How to make money as a content writer?

"Content Writing"- a field that is considered as a very "easy" thing to do, is not so effortless as it seems to be. Every content writer knows the amount of effort and brainstorming that goes into writing words that not only convey some meaning, but also are able to attract the readers. Moreover, in today's age of digitalization of everything and the world coming online, it has become easier for anyone from any corner of the world to write whatever they feel like from any of their personal electronic devices. Well this in one way is good for budding writers, since they have an unbiased an open platform to pitch their ideas and content before the world, but also on the other hand, this big increase in number of writers online has decreased the payouts that traditional writers were getting before the internet websites took the world by storm.

So, today in this article we are going to learn some of the common ways by which one can easily earn money while writing content online. So, here we go:

1.Blogging-

Ask anyone around you about content writing or simply google, one suggestion that you'll find common amongst all of those articles is about - how one should start their writing journey by creating blogs, and I couldn't agree more. This is way by which every human being with a basic knowledge of computers and internet could come online and write whatever they feel like. But the payout gets started only when your blog has a good reach and people are really interested in what you like. Also, one needs to be very consistent here, i.e. he/she needs to be relevant and regular to attract people and make some money out of it.

2. Writing for big publications/ media houses/ Internet websites/ or YouTube channels-

Well, who doesn't want to be associated with big players in the field right? So, by going this traditional way, you could learn so much while working with the industry people, while getting decently paid and this experience of yours could also help you immensely, if you wish to have a platform or space of your own specifically dedicated to your type of content, in the future.

3. Writing for Websites that pay you per reads:

This one is the easiest and most common way to earn for what you write, directly. With platforms like Vocal and others- that are paying you in a ratio of views that you get, it really becomes easier for you to express yourself online and create an audience of your own. Also, since the payout is given directly into the account, it feels as if you are getting rewarded in the most hassle-free way, for your creativity and hard-work. Doesn't this one sound really exciting? So give it a try, I bet you won't regret.

4.Becoming a translator: Well this is one tool that I don't recommend much, but since this post is about content writing, I thought it would be unfair if I'd not mention this method of using your skills and earning money online. Under this method, you just need to find a job or gig online that is looking for someone who can translate text from one language to another, at ease. You can use your googling skills and find a thousand jobs and gigs related to translation and the best part about method is that you get paid very well and it doesn't demand you to be creative at all.
