My Mega Blog

My online adventure began with freelance writing. Although that was more than 3 years ago, my freelance writing gigs helped me quit my full time job and launch my Internet marketing business as well. I highly recommend everyone who can write, or want to write, to get a few writing gigs as a legitimate and sustainable way to improve your cash flow.

Although there a really good freelance writing tips available, in this article let me give you and idea of what you can do:

 

 

1. Become a ghostwriter for other people’s books and ebooks

 

 

2. Write posts for website / blog owners

 

 

3. Become a regular colun writer for offline / online media in various topics

 

 

4. Become a paid blogger using get paid to blog like Review Me

 

 

5. Become an editor / proofreader and help proof someone else’s work

 

 

6. Become a web copywriter and charge for every web copy written

 

 

Being an editor requires more of a critical eye and amazing grasp of grammar and writing styles. This is a skill not everyone, even world-class writers, possess. Since copywriting involves a lot of creative thinking, you may not be able to get opportunities easily. Every other type of writing however, is a great opportunity for anyone who can construct a proper sentence in English.

Therefore ghostwriting, paid blogging and content writing is what you have to work with.

Ghost writing can potentially add between a few hundred to a few thousand dollars into your bank account every month, but the flip side to this is that no one will ever know who you are or appreciate the work you’ve done. A big market of ebook publishers are looking for ghost writing services.

Writing articles and web content for blogs / websites is another great opportunity, plus in most cases you also get a “byline” for your work. If you write for blogs, chances are you get a link back to your own site. By doing so you expose yourself and your name, while building credibility and repertoire. It’s much better for your career if you write on blogs or anywhere else where your name is published.

The final type of freelance writing you can do is sponsored blogging. Basically, you setup a blog and start writing from paid blogging opportunities. Advertisers want to create buzz about their products, and they will pay you to participate in doing it. How much you can charge for each article depends on the reach and popularity of your blog.

The great part of this is that technically you own the blog posts you have written, which means you can always make money from your growing blog with Google Adsense or even affiliate offers.
