If you have language and writing skills, you can find a lot of writing opportunities online to make money. Here are five popular methods for writers to make money:

1. Forum Posting: Join "Get Paid to Post" forums and earn money by posting on forums. There are also many webmaster forums where you can work in a posting package team to make money by posting on forums. Your earnings can be anywhere between $10 and $100 based on the number of forums you participate in and the time you spend posting.
2. Article Publishing: There are many articles sites where you can publish articles. You can earn either earn from views, ad impressions, or tips. Choose platforms that align with your writing style and expertise.

A popular way is paid to post forum although it seems to have the lowest payout as well. If you’re looking at big money then I will suggest blogging.

Forum posting is a rather unstable way to make money. For one thing, you have to be on a lot of them and there are only so many. Also, it's a challenge to get gigs to do solo work for people.

Anyway, considering all this, I would shoot for blog writing. I would do blog writing myself, but I'm really not good at it. Well, the exception would be stuff like history. I've considered setting up a history blog or forum, but haven't gotten around to it.

Well, forum posting does not make you a lot of money but it is the only method that can make you money right away. With blogging or ebooks, it takes months,in worst conditions years. Freelance writing pays well but it is difficult to get freelancing contracts on a regular basis.
