writing and research

In the current economic crisis it makes sense for writers with a freelance writing and research business to diversify a little if they want to increase their income. Even if you are making a much lower than usual amount of money at something, if work is a bit slow, at least you are making some money.

No matter how busy you might be, if you are a freelance writer in the business of freelance writing then you always need to be on the lookout for other ways of making money from your writing.

Freelancers should Diversify

I write for several clients and for a couple of content mills when I have a spare hour or two. I have Adsense on this and on my other blog but I don’t seem to have seen much profit from that yet. Occasionally I write and article for Triond as they pay out every month, even if you’ve only earned a dollar or two.

PLR Articles

I was reading Raven’s blog today, particularly her post on writing PLR articles. In case you don’t know, PLR articles are public label rights where you can sell an article you have written many times over. You may only charge a $1 for that article but if you sell ten or twenty or more of that article, then you’ve made a reasonable rate. Most writers who do this sell batches of 5 or ten articles and it is possible to make as much as fifty dollars from one article on a good day. Head on over to Raven’s blog and read the post, it sounds like a good way of making a bit of extra income.
