How to Write for Money
Write for Money
Writing your own content is a great way to earn money. Original, well written content will always be in demand and will help you rank higher in Google and of course drive traffic to whatever pages you want. Below I have assembled a list of ways to earn money by writing great content. After the list I go into more detail about each one so have fun and get out there and create great content and write for money.
Write for Money by doing these things:
- Free Lance Writing
- Publish an eBook
- Google Adsense
- Affiliate Website
- Sponsored Reviews
- Content Buyers
- Keep it for yourself & BLOG
Free Lance Writing - Elance and Odesk both will allow you to get paid for writing articles for them and others online who need great content. You can expect a few dollars per article and the experience writing is invaluable. If you have enough time to devote to it this can build over time to a great income. Get a page set up with your bio and some of your work so people will be more likely to hire you.
Publish an eBook- If you have extensive knowledge about a particular subject and a large enough audience you can write and publish an eBook and sell it across the web. You can get ideas for a book by visiting Amazon.com and see what topics are popular. Your audience will be hungry for valuable information so you must give them just that. Easy to find generic information will not help your readers and will hurt your reputation. For example if you know how to repair the brakes on a car well, write a book with detailed instructions about the tools you will needs and the cost savings of doing it yourself as well as videos to walk people through the whole process.
Google Adsense – You can set up a simple web page and or a blog and write content and then have related ads from Google show up on your pages automatically and Google will share the revenue from those ads with you. The more traffic you can drive to those pages the better chances you have of earning a lot of commissions from Google. You can have ad boxes or links in the text areas that grab attention and many earn a great living from Google.
Affiliate Website – If driving traffic is something you are good at or willing to learn, then affiliate marketing is a great way to use your content to write for money. You can set up a website easily and use services like ClickBank or Rapbank to post ads on your site and sell products and services. For best results try to sell items that are related to your page or post. If you write and article about taking care of your home then ads about home cleaning products or home maintenance products will do well. If your article is about repairing your car then ads with car accessories would be fitting. Keep your readers in mind when placing ads.
Sponsored Reviews – You can also write for money by posting reviews about products or services on your blog. Sites like SponsoredReviews.com will get you started. People who are introducing services or just want to get some buzz started would love for you to write a review about their service and or company.
Content Buyers- Places like Zerys.com help match up those that need content with great writers. You will be able to create a profile and write on subjects that interest you and that you are knowledgeable about. You can expect to earn somewhere in the 3 cents per word range so for a 1,000 word article you would get about $30. If you enjoy writing this can be a great side income. There is no cost to get started.
Keep it for Yourself & Blog- This is by far my favorite way to write for money. Why would you keep the content for yourself? Well if you have a blog or website that you host and own yourself, then you can publish all of your content on that site and become an expert in your field. Keep in mind that people search Google for information. If you provide quality information on the subject they are interested in then you build trust and they may also buy from you or through you in an affiliate program or MLM company if they are interested in earning money also. Build a great reputation and a great list of people you have dealt with and you have ready made buyers for products you introduce.

Blog Money – How to monetize your blog
Blog Money – Start Earning
So you have seen all the benefits of having a Blog and now you have one set up and are ready to make money from it. What is next?
For this article I will assume that you are already getting traffic. If not then please read my other posts on building traffic. Obviously you will need traffic to your Blog before you can sell anything from it.
The top ways to start earning some Blog Money:
- Content
- Affiliate Programs
- Advertisement
- Accept Donations
- Your own product (Ebook etc)
- Memberships
- Training & Consulting
- Google Adwords
So lets go into each one and decide what is best for you and your blog to start earning some blog money.
Content – Some Bloggers make money by writing for other Blogs and/or syndicating content but the reason I put this one first is that having quality content that helps your readers is the most important thing you can do to earn money blogging. If your readers like you and relate to you and most of all begin to value your opinion then you have built a quality Blog. Do not underestimate your readers and think you can just post a bunch of PLR articles that have been all over the web or hire a cheap writing service to churn out keyword stuffed paragraphs and people will like your Blog.
Affiliate Programs – One of the most popular and easiest ways to make some blog money is to sign up for affiliate programs and earn commissions from the sales of any pass through clicks from your blog. This can be done easily with services like ClickBank and Rapbank. Make sure that the items listed on your site are related and valuable to your readers. It is best to sell things that you have personally used and can vouch for. You can even do a review of the product in one of your Blog posts.
Advertisement – If you have a good amount of traffic you can sell advertisement through services like BuySellAds and others. These services will help you charge a flat fee or a per click fee for ads being shown on your site. Depending on the traffic of your site you could easily earn a few hundred dollars a month in blog money from these alone. Choose your ads and how many you run carefully since your advertiser may show ads that do not fit your content or even worse from competitors.
Accept Donations – many Blogs overlook this and I think it has a valuable place in earning Blog Money. You can accept donations through PayPal and others to help fund your blog. This works best with blogs that offer a lot of free services and help to their readers. Again if you offer solutions and help to your readers they will be more willing to help you out by donating to the cause.
Your own Product – For those that have been blogging and establishing themselves as an expert in their field this is probably the one that makes them the most money. Top online marketers all have their own video course or eBook that solves a problem and/or offers training on a particular subject. You can have an introductory product such as an eBook for as little as $.95 and more in depth training materials for as much as $97. This can be delivered electronically very easily and you never have to get involved after you set up the materials and the processing system. Ejunkie is a very popular and easy to use way to sell downloadable products online.
Memberships – Membership sites can generate a lot of monthly income if you an ongoing service or training that offers a great deal of new and fresh value each month. The challenge will be to keep your members very happy with the value of the service and you can even set up your own affiliate program to pay them for referrals.
Training & Consulting – This goes back to having your own product or service but goes a little further. Perhaps you would like to offer personal training or a set of training videos with you in them. Good trainers and marketers charge upwards of $500 or more for in depth training and consulting. You should have established yourself as a leader in your field and have great testimonials to back it up.
Google Adwords – This one has been around a long time now and many people are very happy with their Adwords results. Google will place ads on your site and rotate them and then share in the revenue that those ads produce. Keep in mind that you want to control what kind of ads are displayed as much as you can since the Blog is your online reputation.
Word of caution: Do not make your Blog just a place for ads and loose what makes it unique. Let your personality come through and give your readers valuable content and the money will come. Some Blog owners just throw up a lot of ads and hope someone clicks on them. Your readers are looking for value in the content first and then if they like and trust you they will value your opinions and ads.
My Blog Suggestions:
You can get an already monetized blog with Empower Network and you can also get one set up at GoDaddy.com I suggest BOTH. Why, because your Empower Network Blog is already completely set up for you and can help you build a great income from referrals as you get paid 100% commissions and the GoDaddy Blog should be one that you grow and build over time to brand yourself online. Once you are experienced at Blogging then having your own branded Blog will help you establish your self as an expert in your niche.
