Make Money Writing Articles Or
Web Content
- What
is the
one
thing
that
everyone
is
looking
for when
they go
online?
You’ve
got it –
information.
And if
you can
supply
it in
all
kinds of
shapes
and
forms
then you
will be
paid for
doing
so,
which
could
lead to
a whole
new
career
as a web
writer.
- Of
course
it isn’t
just
online
markets
that
need
content;
there
are
hundreds
of other
markets
you
could
break
into as
well,
including
magazines,
but
overall
it is
the
internet
which
offers
the best
opportunities,
especially
for the
beginning
writer.
- So
why
should
you
start
online
when you
want to
earn
money
writing?
The
reason
is
simple –
it isn’t
just
editors
that
need
your
work.
Website
owners,
people
with
newsletters
that
need
writing
and
countless
others
all have
writing
jobs
that
they
can’t or
won’t do
or don’t
have the
time to
do
themselves.
- That
generally
sends
them
scurrying
to
websites
like
Elance
and Get
A
Freelancer
to find
people
who will
write
the
articles
and
content
they
need for
them.
There
are plus
points
and
negative
points
to
writing
for the
internet;
you
won’t
often
see your
work
published
under
your own
name as
you will
usually
be
ghostwriting
it for
someone
else,
but you
will get
a lot of
work
since
jobs
quite
often
come in
batches.
You
won’t
often
get just
a single
article
to write
for
instance
– you
might
get a
half
dozen,
ten,
twenty
or even
more, so
the
money
can soon
mount
up.
- The
best
places
for
finding
work are
the
aforementioned
sites,
but you
should
also
look on
classified
ad sites
such as
Craigslist
for jobs
in your
own
country
and in
other
places
around
the
world.
There
are also
plenty
of
writing
related
websites
that can
easily
be found
via the
search
engines
if you
look for
‘online
writing
jobs’ or
something
similar.
Don’t
forget
blogging
jobs as
well; if
you have
your own
blog
then you
already
have
experience
in
blogging,
so apply
for as
many as
you can.
Ongoing
blogging
jobs are
great
for
bringing
in a
regular
stream
of
income.
-
Getting
started
and
building
contacts
is the
hardest
part. Go
for jobs
you feel
confident
in doing
to begin
with;
after a
while
you will
pick up
speed
and
complete
them
faster
and much
more
easily.
You will
soon
learn to
juggle
your
work as
well in
order to
meet all
your
deadlines
before
they
fall due
– this
is an
essential
skill
you will
need to
develop
in order
to
position
yourself
as one
of the
best in
the
business.
- You
could
also
work for
a
ghostwriting
team if
you
prefer;
these
can also
be found
via the
search
engines
and a
simple
email
should
reveal
whether
they are
accepting
new
writers
at any
time.
This can
make
life
easier
since
you
don’t
have to
go
looking
for work
all the
time –
it is
generally
supplied
by the
team
leader,
depending
on how
that
particular
team
works.
- But
can you
really
make a
full
time
income
by doing
this?
The
answer
is yes
you can,
but
speed
and
quality
are of
the
essence.
If you
produce
good
work
then
people
will
naturally
come
back to
you for
more of
the
same.
They
will
also pay
more for
work of
a better
standard,
so make
sure you
don’t
put
yourself
down
with the
$2 an
article
crowd.
- It
will
take
time to
build up
enough
work to
be able
to leave
your
current
job and
start a
brand
new
career
as a web
writer,
but
there is
no
reason
why you
shouldn’t
be able
to do
this if
you
persevere
and keep
checking
the
classified
ad sites
and job
boards
every
single
day.
Don’t
wait to
apply
for jobs
either –
do it as
soon as
you see
them
appear.
Getting
in early
can make
all the
difference
in some
cases.
- So
do you
think
you have
it in
you to
be a
writer?
If you
do there
is a
huge
market
out
there
just
waiting
for you
to dive
in. Just
remember
where
you came
from,

Make Money Writing Ads For Products And Services
- Some people are naturally
more attuned to making money
online, purely because of
the 24/7 nature of being
able to do it. If you know
what to do you can be making
money right round the clock
just from writing a few
simple adverts.
- What’s
more, you don’t need a lot
of money to get started (you
can actually control what
you spend right down to the
last cent) and you can go at
your own pace. The secret to
success is in knowing which
products and services to
promote to earn the money.
- Every day there is a
group of people who are
making money from writing
small adverts for the
products of their choice.
This is actually quite an
easy task once you know how
to do it, and the great
thing is that you don’t
actually have to physically
sell anything yourself.
- So how do you get
started? The key is to join
a website which offers lots
of affiliate products all
under one virtual roof. The
best two online today are
Commission Junction (this
gives you access to promote
a wide range of products and
services on all kinds of
subjects) and ClickBank
(which concentrates more on
digital products).
- These are both free to
join and once you have done
so you can promote any
number of products via
writing short adverts
through Google AdWords and
similar programs.
- While you can advertise
anywhere, Pay Per Click
programs are the best to use
since you don’t pay anything
unless someone actually
clicks on an ad you have
written. By getting to know
exactly how these programs
work and reading through all
the information given on
these websites you will be
able to get the best results
from every ad you place.
- You can also drive
traffic to the products you
are promoting by building
websites and writing adverts
to place on these too. The
trick is to start small and
see where you go from there.
PPC advertising can be
expensive if you dive in
without doing small tests on
products to see how well
they work first, so be
careful and choose your
first few products carefully
before diving in the deep
end.
- The best strategy is to
set a specific amount of
money as your ceiling each
day. For example you could
say that you won’t spend
more than $5 over all the
ads you choose (although
obviously with a budget this
low you wouldn’t be able to
effectively promote more
than two or three products
or services at most). Make
sure you keep accurate notes
as to which strategies work
better than others, and
which ads need some work.
- The one thing that
attracts people to making
money in this way is that it
only takes a few minutes to
write each advert – but the
long term benefits can be
enormous. You could still
earn an amount of money from
an ad you wrote months ago,
so the more adverts you can
eventually create the better
the results will be.
- Don’t just pick the
products that you personally
would like either. Take the
time to discover which ones
will be more popular with
other people, as you might
miss out on a lot of sales
if you only concentrate on
the things that you would
like.
- So if you’d like some
practice at writing short
adverts for all kinds of
products and services, head
over to ClickBank,
Commission Junction and
Google AdWords now to see
what you think. And don’t
forget to leave us a comment
below to share your views on
this great way of making
some money online!
