Content is the basic element of websites as it’s a lot more important than the website interface, domain or anything else. Content is needed all the time especially by those webmasters, who make their money of large website groups. It’s very understandable that they do have neither the time nor interest to write content theirself. So they hire someone to do their content writing. That can be you!
Starting content writing couldn’t be easier. The first thing you’re going to need is a portfolio. It can be a blog, website, word document, what ever that will convince the publisher (buyer) of your skills and abilities as a writer. A good portfolio is personal, enough large and carefully planned. Please note that without a good portfolio you can’t be a content writing. You need it as much as a taxi driver needs the car.
There are numerous of text types, but here are some samples of what you’re going to be doing.
Articles are one of the most used content on websites. They are usually not very large and have no formal pretensions. They can be used on many kind of webpages, not limited to blogs.
Forum posts are a content form that where in the publisher needs the posts to be written directly in the forum. There are several of forum platforms like phpBB, smf etc. When writing to a forum, be aware in which topics/areas the buyer wants the posts to be post.
Ebook writing is a quite challenging process. You’re going to write the whole ebook from scratch. The details can vary very much debending on the project. If you’re not qualified, DO not try to get an ebook project as it will most definetely be very tough and time waste if you can’t complete the project.
Bulk writing is meant usually for chinese and indians, but you can do it as well. Bulk writing means basicly writing as much as possible in a short time. Usually the payment isn’t very good. Stick with professional and specially with academic writing, if you want to make good money per article. But if you’re very fast to write, then feel free to try your bulk writing skills. It’s the word count which counts in it.
Reviews are usually product or website reviews. Usually you need to make some research like use the product etc. before writing as they will not convince anybody either.
– And the list could continue forever. After you’ve created your portfolio, it’s time to get you a project. You can search for projects in any of the sites below. Try approaching with a well-written ad-letter to the publish with your portfolio and you’ll get projects.
Getafreelancer.com is one of the best websites to search for projects. It has everything from forum posting, ebook writing to academic writing.
Elance.com is definetely one of the largest websites and it has pretty good interface. It’s my personal favorite.
