Get Started Writing Online

Online writing is an excellent opportunity for anyone who has wanted to write but didn’t quite know how. It’s never been easier to get a writing career going. Forget the stereotypical starving artist shivering in a garret somewhere; use these tips to get started.

1. Consider what kind of writing you want to do: Do you want to write fiction or non-fiction? Do you want to write short stories, a novel, articles, a book? Do you want to work for yourself or to write for clients?

2. What experience do you already have? If you haven’t written anything since high school, don’t despair: There are plenty of opportunities for you to brush up your writing skills. You may want to take an online writing class, but there are plenty of them available, many of them for free.

3. What subjects do you like to write about? For example, if you are a nurse, you may enjoy writing accounts of day-to-day life at the hospital. (You will probably need to fictionalize some details for patient confidentiality.) Or you may want to write about health-care developments. Likewise, if technology fascinates you, you can write about your experience with the latest digital camera.

4. Once you’ve given these questions some thought, search for online writing opportunities. There are many websites for all sorts of writers. If you write fiction (or want to), there are some sites that give you ideas to write about and that also allow you to post your efforts online (either privately or for review by others).

5. If you write nonfiction, the sky’s the limit: There are article banks that allow you to write articles on any subject (they can provide the topic or you can submit whatever you like). These articles are purchased by clients who use them on their websites. Who gets the money from the purchase? You do, along with the website. How much you get paid depends on the website and the subject (some topics are more popular than others), but this is a great way to get your “brand” established as a writer.

Another option for nonfiction online writing can be found in freelance job sites. Writers can read project proposals (for articles, e-books, website creation etc.) and submit bids indicating how much they would charge to do the project and how long it would take to do it. Working these sites can be tricky because many clients simply choose the lowest bid, but with a little know-how, you can get a lot of interesting, well-paying work.

Still another option is to advertise your services: Set up a website that tells about yourself, the online writing services you offer and some samples of your work. Post ads on Craigslist, internet marketing forums, social networking sites, etc. Don’t forget to tell your friends and co-workers (word of mouth will always be the best advertising).

While it may take a little time to get your online writing career going full steam, if you work at it consistently, you can start making some real money in a very short amount of time. But it will only happen if you get started now.
