[Nomad]

Writing is one of the high demand skills online. That’s because websites are proliferating online and all sorts of websites need content writers. From product descriptions on an online store to short posts on online communities to writers for content sites, writers have jobs to fulfill.

Here are some high-paying jobs that writers can dive into:

Translation: If you're multilingual, translation is a golden opportunity, you can easily earn 10 cents per word on average

Editing/Proofreading: Do you have mastery over language and grammar gurus, this one's for you.

Copywriting: Writing copies for ads and sales pitches can bring you a lot of money.

Article writing: There is an endless demand for skilled writers.

Ghostwriters: A lot of people do not have time or skills to write, therefore, they hire people to write for them. This is also a highly paid job.

These are just a few examples. By the way, what is your favorite way to earn as a writer?

I only like forum posting. I can't do blog posting unless AI is involved, and I don't want to be fake. Anyway, I like paid forum posting, but honestly, due to my US residence, I find fast food to pay way more.

I prefer to post on forums, as well as commenting on blog posts. I do own a blog based around Sonic the Hedgehog and since it's a subject I'm very familiar with and something I am passionate about, writing articles based around the Sonic franchise comes natural to me. If a subject interests me, I could possibly start writing articles for other people, though I've never done this. I have written reviews for Forum Promotion in the past though, I was on their review team in the mid 10's.

I started with writing for blogs. It was almost 2 decades ago. Now I prefer copywriting for social media posts. I enjoy using the right words and style for impactful social media posts. I believe I am good at it now.

It's only transcription jobs that I haven't worked on as a freelance writer. As for the rest, I've explored all of them and used them to make money. I'm always looking for opportunities to come in either of the areas of my speciality in order for me to earn from it.

Blog posts are what people ask from you, mostly. Adding more words is a requirement for a lot of web projects.

Do you find there is an ideal blog length, like 1500?

 

[Dilip]

Depends on what you are targeting. I prefer blogs that people read. Too long is often skipped.

If you want to rank your blog posts, you need to write long articles. We could debate on how long a blog post should be but based on the content appearing on top position on SERP, I believe 1200-2500 should be the ideal length for a blog post. But of course, blog post should have value.
