If you’re keen to supplement your writing income and/or if you wish to break in to freelance writing, one way to do it is through writing for content sites like Constant-Content.com. There are two ways to earn money from this:
1) Watch for the “Requested Content” area and write articles that are on demand. This is one good way to make sure that whatever you’re writing would have a possible buyer. Of course, there will still be a lot of factors affecting possible sales. But then, the more you do this, the better you’ll be at finding out what works and what doesn’t.
Tip: Make sure you get email notifications for this – so you’ll know when a new request is placed online. Then, get busy writing!
2) Just post any article you’ve written and put a price on it. It’s like having your own syndication service. You can offer articles either as one-time use only (exclusive) for a higher price (typically, US$50-100 depending on the topic). Or, you can offer articles as standard use for a lower price (typically below US$25). The latter is better if you think you’ll have an article that will appeal to a lot of possible publishers. So, you can re-sell that piece over and over.
Tip: Articles with pictures seem to do well. So, you might want to consider adding photos.
Another thing that you might want to consider is that the company offers 50% royalties off each sale. So, factor this in when coming up with prices.
This type of writing gig will probably not bring you that much riches or fame. However, there are writers who report earning a good extra change from doing this. And, it’s ideal if you have articles just wasting away in your computer hard drive anyway.
