If you are thinking that I’m going to talk about the usual scams that offer you the chance to get rich quick for little effort then think again, for there is a way to write articles for money, and many people are making a very decent living out of it.

The internet has given rise to a new way of marketing and selling goods, and as a result there is a need for people to write articles on many different subjects; furthermore, as not everybody is a great writer, and as some people selling goods by website have not the time to write articles, the chance for anyone with a little time on their hands to earn some extra money writing articles from home is very real indeed.

What do you need? You need some time – how much depends on how much you want to earn – and an internet connection, plus a little bit of common sense. You do not need a major understanding of the ways and means of internet marketing but it is advisable to do a little bit of research first.

We would recommend you look up the term SEO – this stands for Search Engine Optimization. Many articles you will get to write will be SEO oriented; don’t be put off by the jargon, for all it means is that it is written in a way that makes it easier for search engines to find it. The techniques involve using particular phrases and words – known as ‘keywords’ – and while it may seem complex to you at first it is actually very simple indeed.

Fortunately for us there are many websites dedicated to helping those who need writers find them and vice versa; enter ‘freelance writing jobs’ in your search engine and you will be offered many and, as with any search, take a look at the ones that rank the highest.

You will be required to register although most sites are free, and you enter your speciality subjects and abilities. The technique involves – almost always – ‘bidding’ for a job; the buyer will post the details and you then bid with details of price and experience, and if possible, relevant work to date. Some of these sites offer the chance for new writers to apply for special jobs – it is highly recommended you take advantage of this, as you will be accorded a ‘rating’ by the buyer, and this is used by other buyers to see how good you are.

The golden rules of writing articles involve following the clients requirements and keeping to any formatting they may request: some require certain fonts and sizes, others bolded phrases for recognition. Correct grammar, spelling and syntax are essential – make sure you use a spell-checker but do not rely on it – and with experience you will soon find your ability enhanced!
