Make Money Writing

Webmasters will pay anywhere between $0.01 -$0.05 per word depending on the quality of your work. Now I don't know about you but I personally can whip up a 500 word article in about 20 minutes. That's between $5 and $25 every 20 minutes! For those slow typers not all hope is lost, a good speech recognition software package will have your word count per minute soar.

Now what you are probably wondering is where am I going to find webmasters looking for writers. For those of you who have read some of the other guides on OC it will be no surprise that Digital Point is the place. Here you will find webmasters with websites on various topics looking for content writers.

Digital Point is not the only place to find webmasters, essentially and webmaster forums or Freelance site will have people looking for writers and simple google search will help you find them in no time. One sure way is to simple find sites on topics you enjoy and email the webmaster directly offering your writing services. You will struggle to find a webmaster who doesn't want new content especially at a good price.

With writing, you will often be requested to provide a sample of your work. Perhaps an article that you have written to prove that you can produce quality work. Some writers will create a portfolio of their work when they are really serious about writing. These individuals often charge a lot more for their work and webmasters are willing to fork out the cash for quality work.

We would recommend that you prepare one article on a topic of your choice. Make it around 500 words and put some effort into it. Use this article as proof of the quality of your work. To entice webmasters to hire you.

Writing is no quick or easy way to make money, you will need to put in the time and effort. This is certainly not for lazy people, and often you might be required to research your topic to know what to write about. Be prepared to have to visit and couple of sites putting together a few points or facts that you will base your article around.

Make sure you never copy a site! You may want to use other sites for research and inspiration but always rewrite what you read and ad your own twist to it to make it your own. Simple copying and pasting articles to sell doesn't work. Webmaster can use a program called Copyscape to check in seconds if your article is copied so don't even bother.

Finally, writing content for websites doesn't have to be article after article. You can spice it up and create how to guides, top 10 lists, create sales copy or review products and services. Keep yourself entertained by experimenting and seeing what you are the best at and enjoy the most.
