A blog can offer you an income as a side business or full-time business.

Setting up a blog is simple, super easy, and “techy” free. It essentially requires
only three steps to start your blog:

First, you have to decide what you want to blog. So, you need to figure out your
blog niche. It is your paying niche as a blogger or a freelance writer.
It’s the most important decision that you need to take in your blogging journey if
you want to make money out of blogging.

You need to finalize a niche that you are comfortable working with and can dish
out right and unique content for your target audience.

It can take some trial and error. For example, you can blog about your paying
niche, or you can write about your service.

How to go about finding your paying niche?

You can blog about what you know. For example, if your background in finance,
then you can make that as your paying niche. So, you essentially have to utilize
your expertise, interest, and background as your paying niche in blogging.

Remember that you need to pick a profitable niche. It can pay you hundreds of
dollars per post.

You need to carry out some research and find out some profitable niche topics.
Writer need to select niche topics which are popular and needed online. You can
even search for popular blog topics and finalize your niche from that list.

Next, you need to choose a domain name for your blog. Your blog or website
name should be representing your business. It should represent what you do.

In general, your domain name should be:

 Easy to say and spell


 Don’t make it too lengthy

A blog also provides you with the opportunity to connect with others on social
media such as Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter. So, you should check and see
whether your domain name is available for your Facebook page or Twitter
profile.

So, the first and the last thing on your mind with the domain name is that it
should be easy for your audience to find you.
Now, you need to choose your blogging platform. A self-hosted the site on
WordPress.org can be the best option for you in the long run. It gives you the
capability to start a business, look professional and last but not the least,
become credible.

The best thing here is the fact that a WordPress blog can be set up under ten
minutes. So, it becomes super easy to start a blog.

We suggest you have the following pages on your blog:

work to your audience

page is optional

When you have your blog ready, you can start making money as a freelance
writer by monetizing it. The simplest ways to monetize your blog is to have

affiliate products.
Monetizing with Adsense Ads needs much traffic and connections. Google

CPC is $0.25. For example, if you want to earn $20 per day from CPC Ads, you
will need a total of 80 clicks. If you have a click rate of 1% (1 click per hundred
views), then you need 8000 views per day.

The Google Adsense Program offers several great advantages such as:

 Google Adsense Program is free to join

when it’s new
 You get a variety of adoptions. Plus, you can customize it to fit the look &

Here, we share some very useful tips for maximizing your Adsense
Earnings:

 Never click on your ads
 Have great and unique content on your blog that your target market
wants to read

search results

that maximize income
 Use all the three standard ad placements allowed per page for maximum
benefit
 Have ads above the fold
 Include in-content ads
 Monitor your results regularly
 Read email from Google. Any complaint from Google can lead to the
termination of your program

However, if your blog is new, we suggest that you should do affiliate marketing
as it does not need much traffic and connections. You can monetize your blog
with affiliate links. It can prove nice side hustles.

For example, you can promote a course if they run an affiliate program. You can
even search Google and find out if a product or service has an affiliate program.

So, you can monetize your blog by placing affiliate links in your blog posts. You
can even create a tutorial based post which can be based on your affiliate
product as these have much higher conversion rates.

So, you see that there is much money to be made when you start a blog. That’s
why if you don’t have a blog, start a blog today!

2. Freelance Writing
Freelance writing offers a great opportunity for making money online. The best
part is the fact that it is very easy to make money with freelance writing. You just
need to hook up with an agency or sign up on “bid to write” sites to write and
make loads of money.

has a low barrier to entry. It is even suitable for students, 9-to-5 workers,
homemakers, as well as retired persons who want to make extra
income working from the comfort of their home.

That said, you need to put in lots of effort to achieve a good income.
Here, we share with you some very useful tips that will help you to make good
money as a freelance writer:

 Choose the niche in which you have some expertise. Identify one, or
maybe two topic areas that are of interest to you and in high demand.
 Build a website using WordPress. You can even look at other freelancers’
websites and take your lead from them. With a website in place, you can
showcase your talent and build up a business quickly and easily. Here, you
can speak about your writing niche, explain your background, and
showcase your portfolio. However, don’t disclose the pricing here. This is
what you will negotiate based on your skills and overall goals.
 Write killer samples that are directly related to your niche. Showcase your
samples on your portfolio page. However, you can put the samples on
other pages as well. Moreover, we recommend that you should have your
samples on LinkedIn Pulse as well as Medium. Plus, you can submit them
to other blogs in the form of guest posts.
 You need to send out personal emails to companies as well as individuals
related to your niche. You should tell them what you write about; offer
them the link to one of the great posts that you have published
somewhere and to your site. You should ask for a reply. You should even
be prepared for rejections and no replies at all.
 The writer should join LinkedIn Groups and start networking.
 You should explore and check out writing job boards such as Freelance
Writing Jobs and Problogger for finding writing work. Although these are
not a big source of work, they are good in the beginning and in case you
hit a dry spell.
 You should ask for testimonials from your happy clients that you can
publish on your site or blog.

When you follow the above steps, then you can build a solid business in
freelance writing for sure and earn a good amount of money.

We must tell you that the Medium Partner Program is not a scam. It has worked
for thousands of writers, and they have earned writing for Medium.

Earnings with Medium can be as high as $500 per post depending upon views,

5. Making money with Ghostwriting
Simply put, Ghostwriting is when you write posts under somebody’s name. It
helps to improve writing skills and of course you earn money as a writer.

So, in Ghostwriting someone hires a professional writer for creating content for
themselves.

Working professionals hire ghostwriters because they are too busy and are not
able to create content on their own. They send bulleted points with the article
topic to their ghostwriter and pay them for writing the content.

Moreover, professionals who don’t like to write but still want to create content
hire ghostwriters to do the job for themselves. Usually, high-profile bloggers,
online media personalities, and television stars hire ghostwriters.

So, if someone is not a professional writer by trade and still wants to push out
blog posts or content go on to work with a ghostwriter.
That said, Ghostwriting is an excellent way to earn extra money when you have a
broad portfolio of work.

The best thing with Ghostwriting is the fact that it pays more than traditional
content creation. Many professionals are paying to ghostwriters for high-quality
content that requires little work on their part.

However, working as a ghostwriter requires more skills than traditional writing


because you do not get an editor to check your work. Ghostwriters have to make
sure that the post is perfect before they submit it to their clients.

Ghostwriting is an ethical way to earn money by writing. Plus, you don’t need
any specific training or certification to become a ghostwriter. To become a
ghostwriter, you need to create your online writing portfolio. It helps to find
clients.

So, Ghostwriting is a lucrative way to make extra money in your freelance writing
career. Ghostwriters make between $50 and $60 per hour. So, it turns out to be
25 to 50 cents per word.

home.

A blog can offer you an income as a side business or full-time business.


Setting up a blog is simple, super easy, and “techy” free. It essentially requires only three steps to
start your blog:

First, you have to decide what you want to blog. So, you need to figure out your blog niche. It is your
paying niche as a blogger or a freelance writer.

It’s the most important decision that you need to take in your blogging journey if you want to make
money out of blogging.

You need to finalize a niche that you are comfortable working with and can dish out right and unique
content for your target audience.

It can take some trial and error. For example, you can blog about your paying niche, or you can write
about your service.

How to go about finding your paying niche?

You can blog about what you know. For example, if your background in finance, then you can make
that as your paying niche. So, you essentially have to utilize your expertise, interest, and background
as your paying niche in blogging.

Remember that you need to pick a profitable niche. It can pay you hundreds of dollars per post.

You need to carry out some research and find out some profitable niche topics. Writer need to select

representing your business. It should represent what you do.

In general, your domain name should be:

Easy to say and spell

Don’t make it too lengthy

You can even use your name (if you can get it)

A blog also provides you with the opportunity to connect with others on social media such as
Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter. So, you should check and see whether your domain name is
available for your Facebook page or Twitter profile.

So, the first and the last thing on your mind with the domain name is that it should be easy for your
audience to find you.
Now, you need to choose your blogging platform. A self-hosted the site on WordPress.org can be the
best option for you in the long run. It gives you the capability to start a business, look professional
and last but not the least, become credible.

The best thing here is the fact that a WordPress blog can be set up under ten minutes. So, it

We suggest you have the following pages on your blog:

Hire Me Page: Here, you can tell your prospects what you do and why they should hire you

Portfolio Page: Here, you can showcase some samples of your quality work to your audience

About Me Page: Here, you talk about yourself and tell your clients or readers on how you can help

When you have your blog ready, you can start making money as a freelance writer by monetizing it.
The simplest ways to monetize your blog is to have Adsense Ads, sponsored posts or you can do
affiliate marketing that promotes affiliate products.

Monetizing with Adsense Ads needs much traffic and connections. Google Adsense pays on per click
basis. It’s a Cost per Click Ad Network. The average CPC is $0.25. For example, if you want to earn
$20 per day from CPC Ads, you will need a total of 80 clicks. If you have a click rate of 1% (1 click per
hundred views), then you need 8000 views per day.

The Google Adsense Program offers several great advantages such as:

You should always adhere to Google’s rules and policies on Adsense Ads

Never click on your ads

Have great and unique content on your blog that your target market wants to read

You should optimize your blog/website for mobile

Use white-hat SEO techniques to gain traffic and up your rankings on the search results

Use all the three standard ad placements allowed per page for maximum benefit
Have ads above the fold

Include in-content ads

Monitor your results regularly

Read email from Google. Any complaint from Google can lead to the termination of your program

However, if your blog is new, we suggest that you should do affiliate marketing as it does not need
much traffic and connections. You can monetize your blog with affiliate links. It can prove nice side
hustles.

For example, you can promote a course if they run an affiliate program. You can even search Google
and find out if a product or service has an affiliate program.

So, you can monetize your blog by placing affiliate links in your blog posts. You can even create a
tutorial based post which can be based on your affiliate product as these have much higher
conversion rates.

So, you see that there is much money to be made when you start a blog. That’s why if you don’t
have a blog, start a blog today!

2. Freelance Writing

Freelance writing offers a great opportunity for making money online. The best part is the fact that it
is very easy to make money with freelance writing. You just need to hook up with an agency or sign
up on “bid to write” sites to write and make loads of money.

entry. It is even suitable for students, 9-to-5 workers, homemakers, as well as retired persons who
want to make extra income working from the comfort of their home.

That said, you need to put in lots of effort to achieve a good income.

Here, we share with you some very useful tips that will help you to make good money as a freelance
writer:

Choose the niche in which you have some expertise. Identify one, or maybe two topic areas that are
of interest to you and in high demand.

Build a website using WordPress. You can even look at other freelancers’ websites and take your
lead from them. With a website in place, you can showcase your talent and build up a business
quickly and easily. Here, you can speak about your writing niche, explain your background, and
showcase your portfolio. However, don’t disclose the pricing here. This is what you will negotiate
based on your skills and overall goals.
Write killer samples that are directly related to your niche. Showcase your samples on your portfolio
page. However, you can put the samples on other pages as well. Moreover, we recommend that you
should have your samples on LinkedIn Pulse as well as Medium. Plus, you can submit them to other
blogs in the form of guest posts.

You need to send out personal emails to companies as well as individuals related to your niche. You
should tell them what you write about; offer them the link to one of the great posts that you have
published somewhere and to your site. You should ask for a reply. You should even be prepared for
rejections and no replies at all.

The writer should join LinkedIn Groups and start networking.

You should explore and check out writing job boards such as Freelance Writing Jobs and Problogger
for finding writing work. Although these are not a big source of work, they are good in the beginning
and in case you hit a dry spell.

You should ask for testimonials from your happy clients that you can publish on your site or blog.

When you follow the above steps, then you can build a solid business in freelance writing for sure
and earn a good amount of money.

content on their own. They send bulleted points with the article topic to their ghostwriter and pay
them for writing the content.

Moreover, professionals who don’t like to write but still want to create content hire ghostwriters to
do the job for themselves. Usually, high-profile bloggers, online media personalities, and television
stars hire ghostwriters.
So, if someone is not a professional writer by trade and still wants to push out blog posts or content
go on to work with a ghostwriter.

That said, Ghostwriting is an excellent way to earn extra money when you have a broad portfolio of
work.

The best thing with Ghostwriting is the fact that it pays more than traditional content creation. Many
professionals are paying to ghostwriters for high-quality content that requires little work on their
part.

However, working as a ghostwriter requires more skills than traditional writing because you do not
get an editor to check your work. Ghostwriters have to make sure that the post is perfect before
they submit it to their clients.

Ghostwriting is an ethical way to earn money by writing. Plus, you don’t need any specific training or
certification to become a ghostwriter. To become a ghostwriter, you need to create your online
writing portfolio. It helps to find clients.
