Want to make a great part time or full time income online? Write articles for the Web - there’s a huge demand, which will only increase as the Web environment becomes more competitive.

How to Get Started - Follow Tamira’s Example

When my friend Tamira took maternity leave from her marketing job she became very bored very quickly. She started a blog, writing several articles a day to post on her blog.

She was amazed when her blog started to earn a small income, and investigated the blogging environment, soon discovering that many people were prepared to pay her for writing articles to post on their blogs and Web sites. So, she charged a small fee for writing articles, just to see how the process worked.

Then she set up her own Web site, and offered article packages, which she advertised on her blog, which was getting more traffic every day. She posted testimonials she received from her buyers on her site, and made sales.

Fast forward to her son’s birth, and she had the glimmer of an idea. She didn’t want to leave her baby and go back to work… could she turn articles into a full time business?

Making a long story short, she could, and she did.

Article Writing Money Making Tips

There’s an insatiable appetite for content on the Web, because content brings traffic, and traffic makes sales for all Web sites. Articles are a prime form of Web content.

Here are some tips to help you to make money:

* There are three main methods to making money by writing articles - write them for yourself, to get traffic to your own sites; write articles for others; and write articles to promote products, as an affiliate marketer. Which method will work for you? Give them all a try.

* Some kinds of articles pay better than others. Generally speaking, selling packs of articles - five, ten or even more per package, pays better than selling single articles.

* Get some article-writing experience on the out-sourcing sites. You can turn articles into a profitable full time business, once you have experience. You won’t be paid much on the out-sourcing sites, but you will get priceless experience.

* There are many formulas for writing articles. Many depend on keywords. Learn as much as you can about keywords, but remember that you’re writing for readers first, rather than the search engines.

* You need to promote your article writing services - get a site and blog, and learn how to get traffic. The more traffic you get, the more money you will make.

* Writing articles isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme. It’s a way to build a solid business, with minimal startup costs. Your business will build, as you write articles, and promote your business. As with all business, the more time and energy you spend on it, the more your business will thrive and prosper.

Freelance Writing - Five Tips to Get Writing Jobs Via Your Web Site

June 29th, 2008    Subscribe To Our Feed

Want more writing jobs? You can have them when you make the most of your writer’s Web site. In this article, you’ll discover five tips which will help.

As a freelance writer, you have unlimited opportunities to turn your writing skills to profit and make a great income.

However, I teach writers, so I know that getting writing jobs is often a concern, both for new writers, and those who are established. It shouldn’t be. Your writer’s Web site will help you to land all the writing gigs you want.

Here’s how to make the most of your site.

1. Add More Pages to Your Site

The more pages on your site, the more chances people will find you. So add pages to your site - the more the better. Each page is an opportunity to grab traffic from the search engines, and traffic means writing jobs.

2. Add Your Location to Every Page on Your Site

Even though the Web is global, people think local. Editors, publishers and other clients feel more comfortable dealing with a local, so add your city, state and country to every page.

As an added bonus, the search engines use geo-targeting, so when someone who’s local to you types “writer” or “freelance writer” into a search engine, your site, or rather one of its pages, may be the first offering on the results page. Voila - instant traffic.

3. Promote your Site, Online, and Offline

Promote your site in any and every way you can. The more promotion, the more traffic. The more traffic, the more income… You can get free advertising via the online classifieds, but there are many other ways to promote your site.

4. Use your Site as the Hub of Your Writing Life

Think of your site as the hub of your writing life. Add magazine proposals you’re shopping around to the site. Add book proposals. Add information on what you’re currently working on.

The more pages, the more traffic. Remember this, and prosper.

5. Join Social Networking Sites - Add a Link to Your Site Everywhere

The “social Web” is a boon to writers. Join networking sites, like Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. Add links to your site, or sites. Any traffic you get is wonderful, and the longer your site is online, and the more links to it, the more traffic you get and the more writing jobs you’re offered.

Your writer’s Web site is the most important tool you have to ensure your writing success, and a wonderful income. Use your site - treasure it, and you can turn your writing into a great home business.
