Freelance writing help me get a start in my online business. 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. 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 guide available, in this article let me give you and idea of what you can do:
- Become a ghostwriter 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 sponsored blogging 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. Copywriting is another highly paid skill that requires creative thinking and therefore it not really in the reach of most people. If you can write a proper sentence in English, most other types of writing is good for you.
Therefore, you should focus on ghost writing, content writing and paid blogging.
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.
Writing articles and web content for blogs / websites is another great opportunity, plus in most cases you also get a “byline” 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 your freelance writing career, writing on blogs is actually much better than ghostwriting.
The final type of freelance writing you can do is paid blogging. Basically, you setup a blog and start writing from “paid blogging” opportunities. Advertisers want to get the word out about their products, and they are willing to pay bloggers to write about them on their blogs. How much you can charge for each article depends on the reach and popularity of your blog.
The great part of this is that technically you own the content you have written, which means you can always earn money from your growing blog with Google Adsense or even affiliate offers.
