Can You Really Make Money Writing Online Content?

Have you ever harbored the secret desire to write for a living and get paid for it? Many of us have but we've kept it to ourselves convinced we could never do it so why talk about writing for a living in the first place?

Now here comes David Drake. Only a few years ago he was wiped out financially. He was at a loss of what to do next. Well he got on the internet, looked at a few ways of making money and settled on writing online content as a freelancer. Today he's earning a six figure income annually. Let's find out how he does it.

INTERVIEWER: David, what started you on the road to self-employment in the first place?

David: It was 2004. I had a zero bank balance, and was living with my parents... man I was flat broke! This was not a proud moment in my life. My situation was grim as was my attitude. I was prepared to give up on everything.

INTERVIEWER: Doesn't David's story sound like so many other successful entrepreneurs who at some point hit rock bottom and then turned that adversity into success?

David continues: I found you could get paid to write online content. My writing skills were poor, and to make matters worse... I'm a slow writer. But my situation was dire and I started going after writing assignments. My first assignment was for a woman, writing content for her site on wheelchairs. I have to tell you I struggled to finish the assignment. She was ecstatic with the results though, and gave me rave reviews!

INTERVIEWER: Does a person have to go to school or take a specific course to learn how to write online content that people are willing to pay you for writing?

David: The average person only reads at a 6th grade level. To be a good online content writer you only need to write in a basic conversational tone... like you talk.

INTERVIEWER: What do you like best about being a internet freelance writer other than the good living you make from doing it?

David: Living the retired lifestyle! Operating from anywhere in the world! All that's needed is a laptop and an Internet connection.

Folks, writing certainly isn't for everyone but there are still millions of people out there in the world harboring the secret dream of writing professionally. Now with the internet your dream of making a living writing online content can come true for you. It doesn't require taking writing courses but it does require determination and a commitment to honing your writing skills on a daily basis.
