Many people dream of having a career as a writer. While technically anyone can start writing and call themselves a writer, if you would like to writing to be your main source of income then you must learn how to sell the words that you write.
Here are three ways that you can get paid to write.
1. Write Articles for Magazines
Traditionally freelance writers have mainly written articles for magazines. Often magazines pay freelance writers from $0.15 to $0.35 per word. At the top end are magazines that pay one to two dollars per word. These tend to be publications with a big circulation such as women’s magazines, travel publications, and even in-flight magazines.
2. Write and Sell E-Books
Many freelance writers are now writing, publishing and selling ebooks through the Internet. Ebooks take less time to write and publish than traditional books. And it is possible to manage the entire process yourself – you write an ebook then you publish it and start marketing and selling it.
Ebook authors typically receive 50% to 90% of the price for each copy sold – and that is considerably better than the tiny amount traditional book authors receive from each copy.
3. Blogging For Money
Blogs are another way for writers to earn some additional income . Blogs are easy to set up and having a professional design is inexpensive due to plenty of ready-made blogging templates.
