How To Start Earning By Writing Articles
If you want to make money by writing online, there is one thing you absolutely need to know
You must know that..
There are essentially 3 ways to make money online writing:
- Open a Blog
- Create a customer list
- Register in a marketplace
If you are new to my blog then I have to tell you that my favorite way of the ones listed above is:
THE BLOG
as I always say “Blogging is the weapon of the free revolution”
Blogging is one of my favorite ways to make money online and it is also the most effective way in the long run as well as being the most valuable method.
But Jean why do you say that blogging is the most effective and most valuable method?
I’ll explain it to you right away!
When you start a blog you are not creating your own space on the web, with your personality and your rules
but above all you are creating an asset that is destined to increase in value over time
Having your own customer base and writing for others is also a very profitable and safe way to make money by writing
profitable and safe because when you write for someone else it often happens that the company you work for falls “in love” with your way of writing, your style and the tone of your writing
and once a tone of voice and a style become part of a company it is difficult to separate the two
What about marketplaces instead?
There are several marketplaces that allow you to make money by writing
marketplaces are web platforms where it is possible to exchange one’s work for remuneration
these platforms can be considered as the testing ground for “web writers”
many web editors, columnists, content creators … use these platforms to improve their skills as writers, to see if their works are appreciated or to create their first customers
instead The content marketplace is a web platform that allows customers to find web editors for the production of digital content
Web Writer
The web writer is a professional who specializes in the production of digital content for himself or for his clients.
The web writer work in the content marketing sector which is the part of Marketing that deals with the creation of content with the aim of advertising, promoting products , attracting new customers and increasing sales
the web writer takes care of the creation of the contents and their drafting
his specializations are copywriting and SEO
the content created must be able to convince customers and help them understand promotional messages and understand the benefits of the products
Ghost Writer
the ghost writer is a professional author paid to write books, articles and official documents under the direction of another person
often also referred to as a ghost writer or shadow writer, it responds to the market demand of those people who want to create written content but who fail
due to a lack of competence or due to a lack of time
ghost writers are usually Freelancers and can earn a decent amount of money
in general, a ghost writer can earn between $3,000 and $12,000 for writing a book
obviously these prices depend on many factors: the reputation of the ghost writer, his experience, his writing quality, etc.
ads for ghost writers can be found on marketplaces such as Fiverr
How to Make Money Writing Articles Online
The best way to make money by writing is …
BLOGGING 🙂
the figure of the blogger has always been a figure much underestimated by the general public
Ok, I have to admit blogging is not for everyone , there are many hours spent behind the MacBook writing 🙂
but if you are a person who wants to get out of the work system that the world imposes on us and create a life and a job tailored to you then you should definitely consider throwing yourself into this new world
the world of blogging !!
in recent years the figure of the blogger has become more and more professional becoming in recent years a real job
there are many ways to make money with a blog and once your blog is online, other infinite possibilities of collaboration with other brands will present themselves in front of you
How to Make Money Writing: The Blog
The main way to make money with a blog is by affiliation
What is affiliation?
Affiliation is the sale of another company’s product or service in exchange for a commission
I consider it one of the best ways to earn a blog for 2 main reasons:
- ZERO RISKS AND ZERO COSTS : No risk because through the affiliation you will sell products already on the market , already known by the public and with an existing clientele, all factors that make the sale much easier
In addition No cost because since the product has already been created you do not have any additional costs (rent, warehouse, transport …) - TEACHES YOU TO SELL : The best benefit that affiliation brings you is without a doubt THE ABILITY TO SELL .
After you have learned to sell and therefore make money with other people’s products , it will be much easier with your products because you will know all the mechanisms that lead to the sale.
In addition to affiliation , you can earn quite easily by integrating banner ads or Google Adsense ads
What is Google Adsense?
Google Adsense is the advertising banner service offered by Google
thanks to this service you will be able to earn based on the number of exposures or clicks your ads will receive from your site visitors
ATTENTION : You must know that to earn with Google Adsense you must have significant traffic on your site
my advice is to first focus on growing your organic traffic (i.e. traffic that comes directly from Google searches) if you want to use this earning method
organic traffic is the most important traffic in my opinion because it brings you a higher quality of visitors
How to Make Money Writing: The Sponsored Post
Sponsored posts (or sponsored articles) are posts where you are paid to write for other people and / or companies
companies always need to advertise their products and often pay web editors to write sponsored articles
sponsored articles are articles that can be of any type (blog article, facebook post …) where you present the product or service of the company from which you receive a commission and present to your audience the benefits and disadvantages of the product
the advantages of this earning method are:
- POSSIBILITY TO CHOOSE BRANDS TO WORK WITH : since you are the one who advertises these companies, you are in a “position of power”this allows you to choose which companies to associate your image with Very important thing 🙂
- FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION : companies do not impose too many restrictions on your writing, which means that you will not have to be subject to stylistic or form impositionsgreat isn’t it? 🙂
There are many platforms that connect bloggers to brands and the ones that I absolutely recommend are:
- SeedindUP
- Barcellonais
- Publisuites
- GetFluence
How To Earn By Writing: The Book / Ebook
The electronic book, the “infamous” ebook is another great way to make money online
if you have a deep understanding of a topic you should consider writing an ebook about it
no matter what topic, believe me there are really books of any kind
PS: I even found a book that explains how to make the boss lose his head 🙂
you just have to take a folio word and write the most in-depth book possible on the subject of which you consider yourself a master
after you have finished the book you just have to convert it to PDF, upload it to an Ebook store like Amazon , choose the price of the book and voilà, that’s it
Simple right?
people interested in your book and your knowledge will be able to find it in the ebook stores where you uploaded it
and after paying online they will have the option to download it directly to their kindle, tablet or computer
writing an ebook, contrary to what we are used to thinking, does not require superior language skills or the mastery of all Italian words
Calm calm, you don’t have to have a degree in literature
but the absolutely necessary competence is to know how to organize and transmit your knowledge in a clear and simple way to your readers
all the concepts in your book, even the most complex ones, must be translated into as simple a language as possible
simplicity and clarity rather than complex language will determine the success of your Ebook
all you need to write an Ebook are:
- your knowledge
- a word sheet
- an internet connection
- a great desire to write a beautiful Ebook
How Much Do You Earn From Writing Articles Online
The income of a web editor is very variable, factors such as talent, style, experience mean that we have editors who have very different earning experiences.
doing a web search I can say that on average web writers earn between $10-15 per article
for articles between 500 and 1000 words in length
while the more experienced can reach figures such as $50/70 per article
Crazy right? 🙂
by writing an article a day at this rate, you can earn up to $1,500/ 2,100 per month
ATTENTION : you must know, however, that writing an article of excellent quality in one day is practically impossible
and don’t believe anyone who tells you otherwise 🙂
a quality article needs time:
the time to organize the structure of the article, the time to research the keywords, the time to research the sources, the time to rephrase the more complicated sentences etc …
All things you will learn when you dive into the world of web editing 🙂
CONCLUSION
There are still so many things to say about writing on the web, a topic that really fascinates me and I hope you too
let me know in the comments if I have forgotten anything or if you would like me to delve into this topic more
I hope I have given you some interesting information 🙂
see you in the next article
Soon
your friend Jean
