Web Writing — How to Get Started and Make Money

October 16th, 2008    Subscribe To Our Feed

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

Want to make some quick cash? If you can write, you can make money writing for the Web. There’s a hunger for information online — if you can feed that hunger you’ll be well paid.

Assess Your Skills: What Can YOU Write?

Your first step is to assess your writing skills. What can you write, that Web content buyers will pay for?

If you’re writing marketing collateral in your day job — press releases, product descriptions for catalogs, advertising — these copywriting skills are all transferable to the Web.

Yes, you’ll need to discover how Web copywriting differs from writing copy for print, but you already have basic skills. You just need to get your name out on the Web, and create some initial writing samples, so buyers can see what you can do.

Perhaps you’ve never been paid for your writing skills at all. In that case, you’ll find that building a great Web writing career is easy, if you follow several simple steps.

Here they are.

1. Create a Blog — a Blog Is a Fast-To-Create Web Site

A blog is fast to create and it achieves a vital goal for you: it gets your name out on the Web.

Important tip: use your own name as the title for your blog; don’t make up a name. Your aim is to create a brand: to become known as a Web writer.

Please remember this — it’s vital. In your first few years as a Web writer, you must focus on branding yourself. If you choose a cute or clever title for your blog you’re wasting an opportunity.

2. Post Content to the Blog — Every Post Is a Writing Sample

The more you get your words online, the more buyers you will have. If you skimp on writing, you’ll always be hunting for Web writing jobs, rather than having buyers approach you.

Important tip 2: you have a choice online. You can be a price taker (when you hunt for writing jobs) or you can be a price maker when buyers approach you, and you tell them what your fees are.

3. Advertise Your Writing Services on Your Blog

When you get your “name” blog online, and consistently create content for it, buyers find you. Ensure they know that they can hire you, by mentioning it on your blog posts. Don’t be shy about this — talk about your writing skills and the fact that you’re a writer for hire.

Web Writing - Turn a Web Site Into a Business

August 4th, 2008    Subscribe To Our Feed

Creating a Web site has never been easier, but can you turn a Web site into a real business? If you have some writing skills, you can. Let’s look at how others are doing it.

Richard started a small Web site to raise money for his local football team. Within a couple of months he got traffic and enquiries. He was amazed at the response, and started another site for his hobby of buying and selling on eBay. Within six months, this site was earning double what he was making at his day job… it had turned into a viable business.

When Penny took leave to have her baby, she quickly became bored, and started a “mommy blog.” She never went back to work. She quit her job when her son was three months old. She’s amazed at how quickly her simple blog turned into a business.

She said: “I never expected to make any money with blogging, it was just a way of filling time and sharing the cute stuff I was buying for the baby. Now I’m doubling the site’s income every month, and I’ve had several enquiries to sell it, but I want to see how much I can actually make with this blog.”

When Jim took a digital photography course, he wanted to share his images with family and friends, so he started a digital photography blog. Within the first week, he got three orders for prints, which he filled. He said: “I wanted to say that I’m not a photographer, that this is just a hobby - but I came to my senses and sent out the prints.”

Jim started taking more photos, and the more he put online, the more he sold. People hired him, and bought his images for advertising purposes. Now he’s making more from his site than he is at his day job, Jim has handed in his notice. He’s also started another site with digital photography tutorials, and is happier than he’s ever been.

When you have a Web site, you have an audience of millions all over the world.

Can you turn a simple Web site into a business? Why not try, and find out. You may be amazed when your small Web site changes your life.

Make money writing Web sites

If you can use a word processor, you can write Web sites.

Many writers shy away from creating Web sites… they imagine it’s too techy, too complex. It’s not. A small simple site can begin earning money for you very quickly. As a rule of thumb, if you’ve created a site in an area in which there are advertisers you can start earning five to ten dollars a day per site. Now $10 a day isn’t much. But what if you had ten sites all earning $10 day? That’s $100 a day, which is $36,500 a year, just from ten simple sites. What if you had 20 such sites, all earning you $10 a day - or even more - in fact, some sites will earn you $100 a day? “Super-Fast Money-Making Web Sites For Writers: Join The Web-Publishing Bonanza” shows you how.

Writing Web sites for fun and profit

One of the easiest ways to make money Web writing is to create Web sites, and then to monetize the sites in various ways, such as by selling affiliate products on them, sell advertising, or selling your own products.

For example, you could create a travel Web site. No need to travel if you don’t want to - create a site about your own city. You live there, you know all about it.

There’s money in travel. Create a site, create a guide; make money.

For example, Technorati Founder Dave Sifry Takes On Travel Guide Industry reports:

“Think Lonely Planet travel guides, except they are created on the fly from Internet data sources, customized to you personally and then delivered via PDF instantly or (a color printed version) by mail within 4 business days.”

Many writers are creating Web sites, and making money from them.

I’ve got a lot of Web sites. I create them whenever I become enthusiastic about something. If the enthusiasm doesn’t last, I sell the site, as with this site:

I LOVE creating Web sites. It’s fun, it’s easy - if you can use a word processor you can create a site. I’m on a Mac, so my site-building tool of choice is RapidWeaver, but there are plenty of great site-building tools for the PC. You can even use free tools like Blogger: a blog is a Web site, after all.
