Get Paid to Write Blog Posts
Blogging is a great hobby, but you can actually earn an income from it too. Earning money by blogging is quick and simple and anyone can get started. You don’t even need great writing skills, just some passion and expertise on a particular niche.
There are a couple of ways that you can get into paid blogging. The second technique below is easier to get quick money, but the first technique is better if you want more longer term success.
1) Get Paid From Your Own Blog
This technique involves setting up your own blog. The idea is that you will create a blog about a very specific topic that you are knowledgeable about. You need to choose a topic that you can actually write about. Don’t just pick topics that might pay better, because if they are boring, you will end up writing a bad blog.
Your blog needs energy and enthusiasm. You can only do this when you are writing about stuff that you are passionate about. Some writers can pull this off in any niche, but I can tell you that it’s hard work writing about bland topics.
After you choose a topic, you need to get your blog rolling. You can either buy your own domain name and install a blog or use a free service such as blogger.com. Starting out with Blogger is recommended because it’s so simple. You just sign up, pick a blog name and you can start writing immediately. If you go with your own domain name, you will also need to buy hosting (around $5/month) and you will need to install blog software, such as WordPress (free).
Once your blog is setup, the goal is awesome content. Don’t worry about making money from the blog too early. That will come soon. First you need to build up the content and the user base. Once you have a strong user base, then you can consider the monetization options. You can find out about blog monetization here.
When you get your blog established, try to build relationships with other bloggers in similar subject areas. This can help boost your exposure and traffic. The more links that you get into your site, the higher you will rank.
2) Blog Posting for Others
If you want to get paid for your blog posts, the quickest way to do this is posting for others or writing blog content for websites. Usually the content will be sold and then syndicated to one or more blogs. The content will most likely not be tagged as yours and you won’t be able to build your own name using this technique.
It is possible to earn excellent money doing this. I know of many part-time writers that are earning a few thousand per month by writing for others. They usually have their own blog too, from which they earn another few thousand. You can earn anywhere from $3-60 per blog post. This can start adding up, especially if you are creating many blog articles per day.
