Write for Money

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

Part of the reason for the existence of this website is to show you how to write successfully online, help you to know what kind of freelance jobs are available, and where those freelance jobs are available. After all, it can be pretty hard to make any money at a freelance writing career without any writing assignments!

Finding Online Writing Jobs

In this section, we will talk about where you can find an online writing job, or many freelance jobs writing on the Internet. If you have just started out you may find it hard to believe how many freelance writers are wanted, but in fact freelance writing jobs are available all over the web, you just need to know where to look for them.

Writing Fees

Another important aspect in learning how to write for the Internet, and how to make decent money through freelance writing assignments, is understanding how to establish your writing fees.

The main source of my income is through bidding sites, and that means I walk a fine line between bidding low enough to get the job, and high enough to make the job worthwhile. Setting writing fees will depend on how fast you are as a writer, how much you want to get (or think you will enjoy) a specific online writing job, and whether or not you have worked with a certain client before.

What are Clients looking for?

One of the exciting parts of this section that I am really looking forward to is sharing with you some in depth details of what it is that different companies on the Internet are looking for when they have freelance writing jobs available.

I have worked with dozens of different clients in the two years I have been writing for the Internet, most of them very steady, and am planning on interviewing them to see what exactly it is they are looking for when they choose a bidder.

It’s not always expertise within a certain area either; that’s part of what makes an online writing job so much fun. I’ve written on an incredibly diverse range of topics, from weddings to real estate to recreational vehicles, and in the process I have attained a level of knowledge that allows me to place higher bids on similar topics in the future.

The Bottom Line: Nurturing Relationships

Above all, making money through freelance writing assignments online is about establishing and retaining a great relationship with the people who hire you for freelance job writing. In this section we will be stressing the relationship with the client; how to deal with them, making sure that all the requirements of the job are understood, and keeping the lines of communication clear.

I have made my fair share of mistakes in the area, mistakes that have cost me money both in the short and long term. I think that anyone could benefit from both my positive and negative experiences in this area!
