I’ve started a new Web Writing series on my new site, Writing Hacker: “Web writing: How you can make money writing blogs”:

For freelance writers, blogging is one of the easiest ways to make money writing. Essentially, blogging involves writing snippets - short articles, anywhere from 50 to 800 words in length, several times a week.

How to make money writing for the Web 3: Pro blogging for dollars

September 12th, 2007    Subscribe To Our Feed

Pro blogging - writing blogs for pay, has become a lucrative Web writing field in the past year. Since blogs have so many advantages for businesses and individuals in developing an online presence and making money, pro blogging will continue to be a happy hunting ground for Web writers.

I know you want to know: HOW MUCH? How much money can you make blogging?

There are two ways to make money blogging: blogging for others for pay, and developing your own blogs to earn income. On the lower end of for-pay blogging, bloggers are paid per post about as much as low-end article writing. On the higher end, the sky’s the limit. Expect to be paid anywhere from $1000 to $1500 per week to blog.

The payment you can demand for blogging depends on your skills.

Develop your blogging skills, and make money

Blogging for money begins with your own blog, or blogs. Your blog is your showcase for your skills, it’s also your laboratory. Practice your skills on your own blog, and you’ll attract blogging clients.

Don’t write a blog, write a blook

July 5th, 2007    Subscribe To Our Feed

Want to write a book? Don’t bother. Write a blook. Blooks are a new trend, thanks to blogs, which make Web publishing super-simple and easy.

Here are some links to help you to get up to speed on blooks:

* Blook, Wikipedia article

* “Blooks are in Bloom” - BusinessWeek

* The Lulu Blooker Prize

* “Bloggers Move Into Blooks” - newsobserver.com

Tips to get you blooking

1. Write an outline of your blook, first. Your blook will be instant-published, so you need to know where you’re going with the thing;

2. Decide how you’ll get traffic. You could: post on forums, write news releases, write articles;

3. Will you monetize your blook? Consider advertising, affiliate marketing, etc. If you’re blooking in hopes of traditional publication, hold off on monetizing until your blook’s at least six months old;

4. Set goals for your blook: how often will you post? etc.

Have fun.
