Quick Question Concerning Article Writing....

I believe BST threads at Digital Point do not require a fee, so you can try posting a thread there. Be warned, you might not get a lot of interest if you're a new member of their site.

Article writing is highly in demand both at DP and here. I suggest you first get testimonials for your services or provide a few good samples, then GET $20 and post a WSO.

Article writing or Ghost writers are in great demand. How much would you charge for a 500-600 words SEO copyrighted articles?

First off .. Stay away from that scamming DigitalPoint forum (why people post that crap here I have no idea) ..

secondly - I am with Lian, what do you charge for 500-600 word article that is keyword rich and is freshly written ??

James

You should check out Associated Content - associatedcontent.com

They pay up to $5-$7 for each quality unique article.

I checked Associated Content, and I didn't see anything about $5-$7 per article.

Any other suggestions? I can write, and I need to generate some cash today!

I second associated content. It will take them a few days to review it and there is no guarantee you will even get an offer or not. It depends on what you write about and how your writing is.

You can go to elance and place 3 bids for free.

That's my only suggestions to make cash with no investment.

Check out my sig or this other post http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...tep-guide.html

But Also associated content pays pretty much once the article is submitted which is probably only a day

Maybe it was just my personal experience, but with Associated Content, it literally took them a week to send me an offer for my articles.

I guess it's possible that has changed and they are accepting and making offers for your work quicker, but that was how it worked for me.

Just my .02

If I were you, I'd try rent-a-coder. I got decent paying jobs from there before.

I would remove the free article offer from your signature, because why would someone pay you when they can get it for free?

You can't do a WSO until you have 30 posts as well as the fee.

Often you will find people looking for writers it takes time to look through pages, but don't go back months and then expect them to be still wanting writers.

You need to have some samples you can show people, preferably through your site. You need to know how much you are charging for an article and how many you are prepared to write.

Say your goal is $400 you could write 100 article @$4 or you could write 50 @$8 or you could write 20 @$20. See the difference and why it is important to know what your goals are before you start.

As with any other business, a writing business will take time and a lot of effort to develop.

It IS possible to get there, however, and for an American you won't have to pay out any money to get there.

1) As mentioned above, write articles for Associated Content. I wish I had been able to do this when I was starting out!
2) If you cannot afford to get your own domain and hosting, start with a free site like a Blogger blog. Just get it up there!
3) Make quality posts on the Warrior Forum with your new site in your signature file to get your name seen and get it noticed.
4) Keep a look out for people wanting writers. Apply to anybody you see. Don't expect a great success with this - it is very competitive - but there is nothing to lose by trying
5) When you have made some money, either from AC, from people responding to your blog, or from Warriors you have applied to write for, you can reinvest it in a) running a WSO, b) advertise in the Warrior For Hire section, and c) getting your own domain and hosting and putting up a professional website.
6) Keep posting, keep running WSOs, and keep delivering quality!

There is work out there for quality writers. Follow the above and you should find it possible to pick some of it up.

contact steve wagenheim. He still writes article by hand, and presumably knows how to shift 'em.

The main freelance sites you'll want to register at for writing jobs are:

1) scriptlance (dot) com
2) elance (dot) com
3) rentacoder (dot) com

When I outsource I use scriptlance as it's a good clean site. As a writer with zero feedback, it'll be hard to charge more than about $5/article to start with. The reality is writing articles is a very low paying job to begin with as anyone can do it. If you have other skills like graphic design, programming etc. it's worth trying that.

Do this:

Write your own product about writing good articles and then use article marketing to pimp it. You could also email article directory owners and see if they would review it and, if they like it, send it to their authors or post on their article submission page.

If you can write well, you can have a profitable business running within 24 hours.

Seriously, you could have money in your Paypal account by this evening!

You gotta use what you can do! Often times, the easy way out is not the best way.
