Well it depends on your circumstances. I started looking for ways to monetize my writing passions, and got consumed in learning every internet marketing method out there practically. When I began, I had zero tech skills, barely knew how to use email, lol.



However, if you need money now. Write articles on any of the sites mentioned above or offer up services here. If your ok financially, and have some time to research, then start with choosing a niche market, start a blog, and start affiliate marketing. Write informative articles, product reviews, and link to or direct traffic to your chosen affiliate offers. If you go this route, there is a learning curve that includes 'building a list, cultivating that list with email follow-ups, and having the pieces in order to effectively market to your chosen niche audience.

What you'll find are 3 HUGE means of making money from your writings are article marketing/syndication, copywriting or ad copy, and email marketing... as they are all written forms of marketing. Then of course creating your own products. (*Training courses, eBooks, Kindle Books, PLR, email campaigns, etc...) - which you generally need to have the marketing knowledge to back your efforts.

I personally opted for writing reviews, and creating content on my own domains. hosting, websites, and a few free web properties. Didn't make much as first, but as time denotes, many of my earliest efforts still produce sales from review articles and pieces I wrote 4 years ago. (*I actually wish I had done more back then, lol)

Leaning more towards utilizing all the knowledge I've collected over the years to start creating products, and building more long-term content based websites.

But, if I could choose only one, I'd go with affiliate promotions through article marketing and writing reviews on new and proven products and services. Pays better in the long haul, then writing other peoples content for them to bank off of your work.

How much do you charge for an article?

Are you a native english speaker?

Personally i would suggest Freelancer they have thousands of projects.

The best way to make money as a freelance writer: create your own writing jobs; don't wait for them to become available and bid on them. If you have a gift for writing, this is a valuable commodity. Sell the commodity the same way you would anything of value.

There's plenty of blogs that need a staff writer. I did this many moons ago for a sports site.

I approached saying I love your blog - can I write a post? (for free). It impressed and from then on I received $10-$20 an article, writing one most days from the back of the university lecture ;-) Handy beer money.

Good luck. Don't be afraid to ask.
