The internet has opened up a whole new world of opportunities for writers.
Gone are the days when writers were at the mercy of newspapers, magazines and every other kind of publishing source.
Now writers can control their own publishing opportunities without completely relying on others.
Here are a few tips to help you generate income as a writer.
1)Become a ghostwriter.
From simple article writing to creating larger texts such as novels and research papers, there are many opportunities online for ghostwriters today.
Often ghostwriting is most lucrative if you can write in volume.
2)If you own a website that sells products, writing articles can help to generate traffic to your site.
By inserting keywords and phrases in each article, it raises your website's search engine optimization.
In addition, by putting back links in your articles, you can create a direct portal for surfers to reach your website.
Both strategies increase traffic and hopefully revenue.
3)Writing articles can enhance the quality of your website.
As the owner of a website, you can create your own little niche of expertise.
Web surfers will seek your site for information and products.
4)Sending your customers and potential customers weekly information will create repeat as well as new customers.
It is important to stay in touch with people who have purchased from you.
Obey the "80/20 Rule", which says that 80% of your sales come from 20% of your customer base.
A weekly newsletter will bolster the opportunity for these people to revisit your site and make another purchase.
Whether ghostwriting for others or creating articles for your own website, writing on the web can provide income in various ways.
Depending on your needs as a writer, investigate which strategy is best for you and then simply begin to write.
