marketing career started off with freelance writing. Although that was more than 3 years ago, my freelance 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 and idea of what you can do:

 

 

1. Gost write for other people’s books and ebooks

 

 

2. Write content for website / blog owners

 

 

3. Become a regular columnist for offline / online media in various topics

 

 

4. Become a paid blogger using sponsored blogging like PayPerPost

 

 

5. Become an editor / proofreader and help finalize someone else’s work

 

 

6. 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 not everyone, even world-class writers, possess. Due to the fact that copywriting is a very technical skill, it tend to be out of reach for most people. Every other type of writing however, is a great opportunity for anyone who can construct a proper sentence in English.

For ordinary joes, focus on the remaining types of writing namely ghostwriting, paid blogging and content writing.

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. In the Internet marketing world, lot of information marketers are constantly looking for someone who can help them write ebooks, instruction manuals and other types of documentation.

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 write for blogs, chances are you get a link back to your own site. This gets you more exposure than you can dream of, especially if the blog gets a lot of traffic. Writing on blogs or other places where you get credited for your writing is much better in terms of building a long-term career.

Another way of making money from freelance writing is paid to blog. The basic idea is you set-up your own blogs and start accepting writing offers in networks like Pay Per Post, Review Me or Sponsored Reviews. 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 web content you have written, which means you can always earn money from your growing blog with Google Adsense or even affiliate offers.
