Guide to Freelance Writing
Freelance writing help me get a start in my online business. 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 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 posts for website / blog owners
- Become a regular conributor for offline / online media in various topics
- Become a paid blogger using get paid to blog like PayPerPost
- Become an editor / proofreader and help edit 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.
Ghost writing, paid blogging and content writing are what any ordinary joe should focus on.
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 others identify with you and know who you are. For the sake of a career, blog writing is actually much better.
Another way of making money from freelance writing is paid blogging. The basic idea is that you have your own blog, and look for pportunities in paid blogging networks. Advertisers want to get the word out about their products, and they are willing to pay bloggers to write about them on their blogs. Your blog’s popularity and reach determines how much you can charge.
The good thing about this is that technically you own the blog articles you have written, which means you can always earn money from your growing blog with Google Adsense or even affiliate offers.
