If you have a knack for writing, this could be a gold mine for you. Remember the days when someone paid you to do their homework? Or when YOU paid someone to do YOUR homework? Well, it’s the same here, almost. Many website owners got tired of writing content for their website after a while. For a website to continually attract visitors, the content must be fresh and up-to-date. Outdated websites quickly lose steam and get buried. Because of this, many website owners resort to paying people to write content for their websites.
For example, a dog training website requires the constant addition of new dog training related articles. Say a website owner is busy with other things or just got writer’s block, he or she could hire someone who knows about dog training to write an article or two about dog training. Of course, I would choose someone who knows about the subject. Similarly, websites like Elance.com, Guru.com, and Odesk.com are places where you can find such jobs. Look in the writing jobs section to see which webmasters are hiring and for what types of topics. Or Google ‘writing job postings’. You can also send emails directly to the owners of the websites that interest you.
You can earn anywhere from $50 to $150 or more for your article, depending on the quality and length. If you are an expert on a particular topic, you can charge a lot. If you use the same item and spin or paraphrase it, you can even sell the same item to multiple people. However, make sure that the articles look like different articles. Some writers charge by the word. For example $1 for 200 words, etc.
