Ways You Can Profit From Giving Your Writing Away

By


Giving your writing away to web sites, blogs, ezines, and newsletters can really make you some serious cash on the internet and I'm not joking. I have been writing professionally for two decades and I never thought I'd make more by writing for free but I am



I recently made an important discovery that I just couldn't wait to share. You can make money by giving your writing away. Yes, it really is true.

This isn't some "get rich overnight" scheme or some trick to get you to lay out a bunch of money for a "turn key business". You have to do the work yourself and it will take some time to set everything in place -- but anyone with an elementary grasp of the English language can make this work!

Giving your writing away to web sites, blogs, ezines, and newsletters can really make you some serious cash on the internet and I'm not joking. I have been writing professionally for two decades and I never thought I'd make more by writing for free but I am.

In fact, I make more money giving my writing away than I did selling my articles and columns. That's right. The truth is that I'm making more money writing part-time for free than I did in any of my full-time paid writing jobs and that includes advances and royalties from the publication of three novels.

There are three ways I profit from giving my writing away. They aren't secrets and you can use them profitably as well:

~ <b>Traffic</b> for my web sites and blogs (I've seen traffic triple within a week from some articles)

~ <b>Reputation</b> building for me and my online enterprises which helps attract clients, customers, and visitors

~ <b>Profit</b> for my advertisers and for me through sales of my own products as well as affiliate income

It really is not a difficult or complicated business model and one any competent writer, or anyone with the ability to string a decent sentence together, could replicate or modify to suit their purpose. I am a writer not a business person, but I know this is working for me and that it could work for you, too.

And let me share one last terrific benefit of this writing business -- you can write whatever you want. You aren't dependent on some editor's whim or assignment. You don't need to worry about tightly focusing your work to fit within a publication's editorial guidelines. You are in total control -- you write to suit yourself in terms of topic, approach, and tone. And you'll make more money doing that then you ever did when you tried to write for someone else. I promise

21 Link Building Ideas That Have Nothing To Do With Guest Posting

21 Link Building Ideas That Have Nothing To Do With Guest Posting I think we’ve gotten better at not relying completely on guest posting as the only way to get links. I think. At least, I sure hope we have. Don’t get me wrong: Guest posting done correctly still works really well – note the emphasis on “done correctly.” I’m not recommending you remove it from your tactic list, but a little tactical diversity never hurt anyone. Note: I’m keeping these high level and vague on purpose in order to inspire as many starter ideas as possible. I find this to be ideal for brainstorming. It’ll be up to you to take the ones you like, add your own twist, and flesh it out to make it work for your company. (C’mon, I can’t do all the work for you!) PR Boilerplate. Press releases aren’t dead. Make sure you have an optimized boilerplate at the end of all of your news releases that talks about your company. It’s almost always included if/when your release gets picked up by another source. Executive Bios....

Google Launches Mobile Friendly Test Tool

Google Launches Mobile Friendly Test Tool The new tool is at google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly and it basically gives you a pass or fail grade. Either it tells you that you are mobile friendly or you are not mobile friendly. The messages I was able to generate include: Awesome! This page is mobile-friendly. Not mobile-friendly In each output, the yes, you are mobile friendly or no you are not, Google may or may not give more or less advice depending on the site. For example, for this site, we got an “Awesome! This page is mobile-friendly,” but it did add that “this page uses 9 resources which are blocked by robots.txt. The results and screenshot may be incorrect.” It then listed out those resources it had issues with, so you as the webmaster can decide if it is something that needs addressing. Here is a screen shot: Google Launches Mobile Friendly Test Tool I then tested a site that I know what not mobile-friendly and Google explained what the issues were including (a) text t...
