Let’s look at three hot money-making areas in Web writing. By the way, the first two of these opportunities demand no great writing skill, so even if you’re a completely new writer, you’ll find plenty of writing jobs.

1. Web articles - Web sites need articles, and they need them now

Web sites need content, specifically text content. That means articles. If you can write articles of some 400 to 600 words, you can based an entire Web writing business just on writing articles.

The topics Web site owners need depend on the industry of each Web site. Business sites want articles on business topics, health sites want health articles, computer gaming sites want articles on popular games, and so on.

To get experience in writing articles for the Web, go to one of the many out-sourcing sites, and bid on some jobs. You won’t make much income on these sites, because the writers tend to under-bid. However, you will get a lot of priceless experience.

2. The blog phenomenon - blogging appeals to many writers, because it’s on-going work

For Web site owners, blogs are magic. A blog “post” (as small blog articles are called) can become indexed by the search engines and available to Web surfers within 24 hours. This makes blogs valuable to site owners; therefore many owners are looking for bloggers.

As with articles, check out the out-sourcing sites for blog jobs, but first, create a small blog of your own so you can see how it all works.

3. Creating and selling Web sites - highly lucrative for experienced writers

After they’ve been freelance writing on the Web for a while, many writers turn to writing and selling Web sites. Writers have the skills to develop attractive sites, so people who are looking for a fast way to get started in their own Web businesses buy these sites.
