The Best Money Making Web Writing Is Blogging...Eventually.


world wide web writer
The best way for you to make money web writing is to own and operate your own blog.  With a self-hosted blog that has quality content and advertisement on it you stand to make a good sum of money, especially if your blog has a lot of traffic. 

Unfortunately, many web content writers don't believe that.  They see the immediate gratification that they get from up-front paying sites and jump all over it.  Also, many talented web content writers will write highly successful articles and posts for sites like Hubpages, Squidoo and Associated Content only to have to share the money that it makes.

Here's Why Many Web Writers Decide To Share The Money Their Articles Make


  • Sites like Associated Content (owned by Yahoo!), Squidoo, and Hubpages already have lots of page rank and lots of traffic (despite what happened to them with Google's algorithm update).  This fact gives articles and posts placed on their websites a good chance of making money.
  • Some web writers just want to write.  They don't want to have to deal with operating a site, paying fees, placing advertisements and, well...worrying.  They just want to write.
  • Unfortunately, many talented web writers who could be reaping huge rewards with their work don't know how easy it can be to start making money web writing on their own, or free blog sites.

I'm Here To Tell Ya':  Creating A Blog Couldn't Be Easier


Go to Blogger.com (you're already reeeeaaaal close if you're reading this).  If you already have a Google account you're about 3 clicks and 100 typed characters (depending on the URL you're trying to register) from creating your blog and being ready to roll.

Once you start blogging with Blogger you can play with template design and such and learn how to quickly build some beautiful blog layouts.  Blogger makes it super simple to add helpful, fun gadgets and even to monetize with Adsense and Amazon Associates. The possibilities are endless. 

Don't let anyone tell you that a Blogspot blog is a second rate citizen of the blogosphere, either.  You're a web writer, right?  Well, then write. Create an attractive blog with a clean layout and write that AWESOME content that you usually do...just do it for yourself.

Take The Time And You'll Be Fine

Remember when I said that those other sites have great page rank and traffic already?  Yeah, that was an oppositional statement which means the exact opposite was going to pop up at some point, right?

You won't have traffic to you site at first.  So create it!  Write great content often.  Pair it up with nice pictures and video.  Then Tweet, Post, Delicious, Stumble and Reddit the hell out of it!

It's your content.  Put it in your own web writing world that you create and GO CRAZY WITH IT!
