Online Writing Income

Most people who make money online are always looking for ways to increase their income. Some entrepreneurs learn through trial and error while others browse popular forums to gain tips and secrets from the pros.

I’ve spent quite a bit of time doing both. Learning from my mistakes and absorbing any information I can from those who are successful at doing what I want to do.

Recently I came across an eBook entitled 20 Ways to Make $100 a Day Online. The book is written by folks who are currently earning in excess of $100 a day from their online ventures. The 240 page eBook is loaded with information. In essence, it’s 20 mini eBooks with hands on advice from the authors on how they became successful.

Of the 20 mini eBooks, I was particularly interested in the section on Writing Articles and Profitable Nice Marketing. I don’t consider myself a newbie so I was interested to see if the information was the same old stuff or if it contained something new. I was pleasantly surprised to see a combination of both.

I was pleased to see the ‘same old stuff’ because it validated the fact that I was doing something right. I was especially pleased to see the ‘new stuff’ because there were a few new links and tools that I have yet to add to my online money making arsenal.

All in all, I believe it was a $27 well spent. Aside from being a tax deduction (I recently did my taxes and am on the look out for tax write offs), this 240 page eBook has more information than I can digest in one day.

I came across a site today that could help folks who are looking to become technical writers. Check out Online Technical Writing. In essence it’s an online book with plenty of free information on how to put together a technical document.

It provides information, samples and an explanation of the process from the initial strategizing through to the final peer review. If you want even more detailed information, they encourage you to purchase the text book “Power Tools for Technical Communication” by David A. McMurrey. However, if you prefer not to purchase the book and want some solid information on technical writing, I suggest you visit the website and gain as much free information as you possibly can.

No matter how fast you type, I can bet that you don’t type as fast as you talk. Just imagine if you didn’t have to type each article. All you had to do is think, speak and your computer would do the rest. Your final task was look it over to make sure its what you wanted to say.

Well, if that’s what you want, what are you waiting for? I’ve been doing it for about a year now and am lost without my technology. I’m talking about getting a digital voice recorder. They’re not expensive, they are a tax write off if you use them in your freelance writing business, and once you get the hang of it, your productivity goes through the roof.

I call my digital recorder my brain and I have it hanging around my neck. When an idea hits, no longer do I run to find a piece of paper and a pen (the ink in the pen is never ready when I am). By the time I find the paper and pen, I forget what I was about to write (yes, I am at that age where my memory plays hide-n-seek).

Once I do a brain dump, I hook my brain to the computer, download it and let the software transcribe it. All I have to do is edit it.

If you’re serious about earning money as a freelance writer, the more you write the more you earn, why not speed up the process?
