How to Use Craigslist to Find Writing Work

imac,apple imac,imac computers,While writing for many of the Royalty-Payment websites will allow you to flex your writing muscles online, and possibly earn you a small monthly income from the articles that you publish, the only way to earn a significant work from home income much more quickly is to land one or two writing gigs.

Ideally, what you're looking for is a short term, small job where you'll need to produce from five to ten articles for a webmaster, or some similar job. You could always search Constant Content or Scriptlance for posted jobs - but when you do so, you have to keep in mind that you'll be competing with thousands of other writers who are searching over the same listings that you are. That doesn't mean that you can successful land some great jobs at those sites, just just means that you'll need to lower your price in order to stay competitive.

One of the most common questions I'm asked whenever I tell people the sort of online writing work that I do is whether it's really possible to earn money online through work at home. My answer is always the same, yes - it's absolutely possible. But you won't succeed by answering those too-good-to-be-true ads about earning $100,000 a year from home by letting your "computer do all of the work for you!" The magic bullet that I've found comes from using your god-given talent to earn a significant income for your family. There are four simple steps you can follow that will get you there. First you need to be honest with yourself about your abilities, then you need to decide that you're going to work your tail off in order to succeed, and finally - you're going to decide that quitting isn't an option.

Work at Home by Completing Online Writing Jobs

The online world is going through an amazing transformation. When the Internet started getting popular, back in the 90's, websites were fairly dull - with cookie cutter table-like formatting, with drab grey colors and horrendous writing. And work from home jobs using the internet was virtually unheard of. Here's an example - my apologies to Wendyanne...I simply grabbed this because it was the first example I found.

Whenever an English major graduates, they often find themselves faced with finding a way to make income from a creative art - and this year a fair number of them are asking, "What are the best technical writing fields of 2008?"

Finding the Best Technical Writing Fields of 2008

According to a 2008 article on JobWeb.com
titled "Class of 2008 Steps Into Good Job Market," the top ten degrees in demand don't hint at what the best technical writing fields are. However if you review the list closely, you'll recognize an important advantage to English graduates who excel in creative writing.

Mastering the Art of Writing

The JobWeb.com article lists the usual top "in demand" degrees, including
almost all technical, computer, business, and finance. No surprise there. But what these lists don't share is a unique new trend that should have creative writing enthusiasts smiling from ear-to-ear. And that is - most technically savvy individuals do not have a clue when it comes to writing. All of the things you've learned in the course of earning that English degree may seem useless when you're undertaking the daunting task of finding a job that actually pays. However, you can earn a substantial living if you've mastered the written word.

By now, everyone is starting to understand that Twilight the book and Twilight the movie are quickly becoming the next cultural phenomenon, much like Harry Potter was. But, as a writer, one of the most amazing things about Stephenie Meyer's novel, Twilight, is the fact that it destroys many of the myths about getting yourself published. And more importantly, Stephenie provides a wonderful play-by-play of her experience getting her first book, Twilight, published.

Twilight the Book offers New Writers Hope

Stephenie Meyer's completed her spellbinding manuscript of Twilight the book in only three months. This is an amazing feat, regardless of the fact that she describes how the process of writing it became almost like an addiction. She couldn't stop thinking about it, but was at least able to control the desire to write enough to only write at night after the kids were in bed. Her description of the writing process, which she provides in detail at her website, is almost as intriguing to me as the novel itself. Every writer out there can feel the sort of emotions she describes as she struggles to get the words on paper in the same way it appears on the movie screen of her mind. Soon enough, the book would become Twilight the movie. But first, she needed to get published.

When a 15 year old boy from Western Sweden collapsed after playing World of Warcraft for 20 hours, did it prove that online gaming is harmful to your health?

Is World of Warcraft Harmful For Your Health?

In the past couple of years I've written a number of articles about online gaming. In fact, just six months ago I completed a niche analysis report for a client about the dramatic growth (and projected growth) of the online gaming industry. According to that research, Massive Multiplayer Online Games - giant virtual worlds like Warcraft - represent one of the most substantial segments of the online gaming industry. Americans love immersing themselves into a magical and virtual online world where anything is possible. But are we gaming too much? Is gaming now the new alcoholism of this generation?

Are you brand new to this whole website thing, and looking for an easy introductioni to web page design?

An Introduction to Web Page Design

This month I was tasked with the job of writing an article titled Web Page Design for Dummies. In the process of writing the article, I realized that there are very few resources available out there for people who have absolutely zero skills in webs design or HTML programming background, but who want to have their own website. Technological advances of the internet have made it absolutely possible for such a person to have a well designed and highly-functional web page. The only difficulty for such a person is knowing where to start.

Do you ever wonder how to go about building better website content in order to capture more google search traffic and longer visit times? The answer lies in keyword use and incoming links.

Learning How to Build Better Website Content

As an online content writer, learning how to build better website content is something that I've personally had to learn over a fair amount of time.

While it's easy enough for a webmaster to throw together a page of content, it isn't likely to attract many visitors to your site. Some web designers will go so far as to take a course on building better website content that teaches the importance of using keywords, and then they'll attempt to draw in traffic by jamming their pages fill of keywords. This is also known as keyword spamming.

While this worked in the older days of the internet, it no longer works today. The following elements are what you need to focus on in order to make sure web page content is optimized to draw in the most traffic to your website.
