If you are looking to make a little extra money and you like to write, try
your hand at article writing. Here are some tips to help you get started
No experience required
If you can put words into sentences and create an informative article based
on any topic then you can be an article writer. Your thoughts have to be original,
no copying and no pasting. Your facts are correct and your sentence structure
is good, then you can be an article writer.
How do I get started.
You can advertise your services on places like Craig's List or you can
sign up on a forum under the section services wanted. Post your ad and let people
know you are available to write or you can answer other people's request
for writers. Prepare a sample on any topic, most people like to see what your
writing style is like before they hire you.
Set your price
Before you advertise for work, set your own prices. If you know what your work
is worth, don't settle for less. If you are answering an ad then you should
agree on what they want to pay you.
Write original material
When people commission you to write an article, they expect all of the work
to be original. Do not copy and paste and do not plagiarize. Use a website called
Copyscape and insert your article and make sure you get no results. Then you
know that your work is 100 percent original.
It is ok to say no
You don't have to accept every job that is offered to you. If you get
a topic or a specific job that you don't feel comfortable writing about
then it is ok to refuse it. You want to take jobs that you know you can do a
good job. If you accept jobs just to make money then your work may suffer.
