Writing articles on the Internet is a good way to earn some extra cash on the Internet. The thing about writing articles online is, you can make as much money as you want. Unfortunately, many writers don’t know this and usually get caught in the writing sweatshop mill. This is when you write articles for a low amount like $3 per article. Writers can make really good money writing and selling their own pre-written articles. To get paid to write articles is not a hard task. Here is how you can sell articles on your own website without breaking a sweat:
Create a website with your pre-written articles on it. Selling pre-written articles can supplement your income when regular ‘writing jobs’ are scarce. To appeal to webmasters, you could make more sales if you limited what type of articles you write. For example, many writers will only sell health articles. For one, the search engines will drive more traffic to your site if you focus on one topic.
To set up your website, you can use a free website at Blogger. Don’t worry that your clients will look down on your site because it is free. In fact, Blogger is very well known in the online world and is very trusted. People are more concerned with the content you have on the site and the overall look than rather it is a free domain or not. In fact, having a free domain on a blog is a little more acceptive than having a free domain on a regular website.
After you set up your free Blogger blog, you will now need to write at least 5 original articles. Make sure they are free from grammar and spelling errors. You should make all articles at least 500 words. Now, the key to selling original articles is to do your own research. Don’t just find an article and then rewrite it because it will show up in the Copyscape test as a duplicate. You should research your own articles as if you were writing an essay. Take bits and pieces from different sources and re-write them in your own words. Now, package the articles together as an E-book (you don’t have to do this but it makes it easier to deliver the articles upon purchase). Now, write a blog post and include a sales page. Make sure the sales page has the word count, article title and a brief sample of the article about 4-5 sentences long. This should be done for all 5 articles. Now, it is time to add your Paypal button. You can get the html code for a ‘buy now’ button to place in the sales page.
So what do you charge for these 5 articles? Charge whatever you think your work is amount, although I suggest anything under $50. For these 5 articles, $47 seems to be a really good deal. This means you will get paid about $9.40 for each article. This is a whole lot better than writing 5 articles for $10 such as with some writing places like Associated Content.
Will people buy? Yes, because webmasters and publishers will always need content. They will have more faith in you with the more articles you sell them. The key to really making money online writing is to get clients that keep coming back for more! You can also increase your chances of selling your articles by including writing samples. Also, people are more comfortable buying articles from sellers who have a verified Paypal account. It lets them know you are legit and really don’t have anything to hide.
Make sure to include the terms of the articles as well. When selling pre-written articles online, it is better to offer full rights (or exclusive rights) to the buyer. This is because the buyer of these articles would like to claim themselves as the original writer. Some buyers of articles also resell the content for a higher price on their own website. In other words, your articles will sell faster if you offer full rights. Make sure to include your contact info so that buyers of your articles will trust you. They may have questions about the terms of the articles and your prior writing history.
Some other things to take note of when selling your articles: Always try to stick to one topic. While you may think it easier to offer a large topic of articles at once, the online selling business does not work like this anymore. Now that everyone is starting to open an online business, it is getting harder to sell products/services on the Internet. You will need to learn about conversion rates and how to write the perfect blog post title to sell your articles. Be as specific as possible in order to grab the attention of web surfers who may be looking for quality articles for sell.
If you are not confident enough to sell your own articles on the Internet, you could use content marketplaces like Constant-Content and DailyArticle.com. This way, you will not have to do a lot of advertising or marketing. There are some cons to using sites like these: for one, the competition is very high as many people are looking to get paid online writing articles. Also, certain topics sell better than others. It does help to look for hot topics at YahooBuzz before deciding on a topic to write on.
