3 Reasons It's Easy to Become a Web Content Writer

Writing web content is one of the easiest ways to make money online.  Why?

1.)  Writers are in high demand. If you know where to look, native English speakers who can follow simple instructions can easily start out at ten bucks an article. In six months or less, you should be able to raise your rate to fifteen dollars or more. And with just a little practice, you'll be able to write an article every 20 or 30 minutes--how does $30-$45 per hour sound?

The Internet marketing crowd is the core market that's looking for writing services. 99% of their business models require constant, fresh content for their web sites. And most of them have learned their lesson from outsourcing to India for five bucks an article.

You do need to be able to write like you talk (forget your English classes as they likely did more harm than good in this department!). Aside from that, all you'll need is a good attitude and the ability to set and meet deadlines.

(Clients will take a solid writer who is easy to work with over a difficult-but-brilliant writer any day.  Keep a good attitude and don't get flowery with your writing, and you'll be good as gold.)

2.)  Content writing is a sustainable business. Unless every English-speaking nation on the planet suddenly gives up capitalism, you are assured web-writing work for as long as you want it. Why?

The short answer is that the web isn't going away any time soon!  The long answer is that more and more people are doing their shopping and socializing on the web as time goes on. And this trend isn't likely to reverse itself. 

Simply put, more and more commerce is moving from the offline world to the online world. Even the present online economy can support more good writers than it currently has. What's even better is that it will only need more writers in the future!

3.)  You don't even need to know how to make a website--or anything else technical. You don't need to be able to program a computer to advertise yourself online. In fact, you don't even need to know basic HTML! There are several FREE online services you can use to create an online web presence that shows your writing abilities.

Sites like Squidoo, Blogger, and Facebook offer no-cost, cut-and-past ways for you to network and advertise your services. You don't need any special skills to use them--if you can use Microsoft Word, you can build a page at any or all of these sites.

If you decide you want your own .com (and eventually, you will), you'll pay about nine bucks a year for the name and seven dollars a month for hosting.  

Sites like Hostgator.com come complete with several different programs that let you easily build a templated website in an afternoon--without any technical knowledge at all. The only things you really need to learn are how to market yourself, and where to find clients.

Want to Work From Home?  Provide a Good Value and a Good Attitude, And The (Online) World Is Yours

It's easier to work from home in 2009 than it ever has been before. (Which is good, considering that jobs are getting harder to find offline...but that's another story!) More and more commerce in the English-speaking world is moving online. This trend isn't likely to reverse itself anytime soon--and that's good news if you want to work from home.

Writing web content is by far the quickest and -safest- way you can start to make money online. Internet marketers make hundreds and even thousands of dollars a day using web-content-based marketing (and they hit the thousand-dollar-a-day mark more often than you might think).

One of the great things about internet marketers is that many of them have learned how to weather the recession--and even thrive in it. They can reach micro-markets in a way that large companies can't--to the tune of six, seven, or even eight figures a year.

The ones that make more than a pittance all understand the value of a good writer--and are willing to pay good rates in order to keep a good writer around. Not to mention, working for these guys is a great way to learn how to make that big money yourself...

But internet marketers aren't the only people online who pay good money for solid writing. Even most small cities these days have one or more web development companies. And even though not all of them thrive as well as internet marketing companies, they are faring better than most main street businesses.

Why? People are more likely to use Google than they are a phone book, and local businesses are starting to get this. They understand that web presence to do business is no longer optional--even if they just want business in their home town.  

Local web development companies cater to these businesses' needs.  And once you have a little experience under your belt, you can market yourself to these developers. Or, if you find a good graphic designer, you may even want to market your skills straight to the local businesses yourself someday!

And speaking of honing your own skills: enough time spent working for marketers and web development companies may give you an idea or two for some web marketing of your own.

After all, content is the internet's most valuable commodity. After you've spent a while writing it for others, you'll be able to make your own content websites, and create a little passive income of your own!

The 2 Most Important Reasons Every Working Mom Should Consider Writing For The Web

It’s hard to find something that pays a wage you need while still being flexible enough while still offering the schedule you need to take care of your kids. This is especially true in the days of the recession where employers are more likely to abuse their privileges, simply because employees just don't have the options to leave and find new jobs like they did a year ago.

Writing online is the only job I can think of where you can earn an honest living, and work around your schedule—and never have to feel dirty about it.

1. You can set your own schedule. This is the number one benefit most WAHMs (work at home moms) value in a web content writing job. Writing content online will provide you with the utmost flexibility that can be beneficial no matter how old (or young) your children are.

Sure, it's an especially good job if your kids aren't old enough to go to school, or you don't have the desire (or the money) to send them to day-care. Writing content can help you avoid getting a strict-scheduled a nine-to-five job.  Or a job waiting tables, where you never know how much you'll make (or how much you won't make) every shift.  Or a low-paying fast food job...

If your kids are in school, you won't have to worry about asking off to take them to the doctor, handle a field trip, or anything else you want or need to be a part of.

Finally, you can take spring break, Thanksgiving break, and even winter vacation off if you like!

2. You can generate emergency cash or give yourself a raise, whenever you feel like it.  Which a regular job, you get a standard wage per hour or salary every month.  When you write online, you don't have the same standard income every week. If it’s getting close to a birthday then you can take on an extra job or to hours to pay for that present or party--then take off work the day of the party!

And if you write for web markers (most content writers do),  you'll see business pick up for the  pre-holiday season.  Many internet marketing strategies include daily blog posts and articles, and after thanksgiving, the competition is even fiercer online than in "the real world".

Most internet marketers will want a lot of content during this time (and actually quite a few of them will want to stock up before thanksgiving), so if you turn into a web writer then you may have your best holiday season ever!

And remember those doctors' visits you don't have to ask off for?  Don't worry if they involve expensive medication or other treatment--you've got it handled.  Spend an extra half-hour or so marketing yourself for a couple of days, and you'll be able to cover unexpected costs without taking a hit to your regular income.

Of course, there are other reasons web content writing is a great choice for work at home moms.  But total flexibility, and the ability to generate emergency cash, are the two most important for most of us!
