Freelance Writing Guide for Newbies
by guest on Sep.22, 2009, under Blog
I started off my online marketing career as a freelance writer. Although that was more than 3 years ago, my freelance writing gigs helped me quit my full time job and launch my Internet marketing business as well. You should try freelance writing as a way to get 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 content for website / blog owners
- Become a regular writer for offline / online media in various topics
- Become a paid blogger using get paid to blog like PayPerPost
- Become an editor / proofreader and help finalize 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. 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. 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 lot of content publishers and ebook sellers are on the lookout for ghost writers or ghost writing services.
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’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 get paid to blog. The basic idea is that you have your own blog, and look for pportunities in paid blogging networks. Advertisers want to create buzz about their products, and they will pay you to participate in doing it. The popularity of your blog determines how much you earn per post.
The good thing about this is that technically you own the articles you have written, which means you can always earn money from your growing blog with Google Adsense or even affiliate offers.
