When doing article writing, you can get a dollar for every word you write. It depends on how much you charge but knowing that you just started writing, no one will be willing to give more than a dollar for a word unless your work is too good.

The faster you write the more work your company will give you to write. This is just how article writing works. Articles are published every day in magazines and newspapers so many companies are looking for fast writers who can provide daily articles for them to publish.

You can go up to your local newspaper shops and ask them if they have any work for you. Keep your rates below 2 dollars at first because no one will be willing to hire such an expensive beginner writer.

2. Ghostwriting

This is when you write for people but you don’t get any credit for it. The people you write for will get all the credit for it but you can charge up to 3x more as you don’t get any credit.

Ghostwriters are known to make the most money in this writing industry because they can charge up to 3x more than usual. No other writer can do this, they can but no one will pay them to triple the amount.

If you’re the guy who knows a lot about technology, then this writing job is definitely for you. Not many writers supply this kind of work but there’s a lot of demand for them.

Not everyone is an expert with technology meaning not everyone can do this job. Technical writers write manuals and guides for big companies resulting in big paycheques.

Companies hire technical writers to make their boring guide a little interesting by adding a conversational element to it.

4. SEO writing

5. Course writing

Course writing is something not every writer can do as it can take up to months to produce a course for a school. This is why not many writers do this but, if you have the passion for it, you should do it as you can charge up to more than three thousand dollars for one whole course.

6. Make a blog

Once you’ve chosen a writing style, you can go ahead and make yourself a blog and post your content on it. A blog can be a sort of a side income for you. It can also be your main source of income if you can write faster.

A blog is something people use to convey their ideas and work to their audience. Try to keep up with the SEO trends because if you don’t, no one will be able to read your writing even if you’re producing the best content out there.
