Web Writing – Working As A Freelance Writer Online
Freelance Writing
When I look back over the decades I’ve spent as a freelance writer, it’s clear whenever the economy was slow, my clients increased. That’s true in the current downturn too.
To keep busy as a freelance writer, consider becoming a copywriter, that is, someone who writes ads, press releases and white papers — marketing collateral used to promote a business.
When the economy dips, companies cut back by cutting out their marketing departments. However, those materials still need to be written, so the companies hire freelance copywriters and pay them very well.
Web content writing is also an excellent opportunity today, as companies try to do more with fewer dollars. A writer who can take charge of a website’s content is of great value to a company. Businesses know that good content will generate traffic months and years after it was written, so it is one of the best advertising investments they can make.
Writers can also get jobs as Web advertising managers. Web advertising works well for companies. It’s a thrifty option, because as with content, the return on investment is much better than it is for other forms of advertising, and it’s easier to track.
So, if you offer Web advertising management services, you’ll get an avalanche of writing work. You can get certified by the large advertising networks, so that companies know that you can do the work.
Finally, consider getting writing jobs related to social media. Perhaps you’ve heard of Social Media Marketing. If you’re interested in “Web 2.0″ applications like Twitter and Facebook, and already use these applications, think about how you might offer networking on these sites as part of the freelance writing services you provide.
You could also consider offering online publicity services. Writers who do this kind of work offer companies complete online publicity packages. These can include writing press releases, blogging, forum marketing and other online activities.
