How to Monetize Your Writing

If you are someone who loves to write and is trying to monetize it, then you are in the right place.

Before I knew that writing can be a source of income, I didn’t really think to write or even to start writing. But, After my understanding from some articles of top writers, writing is another way for us to communicate on the Internet. That’s why many writers are needed here.

Mainly the Internet is built with words in any part of it. I think it’s a basic skill that whoever wants to be a success on the Internet needs. So I started to learn more about how to monetize my writing on the Internet.

There are some ways to monetize your writing on Internet.

Sell what you can write

Nobody can write more than he could as we are limited by time. I think that’s why AI was created to help with writing in seconds. But still, the result is not as satisfying as the human brain.

To produce more content this person or business is going to need other people’s time writing to fulfill their goal.

The good news is, you know how to write, have your time and want their cash. Then sell your service.

To sell a service, of course you need a place where you can appear in public on the internet as a writer. And you’re gonna have to show people that you are a writer. Some portfolios are needed to show your skill off so when it is seen by prospective clients, then they will believe that you are a writer.

You can start with your social media profile, but usually the third freelancing platform is best to start with. Create your profile there, follow their instructions until you are ready for your first gig. Showcase your skill or look for a job, meeting with your first client is never easy as it.

Write what they need and you are ready to receive your bucks.

Own the content and monetize it yourself

You create the content that brings retention, you get paid from showing ads in your content or simply have a link for affiliates to share.

Advertisers need your audience’s attention. The more you can hold them to your content, the more currency from ads you’ll get. You need this content to grab more people’s attention and the more viral the better. You need more traffic for this one.

There are many ways to boost traffic to your content. Starting from organic reach or even sharing it to social media. And good news is social media is free to post your content.

For affiliates, you have signed up to a third party affiliate program and got a special link to share. When someone clicks and uses/buys their thing, then you will get commission.

Create digital product

All that you sell on the internet is basically information.

At this stage you have to know how to create a section, free information and paid information. The information that has a price to reveal. Between the free and the paid, make a paywall.

Free section is where the teaser is and it is important to make your audience stay curious. After they get hooked, ask them to pass the paywall for premium content.

Some digital products you can create now are books, courses, paid newsletter, etc.

But, before you can really sell your digital product. You need to build your audience. A true person, a true fan of your content. Seems like time consuming, right? Sure. But once you are in the right position with the right loyal audience, your hard work will be a success.
