Sometimes you need to make money fast by selling your writing services. With writers in exceptionally high demand, you should find this easy, but many people struggle. Let’s see how you can get cash streaming into your PayPal account.
1. Use Online Classifieds Sites: Paid and Free
There are dozens of online classified sites, both paid and free. If you have a little money to invest, use the paid sites. You’ll get results faster. The benefit in using these sites is that they are indexed quickly, so you’ll start getting traffic to your ad and inquiries from buyers quickly.
Don’t stop at just one ad. Place a new ad for each of your services, or several ads, if it’s appropriate. You can’t repeat your ads on a single service, use your creativity and write new ads. The more ads you post, the more traffic and writing jobs you’ll get.
2. Use Pay Per Click Advertising
Pay per click advertising works, however before you use it do read all the help files in your chosen program. You can lose a lot of money with pay per click advertising if you don’t know what you’re doing. However once you do know, any money you invest will be repaid many times over.
Some professional writers only use pay per click advertising to advertise their services. If this is your choice, realize that you be spending lots of money on advertising, and budget accordingly.
3. Write an Online Press Release
I call online press releases the “gift that keeps on giving”.
Many writers write one press release, and expect to get instant results. This may happen.
On the other hand, you may get no results at first, but find that the press release gives you a constant source of writing jobs for months and years to come. This is the most likely outcome.
So when writing online press releases, expect them to pay off over time.
4. Get Blogging: It Really Works
Many writers get writing jobs from blogging; it’s the only form of promotion they do, and it’s the only promotion they need to do.
You’ll find that once your blog has been online for a few months, you get inquiries about your writing services every day.
This means that you can cherry pick those jobs you want to do, and those jobs which pay well. Gradually you’ll build a stable of clients for whom you write every month. At this stage, searching for writing jobs will be a thing of the past. You’ll have more writing jobs than you can handle.
