How To Increase Your Online Writing Income

People write online for a wide variety of reasons. Many long time writers are tired of rejection by traditional publishing and may decide to take their writing online and try to make some money with it. Other writers may be bloggers or website owners who simply want to create articles and drive traffic to their main site. The bulk of people who decide to write online will be complete beginners and often feel frustrated when the money from their writing just isn't coming in. This job won't be for everyone due to the slow progress it can take to make enough money to live on. Many writers just give up in the early stages and never write again or get the impression that this is just some giant scam. In this article you'll learn some specific techniques you can use to increase your writing income and become someone that actually makes money online instead of dreaming about it.

There's no point in writing content that doesn't provide great value to your readers. Your content is the single most valuable thing in your writing that will bring you the income you seek. Each article should provide the reader with something they need. This might seem simple but far too many people overlook this important step and write articles that are either too short or don't provide enough content.The Internet is full of page after page of sub-standard writing and a big reason for the "Panda" update brought to us from Goggle. When you create good content it will get passed around the Internet by people who read your work, you'll get noticed, and in return you'll get more traffic. Put your best stamp on each article and be proud of what you write. Your hard work will pay off.

A plain text article can be fine but why not add some other elements to it? Add pictures, videos and make the article more attractive. Just make sure the image is one you own or one from the Internet that you can actually use that doesn't violate any copyrights. There are quite a few sites online where you can find free images to use in your articles. Morguefile, and Wilkpedia Creative Commons are two examples, but you'll find many more. Go back and look at articles that aren't performing and see how you can change them or add new content.

You need to take the time to promote your articles. Use Twitter, Facebook, Digg, StumbleUpon, article directories, and other sites to promote your work. All these efforts will help drive traffic to your main articles and in turn, bring you more income. You can't rely on just the search engines alone to bring in the cash. If you're not promoting it might just be the reason that the income isn't where you want it to be.

Don't throw all your eggs in one basket. Try writing for multiple content sites, do some freelancing, write an eBook, start your own blog, and look to new sources of writing income on a regular basis. Content sites change and they may go under so always have a backup plan in terms of your income. Wizzley is a new site that you might like to write to as it has a whole lot to offer new writers or as a place to put old articles from failing content sites. 

You can make money with your writing online. Be sure to make the very best articles you can and try to spice them up with some added features like videos or images. Make sure each article provides some value to your readers and don't create junk, since it will fail in the long run. Research keywords and SEO so people can find your work online. Promote your articles as much as possible and look to new sites for your articles so you have more income streams. Work hard writing online and you will be rewarded, just give it time.
