Okay, it’s a cheesy title and not really the main point of this post. But I do wonder how many other writers out there would like to make some cash from their writing.
There’s a growing need for people who can write, to create articles for people who can’t. There’s some money in it, although I don’t think anyone here will grow rich quickly, or otherwise. But there is a living to be had by writing for people who won’t – or can’t.
Does anyone already do this? It seems like an ideal situation not least because of the payment, which is relatively minor, but also because your work does actually go out there. I’ve started writing articles, for myself, and they’re getting me some results in the search engines now.
What’s most interesting for me is that any skills I have as a writer are put to good use in making the articles worth reading. In my case they’ve been related very much to the health arena. If I can put some information across in a simple way then that’s a good thing of itself. Should it matter if underlying that some advertiser somewhere would like to make a sale too?
Particularly in internet marketing circles there seems to be a desperate need for fresh talent. A lot of those now filling that need are more marketing types than writing types and I would think that quality writing, of the kind I find in the blogs I visit, would do very well.
In the UK Salman Rushdie started out as an advertising copywriter. Went on to sell a few books and make some money. Of course he also went on to cause a massive ruckus, but cutting his teeth on making his words pay – someone else – was how he got to be a famous and published author.
Guess I’ve talked myself into doing some more article writing. Anyone want to set up a collective?
