An online freelance writer is someone who writes articles, eBooks, web content, newsletters, ezine, and anything else.  They are paid to write up interesting, educational articles that capture their audience.  They are paid to fill content on the web.  All the writing that a freelance writer does is usually the buyers copyright forever.  It is a very fun career if you like to write because you are always learning about new things.  The greatest part of it is the fact that you get to make your own hours and work from the comfort of your own home.  It is great for stay at home mothers or handicapped people or people with very busy schedules.  You write on your own time as long as you finish your projects on your due date.  Depending on what you write, you could get paid about 500 dollars for an eBook, not bad.


A freelance writer finds their projects many different ways, such as word of mouth or referrals, or online services.  Elance is an online service where employers can post jobs for freelancers, programmers, tech support, etc.  There are many sites like this one where you can go to find work, although there is usually a monthly fee you must pay to get these desirable jobs. When accepting a job, if there is no provided contract, a freelance writer should always create an informal contract describing the project, due date, fees, etc.  

The work that freelance writers submit should be fresh and creative.  It should NEVER be plagiarized.  A freelance writer will always spell check their work and make sure it sounds great.  Having a portfolio of your work is an excellent idea because it shows how great of a writer you are under varied projects.  Taking some online writing classes will also keep you learning new ways to write better.  Details always count so make sure you keep up to date and always write from your heart.

Making Money With Articles: Finding A Writer

Finding the right freelance writer to produce your revenue generating articles can take a bit of time, however, if you find one that can easily take on another regular client and the two of you work well together, then that one difficult search will turn into a lot of profitable articles.

When you start your search, you may want to begin with a very small group of articles, just in case you happen too hook up with a writer that you are less than thrilled with. It is important to keep in mind that there are several different types of writing and each writer might be highly skilled in one area, yet lack in another. For example, there is creative/fiction writing, biographical writing, news writing, general informational article writing, critical writing, copy-writing, poem/verse writing, technical writing, medical writing, essay/report writing, and sports writing. Although a writer may be highly skilled in one area, many freelance writers spread themselves out into others areas as well. So, it is critical that the writer you choose can produce the type of content that you need.


To find a freelance writer, you can look at various freelancing websites that will allow you to post the specification of your project and your budget.

From there, writers will make bids on your project and provide you with writing samples so that you can get an idea of their skill level. Make sure that you choose a writer who gives you a sample of the type of article that you are looking for. For example, if you are looking for a copy-writer, do not hire someone who only sent you a sports writing sample. He or she may be an outstanding sports writer, but copy-writing is about selling (a product, service, or yourself) to your website visitors.

In conclusion, the more you are willing to pay per article, the more bids you will get from quality writers who know how to entertain and inform your website visitors so that they keep coming back for more. Writers know that you will eventually make a ton of money off of each article or content piece. So although $30 or more for a 500 word article may seem like a lot, when you think about the service they are providing you and the time and effort that they put into your piece, then you will realize that it really is not a lot for that one article. If you pay for quality, you will be amazed at how much you will eventually make off of your articles.
