How to Earn Money Writing

One of the things I often mention in my blogs and articles, is the importance of making money from something you enjoy doing.

We naturally put more effort into something we like doing. It is less of a chore.

Writing combines both hobby and occupation. Wouldn't it be great to earn money from your hobby?

Ways to Make Money Writing.

I am going to have a bit of a brainstorm with you.

Please add your comments if you know any other ways of making money writing.

Blog writing - You can get paid to blog.

Writing Greeting card verses - Most card companies will pay you for your verses.

Freelance content writer - For this you will need to be able to research and know about keyword density.

Review writer - This one can cover many fields. The basic principal is that all companies need to market research, they pay people to collect this info but they also will pay you to take the info direct to them.

Poetry - not allot of money in poetry but there are still other ways of making money. You could write a book, build a poetry community site, or even enter competitions for cash prizes.

Writing EBooks - Tap into the thirst for online knowledge. No costs for printing or publishing.

Has the list made you think about your own ideas?.

I have not mentioned publishing a book, it is the most obvious and one that will take time.

There is always a reader waiting to read what you have written.

It does not matter what your writing passion is. Poetry or fiction, non fiction or horror. You have an awaiting audience.

Ways to Make Money for Free

When you hear the words "Make Money Free", does it actually mean what it says. There must be some cost involved?

I write allot of articles on ways you make money for free, this is what I mean by it.............

There are many money making opportunities on the Internet. Some are genuine, some are scams. The majority of the money making opportunities, are set up to make the person who created them very rich by charging to join them, whereas others are free to join. The ones that are free to tap into are, the ones i talk about and refer to as ways to make money for free.

Are Opportunities that charge you to join scams?

Not at all, allot of webmasters that have created a money making opportunity and charge to join it are legitimate. They can charge a join fee because they have a massive online presence, people trust them and they might as well charge for a product or information they have created.

Why I write more about free money making opportunities?

I write more about ways to earn money for free, because the majority of my readers are beginners. All beginners will experience a very steep learning curve, I don't want you to go through an expensive learning curve too. Play with the free opportunities, then when you are more experienced, you will be able to determine for yourself, what opportunities will work and which ones will fail, without being broke.

What about small costs?

All my articles consist of ways to earn money without the risk. I will never promote a scam, and I will never promote something that will break your bank. With anything you do online, you still have to pay hosting, connection fees, this is obvious and unavoided. With money making opportunities like auctions, you will have to pay a listing fee and valuation fee. So not completely free, but they won't charge you anything to join, and what you spend, is completely in your control.

Ways or earn money for free

Filling in surveys

Your Websites

ppc click programs

Becoming an affiliate

Outsourcing

Selling ad space

I would of missed many more ways to make money for free off the above list, but I am sure you will agree. Beginners are on a journey, and the journey is best done cheaply until more knowledge and understanding is acquired.

How to Make Money with Google Adsense

All website owners should seriously think about making money from AdSense.

What is Google AdSense?

Google makes most of its money from a program called AdWords. It allows advertisers to place an ad across their networks.

You can cash in and earn some of googles revenue by advertising these ads on your website, this is called Google AdSense.

To make this clear, AdWords is when you have your ad displayed across other sites and Google.

AdSense is when you get paid for having other people ads on your website.

How much money can you make with AdSense?

You will be paid a commission when someone clicks on one of the ads displayed on your website.

Google place ads on your site according to your websites content. The ads are content targeted.

The benefit of having targeted ads on your website will be reflected on your click through rate. For example, if you sites content was all about trains, having ads about baby clothing will mean you get less clicks and earn less money.

How make more money with AdSense

You can do many things to ensure you are getting the best from Google AdSense.

Make sure you don't click on your own ads, it is not worth the risk of suspension.

Where you place the ads on your pages matters, do some tests to see where you get the most clicks. The best place is usually above the fold.

If you are going to create a site just for Google AdSense, then it is important to make sure you know about your chosen subject, enough to write good content.

It is important that you have lost of targeted traffic to your website. I have written articles on how you can achieve this.

Making money from AdSense is a great way to earn money online. Some people use it to cover web hosting costs, but others are making a substantial income from it..

One of the easiest ways to make money on the Internet is to make money outsourcing. Many big Internet companies outsource and you can too.

Types of things you would outsource

Content

Email marketing

ppc management

website

Advertising

The list has only just begun, but I am sure you get my point. Why would you want to do all the work yourself. You don't have to.

How to outsource

You need to be good at networking, this is essential when dealing with the people you are going to outsource from. Research is also vital in order to beat your competitors.

Marketing outsourced products is huge. It leaves you with more time to make more money and more profits.

How to Make Money Online for Beginners

If you are looking for ways to Make Money Online and you are a beginner, then all the money making opportunities available to you, might be a little bit overwhelming.

Where to begin

Firstly, think about what you enjoy doing. The thing about making money on the internet is, that more than likely you will have endless amount of people doing the same thing that you are doing. With this in mind, you have to try and be the best at it. To be good at something you have to enjoy it. So write a list of all the things you enjoy doing. This list could include things like writing, doing surveys, blogging and so on.

Turn your list into a money making plan

With your list of things you enjoy doing, you can turn it into a great money making plan. Let us call it a brainstorm. The thing about brainstorming is, that it opens your mind and help you to span an idea. Use a separate piece of paper for each activity you wrote down. On each piece of paper, fill it will all the ideas you can think of for that activity. You will be surprised at the things you come up with. Don't worry if your ideas don't seem to be ways of making money, the thing about the internet is, that you can earn money many different ways. In my previous post we looked at how you can monetize any website without selling products. The internet is not just about e commerce.

Getting started

The importance of planning is crucial. Too many people jump in with an idea without properly planning. You need to see what your potential earnings will be, goals need to be set, and research needs to be done. One of the things you will want to do now is, to press on with so much enthusiasm, Be careful though not to fail before you have begun. Don't be over keen to start all your money making ideas. Start with one, and when that one is fully set up, then think about another, not before.


How to make sure you succeed

Your biggest problem will be your competitors, but with your determination and your Pre-planning, you will be able to succeed. You need to make sure you are always one step ahead of them, and offering a different approach.

Notice in this post, I have not given you many examples of money making opportunities. That is because I want you to develop your own. If I give you examples this early on, you will adopt them and that won't help you to develop your own niche and your own unique ways. Remember the very beginning of the post, when I said that it is important to do something you enjoy? well this is the crucial secret to making money online. The rest will come.

Don't get fooled by Online Money Making Scams

You may be very wise and think you are immune to money making scams but unfortunately they exist everywhere and the scammers are getting better and better.

What is a scam?

Scams come in many forms. Their purpose is to defraud you. Whether it is to get your personal information, or to sell you something that is not as described.

Credit Card Fraud

Spoof emails claiming to be from official companies

Spoof auctions

The most one people will fall for, is get rich quick scams. These are tough ones, many cannot be classed as scams because the webmasters, are very careful how they describe the money making opportunity. The only problem with many get rich quick schemes, is that the only person getting rich quick is in fact the person who created it, the webmaster.

The only way to not get sucked into a get rich quick scam, is to apply the old saying " if something seems to good to be true, it probably is".

Not all money making opportunities are scams. Not at all, but what you do need to remember is, that making money online takes time. There is no get rich quick fix.

How do I know if a money making opportunity is legit?

Use Google and forums to check out if anyone has reviewed them.

It is only my opinion, but I believe the only way to make money, is to find a niche and make it your own. Create a way of doing something that is better than your competitor.Theres nothing wrong with getting involved with an opportunity that already exists. Use free resources sites that help you to earn money for free and give impartial advice.

Make Money Blogging

Many Monetizing opportunities exist for bloggers. Which one you choose depends on the type of blogger you are and the visitors you attract to your blog.

What is Blogging?

Blogging is like a diary. You post often about your chosen subject. Anyone can blog, we all have our own views, opinions and information that others find interesting.

Ways to Make Money from your blog

You can get paid by adding pay per click (ppc) ads on your blog. This is a great way to monetize your blog. You get paid when someone clicks on the ads. You use programs like adsense , bidvertiser and adbrite.

Use your blog to promote affiliate products. You simply join a affiliate program and promote the products using your unique code. You then get paid a commission for every sale or lead.

You can sell ad space on your blog which we discussed in the previous post. You must make sure you have plenty of traffic before anyone will consider advertising with you.

How much can you earn from your blog?

How much money you make will depend on many things. Firstly your blog has to be interesting, so make sure you write about something that interest you, or you will write a load of rubbish.

Secondly you need to make sure your traffic is targeted. It is not about quantity but rather it is about quality. If someone for example is a golfer and stumbles on your cooking blog. Will they stay and read your posts? Highly unlikely. This is where Internet Marketing comes in. Successful bloggers are also internet marketers.

I will close this subject for now and let you digest. I will write another post soon about how to market your blog, and how to make sure your posts are interesting. These are vital ways to ensure you make money from your blog.
