Making Money as an Online Writer

[Nomad]

Simply being able to write a couple of lines in a forum does not make you a writer. Many people posting on forums label themselves as writers. If you publish longer posts, maybe 400-500 words in articles sites, you can claim to be a writer. However, to become a writer, you must have written a lot of things Likewise, having language skills alone does not make you a great writer. To excel as a writer, you need both language skills and writing skills. If you aspire to become a writer, think about enhancing your language and writing abilities through education and training. You don't necessarily need to attend university; short-term courses are available as well.

There is a lot of writing opportunities online, however, as a writer writing in English as a second language, I have to struggle to secure writing gigs and I end up working for lower payment.

If I was in your position I would pick the highest-paying niche you know well, to write in. Of course, it should be a niche you are enthusiastic about.

Then read as much professional level content in that niche as you can manage.
The paid for Grammarly option may also help.

Finally, I think writing is one area that's going to be impacted by improvements in Artificial Intelligence. But how long it will take for AI to write content indistinguishable from human-written content is anyone's guess.

It would be really nice to have a list of places that pay for online writing, as I'm looking to make an additional $150/month now.

You can always look and see if there's any websites hiring for paid writers. Look around on webmaster forums, but also promotional forums as well. You can offer your services on websites like Fiverr too and see if anyone hires you to write an article for them. If you do go down this route, do remember to give examples of your writing so you have a greater chance of getting hired.

In order to secure more and better paying writing gigs, you might have to write for less or even nothing. Many clients ask for portfolio, to see the works you’ve done in the past.
So you should work on building that portfolio first so that you can have enough to show.

I don't like writing blog posts. The only way I could is with the help of AI and that's very fake, so in that case, I stay out of it.

Personally, I hate reading AI generated article contents. They always hurt my eyes and so boring to read for me. It's the reason why I don't use them to write anything I have. It doesn't matter if it's a blog article or any other kinds of contents, using content generating AI isn't for me.

That's a huge sum, but you can start with some paid to post sites, although there are not a lot of them that are paying really much at this particular moment. You can also advertise your services here on Admin Junkies and get clients hire you for work.

Unfortunately, there is no paid to post website that can even pay him half of that in a month because what he is looking at making is a very huge amount of money that you can hardly get from a paid to post website.

It is only during the time of postloop that it is possible for him to make that kind of money from posting sites.

I have worked as a successful copywriter. It is not easy, you need to be instant, creative and choose words like a pro. Been doing these for around 10+ years now. I have handled a team of content creators successfully.

If you intend to make money, don't generalise, specialise in one area and become good at it.

Trying to be very good in one area is one of the ways that you can get to make money. Trust me, once people see that you are an expert, they will definitely want to pay you for your services or jobs.

I have a variety of skills. I can draw, write, code a bit, can create websites, understand SEO etc.

Coding is something that I haven't ever bothered about going into even though I know it's a very good skill which is actually in a big demand in the world of freelancing and web development. I'm never ruling out eventually going into it in the future.
