Start a Home Business Writing...

If you like to write and want to start a home business, or at the very least make a few bucks, writing may be the way to go. There is a VERY high demand for writers online. Website owners are looking for fresh content. They NEED it. Even those who write most of their own content look for fresh content. It is also a great way to help those who are selling a product or service. They need a good sales copy to promote their products and services.

3 main ways to earn money writing online

One: Freelance writing.

As a freelance writer, you will receive credit for your work. (If you have website or online business, submitting articles to places like ezinearticles.com can be a great way to add incoming links to your site or blog.) Depending on the size of the website you are writing for, the pay for freelancers may be small, or even non-existent. The exposure for your name and business may be all you get for your work. However, a good name is a great beginning to a lucrative and successful writing career.

Two: Ghostwriting.

Website owners hire ghostwriters to write articles for their website or blog, as well as special reports and eBooks that they sell or give away. The downside to this is that when someone ghostwrites an article for someone, they do not receive credit for it. Hence the term “ghost” in the name; the writer is invisible. The person paying for the work will receive the credit for it. This may not be a good thing for someone trying to build a good name for themselves in the writing industry.

On a good note, ghostwriters generally get paid very well for their efforts. The amount will vary from client to client. A beginning ghostwriter can expect to earn anywhere from $7 - $10 for a 450 to 500 word article. Once the writer has established their self and has a few regular clients, they can start charging more.

Three: CopyWriting.

Copy writing is a high paying form of writing. It is also the most specialized form of writing. Generally speaking, ghostwriters and freelance writers do not need any special skills other than being good writers. A copywriter however, needs to have a way with words and sales skills.

A copywriter can find work online writing advertisements and sales letters for the various websites and products found online. A copywriter will write this information in a way that makes the reader feel they cannot live without a certain product or service.

In closing, using a tool such as Writers Market and networking with other writers in forums will help you to find places that hire writers and you will gain knowledge to help you become more successful at your craft. There are also tons of freelance sites out there with job boards to help you find writing work. Once you get a good name for yourself, you may find people coming directly to you in hopes that you can complete a project for them.

Choosing the Right Keywords is a MUST!

Choosing the right keywords for your website is VERY important! Especially if you expect to receive any quality traffic. Without the right keywords, people may never find your site even if it has the exact information they are looking for.

Keywords play a big part in the way your site is ranked by search engines. You will want to make sure you use the right keywords to get those rankings up and bring those visitors in.

Tips to consider when trying to choose the right keywords:

1. Using a keyword tool such as WordTracker.com will help you to determine what keywords people are actually searching for in your niche, how stiff your competition might be for certain keyword phrases and can supply you with words you didn't think of.

2. A keyword that is searched frequently is not necessarily a keyword that you should use especially if you have a lot of competition. Think about who your competing with and possibly search for a better, less searched phrase to help target in on your market even better. Once you get more established, then you can take on the big shots.

3. Include several variations of your keyword phrases if possible. Don't go overboard though. People are looking for quality content and if you have articles on your site that has your keywords or phrases in it every other sentence they will most likely leave and never return!

These are just a few simple tips to get you started on the right foot with your keyword selections. You can find tons of information on choosing the right keywords as well as tips for using them correctly on your site by doing a search. Simply type in keyword tools, keyword selection, help with keywords, keyword training, and the like. You will find TINS of helpful information out there!
