Promote other people’s products- Some people over look this way of earning money online as a writer because they mistake their duties for an Internet marketer. Basically, you would write for article directories and place a link back to your affiliate’s landing page. You can also promote your own products as well. The key to succeeding with article marketing is to write unique and informative articles, only submitting to the top directories with the highest page rank.
Selling e-books- This is one of the oldest ways to make money for your writing. Informative products are starting to rise in demand, especially since the recession. People want to learn how they can make a living working from home; some of them are so desperate, they really don’t care what the job detail is; they just want to be able to work from the comfort of their own home without any experience. These type of e-books sell very well. If you can come up with unique and fun ways to make money from home, then you can put it in an e-book and sell it to interested buyers.
Write for Websites- There are many online writing marketplaces for people to make money. The thing about these sites is that they don’t pay much. This shouldn’t be a problem if you can write articles fast. There are two type of sites that will pay you; writing marketplaces and online ezines. Online ezines are sort of like Internet publications including magazines, newspapers, newsletters and much more. These type of publications tend to pay more for accepted writing pieces. The writing marketplaces include sites like Associated Content. They tend to be on the lower paying scale with an average of $2.75-$3 per article. While the pay is little, the articles are easier to write.
