If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Private Label Rights (PLR) content is becoming hot with freelance writers. It’s a great way to earn a dollar a word with your Web writing.

To help you to get started with PLR this week’s article in Fab Freelance Writing Ezine is “How to Create and Sell PLR Articles”.

Here’s an excerpt:

Private Label Rights (PLR) content is hugely popular online. Many Web site owners use PLR content to get new sites off to a quick start, or to create additional pages on their older sites, so that they’ll get more search engine traffic.

So since there’s a good market for PLR, this means that creating PLR is a good way to boost your freelance writing income.

Web writing: contributing to Web publications

August 14th, 2007    Subscribe To Our Feed

With an ever-increasing flow of publications onto the Web, there are lots of opportunities for competent Web writers.

Print magazines which are developing their online venues need competent Web writers, because print writers usually don’t have the first clue about the Web. They look on the Web as a research library, not as a vibrant, living organism. This means that you can join the publication’s stable of writers, and become a regular contributor.

If you have Web writing experience, don’t be shy about approaching print publications to ask whether they’re developing a Web presence. If they have a site, then offer some ideas.

The keyword is OFFER.

Please don’t send your resume. No one cares. Editors are too busy to think about how they might use you. You have to make it easy for them to hire you by offering ideas of what you might do for them.

New online magazines are hitting the Web every day. Most will sink without a trace, but some are well-funded. They have money; they need writers. Again, approach them with ideas of what you could do for them.

You need Web writing experience first

Web writing is all about opportunities. To make the most of the millions of opportunities for writers you need Web writing experience first.

I’m continually shocked at writers who want to write for the Web, yet who have no Web site, and no blog. For a Web writer, a blog and site are not an optional extra. They’re essential.

When you use your own site and blog to experiment, not only will you understand Web writing at a visceral level, you’ll also find that you don’t need to hustle to get writing gigs because people approach you.

So get experience first: with experience, your Web writing opportunities are unlimited.

Web writing - Content is BIG business: follow the money

July 23rd, 2007    Subscribe To Our Feed

Web content is BIG business. As a Web writer, the content you write is making lots of money for people. I hope it’s making money for you too.

If you’re a newbie Web writer, I urge you to learn as much as you can about how the Web works, including:

* The various kinds of Web sites - information, news, opinion, sales, niche, etc;

* How Web sites make money - and how much various types of monetization can earn a Web publisher;

* Where the content comes from on sites - is it new content? Has the content been repurposed? Is it content that YOU could write?

* How you fit into all of this - realize that you can charge as much as you like, if you can turn out great content for Web publishers. Good writers are always in demand.

To give you an idea of the profits Web publishers are making, read “Creating Content For Traffic Generation and Profit”. I got a chuckle out of this snippet:

A workaround is to find new guys on sites like elance, workaholics or rent a coder, who’ve yet to establish themselves and might be willing to do quality work on the cheap in order to build some positive feedback.

If you’re going along this approach, you might like to farm out a batch of 3 articles, and solicit 10-20 freelancers to work on your project. You could then do a ’survivor’ style elimination and work with your favorite 2-3 writers.

There’s competition for good writers, so your aim should be to become a competent writer, and then charge what you’re worth… and you’re worth a lot.

To repeat: web content is BIG business and you need to look at your Web writing as a business too.

If you’re looking at the out-sourcing sites and are thinking that $5 articles are the norm, they’re not. In my ezine and on my sites I keep hammering the fact that you must get known online, and that then you can charge appropriate fees.
