Are you a beginner? Read this...
I was perusing DP a few weeks back and came across a post from another member who was looking for someone to re-write articles for them. They paid $2 for each re-write.
I took the job because I wanted to get some writing practice in (yes you read that right) and figured why not get paid while I do it.
Now I know what your thinking. "$2 for rewriting an article is chump-change. How am I going to generate any sizable income doing that?" Well here's how. The guy provided me with 15 articles to rewrite and needed them done in a week.
He stated there was another 15 waiting for me if things worked out well. So off I went. I finished rewriting the articles in my spare time. It took roughly two days for me to finish. He liked them and then sent the 15 more as promised.
I completed another 15 articles and felt I had distanced myself enough away from my own niche that I could jump back into it, so I declined an additional 15 articles he wanted to send my way.
This immediately got me thinking. Why are beginners not doing this? It's not all that hard. Your research is done. As long as you can put things into your own words you'd be able to ace this easily.
15 x $2 = $30
On top of that the guy gave you a whole seven days to finish the project.
Now I bet I know what your thinking. "That's a whole lot of work for little pay." Your right it probably is. It's not anything I would've done if I wasn't looking for something to write while I distanced myself from a niche I was struggling with.
BUT when I was a beginner and didn't have any other sources of revenue, this easily would have provided me with the cash fix I was looking for.
So look at this way. Your new, a beginner and your spending hours and hours reading forums just like this one--looking, no desperately seeking the answer to your burning questions.
Or you could take one hour out of your day (or two depending on how fast you write) and do some article rewriting. Get all 15 done in a week and you'd have $30/weekly.
That's not some pie-in-the-sky method either, that's an honest to good-ness actionable plan.
$30/week would add up to $120/month easily. At that point you've made more money in a month than most beginners would make in an entire year.
Anyways, just an idea I wanted to share with those who are struggling. Is putting this plan into work exciting? Probably not, but would you rather have cash now or wait six months for your first $100 adsense check?
