Writing for free to make money writing

Consider writing for free to make money writing. This sounds like a contradiction in terms, right? It’s not.

There are dozens of reasons you should write for free. I write articles and ezines “for free” as a low-cost marketing strategy, and because I like it: after 30 years in the writing game, I’ve got a lot to say about writing. :-)

You’ll find some high-powered businesses and individuals writing for free. 5 Reasons to Write For Free says “I’ve published 1,215 articles without being paid a dime.”

I know of one company which at last count had 1600 free articles on the various article directories. The company uses “free” articles to drive traffic to their Web sites, and it’s very effective, simply because articles are the gift which keeps on giving. Articles stay online forever, whereas advertisements don’t: if you want to keep running an ad, you have to pay for the privilege.

Should you write for free?

I have no idea. Ask yourself WHY – your answer will be different from my answer, and from the answers of other writers. What will your free writing achieve for you? If the answer makes sense, start writing for free.

The benefits can be amazing.
