Make Money With Web Writing: Basic Questions to Ask Yourself

Want to make money with Web writing? Many Web writers are making a great income, while other talented writers are not. If you’re starving in the midst of plenty, it’s time to ask yourself some basic questions.

For best results, WRITE down both the questions, and the answers. You can only plot a route when you know both where you’re starting from, and where you’re headed.

Here we go.

1. What’s My Hourly Rate?

Start by deciding on your hourly rate. Yes, your hourly rate is something that you set for yourself. $30 an hour is a very basic hourly rate for a competent, beginning Web writer. Top Web writers make $150 an hour and more.

However, you’ll need to work your way up to these high hourly rates, because achieving them depends on the experience that you have, and the results that you get.

2. Where Can I Find Clients Who Will Pay My Hourly Rate?

The best way to find clients is not to hunt for them; you’re wasting time when you do this. Clients should be coming to you either because you advertise, or because you take the time to brand yourself online. “Branding” means marketing yourself.

If you’re a new Web writer, sign up at one of the many outsourcing sites.

Your aim in signing up is to get jobs AND testimonials. Testimonials are vital. As a complete unknown, you’re asking buyers to take a chance on you. Unfortunately there are many people who call them selves “writers”, so many people who buy writing regularly have been burned.

Therefore, it’s essential that you build your credibility. You do this by getting testimonials.

Once you have testimonials, advertise your Web writing services and you’ll find people who are happy to pay your hourly rate.

3. Where Do I Go from Here — How Do I Increase My Income?

To be able to increase your income, you need to provide more value. You provide more value by learning more, and putting that knowledge into practice. There’s only one difference between a writer who’s earning $30 an hour and a writer is making 150 or $200 an hour and it’s this: the more highly paid writer provides more value, and is able to prove that he provides value.

There are literally unlimited opportunities in Web writing today, and for the foreseeable future. Answer these basic questions, and your income as a Web writer grow exponentially.
