Starting and Marketing
Your
Internet Article Writing Business

Internet article writing is today a big business. Writer self-employment is rising. See how to grab your share of the business.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics about 70% of writers and authors are self-employed.

With the popularity of the Internet, writer self-employment is rising.

It has traditionally been tough for writers to get published and actually earn a full living with their words in the offline world.

Some lucky authors can make a living writing novels while thousands of others write novels and never earn a dime or see publication.

The same goes for writing positions with newspapers and getting articles published with paid bylines in magazines.

The competition is stiff.

Thank goodness for the Internet!

Writers are now turning to Internet article writing to make more consistent money.

Excellent writers have found their services in hot demand and have steady, guaranteed streams of income year after year.

Does that sound like what you would like to do?

Are you interested in starting an article writing service that earns you a consistent stream of income?

If so, please know that a solid living can be made through online article writing.

What are Your Article Writing Options

Once you decide that having an article writing service is what you want, you need to determine how you want to go about getting clients.

There are several options here:

1. Establish and maintain your own website where clients can get familiar with you, take a peek at your writing style, and then take advantage of your article writing service.
2. Work through an established writing service for the rates their customers have already agreed to pay. You share in the rates charged clients.
3. Bid on jobs through a freelance job site that caters to writers and clients who need writers.
4. Write articles on your own and submit them to content websites that pay ad revenue to writers.
5. To get a jump on your writing competitors, Yuwanda Black has a nationally recognized ebook entitled How to Make Money Writing Simple 500-Word Articles. This inexpensive guide covers the successful elements of starting and marketing of your business. It is highly recommended.

You don't have to pick just one of the above options.

A solid Internet article writing business may pull from all of these options from time to time, especially if there are slow periods where one method isn't earning you enough money to pay the bills.

Want to Do Internet Article Writing Full Time

If your aim is to build your business to earn a full time income, then you should strongly consider having your own "business" website.

Notice the term "business" website and not just a website.

WHY?

For one thing 99% of all websites are lucky if they are found.

You can prove it to yourself.

Most people will have a relative or friend build a beautiful website for them. But it is not a "business website." It will never get found.

However, you now have two options:

1. You can build a business website yourself using Site Build It .

   Thousands of entrepreneurs have used SBI with proven results. (And no website-building experience is needed.)

2. Or you can have the best website-builders on the planet build one for you at a cost that may be less than you can find in your community.

What Do Clients Want

The great thing about starting your business is you don't need to be an expert in technical article writing or years of experience in a professional writing setting.

You don't need a ton of writing examples of your history with feature article writing for prestigious sources.

You definitely do not need a college degree in journalism or creative writing.

What you do need is:

1. Solid grasp of the English language
2. Ability to create grammatically correct, typo-free articles
3. Basic Internet research skills
4. Basic knowledge of SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
5. An understanding of the different uses for articles online (directories, blogs, website content, etc.)
6. A customer-focused attitude
7. An inner drive pushing you to be the best you can be

Tips for Successful Internet Article Writing
