Top 3 Freelance Writing Websites

With the internet turning into a major hub of income sources, more and more people are turning towards this World Wide Web to earn their portion of online money. One good area, to earn a regular income, is writing articles. There are several freelance websites, which offer an exciting platform for writers to earn money online. Some of these websites make an upfront payment, while others enable writers to earn a passive income. This article talks about the top 3 freelance websites, wherein contractors can sell their writing services to earn a regular income.

1) Elance

Elance is an awesome freelancer website that offers a great platform for writers to connect with clients all over the world. The biggest advantages online writers get from this site is that they receive huge payouts for their writing skills. Elance provides writing assignments with higher payouts. A writer can earn $10 -$100 per article, depending on the requirements of the client and the nature of the writing assignment. At the same time, clients receive high quality content for the amount spent.

Elance does this in an efficient manner. The company categorizes writers into various levels, based on their performance and feedback. This feature enables clients to choose the best content provider. Moreover, Elance limits application quota to 15 connects per month. This feature compels writers to bid on assignments wisely. Clients, on the other hand, are assured that only serious writers bid on their job postings. However, writers can upgrade their membership level at $10 per month to get more connects. In addition, writers can purchase additional connects.

Elance offers hourly mode as well as fixed mode to complete a writing assignment. Hourly jobs are calculated from Monday to Friday. The client can monitor the hourly task with the help of a tracker. As soon as the work-week ends, an invoice is created and sent to the client. There is a processing fee of 8.75% on each payment. Payments are guaranteed with Elance escrow. In short, Elance offers high paying writing assignments, guaranteed payments, excellent customer support and adequate help resources. The only drawback with Elance is the limited number of connects.

2) Odesk

Odesk is one of the best freelance writing sites available for new writers. Unlike Elance and ScriptLance, there is no minimum payout for the tasks. Contractors can bid as low as $0.01. In addition, the application quota is 20 per week. If this quota is used wisely, it is not difficult to manage writing assignments all over the month.

The most striking feature of Odesk is the hourly work tracking system. Clients can monitor the work done by the contractors in an efficient manner. The tracker captures screen shots every ten minutes. In addition, it logs the total number of keyword strokes and mouse clicks within each interval. Payments for hourly jobs are guaranteed. Odesk charges 10% on each payment. Creating a profile and working on writing assignments in Odesk is free. There are no membership levels or additional fees. Navigation on the site is simple and easy. Payments can be received through Paypal, check or Bank transfers. Customer service on Odesk is awesome. Recently, when Indian contractors were unable to use Paypal to withdraw funds, Odesk created a provision to deposit funds directly to their bank accounts.

3) ScriptLance

ScriptLance is another good freelance writing site. Though the majority of jobs posted here are related to software coding, writers can still earn a decent income. There is good number of writing assignments, and it is easy for new writers to secure an assignment. The minimum bid price is $10. The site offers jobs with good payout structures. When the client chooses a winning bid, $5 is charged to the client. At the same time, when a writer’s application is chosen for the job, $5 or 5% is charged. This amount can be paid within 30 days. This amount is refunded if the job is cancelled for any reason.

Applying for a writing job on ScriptLance is different to Elance and Odesk. Writers place a bid and then contact the client with additional details. However, applicants can see the bids and timeframes quoted by other contractors. ScriptLance escrow option is available for a guaranteed payment. However, people can choose not to use the escrow system.

While there are several freelance sites, these 3 websites are the most popular ones. They offer high volume of work and guaranteed payments. Now, making an online writing career is simple and easy.

Create an Online Presence as a Writer

Work At Home Malaysia — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 16:59:32 +0000

A Writer Online Presence Is Important

With so many writers throughout the world it can be difficult to get your name known. It is hard, but it’s not impossible. It just takes a bit of time and hard work. This article outlines 4 ways that you, as a writer, can get your name known to other writers and as well as your readers.

1. Start a blog

Blogging is important for writers. It’s how you connect to your readers and other writers. As a writer you want your blog to be writing oriented. You want to blog about what you’re writing, the writing life and even what you’re reading. While you can talk about your personal life, you want to make sure that you don’t turn your blog into a place to vent. You want your blog to be a place people want to stop by and enjoy themselves.

2. Join networking sites

A good way for a writer to connect with people is to join networking sites. If you join just a few of the most popular networking sites you can easily be found by readers who enjoy your work. The nice thing about networking sites these days is that you can usually update them all at once as most of them allow syncing with each other. You won’t have to worry about spending too much time updating your status on each one individually, but you will still get your name and work out there for all to read.

3. Promote yourself

As a writer you cannot be shy about promoting your work. As you will find, there are writers who go to extraordinary lengths to promote their new works. In order to get your work the recognition it deserves, you must do the same. You don’t have to go crazy with your promoting, but it’s important that you let people know when you have a new piece of work published.

4. Create an online portfolio

You can create a portfolio page on your blog or you can set up another site specifically to house your portfolio. If you have your own website you can put all of your writing related items there to keep everything in one place instead of requiring people to locate different websites. If you do have a couple of different links, make sure they are visible. Don’t forget to promote both your blog and your website, otherwise people won’t know that they exist. An online portfolio is especially important so that editors can see where you’ve been published before and even see samples of your writing. Don’t forget to include your contact info on your portfolio.

Creating an online presence is important for a writer. As a writer you want your work to be seen and read. You also want to receive feedback on your work. When you begin creating an online presence for yourself and your work, you will begin to build a following of loyal readers.

Make Money Online by Selling Your Handmade Items

Work At Home Malaysia — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 19:27:12 +0000

Work At Home Selling Handmade Items

Do you often give handmade gifts to friends and relatives? Or, do you have a stack of handmade items that you cannot find a use for? If so, why not consider selling your handmade items online? From one-of-a-kind pieces of hand-crafted jewelry to original oil paintings, the Internet provides a vast marketplace for handmade products, whether you are new to selling or whether you are already a seasoned seller at other venues.

If you already sell your handmade creations at craft fairs, the Internet can give you a much wider potential customer base than that found at a craft fair. Also, the per-item cost of selling items online can be lower than at a craft fair.

Ebay Good Place To Start Selling

If you have never sold your hand-crafted items before and are therefore not sure how to price them, eBay is perhaps a good place to start. It supplies a very large potential customer base and gives you the opportunity to try out a few pricing strategies.

Another advantage of eBay is that you do not have to pay upfront for your online presence. You simply pay a small fee for each item you list and, if the item sells, you also pay a final value fee, which is a percentage of the sale.

The eBay marketplace may be a good option if you are selling items that appeal to a fairly wide audience, such as clothing, accessories or jewelry. It may not be such a good choice if you are selling items in a niche market, such as original paintings or linoprints.

Online Marketplace

Once you are confident about selling your handmade items, it may be time to extend your online presence to a more specialized website. If you have already sold handcrafted items offline, you may wish to by-pass eBay and begin by selling items on websites that enable artists and crafters to sell their wares.

There are several international online marketplaces for handmade items, including Etsy, Art Fire and FuzzB. In addition, there are some country-specific and region-specific websites such as Folksy in the UK and DaWanda in France, Germany and the UK.

Each of these marketplaces enables you to list your handmade items for sale and to receive payment from buyers. Each marketplace has different terms and conditions and different levels of fees, so it is a good idea to spend some time reviewing each website before deciding which one to sign up with.

When evaluating an online marketplace, try to find out how many visitors it has and whether or not handmade products in your category tend to sell in fairly large quantities. You can find this out by looking at the number of items already sold by sellers of items in your category. It is also a good idea to look at how many other sellers are offering similar products. If there is a large amount of competition, it may be more difficult to establish yourself and obtain sales.

Own Website To Sell Your Handmade Items

Once you have achieved success in an online marketplace, it is time to consider setting up your own website. You will now have an established customer base so you can just inform all of your past customers of your new website. It may take some time and effort to design your own website and add e-commerce but you could use existing photographs and your current business logo.

If you enjoy making things by hand, the Internet provides a huge international marketplace for your wares. Investigate several ways of selling your products online and experiment in order to find out which way of selling works the best for you. As you do so, you will establish contact with customers and, in time, you will have a large number of clients to whom you can market your goods.

When to Use Adsense on Your Blog

Work At Home Malaysia — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 17:48:51 +0000

Google Adsense

Google’s Adsense and AdWords are the current kingpins of online marketing, with literally billions of searches every day and millions of clicks involved.

But, you might be wondering about the title here if you’re fairly new to blogging. “When to Use Adsense On Your Blog” makes a clear point. You shouldn’t always use Google Adsense on your blog. It depends on your goals for the blog, such as if it’s to promote a business, to showcase your writing, to sell books or other merchandise, or to monetize your writing. This guide helps with the key choices you will have to make on whether you should monetize your blog with Adsense. It also works for other ad programs.

When Not To Use Adsense

Adsense is designed for blogs and sites, but not every site will use them, some for obvious reasons. You rarely see a freelancer, say a web designer, monetize his blog with ads because it will take readers and potential clients away from his/her blog. This is crucial. Do you want to move readers away from your blog because of one click through ad sale? You might make 5 cents on the ad.

Say you are a professional marketer, and you’re selling an eBook on your blog. This blog gets a lot of hits, so you wonder whether or not to add some affiliate ads. In most cases, you shouldn’t. You are trying to sell readers on the fact you understand marketing and have an eBook which will help them. If they click on an Adsense ad and it takes them away from your site, you might lose business and interest.

It’s a two edged sword, because often the reader will come back to your blog. But are you willing to take a chance?

When To Use Adsense

There are many blogs out there whose major income comes from Adsense. Say you are a job finder, and you run a job blog with weekly lists of jobs in a certain field. This is quite common, and a profitable way to make money online. Here, using Adsense makes sense, namely because your main goal is to find people jobs. Getting clicks here could literally make your blog a big earner. You could get hundreds if not thousands of clicks a day from a large amount of readers. That adds up.

When to Use Both

There are cases when you might want to both use Adsense and sell something. Oftentimes bloggers establish their blog with unique content and add Adsense immediately; sometimes when the site is well known, you don’t lose readers in clicks and a eBook could sell well. Or, if you sell an eBook in the first year of your blog, but have thousands of readers who may have purchased your book, it would be smart to monetize your blog just to add an income stream.

Finale

So you can see it’s a tough decision to make, yet you should establish one way to make money online before the other. Using both can be quite profitable for a blogger, but in the beginning focus on one. Still, it just depends on your situation and your field.

What is Affiliate Marketing

Work At Home Malaysia — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 19:21:53 +0000

How Affiliate Marketing Started

With today’s technology and a troubled economy more and more people are searching for ways to make money from home but they are leery of internet scams riddled with false promises and hidden agendas. From these circumstances, the concept of affiliate marketing was born.

Make Money Online via Affiliate Marketing

There are two ways to make money through an affiliate program. The first is to create a product that can be easily viewed, purchased, and delivered electronically. Products that fit this criterion include e-books, videos, and software products. Once the product has been created a website needs to be built to advertise the product and offer it for sale. This is all relatively easy for someone with a little technical savvy but next comes the hard part, marketing the product.

The internet is a vast universe rich with products for sale. Standing out from the crowd can be very difficult and costly. This is where affiliate marketing comes in. Through an affiliate marketing program the owner of the product uses other people to do the marketing for him and rewards them with a share in the revenue they generate by advertising the product. This is a win for the product owner because he now has his own virtual sales team advertising his product on their blogs, websites, and social networks providing him with potential traffic to his website and he only needs to pay them when they make a sale.

Affiliate Marketers

On the other side of affiliate marketing are the affiliates and anyone with a blog, website, or social networking account can become one. These people paste customized hyperlinks to the product on their websites and social network pages. When their viewers click the link and purchase the product, the affiliate gets credit for the sale.

An affiliate will not likely get rich from this process but they can market multiple products in multiple venues to optimize their earning potential. Smart affiliates select products that compliment the style and genre of their website so their friends and viewers are more likely to find the products attractive and useful. Affiliates may also use other marketing techniques like email advertising to boost their earning potential. Some chose to write reviews of the products to post on their website or blog in order to drive traffic to both sites.

Getting Started With Affiliate Marketing

The easiest way to get started in affiliate marketing is to join an affiliate marketplace or affiliate management agency. These websites provide affiliate members with access to thousands of marketable products. They create the customized hyperlinks, take payments for product sales, and perform all of the accounting for both parties. The product owner generally pays a membership fee to join, but affiliates can join for free and immediately begin selecting products to market. Popular websites like Amazon, Google and EBay also invite affiliates to post links on their blogs or websites and may pay them for the traffic generated from their link even if it doesn’t result in a sale.

Work At Home Tips for Malaysians

Work At Home Malaysia — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 20:45:25 +0000

Work At Home

There’s plenty of work at home jobs available for Malaysians if one follows some guideline or work at home tips in order to fully maximize your time. Many legitimate websites offer service provision opportunities, which if done well, the worker gets their money wired to the account of their choice. This growth in outsourcing can be attributed to the lack of jobs and jobs that actually pay well; on top of that, some people require jobs that they can do comfortably from home owing to necessity and responsibilities.

The advantages involved with working from home cannot be disputed. Everything from time management and comfort; working from home allows you to easily organize your time so that you are your own boss and you choose to work at the time when you know you’ll be most productive. This allows you to create a schedule where if you only work for five hours, you achieve a lot because you’ve programmed yourself to be most productive in that particular time frame.

Another advantage is there is no chain of command as it normally is in a regular office. If you want to make a decision regarding your work, whether it’s taking a holiday or reducing your working hours, you can do all that whenever you feel like without having to answer to anybody.

If you follow some simple work at home tips, you get a chance to start a home job that you may otherwise be unable to especially in the case of qualifications. Provided you can handle the job well and can be accountable to your prerogative, you will definitely find something to do. This is the fun and liberty that come with work at home jobs.

Having said that, it’s important to understand what to do and not do when working from home to avoid any complications. The availability of online jobs up for grabs in any given country may be limited due to factors such as languages, overall prowess and in some cases, the Internet itself may be regulated.

Work At Home Do’s

You should talk it over with whomever you may be living with in order to establish exactly how and when you’ll be working from home and so as to create the home office without destabilizing whoever else shares your house. Some people may find it difficult to set up a home office where they can work without the distractions that come from being in the house.

Depending on the type of business you are involved in, you might need to organize a spacious office in order to be efficient. If it is a matter of service provision where you mostly require a computer and perhaps a telephone then the space needed shouldn’t be much, but if you’re moving goods around, then a spare bedroom may be required for storage.

Working from home needs a lot of discipline. So in order to avoid difficulty, you need to look at the home office as just a normal job and create a pattern that suits you, from reporting time to the time you leave. Many people find it difficult to adjust to a home office, which basically looks like a part time activity.

Work At Home Don’ts

First off, you shouldn’t let the economic conditions in the country deter you from doing your job.
Also, if you’re trying to land a home job, don’t quit your day job before acquiring one that matches or far exceeds your current paycheck.

Don’t allow yourself to be distracted, no matter what the challenge. It may be difficult at first to adjust to the whole experience, but after some time it gets easier.

Do not suffer alone. In order to establish yourself quickly as an online worker, you need to create a network of fellow workers to get all the information you can on all the important factors in your specific country. This can done by connecting with the right-minded people on social networks like Facebook and twitter.

With these points in mind, working from home in Malaysia should not be that much of a problem, but if you encounter difficulty while working, you always have fellow networkers to guide you on some of the problems they face themselves, and so, building your home business can be done with much less difficulty.

Anybody can start working from home but it takes patience, skills and persistent to be successful.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Internet Freelancing

Work At Home Malaysia — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 10:29:46 +0000

Internet Freelancing

There has been a major boom in Internet freelancing in recent years. This is particularly the case amongst those who have lost their day jobs due to economic downturn and those who enjoy the independence of freelancing. Internet freelancing provides a very real opportunity compared to the numerous get-rich-quick schemes and risky startup ventures. By the end of 2011, the number of people in the world with Internet access reached close to two-billion. A global market with a potentially vast audience, it is not surprising that it is laden with opportunities. Finding these opportunities can be challenging, but Internet freelancing provides some of the best opportunities of all.

The Advantages of Internet Freelancing

Internet freelancing allows you to become location-independent. For many, this is the biggest incentive of all. Without any necessity to commute to work, you also have minimal overheads. If you plan to live abroad, especially in a country where you cannot easily find work due to language or wage issues, Internet freelancing is often the only opportunity. If you live in a country which has a lower cost of living than your own, you will also have more disposable income.

Your qualifications tend to be less important when it comes to freelancing. If you are looking for freelancing opportunities, prospective clients are not likely to be looking for university degrees or years of experience. Your résumé is largely irrelevant. Prospective clients are interested in whether or not you can provide the high quality work that they need and expect from you. Whether you can provide high quality demonstrations of your abilities is what people are most interested in. For many of the lower paid writing jobs, just being a native English speaker with an ability to write coherently is often enough.

If you hate going to job interviews, Internet freelancing is the solution for you. If you are not confident in face-to-face interaction with your colleagues and superiors but can still provide high quality work, Internet freelancing is ideal.

The Disadvantages of Internet Freelancing

No opportunity is perfect and making a living is rarely easy. If something seems too good to be true, then it probably is. Internet freelancing is no exception to this.

It takes time and patience to build up a respectable and consistent income from Internet freelancing. There are few guarantees. With a regular job, you will typically have a contract. Most day jobs offer additional bonuses such as paid holiday and sick pay. With freelancing of any kind, you get none of this. If you want to take a week off work, you will lose a week’s income unless you have a passive income.

If you work for a client who suddenly decides not to take you on for any further work, you lose your income from that client immediately. There is no one-month notice. This is why it is best to have multiple jobs and clients. This way, you can minimize the risk of your monthly income vanishing or becoming too low.

You also have to discipline yourself to succeed in Internet freelancing. If you do not treat it as a proper job, it is unlikely that you will ever get very far. You should set yourself targets to work towards. Set yourself a realistic target for how much you want to earn in a week and strive to meet that target. You should also aim to get into some form of a routine. This can be flexible, but you need to work more rigorously to reach the stage where you have a consistently reliable income. At this point, you can start taking some liberties as you see fit.

Conclusion

The best way to start out with Internet freelancing is to start part-time in addition to a regular job. This way, you can make a supplementary income and establish yourself as a respected and experienced freelancer. With enough time and perseverance, you should eventually have enough confidence to quit your day job and start making a full time income from freelancing. By contrast, quitting your day job on a whim is an extremely bad idea. If you lose your job due to factors beyond your control, freelancing can give you something to focus on while you are looking for a new one.

Fiverr is not for everyone, if you don’t treat it seriously like it’s a joke with gigs that involves poking fun or drawing funny pictures, then your earnings as a seller will not be going anywhere, you will either be making $30 a month if you do those kind of small gigs, but if you are serious and not lazy enough and are willing to do challenging work like providing services that people could use, then $30 an hour is not far from your potential earnings.

Imagine those buyers that had to pay professionals articles ranging from ridiculous amounts of $25-$150 per 500 word articles, they all will end up your doorstep if you are offering them at this price, just $5!.

Make that as an expert SEO writer, you can churn in articles at a rate of 2 per 15 minutes if you really have to do it without the distractions and full attention to the task at hand, then in an hour you can do around 8 articles, that would be 8 X $5 = $40 an hour worth of work for you, and I must say you don’t want to stop working for an hour now do you? Yes you can make up to 20 gigs on Fiverr and if you are dedicated like I said you have the potential to earn big bucks on Fiverr.

Yes I know, you are no machine and you cannot be doing 20 gigs of just articles and you might have a bleeding nose. Well you can outsource to your friends some of the work and pay them $3 and still you have a profit of $1. Fiverr deducts $1 from every gig that you sell. Fiverr allows you to make a decision on how long are you going to finish per gig, you can put it out at 3-4 days, that way you can have a smooth buffer till the next gigs. Also you can diversify to keep yourself not bored. Let’s say this hour is dedicated for article writing while the next hour is for singing a song and the final hour is for you holding a fan sign of other people’s websites, the possibility are yours to try.
