Now you have seen a few ways to find work if you want to become an online article writer. The main places where you can find work are internet marketing forums, article writing sites and freelancing sites. Even if those are the main places to get some work, they are not the only ones.

You can try searching for article writing work on classified ads sites such as Craigslist, Gumtree and Backpage. Although it is not guaranteed that you will find something there, if you do it will more likely be long term projects rather than just people who seek to order a few articles. This can work out to your advantage, as you will then have some regular clients who will pay you for your writing. Some of them could even offer you full time work for many months in a row.

Another way to find work is simply by networking with others. By participating in various online marketing communities, you will make contacts who could offer you some projects if they need content written for their sites or introduce you to someone who does. In the internet marketing industry in general, networking can be very profitable for you. Just because you are self employed doesn’t mean that you can’t share ideas and information with others in the industry. Networking will also give you the chance to learn new things or find additional sources of income that you wouldn’t have discovered on your own.

Now that you have some ideas on how to find some projects to work on, you are probably wondering about some ways to increase your earnings from freelance writing. The first thing that you need to keep in mind is that the amount you can earn will increase gradually. While it is possible to make a full time income from article writing, it may take a few weeks or months before you are able to reach that level.

Here are some tips to maximize your profits:

Always do the best quality work and follow the instructions of the clients. By doing so, you will increase your chances that they will either give you repeat work or recommend your services to one of their friends or business partners that could use them.

Respect deadlines by submitting your work on time. Believe me, there is nothing worse for a client than to have a service provider not complete a project by the time they need it. Clients don’t want to hear excuses or be left wondering as to whether you are actually going to complete their order or not.

Seek out long term partnerships and projects. These tend to pay more in the end as you will be spending a lot more time actually writing rather than searching for work all over the place. You are also more likely to get work on a niche that you are familiar with, which will be easier to write about than a few different articles on various topics that you are only vaguely knowledgeable about.

If you think you have what it takes to become an online freelance writer and want to get started, then read on. I will give you some advice on how to get started and to build up your income over time.

The first thing that you need to take into consideration when you get started is the amount of money that you will make. There are a few products out there which claim that you can make $150 – $300 or more each day by writing online. This claim is similar to those of websites that claim you can make $500 a day pushing affiliate products on Google Adwords. It is not a lie: yes, you CAN make these amounts. And yes, some people do make several hundreds of dollars each day writing online. However, it would be VERY rare for you to make such amounts from the beginning, unless you already have significant experience in writing (say in journalism or magazines) and have contacts that can get you high paying jobs. So don’t quit your day job just yet.

Much like in many “creative” industries such as cinema and graphic design, those who start out usually get the lower paying jobs. But how do you get some jobs to start your career?

Well, you basically have four choices where to look for work: online writing sites, internet marketing forums, freelancing sites and other sources such as classified ads. Each of them have some unique advantages and drawbacks. Let’s have a look:

Online writing sites.

These are places such as Textbroker, Helium and Constant Content. The way they operate is relatively simple: some allow you to accept orders from customers and start writing, while on others you will write articles about certain topics and wait until a client purchases them. Depending on the site that you work with, you may be required to either submit samples of your previous work or pass a writing test.

Advantages:

• Many of these sites offer a lot of work and writing on various niches.
• In most cases you will be sure that you will be paid as long as the work is done correctly.
• May allow you to get repeat orders from the same client.
• The pay per article is relatively decent when compared to other places to get work. However, bear in mind that this means you must submit articles which are always of the best quality.

Disadvantages:

• Payment is usually not immediate. Certain sites pay you every two weeks, some once a month.
• Could be difficult to get accepted if you do not have previous writing experience, as some places ask you to submit a CV along with a portfolio of your previous work.

Promoting free biz opp offers by using online classified ads and various offline methods can be quite profitable indeed, you just need to know what to do in order to attract people’s attention and encourage them to sign up.

Basically here are the things that you will need:

• CPA offers to choose from (they need to be free biz opps that don’t require a credit card)
• A hosting account and domain (could be a cheap .info domain)
• A good looking landing page
• An free email account
• A PLR product related to the niche of the specific Biz opp offer you are targeting.

What you will be doing is offering the client a free download (usually an ebook or some training videos) that are related to the biz opp. So if you are promoting an offer about earning cash with eBay, you would offer a download that is related to selling on eBay. If it’s an MLM offer, you would give something related to network marketing, such as a guide on “getting unlimited leads for your network marketing business”.

Now you don’t have to write an ebook or even pay for one. The “gift” that you will be offering will be a free PLR (private label rights) item that you can find for free just by doing a quick Google search for [insert your niche here] +PLR +free.

If you are promoting the offer by online classifieds, you would write an ad that looks like this: “Looking to earn some extra cash? Contact me for FREE information – No obligation and no payment required – Plus, get a FREE training guide worth $299 that is yours to keep no matter what!”

However, instead of linking to a website, you would ask the client to email you for more info. You will probably get a few dozen responses for each ad. Respond to everyone individually, calling them by their name and write something like “Hi Bob! This is John from Craigslist. To join this business opportunity for free and receive your free training guide (normally worth $299) go to [your site here]. Thank you for your time and wishing you great success, John Smith.”

For your website, simply use a free template that looks appropriate for a business opportunity page. Write some information presenting the opportunity in a very good light and emphasize on the fact that it is completely free to join. Include your CPA affiliate link. But also say that out of your great generosity and due to the fact that you want the visitor to succeed, you’re giving them a guide that normally sells for $XXX totally free and that it contains invaluable information on succeeding in online business.

You could also use offline marketing in order to promote your website. It is possible to either give out fliers in public places or place an ad in a local newspaper. Remember to emphasize the free guide that you are giving to draw people’s attention and want them to visit your page.

When you are promoting an affiliate or CPA offer, you obviously need to advertise in order to get traffic to your site. After all, people will not magically type your affiliate link in their browser if they don’t know it exists. There are various ways to post ads online, let’s take a look at one of them:

Classified Ads Sites:

Some examples of these sites are Craigslist, Backpage, Gumtree and Kijiji. Of course there are many others but they all have one thing in common: the ability to place classified ads for free. Using these sites to get traffic to your CPA offers has brought great results to many people, but it needs to be done properly in order to be effective. Furthermore, you would need to check with your network manager to see if promoting a certain offer on a classifieds site is allowed. Some networks may ban this type of promotion altogether or restrict it only to certain offers.

There are also a few points to remember if you don’t want to get in trouble.

Don’t post ads that are misleading or deceptive. Some examples of this is posting business opportunity offers in the “Jobs” section and making it appear like you are offering an actual job, then requiring the applicant to fill out a lead form to prove that they are “qualified”, or requiring someone to sign up for a video conferencing trial for an “interview” that will never take place.

Due to complaints to merchants and in some cases investigations by the FTC, networks are cracking down on such “blackhat” advertising.

What you should rather do is post in the appropriate category and explain what the offer is about and what benefits it could bring to the customer. Since many affiliate sites are immediately flagged as “spam”, you will probably be better off getting your own domain name and landing page for your offer.

While this flagging of ads which are not spam and posted in the correct category could get annoying, remember that these sites are mainly there for local businesses to get clients and not to push affiliate offers. If there was no system in place to deal with overposting or postings in the wrong section, these places would soon be over run with hundreds of spam messages drowning out any legitimate content.

On certain offers, such as car loan or mortgage leads, another tactic that works would be having people contact you by email. You would then send them a reply with details of the offer and your affiliate link.

While posting is usually free, some sites allow your ad to be placed on top for a certain period of time or highlighted for a small fee. This will bring some additional attention to your ad and will ultimately result in more clicks for you.

In any case, remember that some networks may forbid advertising on these sites mainly due to past abuses. Therefore, be sure to get the OK from your affiliate manager before beginning.

Whether you run a local business, or a global one, you might be able to use Craigslist to generate more sales. If you’re not familiar with Craigslist, it’s the biggest set of classified ads on the internet. There are sections of Craigslist with ads for just about any major city on the planet, and even some not-so-major ones. If you live in a suburban area, chances are there’s also a section for your region. In short, no matter where you live, there are Craigslist ads for your area.

If you run a local business, you can generate a great deal of attention for your business by posting about it on Craigslist. There’s a section on Craigslist for just about any type of product or service you can imagine, and that means there’s a section that’s right for you and your business.

If you run a global business that operates primarily online, you can use Craigslist to generate some business. Just pick a major city, and post about your business. Try to pick areas that are going to get a decent amount of traffic – for example, New York gets a lot of attention, so it’s a good idea to post there.

Whether your business is small or large, it’s important to play by the rules when you’re posting on Craigslist. Craigslist is policed almost entirely by Craigslist users, and if your ad breaks any of the official, or unofficial rules, you will get flagged as spam, and your ad will get removed. Avoid filling your ad with a lot of links, don’t post all your information in the form of a single image, and just do your best to sound both friendly and professional. If other Craigslist users get the feeling that you’re ad is fraudulent or spam, they’ll flag you down, even if your ad is legit. It’s also important to post in the right section. If your ad doesn’t fit with the section you put it in, your ad will get removed. Remember, don’t just post  your ad in another section because that section gets more attention. If you do, your ad won’t stay up very long.

Craigslist can be a powerful marketing tool for businesses both large and small. Just remember to post in the right area, and the right section. Keep your ad professional and friendly, and you won’t have any trouble using Craigslist to drum up a little extra business.
