Free Online Writing Jobs From Home

If you're looking for free online jobs from home, why not choose writing jobs? Online marketers and website owners are dying for help when it comes to advertising, marketing, and the constant pursuit of fresh content. You can find these online jobs posted through freelance websites and Craigslist. Take a look at these examples of ways to make money and see which ones match your skills and interests.

Email Marketing

Online marketers need help writing compelling email campaigns and email mini-courses that market their products to their email lists. If you can write copy that influences readers to click on links and purchase products, your copywriting skills will definitely be in service.

Article Writing

Article directories with high page rank create a greater stream of traffic to your client's website when someone types in a keyword in Google. Website owners want writers who can create quality articles with backlinks to their website. Since marketers don't want to sit down for hours at a time to churn out dozens of articles, they will happily pay for an experienced writer who can perform these tasks on a specific niche topic.

EBooks

Marketers are looking for ghost writers to create EBooks that the marketer will then publish. Although your name doesn't go on the EBook, it's the client who does all the marketing for the product. You can usually charge $500 or more for a quality written EBook. Many will happily pay more if the material is top notch.

Forum Writing

For online marketers, forum posting can take hours upon hours. A client may pay you to join a forum on gardening, for example, to comment upon the latest garden techniques or tools you use when working in your garden. This is a great way to market products and ideas while linking back to your client's gardening website. You can actually get paid to talk about a niche you enjoy while helping others by promoting your client's services. I suggest that you choose a niche you really love because you don't want to join a forum on dogs if you hate pets.

Blogging

You can start your own blog for free or write blog posts for a professional blogger who doesn't have the time. You can charge by the blog post on topics related to the blogger's website. Some website owners aren't professional writers, so they could definitely use some help regarding their niche.

When looking for free online jobs from home, you can't do wrong with online writing jobs. If you produce quality work, your clients will typically hire you over and over again since the point of their job is to continually create quality websites and website content. Start off my looking at job boards for information and learning all you can about opportunities for writing online.

Ebook Writing Basics

Ebooks are widely thought of as the most popular digital product worldwide. If you are making an attempt to show off your creative writing skills or desiring to promote your business to your target audience, creating free eBooks and publishing them is a good place to start. Writing one may seem scary at first, but becomes less intimidating once approached methodically. This should make you realize that it actually doesn't take very much effort to create a digital masterpiece that can really excite your target audience.

To begin, you must establish clarity. You'll require a concise knowledge of your goal and your target audience. Are you writing for a good read, or are you writing for people to take action, or are you writing for your business? Choosing the path you want to take will make the end product much more sturdy. After you have chosen your path, the next step is to invent a distinct title for attracting the attention of your readers. The title needs to be like a single phrase summary of the entire book, as well as to showcase your cleverness. For example "Stop staying up so late at night and start front loading" might be a swell title for a book about how to avoid procrastination.

After you have thought of the title, the next part is to look at the content. Even though your intention is to write a free digital book, it won't be as effective if its contents aren't exciting. It should be able to keep your audience turning the pages from cover to cover. In addition, it is tantamount that you invent original content and not merely rewrites of other eBooks. You have to give up a notable amount of time for creating relevant information that conveys your thoughts to the audience. While a few publishers might prefer to outsource the task of writing content to third party vendors, it is not advisable if you aren't charging anything for your eBook. Avoid the use of jargons that a typical reader might not comprehend. Keep the language simple so it can be user-friendly if you so desire. Always proofread and use a spell-checker to guarantee a perfectly finished product.

The last step is to come up with a creative graphic design as the cover. First impressions are hard to change, and if the first thing they see about your eBook is some poorly drawn cover, they will think of your book as being poorly written. If art isn't your strong point, it is advisable to hire the services of a designer to do it for you.

Creative Ebook Writing Ideas

I have the desire. I have the keyboard. How do I find the best I have to write about? What if no one likes my writing? I imagine most aspiring writers have had those conversations with themselves. I sure have. The truth is, though, we all have many books inside us. Unique thoughts and experiences that are ours, and yet so similar and relatable to other people.

Sometimes in our day to day life, we get lost in the 'Matrix'. We forget our 'child like' curiosity, and our thoughts get clouded with, well, life. Give yourself a gift. The gift of time to clear your head and think. Dream, wonder, and breath. Getting quiet and closing your eyes, while inhaling and exhaling deeply can start the subconscious to fire ideas at you. Keep a notepad ready and write everything that comes to mind. No matter what it is. If you fall asleep, remember your dreams if possible. Keep that note pad with you everywhere you go, and determine to be present, aware, and curious of all around you. Not only will book titles jump out at you, but life will seem to spring up all around as well.

Our memories hold a library of joys and laughter, tragedy and tears. Even unpleasant times in your life can make useful book material, because there are people out there who have had the same experience, and may be comforted to know they were not alone. How you coped with or overcame the situation may be the answer they needed. No one has seen through your eyes, or had your thoughts and feelings. When your story connects with readers who can relate to it, they will laugh with you, cry with you, wonder with you, and even feel what you felt.

Practical topics, like our experience with pets like birds, cats, dogs, fish, or even more unusual critters, can make good ebooks. Also sports like fishing, hunting and archery skills. Gold mining 'how to'. Growing food, home building, home repair. Whatever your skills are can be helpful to many.

Real life adventures and unexplained oddities. Even fictional characters who have led amazing lives that the real us were to timid to ever venture. Humor is universally sought after. We all love to laugh.

Your work experience is valuable and helpful to thousands of readers. Health experience, and even hobbies can be a wealth of material.

If you're not a professional writer, and know practically nothing about ebook creation like I did, then you need a helping start to get your creative ebook writing ideas all together, written, and published online for sale. There's a lot of competition in the ebook world. We need an edge to jump in and let the world know we are here, and we have something to say.

Writing an eBook - The 5 Most Important Tips for Newbies

So you've decided you want to have a book. Good for you. Books and eBooks are amongst the best tools for marketing. Whether you are intending to sell them to make money, or giving them away to gain customers. Books and eBooks are amongst the best tools that you can get to build your business around.

But then comes the problem.

How do you write an eBook?

There are a number of different methods for writing an eBook or writing a book. Or more correctly for getting a book. Some are good. Some are not so good. However, for this article I'm going to focus on actually writing an eBook yourself.

Writing an eBook or any long work can be difficult. And working one's way through all of the advice out there can be just as difficult. So in this article, I'm going to give the newbie writer a hand up with five of the most important tips.

1. Always start with the end in mind

Yes, I know I've just quoted Stephen Covey. But the advice applies even more to writing a book or eBook. The effort you are about to undertake will vary considerably depending on the nature of the product. Many traditional eBooks were only 20 pages in length. Or even less. And people do continue to create report-sized eBooks despite the influx of longer Book-length versions. What you are going to use the book for will greatly affect the size and style of the book or eBook. It also affects how much, if anything, you are going to charge. Which in turn also has an effect on the size. Even the format (print or electronic) will be affected by what you are going to do with the book.

2. Always write with a system

Writing is a process. And like any other process, there are two major ways to do it. The successful way and the unsuccessful way. Writing a book length piece -- regardless of its form -- is not a trivial exercise. It's not like writing an essay or writing an article like this one. You need to follow a system based on the type of book you are writing. An attempt to just sit down and write will almost inevitably lead to failure.

3. Know your reader

Writing a book without a reader is like taking a trip without a destination. It can lead to some glorious surprises -- but more likely to a sad conclusion. There is no point in writing an eBook that no one will read. But to be read, a book needs to interest the reader. It needs to draw them into it. To accomplish that, a writer must know before they start what will interest the reader. And then they must write that book. Not the one they started to write.

4. Have a writer's hole.

Every writer has a set of conditions that help him create. Every writer has a set of conditions that prevent her creating. Most writers have multiple sets depending on the task. You need to have a place for each of the tasks in the process. It's easiest if they are all the same place, but they key is that you need to be able to start immediately without any inherent delays.

5. Have a set schedule

Motivation is probably the biggest issue that a writer has. With motivation, they will overcome anything in their quest of writing an eBook. However, it is a great deal easier if you have a specific chunk of time allocated for writing. Be firm. No interruptions. No disturbances. No intrusions. This is your writing time and you need to produce.

Writers' Myths: Make Money Quickly By Writing an EBook! - Money! Wealth! Fame!

I normally try to stay out of the whole traffic and marketing field. Instead, I focus on planning for success in writing books and eBooks. But I answer questions from my clients. (Yes, I really, really do that... me, personally).

And anyone who is writing books or eBooks is going to get into the problem of marketing those books. So I get these questions about how to market ebooks. Sometimes effectively disguised as planning for marketing and sometimes not so effectively disguised.

Today, I got an email from a client in South Africa. (You know who you are and no one else needs to know.) And frankly, it ticked me off. Not at my customer, but at some of the pseudo-gurus who've sold him a bill of goods. You've seen these people or at least their headlines... Make Money Quickly By Writing an Ebook. Books Make Money! Wealth! Fame!

Borsht!

Can you make money with books and eBooks? Yes, you can. Especially with eBooks, now that Amazon and the Kindle are doing the marketing for you. Pick your keywords right, price your eBooks low (in the 2.99 - 9.99 $US range) and you'll make some money. How much depends on a number of different factors.

And if you've got an existing business, you can use books and eBooks to make even more money. They can help you to sell product or services. In fact, they can create a reputation for you that draws high value to your business, while it's gaining you new customers. So you end up winning both ways.

There is no question that writing books and eBooks can be the basis of a valuable business.

The problem is the promises that are made around that business. "I can show you how to make $10,000 a month in 30 days". "I can have you selling $100,000 a year in 2 days" Right, we've all heard the claims. And in 30 days, they'll have shown you how. Or sent you the eBook, which will take you about 2 days to read.

The result is that people like my customer end up putting the comma in the wrong place and end up believing that they can make a living on the internet, which is fine if you have a job and aren't looking for a way out of the dole queue.

The thing is you can make a living on the internet by writing books and eBooks. It is possible to build a real business. In fact, there are several ways you can do it. However, building a business on the internet is just like building a business anywhere. It takes time, energy and money. If you don't have the money, you need to put in the time and energy. If you don't have the time and energy, you need to spend money.

There is no free lunch.
