Super Fitness Health BlogHow to Be a Freelance Writer
My online adventure began with freelance writing. 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. 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 articles 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 Review Me
- Become an editor / proofreader and help brush up 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. 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 make a pretty amazing sum 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 exposure helps you gain a pretty loyal following. For the sake of a career, blog writing is actually much better.
Another way of making money from freelance writing is sponsored blogging. First, you set-up your blog and then you look for opportunities to write paid blog posts. 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 demand per article written depends a lot on the popularity and traffic of your blogs.
The good thing about this is that technically you own the blog articles you have written, which means you can always make income using your growing blog with Google Adsense or even affiliate offers.
