Best tool for Web writers - RapidWeaver

Inevitably Web writing involves creating Web sites. If you’re a Web writer but avoid creating sites, then you’re crippled.

Of course, there are lots of free tools available, such as Blogger and Google Sites. But the best tool I’ve ever found is RapidWeaver. Unfortunately it’s only for Macs.

I switched to a Mac in 2005, and found RapidWeaver, which changed my Web writing life.

Just as RapidWeaver Showcase - Interviews - Michael Bay reports:

“It was around the time of his movie ‘The Island’ (2005) that I discovered RapidWeaver. Man, was that a breath of fresh air! No longer did I have to spend an insane amount of time updating the site. I think what sold me on RapidWeaver was it’s compact nature and it’s ease of use.”

Although I create many sites with WordPress, I create most with RapidWever. The first time I used the program I realized that it was just what I was looking for - I could now WRITE sites, rather than concerning myself with the design.

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.

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.
