I’ve just published an article called How I make Money Online, at Hubpages http://hubpages.com/hub/How-I-Earn-Money-Online, to share with everyone how i earn my living as a writer. The article mainly talks about how to join Hubpages and what the benefits are of doing so. I found Hubpages a really easy way to get into earning money on line because of several reasons:

It’s free to join and to start up your own Hubpages online business.

I get to choose what I write about, so I can write stuff that interests me.

All the techy stuff is done for you, so you don’t have a bewildering learning curve that results in you making a lot of mistakes right off.

Ok, Hubpages takes a share of the revenue, they get 60% and you get 40%, but I think that’s fair for all the help and support you get.

Support – all the other Hubbers as we’re called are really helpful in sharing information.

I also wrote in this article about how to get jobs as a freelance copywriter online. I work as a freelancer through EU Freelance, a site where buyers post jobs, and you get to bid for those jobs. So far It’s worked really well for me, but you have to be careful. Never give away a free sample of your work to anyone, as people asking for freebies are ususally scammers. Thoroughly check how much you will get for each article – $2 for 100 words is OK, for 1000 words is rubbish. Once you win the bid, keep in touch with the buyer, at least daily, and ask lots of questions so that you’re clear what’s required. Make sure you meet the deadlines required.

Then just enjoy writing and being paid for your words!  Here are some other articles I’ve written http://hubpages.com/hub/Starting-a-small-business-The-Sory-of-The-Chocolate-Bar, about how to set up a small business, giving lots of tips about doing it, and about some of the pitfalls if you’re not careful.  I’m also a published author, having written two children’s books http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Publish-Your-Book.

For some reason hiring the services of a professional online copywriter is way down the list of most entrepreneurs’ things to do. And of course, it should be number 1. If you want your site, any site, to convert better to make more sales then you need to hire the skills of a freelance copywriter. You could of course do it yourself but that means spending a bundle on Amazon (the easy part) and then a couple of years’ hard slog before you become at least adequate.

Persuasive words that sell are the one thing you need to have a chance of making any money at all – epspecially in the crowded world of the internet. So why do so many people pass up the chance of working with a top grade copywriter when it should be one of the first things they do?

Well for one thing, too many people think it’s just “words on a page” and surely anyone can do that. Right? Not so…learning how to pull prospects into your copy and hold them there, building desire until they absolutely have to have whatever it is you’re selling is a special skill and one that can’t be learned overnight.

On top of that being able to write copy that stands out in the information age, that towers head and shoulders above rival products is no small task. If you think you can achieve this with no understanding of copy you’re sorely mistaken. The one thing you do have though, is a personal view of your product which, when combined with copy skills, can make a very persuasive offer. Product knowledge plus purposeful copywriting means a ton of sales. Don’t skimp on the most important part of the sales process.
