Learn How You Can Make Money Online Via Writing Simple Content

Ever thought about the different ways to make money online from writing an article? Let’s say you are willing to spend something like 15-20 minutes to write one 500 words article: now let’s see how much money you can earn from this article and how many different ways/opportunities there are via which you can make money online from this one article.

Opportunity Number One:

Writing an Article for a Client at a Freelance site:

The first place where you can utilize your time in writing an article for money is a freelance site. This is the place where buyers from all over the world are looking to hire people who can do different kinds of online jobs for them. One of these jobs is writing content: that can be writing Articles, Press Releases, Website Content, Product Descriptions etc.

Now, how much choice you have in choosing the topic of the article that you will need to write?

Actually, as you will be doing work for different people/buyers, therefore the choice of choosing the topic belongs to the buyer(s). But this does not mean that you are bound to obey all commands given by buyers.

Buyers simply write their requirements and complete job description in their project details. Now you can go and check different projects posted by different buyers: [Different projects have different requirements]. And you can go to different freelance sites to check all the newly posted projects.

You can read the description and in case you find a topic interesting to write, then you can contact the buyer to find out more info about the job. After communicating with the buyer, you will find all the information [that may not be included in the project description] about the writing job in which you are interested.

After all this, if you find the job worth doing, then you can apply for this job. There are different people who apply for the same job and it is the buyer who chooses one or more winners.

Are there any restrictions on the number of articles that we can write at freelance sites?

No, not at all. You can write as many articles as you want to. Actually, you will get to see different number of article requirements in different projects at freelance sites. Some project may state a requirement of writing 10 articles of 500 words each where another project may state a requirement of writing 50 articles of 300 words each.

Some buyers need 1000, 2000 or more words articles.

There are also projects where buyers only need 5 or less articles.

So you can see that at freelance sites, the copywriting jobs are available with different kind of requirements.

Are you bound to apply for limited number of copywriting jobs?

Off course not: the work you can get will depend on how much work you can do. You are free to apply for multiple copywriting projects.

If you only want to earn money in your spare time, then you will be applying for fewer projects and if you want to make a living online doing this work, then you will have to spend 8 or so hours at freelance sites and will have to apply for multiple projects.

I think this is a enough intro for people who want to make money online via doing copywriting jobs at freelance sites. But I will suggest that you read this free online jobs guide as this guide have a list of freelance sites where you can find writing jobs for free.

Opportunity Number Two:

Write Useful/Informative/Fresh/Unique content for your own websites:

You may have noticed that my English writing skills are not very good but still, I was able to earn money at freelance sites via doing copywriting jobs for many different buyers. While doing writing jobs, I sometimes got to write content for websites.

These websites belonged to different buyers. After sometime, I thought why not I make a website of my own and then I will write useful content for my own sites.

So I started online website business: I was not sure if I will be able to earn any money from my site or not but I did not give up and carry no learning how all this website business work. At first, the results were quite bad but as time passed, things started to work and my sites were able to generate some money for me.

I then decided to quit freelance work and work fulltime for my site. At first, I had only one site but then I added more and more sites under my name.

You can find more information about website business here:

But what is the relationship between websites and making money from articles?

A website either provide some kind of service: like a shopping site where one can buy products. Or a site provides some useful information: for example: if I am a newbie to the internet and am wondering how a person can earn money online: then for this person a site will help if it contains content about all legit ways to earn money on the internet.

So we can say that such site where one can find useful information.

So if you are interested in earning money from your articles, then you can consider building a website of your own where you will add useful information. You can either get a free site or you can buy your own domain and hosting which may cost around $100.

A site of yours, that provides content/information to its user, will earn you money for the content/articles you add. The amount of money you will earn will depend on the quality of the content that you will write and add in your site. The more useful content you will add, the more will you earn.

But how websites make money? Websites make money when they get targeted visitors: and search engines are the best source to get such traffic for free.

In order to get search engine traffic, your site needs to rank good in search results. That is possible when your site has some excellent content. SEs love to see useful/informative/fresh content and SEs will rank such sites higher in their results.

You can find more info on the page which I just mentioned above.

What topic will you have to write articles on?

People should only make a site on a topic/Niche in which they have interest. A topic for which they can write lot of good stuff. The main work of a site is to give the promised service or content to its user and that is only possible when the owner of the site knows about that topic and can deliver his or her best to its users.

You should never build a site on a topic about which you know nothing. One possibility is to first learn everything about that unknown topic/niche and once you get to know everything about it, you can then start delivering your knowledge to other people via building a site.

Anyway: think about your interests. Like if you love to watch movies, then build a site related to movie reviews. This way, you will be writing about something that you love to do.

Opportunity Number Three:

Write or submit articles to sites where you will earn money from revenue sharing:

I will share an interesting thing here. Do you know that you can use one same article for different opportunities to make money online? Except for the opportunity number one where you sell articles at freelance sites. You cannot use those articles anywhere else on the internet.

Now let’s say that you have built a site where you have added 100 very useful articles. Search engines have crawled and indexed all of those articles. This means that the SEs have found those articles at your site FIRST. So your site will get all the benefits from SEs in the form of targeted traffic as you desire it for adding useful/fresh content in your site.

Now that you have got the benefits for this content, why not use it somewhere else to earn money from it? Sounds interesting right?

There are some sites where you can submit articles that you have written yourself. Some of these sites will share the revenue that might generate on their site from the content that you will submit. Some of these sites even give few dollars [per article: some conditions apply] for adding your content in their site.

SEs first found this content on your site, so you will continue to get traffic on your site from SEs.

The best thing is that your content, that you will be submitting in these other sites, will continuously generate income. Yeah, you heard me correct: your content may get upfront payment of few dollars plus you will be earning money on daily/weekly/monthly bases for your articles/content continuously.

How great is that? Submit your content and go back and write more for your site or do whatever you want to do and your articles will continue to generate income.

Opportunity Number Fourth:

This opportunity may not be as easy and interesting as other mentioned opportunities.

Making Money Via Affiliate Programs:

It is legit to promote an affiliate program if a site is giving some useful information about the products that are being promoted. You can consider writing some useful information about products that you need to promote.

Content that will help the users. So the users will get the benefit of getting useful information from you and you will make money from the income that will generate from the affiliate program.
