Become a Freelance Writing Superstar
Freelance writing help me get a start in my online business. 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. Freelance writing is definitely a good way to earn some stable money.
Although there a really good freelance writing tips available, in this article let me give you and idea of what you can do:
- Gost 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 get paid to blog like Review Me
- Become an editor / proofreader and help improve 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. 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. A lot of content publishers and ebook sellers are on the lookout for ghost writers or ghost writing services.
Writing on blogs and other online media is a great idea as well. If you’re writing for blogs, you have your author credits on each blog post. This helps others identify with you and know who you are. For the sake of your freelance writing career, writing on blogs is actually much better than ghostwriting.
Another way of making money from freelance writing is sponsored blogging. The basic idea is that you have your own blog, and look for pportunities in paid blogging networks. A lot of advertisers want to generate buzz about their products, and they have money to spend too. Your blog’s popularity and reach determines how much you can charge.
The great part of this is that technically you own the articles you have written, which means you can always monetize your growing blog with Google Adsense or even affiliate offers.
