Ok…so maybe your not the world’s best writer. Maybe you don’t have much interest in becoming an internet blogger. But that’s ok, you can still make free money online by putting your keyboard to use for just a short amount of time. You don’t need to have a degree in journalism to be able to write content that will make you make you some bucks anytime you need extra cash.
Here’s where to start. First, think of a few things you know something about like a hobby, an occupation or a sport. It’s always better to write about what you know. It’s more fun that way and easier to get motivated. Once you’ve narrowed down a few topics you want to write about–go ahead and write about 350 words on the topic. This “article” can be just facts, tips or your opinion on a matter. Once that’s done you can start making some money by posting it to your own blog (don’t let that word scare you–it’s free and easy to set up) on sites like Squidoo or About.com. They’ll pay you as people come to your article and click on the advertisements. You won’t get rich quick doing this but it can definitely bring you in a little extra cash.
If you want to go a different route and write on demand, go ahead and pimp yourself out as an article writer on Digital Point Forum. Website owners hire writers from Digital Point to write all kinds of articles and web content for their sites. One well written article will usually get you about $8 a pop. If you’re really ambitious you can offer ten articles for $75 or so. This will gaurantee you a more sizeable stash of cash. Usually, if you’re good, you’ll get a good reputation on DP and the work will start flowing in. But, be careful! The orders for articles can start piling up and you can find writing turn into a full-time “part-time” job if you’re not careful. Good Luck!
I’ll keep digging if you keep reading!
