Writing for a Living

You can launch an online writing career with relatively little investment. If you have what it takes to sit and write every day, you may be ready to start a career writing for money.
Writing for Money - Necessary Skills
  • Proper Spelling and Grammar - You need to have these skills or you will need to work with a proofreader to ensure your work is clean before submission.
  • Commitment to Produce - You need to be able to push yourself to get the work done even when you don't have a boss holding you accountable.
  • Conversational Writing Voice - You need a voice that shares information in a friendly and engaging manner. Internet readers don't want to read jargon and they don't want you to talk down to them either.
  • Basic Internet Skills - You need to navigate through many different sites and you will have to learn new social media as they become popular.
Writing for Money - Necessary Equipment
  • Computer
  • Internet Connection
That's it. If you know how to write, have a computer with internet access, and are willing to learn, then the only other investment you will need to make is your time.

Write What You Know
You can shorten the amount of time it takes to learn the business by writing on topics with which you are already familiar.

Instead of taking assignments that require you to do a great deal of research, you can start with the subjects you know well. Mundane things like raising children and caring for pets can get you started writing for money. The more you understand a topic the more comfortable you will sound and the quicker you will be able to write.

Write What You Learn
Many writers pay attention to the internet searches they do and then write up little reports on the topics they investigated. If you are already looking for solutions to your back pain or ways to cook zucchini, it only takes a few more minutes to gather your findings, cite your sources, and prepare a short article to share your knowledge.

Writing for money on the internet is something you can begin part time at first. Spending about an hour a day is enough to get started. You can learn on the fly by writing, submitting, and applying any feedback you receive.

Later, when your have developed your skills and your reputation, you can make the jump to a full time freelance writing career if you want.

Writing for money is one home based business that many households can launch with no investment beyond the time spent writing.
