finally making it happen but need advice

After 2 years of tinkering with IM I am finally making it happen. About 2 months ago I got serious, picked one niche (content creation/writing) and started to put things in motion to start making some money. The exciting part is I am now making money. The challenging part is I can see I need to work on improving my per hour or per project revenue. I finally got to the point about 2 weeks ago where I had most of the set up done and could start writing/accepting projects.

Here is what I have done so far:

1-Set up, designed and completed my own website offering my services.

2-Placed ads on fiverr.com, mycheapjobs.com, gigbucks.com and peopleperhour.com

3-Joined iwriter.com, hirewriters.com and textbrokers.com

The results so far:

3 sales on Fiverr

2 sales on mycheapjobs.com

30 articles written through iwriter and hirewriters combined.


Writing for the writing services really brings down the per hour revenue but I feel it is good experience and helps make a few bucks when just starting out. I really need some advice from others on if I am on the right track and what I should be doing to get sales through my website and to increase my per hour/per project revenue.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

    Write some guest posts with a link pointing back to your website. I try to write at least one every week. Great way to attract more clients.

    Don't forget to create a thread in this section of the forum Warriors For Hire.

    Good luck.

      For sure. I spent a significant amount of time hopping from idea to idea.
