How to Make Extra Income as a Freelance eBook Writer

Let's face it - everyone is looking for extra ways to make income nowadays. And more and more people are turning to the internet to learn how to make money online.

And learning how to be a freelance writer is probably the fastest, easiest way to make money. And you can get started and earning money almost immediately.

Website Content is in High Demand

For blogs (similar to this one for example), there is a constant need for new content. When bloggers want to create more content in order to help their sites get ranked, they need to constantly be updating their sites and getting traffic back to their blogs.

Another way blogs get website traffic is by referrals from articles online.

And both of these methods - blogging and articles - need content writers!

Now with the exception of this article that I am writing, most of the content on my blogs is written by freelance copywriters who make money by writing online!

In fact, I pay up to $500 per month just paying my content writers to add new topics to my plethora of websites.

How to Make an Extra $1000 online by Writing Articles and Blog posts

Making money by writing online is fairly simple.

Here is what you'll need to get started:

1. A computer and internet connection
2. Ability to write the English language at an 8th grade level (that's about 14 years old)
3. A little training in order to find the proper sites to make money for your work.

Once you meet these 3 criteria, you are all set to get going.

If you are looking to make an extra $1000 per month by writing articles online, you only need to make $33 per day (considering there are 30 days per month).

Here is a list of some sites that you can get started today and earn extra cash for writing simple blog posts and articles:

1. RealJobsWriting.com - This site is a training course required to get started. And the good news is that you can make your course fee back with in 1-2 days when you start writing articles. Great site for Work at Home Moms (WAHMs).
2. Fiverr - Fiverr will allow you to make $5 per article you write. 
3. Writing Jobs Online - This site has a training program that starts at only $1. Then you can scale up and learn how to make more money and pay for the higher levels of registration.

These 3 sites are where I would start if I were a beginner.

***Again, don't get discouraged by the course fee. You can make that back in literally 2 or 3 days. Most writing projects take only 15-30 minutes and you get paid that same day.

Once you start making a few extra bucks per month as a writer, I would then check out sites like iWriter, Text Broker, and Odesk.

These sites are a little more advanced, and they don't have a training program.

If you are looking for a good training program, I'd check out Real Jobs Writing first.
