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

Although there a really good freelance writing guide 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. Write articles for website / blog owners

 

 

3. Become a regular writer for offline / online media in various topics

 

 

4. Become a paid blogger using paid blogging services like Review Me

 

 

5. Become an editor / proofreader and help improve someone else’s work

 

 

6. 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. Copywriting is not really a skill that everyone has, or can develop. Every other type of writing however, is a great opportunity for anyone who can construct a proper sentence in English.

Therefore ghostwriting, paid blogging and content writing is what you have to work with.

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.

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 write for blogs, chances are you get a link back to your own site. This helps other people know who you are, and get addicted to your style of writing, ideas, and personality. Writing on blogs or other places where you get credited for your writing is much better in terms of building a long-term career.

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 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 great part of 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.
