Web Writing: How to Develop a Great Career In 2011

Do you want to develop a great writing career? Consider web writing. The opportunities are limitless, because the web is constantly expanding. Be aware however that low-paid jobs prevail, and that you need to know what you’re doing.

When you’re looking for writing opportunities, there are two ways to go. You can choose to write for others, or you can create projects for yourself. If you’re an established writer, you’ll want to do the latter.

Let’s look at three excellent opportunities for writers in 2011.

1. Writing Web Content: Selling Words

The web is built on a foundation of words. Every website needs words, which means that there’s an ongoing need for writers. However, the web is maturing. These days there’s an abundance of low-value content, and the web search engines are becoming selective.

Three or four years ago, almost any content could be tossed online and would produce an income of some sort. In 2010 and beyond, the search engines are becoming more selective. While there’s still a lot of junk online, the trend is towards higher quality content.

This means that there are ample opportunities for writers who can produce excellent material.

Here’s a tip. Focus on your local area, and local businesses. Not only is there much less competition, but local businesses prefer to hire local writers, because you understand local conditions.

2. Website Flipping: Sell Online Real Estate

Website flippers (that, is people who create sites to sell) have been making great incomes.

As with web content, this has meant that low quality sites have flooded the market. Focus on creating quality sites and you can’t go wrong.

The amount of money you’ll make when selling any site depends on how much the site is earning. Your primary aim therefore is to focus on creating sites which will make an income.

3. Creating Information Products: Sell Information

If you’re an established writer, put your skills to work in creating your own information products, and sell them. These days it’s very easy to sell online, so the only limit on your income is your imagination and creativity.

Will 2011 be a huge year for you? You can ensure that you will, if you make plans to grab some of the great web writing opportunities today.

If you can write, you can “flip” websites. Here’s what it takes to become a site flipper: you get an idea, you buy a domain name, create a site (in minutes), write some content for a site (in a couple of hours), and sell the site. Or, you can keep the site, to sell later, once it starts earning for you.

One writer, who’s well-known in site flipping circles, says that when she started flipping websites she made $100,000 PROFIT in five months, with a $100 investment. You can do this too, once you have a simple process to follow.
