Make Money Writing Articles

Writing has been one of the most fulfilling things that I have ever done online.  I have always wanted to create passive income.  I loved the idea of not doing a lot of work and getting paid.  I started out investing in rental properties.  The concept is great.  I put up some money, borrow some money and somebody else pays off the mortgage.
If I do well, I would put some money back into the pocket each month.  The problem with this strategy is that one bad investment can be an emotional and financial wipeout.  I am speaking from experience on this one.  Then, I decided to move online and do lead generation for people looking to make money online.
I used paid traffic because it was fast.  The challenge that I had with this strategy was that it became very expensive to invest in the traffic while I was learning and getting good.   Although I could be profitable one day, the next day I may lose my shirt.
Then I moved into outsourcing content creation.  I figured that content would be there forever and I could pay for something once and get paid on it forever.  This worked and was profitable but was not very fulfilling.
Although I was learning the passive income models, it was not a passive experience.  That is when I read the book, Accidental Genius and I learned about free writing.  You see, I have a mind, probably like a lot of you that goes 10,000 miles an hour.
I have a lot of good ideas but my mind would not slow down long enough for me to implement any of those ideas.  I found that writing would allow me to get those ideas out on paper.  Even better, I could share those ideas with other people and could make money doing so.
Now, I write and I write and I write and I get compensated pretty well for it.
Below are some lessons that you may want to consider if you are attempting to make money writing articles -
Do not be stingy with your ideas - I used to have the feeling that I should not put my best work into each article and should save my best ideas for future work.  This became stressful and difficult to manage.  Now, I share the best ideas that are on my mind and give 100% to each article.  what I find happens in this case is that as soon as I get done sharing about one idea, a new idea pops into my head immediately.  There are no shortage of ideas so don’t be stingy in sharing your ideas and putting your best work forward.
Learn how to re-purpose content - Write something once and you can reuse it for other purposes later.  Here are a couple of ways to re-purpose content -
  • Make a video based on an article that you wrote.
  • Take one idea from the article and expand on that and make a completely new complementary article.
Post your content in multiple places - If you want to get a lot of eyeballs on your work, then post it in many places so there is a greater chance that more people will find it.  (Note: If you sell your articles to other, then do not do this.  That person paid you a fair price to do work and that content is theirs and should only be theirs.)
Don’t take yourself too seriously - People like to read work that is done by human beings.  They would much rather be entertained and surprised and deal with a few simple errors, then to read a perfect peace of content.  Have one with your work, regardless of the topic and you will find that you get better responses from those who are reading your work.

5 Ways to Make Money Online


5 Ways to Make Money Online – In this article we are going to share six ways that you can make money online.  These are all methods that have been profitable for me and people that I know in the past.  If you are willing to put in some work and take action for a consistent period of time, you too can make money using these methods.

5 Ways to Make Money Online

Here we go -
1. Amazon Publishing - That’s right, you can become a publisher on Amazon.  All you have to do is produce a book on a subject that interests you and upload it to the Amazon Marketplace and you are in business.  The beauty of this method, which is different than so many there methods, is that Amazon will use its enormous marketing machine to promo rote your book when you are new.  For me this has been the quickest way to earn a decent income and an income that is sustainable.  I must warn you that you should not expect your book to shoot to the top of the bestseller list from day one but with some good content and a little bit of decent promotion, you can be in business tomorrow.
2. Niche Sites - This used to be my favorite way to make money.  All that you have to do is create some content and throw it on a blog and find a promotion system.  As the blog ages and the content gets indexed, you will start to get traffic coming to your blog.  You can monetize the blog with your own product, an affiliate program (where you get paid a commission, sometimes up to 100%) for promoting somebody else’s product or you can simply put ads on your site and get compensated when somebody clicks away from your site.  Whichever way you chosen to monetize does not matter as much as your commitment to working your site until you reach your goal.  This may be achieved by mass producing blogs or only creating a few and riding the wave as long as you can.
3. Write for money - There are many sites out there that will pay you to write for them.  This is the way to make money quickly.  At the beginning, your writing may not be very good but after you get a week or two of practice, you can pick up the skills that would allow you to crank out great articles and do it quickly.
4. Traffic Arbitrage - This is one of the ways to make money online where you pay for traffic and come up with a way to make more money for the traffic then what you paid for it.  This is one of the least labor intensive ways to earn money but if you are able to build the skills to get successful with this method, you can scale up your efforts and make some great money.
5. Be a person for hire - My favorite site is ODesk for hiring and also for finding work.  Put up a profile (similar to a dating profile) and start applying for jobs.  You may get paid hourly or on a per project basis.  The name of the game here is to build up a reputation and built up evidence that you do good work.  The way to have this communicated to the World is through your reviews.
Next time you tell yourself that you cannot make money online, reread this article on 5 Ways to Make Money Online and just start taking some action.
