This is a very interesting site. I have been writing for 50 blog/websites for the last month and have found it to be fascinating. Just thought I would check around to see what writing for profit might entail. Your site was the first one I checked out. Thank you for the information.

Nice article! It’s great how you made the distinctions between the careers more simple and straight to the point.

Thanks for your comments about writing. One thing I have found that works is talk your writing: speak into a microphone and get someone to type it. Then read it outloud – if you feel it’s stilted then it is. Listen carefully to the flow and keep away from $10 words and jargon – they cause people to stop or skip, and that might be just the most important info you wanted to get across.

The talent of writing sounds like a double edged sword; it is a great thing to be able to do, but it is difficult to make money off of. That sucks. I wonder however if writers didn’t make any money, how come there are so many books on the market? Well I suppose I just have to keep on writing, and perhaps I’ll get lucky one day.

It is definitely possible to make a living just from writing website copy and marketing copy. The #2 seller on RentACoder.com has completed 1,600+ writing jobs:

However, it can be a challenge for a new writer to break into a freelance site. Here are some articles on how to do that, which your readers may find helpful:

@Work at Home, not forgotten. Online marketing is a different career. We’ve covered SEO and SEM, and we plan another career on marketing and PR. Gotta draw the line somewhere or it could become a book.

This is a great article on more traditional forms of writing jobs. But you left out what I consider one of the best ways to use your writing talents… and that is for the expressed purpose of online marketing. You can take any site or product that you’re affiliated with and use your writing skills to drive traffic to that site and make money.

Some of these traffic generation strategies include Article Marketing, Press Releases, Forum/Blog Marketing, Blogging, and others. These are all legitimate techniques to implement to drive traffic to any site. If you learn these strategies, you can use them for your own sites, or charge businesses to do it for them.

I have a free team membership site that teaches these strategies and others on how to drive traffic to their sites. We use a legitimage work at home business online opportunity to monetize our traffic, but again, these strategies can be implemented for any site.

There are millions of internet marketers that don’t like to write, so once you learn how to implement these strategies correctly, you can sell your services to these marketers… if you don’t want to market your own site.

I hope that gets you thinking outside of the box! We all need help in today’s economy.

I’ve written 3 books for Wiley in 11 months (finishing a Win7 book now). The pay is not bad, but not awesome, either. Writing with a tight deadline can be grueling work that puts pressure on the rest of one’s life.

I started as a technical editor, who confirms an author’s instructions are correct. It’s hard to do enough tech editing to earn a living.

Ditto to the value of dual monitors. Plus VM software, such as Virtual PC.
