Someone reads
and accepts or rejects them. You set the price you want to charge for
the article, and buyers can purchase the article through the site.
Although plenty of the articles there are low-paying, a number of
articles sell for $100 or more.
Once you have gained one or two credits through these
places, try out Rent A Coder. It’s the best place to begin to get a
feel for the client side of web writing. You will be able to bid and
write up a proposal for various projects. The buyer will select someone
and pay Rent A Coder the agreed-upon fee (that you set) for the project.
You can communicate with the buyer throughout the entire process, and
you will be paid once the work is completed.
While you can continue writing for Associated Content
and Rent A Coder, you should begin to search out new jobs before you
begin to rely on one source. The first rule of writing is to diversify.
If you’re depending on one client or source, then you’re in serious
trouble if they disappear. Begin searching free job boards at places
like Writer’s Row so that you can start applying for jobs. Streamline
the process by writing up a standard introductory letter that you simply
tailor to each ad and put together your resume.
People serious about web content writing should have
their own website as their eventual goal. As soon as you’ve had five
writing projects for websites, it’s time to put together a site. You
can include your rates or ask people to email you with project details.
Include your bio and links to your work. Also include any special
experience or areas of expertise that you have.
By following this simple plan, you will be positioning
yourself to begin to make a living as a web writer.
