Make $100 a Day Writing Online

Lisa Mason
If you're a writer who hasn't yet tried the online market or someone who currently writes online and wants to discover how to make more, then this article is for you. If you have the talent and the ability, you can make as much as $100 a day writing content for the Web.

Content is critical to the Internet and the success of an Internet business. This is why it is so important to businesses to find great content and this is where you can step in as an excellent content provider. If you know how to produce the content, the next step is to know where to sell it.

Here are some ways that you can make $100 a day writing online:

• Direct clients

• Ghostwriting

• Web content

• Bidding sites

• Revenue sharing sites

• Freelance sites

You can find direct clients by writing to them, sending in resumes and other online advertising. Ghostwriting means you write for someone else without getting your name or byline and this could be anything from books to articles and more. Web content is needed for various Web sites online.

Bid sites allow you to bid on projects that buyers have posted and compete against other writers for jobs of your choosing. Revenue sharing sites give you money for page views or according to the ads that run on the site with your articles.

Freelance sites are an opportunity for you to advertise your services and apply to projects that are posted. This might also include writers' forums and similar opportunities to find jobs and earn money writing online.

If you want high paying assignments, remember that you're going to have to write high quality content. You get what you pay for and the same can be said when it comes to writing online. If you expect to make more than $5 per article you write, then it's necessary to learn to write better. It's also going to mean you need to write faster and more accurately and learn to be organized and dedicated to your work.

When you work at home, it's easy to find it difficult to stay on track and write as much as you need to but this will be essential if you want to earn regular money. Something else that will be important is your online portfolio.

Like most businesses online today, you're going to need an online presence that properly represents who you are and what you can do as far as writing is considered. Your online portfolio is what will help you begin earning $100 a day writing online.

    good information, as usual, and very encouraging.

  • April Bair 2/6/2010

    Great! My regular income has been sub teaching where I make $90 a day so a $100 a day online plan is my goal this year!

  • Augustlace 2/6/2010

    I thought I'd be happy at $100/day, then I read Lyn's comment. Wow! I need to get it in gear!

  • Victoria Erin 2/5/2010

    After I get done with the articles I have lined up for AC I'm so taking your advice becuase I can't be sure when I will be able to get back into the outside workfield again with the economy as it is. Still sucks that I got fired for being preggo. And yes, I'm persusing getting back a 20hr work week that they had me miss. That's all I want for compensation.

  • Lisa Mason 2/5/2010

    Very true, Lyn. My kiddos would starve if I wasn't making more than that. It's a decent starting point for a new writer though.

  • Lyn Lomasi 2/5/2010

    Great advice. Really, writers can make much more than $100/day at this once they get a rhythm down. :-)

  • Lisa Mason 2/5/2010

    $100/day x5 days per week = $500/wk or $2,000/mth. Barely more than min. wage. If you're not making at least this much at a full time job, there's a problem.

  • Linda Ann Nickerson 2/5/2010

    Good ideas. Of course, a writer really has to have some hustle to sustain that level of income.
