When a Web site buys a magazine, it’s time to start thinking about new markets

The Knot Gets A Bump says:

“You know the media world has been turned upside down when Websites start buying magazines. Today, the Knot, which operates the wedding site of the same name, acquired The Bump, a group of local magazines and maternity guides in 11 cities. Terms were not disclosed.”

I know many freelancers target the wedding/ first home/ parenting demographics, and if this is you, take the hint and start targeting new Web sites sprouting in those niches. You should be able to get a weekly article (column in mag terms) or even a twice weekly blogging gig.

The above three demographics are hungry markets, so even if you’re just starting out as a freelance writer, you’ll got a great chance of becoming a regular contributor to new sites.

Make money writing Web sites

If you can use a word processor, you can write Web sites.

Many writers shy away from creating Web sites… they imagine it’s too techy, too complex. It’s not. A small simple site can begin earning money for you very quickly. As a rule of thumb, if you’ve created a site in an area in which there are advertisers you can start earning five to ten dollars a day per site. Now $10 a day isn’t much. But what if you had ten sites all earning $10 day? That’s $100 a day, which is $36,500 a year, just from ten simple sites. What if you had 20 such sites, all earning you $10 a day – or even more – in fact, some sites will earn you $100 a day? “Super-Fast Money-Making Web Sites For Writers: Join The Web-Publishing Bonanza” shows you how.
