| Lots
of Extra Money Waiting to be Made from Writing $5 Articles
There is probably
no easier way of earning extra money online. Yet many people
ignore online writing and lose all that extra money, mainly
because they get put off by those single digit dollar rates.
$5 is a common one.But
even as you read this, more and more writers are making lots
of extra money online and some are even making a living writing
articles. Yes, they’re doing it writing $5 articles
and even $3 articles
Writers
were never meant to be good in math so let us make a brief
comparison here between online writers earning lots of extra
money with $5 articles and offline writers writing $500 articles
to earn their extra money.
The
$500 article writer starts off sending queries to several
magazines. If they are really good at this marketing side
of freelance writing (most writers are not), they will probably
end up with about two assignments by the end of the week.
That’s $1,000, which is not bad, but hold your horses
a while. The article is not yet written, some research will
be required. Usually this will take two to three days per
article, and only if the writer is lucky and is able to find
sources and the information he needs quickly. So let us say
that they will probably take a week to research and write
the two $500 articles. The truth is that only very good and
experienced writers can accomplish this.
The
writer seeking to earn extra money from his writing (or worse
still to make a living) will need another two weeks or so,
sometimes much longer, for an editor to make a decision on
the article and communicate this information to them. If they
are extremely lucky, by the end of the month they’ll
have their $2,000 in extra money or income in their account.
But as any experienced writer will tell you, it rarely happens
quite like that. Inevitably there will be delays. Maybe the
article will be sent back for a re-write or the editor will
have a bad or really hectic week (happens all the time) and
it will take longer. The list of usual and possible problems
is too long to go into here.
Now
let us see how the poor, desperate $5 per article writer is
doing trying to earn extra money. If they can write fast,
they will be doing 10-15 articles per day. (some writers do
20 comfortably). All the research is done online for articles
ranging from 300 to 500 words. No delays in their efforts
to earn extra money or make a living from their online writing.
15 articles per day will give a writer an income of about
$2,250 in 30 days. That’s very good extra money. And
thanks to services like Paypal, many keyword writing programs
pay shortly after the article has been delivered via email.
Granted,
this may not be a lot of money, but it is excellent extra
money, earned easily by a writer doing what they enjoy most
- writing. And what a great way to launch a writing career
even as you earn lots of extra money. From the reputation
you build up over time, you can at the same time be targeting
bigger writing jobs.
I
started with $2.50cts articles. Mostly out of curiosity, I
wanted to see if I could really get paid and earn some extra
money. Gradually I realized that a four-figure monthly income
was easy to achieve. Later I was able to land $500 assignments
(mainly from offline magazines, but everything was done online).
Still $2.50cts online writing assignments remained my bread
and butter for a long time. The rest is history.
You
could be ignoring your big opportunity to earn easy extra
money online from your writing, even as you find your feet
as a writer. It’s easy extra money if nothing else.Christopher
