Online Writing Income

If you are a freelance writer and you don’t have your own blog, it’s time to get one. A blog is helpful to a freelance writer in several ways:

• It’s a great showcase for your writing talent.
• You get to interact with your readers (that can be both good and bad).
• It gives you a place where you don’t have to adhere to anyone else’s writing rules except your own. You can let your creative muse flow.

Newbies should set up blogs on a free blog host such as Blogger.com or WordPress.com. If you intend to monetize your blog, use Blogger because WordPress does not allow ads on their free blog accounts.

Over time your blog hosting requirements may change and you may want to graduate to a more sophisticated blogging system. At that time you can look into self-hosting, but as a newbie, it’s a lot quicker and easier to use a free host.

Now that you’ve set up your own blog, stay tuned, because in future posts we’re going to discuss some of the various ways you can earn money with your very own free blog.
