How to Earn a Living from Freelance Writing

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. Freelance writing is definitely a good way to earn some stable money.

Although there a really good freelance writing 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.  

     

  3. Write articles for website / blog owners
  4.  

     

  5. Become a regular colun writer for offline / online media in various topics
  6.  

     

  7. Become a paid blogger using sponsored blogging like PayPerPost
  8.  

     

  9. Become an editor / proofreader and help proof someone else’s work
  10.  

     

  11. Become a web copywriter and charge for every web copy written
  12.  

     

 

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. 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.

So lets talk about those other types – ghostwriting, paid blogging and content writing.

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 big market of ebook publishers are looking for ghost writing services.

Writing for blogs or other online media is a good idea since you usually get credit for your work. If you’re writing for blogs, you have your author credits on each blog post. This helps other people know who you are, and get addicted to your style of writing, ideas, and personality. It’s much better for your career if you write on blogs or anywhere else where your name is published.

Another way of making money from freelance writing is get 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. How much you can demand per article written depends a lot on the popularity and traffic of your blogs.

The great part of this is that technically you own the blog posts you have written, which means you can always earn money from your growing blog with Google Adsense or even affiliate offers.
