In this section we highlight ways you can make money from writing. In my experience, if there is one skill that trumps all others in effectively earning money online it is the ability to write.
No other skill has the versatility that writing has. Good writers are sorely underrepresented. If you can write, you can earn money online (with or without a blog) – guaranteed!
Blogging
The act of blogging in and of itself is often free, but that doesn’t mean that blogging can’t serve as a useful platform from which you can earn money online. Many people are earning over 5 figures a month “just blogging”, by combining it with things like affiliate sales, ad networks, and paid reviews.
Go to the last chapter of this post to see all of the blogger income reports I have collected. There are thousands of blogs started everyday and most of them die off over the course of a few months/years.
From personal experience I think it is best to start a blog with a purpose/passion – aside from making money. This will help you to be successful in the long run, as it is normal to spend many months blogging without earning anything. Here are some of the best blogging sites you can use to get started:
How To Start A Blog:
One and a half years ago when Vicky wanted to start blogging we didn’t know the first thing about how to start a food blog. Sure, we had heard some things like “WordPress”, “Hosting Services”, etc, but these were about as foreign to us as reciting poetry in Chinese. Believe it or not, there weren’t a lot of resources describing how to start a food blog, and the ones that were available were sparse at best. Nowadays you have the opposite problem – too many resources, and few of them are clear. Lucky for you we’re going to solve that problem once and for all by telling you why and how to start a blog (if you already know the why, you can skip right to the how).
Livejournal : A service for journals and blogs, that also offers privacy controls, photo storage, publishing tools, style templates, and online communities for many interests.
Tumblr : Post anything (from anywhere!), customize everything, and find and follow what you love.
WordPress.com : Free blogs managed by the developers of the WordPress software. Includes custom design templates, integrated statistics, automatic spam protection. You domain will look like yourdomain.wordpress.com It’s different from Word Press.org.
