If the goal is $1,000+ per month you may want to start structuring your service. If you are confident your services are high quality you are going to have to set yourself apart from those that will do the job at cheaper rates.

For example you could create packages which promise to give a certain amount of articles at set prices. Often consumers will buy in bulk so that they purchase less so seeing a 5 article package compared to paying a set amount per article may be crucial.

Also be sure to ask your clients for referrals, testimonials, and feed back. If you are building a site to promote your business the testimonials will increase your credibility, while referrals will keep business flowing. Although there will only be so much you can handle until you need to expand and possibly bring other writers into the business to handle the workload.

Make sure you have a TOS (Terms of Service) this lets customers know what you can and can't do in whatever amount of time you set. This will broaden deadline times dramatically giving you breathing room as well as keeping clients you can't help away.

fiverr.com is a pretty good idea. To make even more money quicker and easier you can hire some writers that offers the same services as you do. They will do the job for you... you will be the boss instead. So, you charge them 5 bucks for each article on the subject of your choice. Choose a good writer with good reputation on fiverr... and bingo! $$$.

A great deal is going to depend on the quality of your writing. If you're good, you shouldn't be settling for a few dollars per article. If you are just starting, you could start with a low introductory rate and plan to increase it when you've received some positive feedback from clients.

I started with a post in the Warriors For Hire section. If you can afford it ($20), it's a great place to start. I started there doing articles for $5, increased it to $10 within a week and now I don't even advertise there anymore because I have regular clients that pay no less than $50 an article. I still offer proofreading and editing services here because I love doing that type of work. Ironically, that service has evolved in to project management work!

My point....just start somewhere and see where that leads you.

If you'd like me to take a look at your writing to give you more specific feedback, I'd be happy to do it for free to help you get started.

Good Luck!

Do you have a favorite topic or something your are passionate about? If so, try a blog. It takes awhile, but eventually you can get some nice steady income...

I agree, here. Tiffany is awesome.

As for your goal? Don't sell yourself short at $1.50. Have you looked at sites like textbroker and ecopywriter? Have you looked at job board sites like Elance, oDesk, etc?

Freelancing sites have tough competition. Do a googlesearch for "expert writers wanted" and apply at a large online business DIRECTLY. Go to them, dont wait for them to come to you

Try TextBroker...you submit an article and they grade you and set your writing level between 1-5. The higher you're rated-the more they pay you per article. Level 4 makes over $6 per article. Level 5 makes $7-$8.

Hi,

I believe that textbroker is only good for those of you who are in the U.S. I like their system of rating writing though. Especially if you can get the higher rating!

If you are a good at writing, you perhaps should consider writing offline. Many of my writing sources are through Writers' Market. You can buy it online at Amazon or most of the major book resellers. Many of the magazines referenced pay substantially more than anything online that I am aware of, although writing standards may be a hurdle.

I would highly recommend that firesale above. A firesale is basically when someone sells a bunch of their past products in a package for much cheaper. It is well worth the money since you are getting hundreds of dollars worth of her products for fairly cheap. I am an experienced writer and found the information very useful.

Textbroker is a great place to start. If you rank a 3 star you will be making one cent per word for 3 star job. 4 stars get paid even better. There are always hundreds to thousands of available writing jobs there. I still write there between clients to meet my daily goal.

Thanks
