Sometimes online writing freedom leads to online shopping freedom!
Over 4.1 BILLION Reasons Online Writing Freedom is at Your Fingertips …
Jump on This in Demand Opportunity for NEW Writers
Did you Google today?
I know I did … not even sure how many times!
Ever wonder who’s writing what you’re reading every day online?
Chances are, most of your favorite go-to websites have savvy owners. They’re paying a writers for credible, ACCURATE, INTERESTING written information that will help their visitors.
A writer they’ve probably never met who’s writing from home, a beach or maybe a cabin nestled in a clearing surrounded by two hundred year old fir trees.
Me, I’ve got a sweet view of Tampa Bay and I couldn’t be happier.
I’m just one of a whopping 4.1+ BILLION Internet users. (According to Statista.com.)
That’s great news for new writers.
PROOF – Online Writing Freedom is Growing
Currently about 46% of the world population are Internet users…
That’s an estimated 1.2 TRILLION searches a year.
Many statisticians are predicting over 50% of the world-wide population will have Internet access by 2021!
More people are getting access to online searching every day. So, more writers are needed to satisfy the growing need for various forms of QUALITY information. Freelance writers are an easy way to fill the gap!
In October 2016 Forbes Magazine shared these facts from a survey about freelance work in general …
Freelancers now make up 35% of U.S. workers and collectively earned $1 trillion in the past year. (and growing quickly)
Technology, such as the growing number of freelance platforms and apps like Uber, is also improving access to freelance gigs. Among respondents, 73% said technology has made finding freelance work easier. Sixty-six percent said the amount of freelance work they had found online increased since last year.
Freelancers are also earning more.
Why Online Searches are a Gold Mine for Writers
As Internet users, we’re purchasing more and more online. Here’s a recent purchase for my mini Aussie Shepherd, her name is Roo … ‘cause she jumps like one.
Anyway, Roo’s got nasty dry patches on her skin. Dog shampoos appear to be irritating her.
So I typed into Google search “home remedies for dry patches on dogs” and purchased online, African black soap to wash Roo.
I bought from a particular website …
Because,
- The website was competitive – ranked in the top five on page one of Google which made it easy to find.
- The very short description of what they were offering was easy to understand.
- I trusted the website information so I was happy, even excited about my decision to buy.
Achieving 1 thru 3 is unlikely if the website writer doesn’t have a ‘special’ skill-set. (More on that in a moment.)
Don’t get caught up in the idea that writing to sell products is like being a salesman though …
Because freelance writer Mindy is going to tell you shortly, why the key to making a great living as a writer is NOT being ‘salesy.’
Online Writing Freedom Using Social Media
Does posting on social media sound more like entertainment than work?
I know – it sounds too good to be true. But listen to this …
Even brand new social media writers can earn $2,000 a month on retainer no less! (According to American Writers & Artists Inc. – the world’s leading online training company for writers.)
Most Internet users spend a couple of hours a week on social media. So, there’s a strong trend for business owners to increase their profits by placing ads on social media. They’re going to where the customers are hanging out.
But to do it, their posts have to be ‘social’ or they’ll stand out like a sore thumb.
Business owners need help writing short, quick entries that take just a few minutes.
Facebook threads, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest and all the others.
Often these writers are even posting from their cell phones!
Now if that’s not online writing freedom, I don’t know what is …
You’re going to need the ‘special skill.’ But for social media, this is a fast-track to earning for new writers.
You can grow a business using purely social media adding up $2,000+ retainers a month. Or, as many writers do, add it as an extra service.
Writing Online for Residual Income
Maybe you’re letting a chance for some residual income slip by without even thinking this is an option for you.
Did you know Kindle books are self-published?
Bob Bly is a perfect example. He’s written and published about 95 books. He sells them on Amazon. Bob writes “How-To” books. Anything in his wheelhouse, he writes about, publishes and gets paid. He makes more than $20,000 a month as a side-line residual income.
And he doesn’t fuss about formatting or graphics. Bob pays someone a couple of hundred dollars to do that. Learning that skill doesn’t interest him!
Bob puts on his sneakers and ‘jogs’ ten feet from his bedroom to his home office to ‘work’ each day. That’s the freedom of writing online, Bob style …
Then there’s Nick Usborne. He’s a curious kind of guy who likes to dabble in new things. So, when he thought he could see the Internet as an opportunity for writers about twenty years ago, he jumped from paper to online and hasn’t looked back.
In fact, he’s learned so much, he’s written online courses on writing for the web. It’s not always “residual” income as he does a little work.
He tweaks the courses to keep them up-to-date. And contributes to training webinars every so often just to add more to the experience.
But the online courses also sell with video presentation replays. So those bring him a residual income every time they’re sold.
Making Money from Setting up Your Own Website
We’ve talked about website owners paying you to write for them. But, we haven’t talked about setting up your own website for income. We call them “Money Making Websites.”
Say you’ve got a hobby you’re crazy about…
You can answer just about any question under the sun and enjoy keeping on top of anything new. Like the ‘home remedies for dogs’ website owner.
Or this writer tucked away in Thailand. Her website tackles one thing … juicing for health. She adds fresh articles to keep her followers happy. But, she’s getting paid from purchases made on her older articles as well. Her easy to maintain website makes around $4,000 a month.
A basic DIY website will cost you less than $200 to set up and run if you’re patient enough to master a few skills.
I set up a website for my writing business, start to finish all by myself. I didn’t even know how to use a computer until around 2012. So, when I say a little patience is all you need … I know!
Set up a website on a very specific subject, LOAD up your website often with great information and get paid.
Nick’s got a REALLY SIMPLE, but unique money making website. (Mindy will tell you about that.)
Writers Who Haven’t Discovered Online Writing Freedom
How often do you ‘Google’ and leave a site because the information is hard to read or lacks any credibility?
Happens to me all the time too!
These sites NEVER attract loyal readers because they’re not helpful or interesting. They’re part of the many online pages written by writers that are unaware there even is a ‘special skill.’
About the ‘special skill’ … it’s easy, but takes some practice.
When you learn it, writing for a living becomes a lot more lucrative.
Like ‘before and after’ Steve…
Before – He was an okay writer but had no clue where to find well-paid writing opportunities. He even wrote over 300 articles for a measly $5 each.After – He discovered the ‘special skill’ AND got some guidance on where to find clients who’d pay well… He’s paid over $200 an hour to write for industrial manufacturing businesses.
Turns out, Steve also learned how to use his 30 year career in industrial manufacturing to convert that knowledge to well-paid writing. Maybe you’ve got some on-the-job knowledge to write about too?
My friend Sherri called herself “a non-profit writer … as in writing for no profit.” She loved to write but didn’t think she could make a living out of it. When she learned the ‘special skill,’ she landed a retainer writing a newsletter for a women’s health company. Eighteen months later, she was making more every month than the entire year before.
There’s Sean who failed High School English … scrambled to make ends meet as Mr. Odd-job. Now he pays the bills as a financial writer! In fact, he says he knew his life had changed when he forgot to run his royalty check for $2,500 to the bank. He used to have to deposit a tiny $50 check straight away.
Icing on the cake for Sean … he helps homeschool his daughter. He’s not restricted to a schedule, or an office.
Online Writing Choices
There’s no doubt, online writing freedom is real. Just look at some of what you have to choose from!
- Magazine articles
- Website articles
- Website home pages
- Social Media posts. (There are writers making a six-figure income writing exclusively for social media.)
- Social Media ads. (The ones that pop up on the right hand side.)
- Google and many other search engine ads
- Catalogs
- Emails
- Sales letters
- E-books
- And more
Choose Offline or Online Writing?
Learn the ‘special skill’ AND where to find clients who’ll pay you well.
Then, you choose …
Offline — AKA — printed on paper
Or
Writing exclusively online … don’t even bother with traditional publications
Or both!
The Short and Long of Online Writing
A writer can easily get paid $250 (even up to $1,000) to write a Google ad. for a client … that’s about 50 well-chosen words or so.
On the other hand, you might prefer to write a 40,000 word e-book for a client or publish one yourself.
Get the idea? Few words or many words … well-paid writers understand high QUALITY writing … it’s NOT about high quantity!
Are you a die-hard learner who just enjoys foraging for new information on any subject? If you can dive online and research it, you can write about it. In fact, the best research makes for a great writer … always ready to uncover and share the intriguing facts.
It’s time to meet Mindy, and yes, she’ll tell you about the ‘special skill.’ She’ll also tell you the simple kind of writing that helped her grow a six-figure income as a new writer… And she’s excited to walk you along the same step-by-step path she followed.
Mindy is okay with sharing some of her 4.1+ billion readers with you. Go here to find out if offline or online writing freedom could be real for you too TODAY.
