Want to earn money with your writing talent? Consider blogging and self-publishing to earn recurring income while doing what you love. In this article, you will find six ways to make money writing.
If you are a successful fitness trainer, why not create an online home workout course? Do you run a culinary blog? Then you can create an online course for teaching the preparation of some dishes. Or maybe you just share your life and generate a following. You can create a tutorial on how to blog successfully or how to make money writing.
Since you have a blog, it will be easy to promote your course. You've probably noticed that most influencers are constantly launching all kinds of online courses. The audience likes to receive useful information and learn. This option can be a way for a passive but stable income.
Online courses can be modified into a marathon format. The purpose of a marathon is to motivate participants to complete useful tasks for a certain period of time. This format is in particular demand among the online audience, as a lot of users want to gain new knowledge and benefit quickly with additional motivation. Usually, marathons result in a winner.
The most popular types of marathons at the moment are nutrition or sports marathons. For example, during the week, participants eat according to a pre-agreed menu and do a set of sports exercises. The winner may be the one with the best result.
Prizes act as a powerful trigger that makes consumers pay money to participate. As noted by many bloggers, this format can bring almost twice as much income compared to standard online courses. For someone, such an option can become a source of permanent income, or as a seasonal way of earning.
However, if you choose to self-publish, you are free to write about anything you want. But don’t forget that you need to research and find out what people are interested in, come up with a strategy for your eBook promotion. It should include your personal website development, social media, and email marketing strategy, as well as paid advertising and publishing expenses.

There are many ways to search for freelance writing opportunities, including sites like Upwork, job boards, and even social media.
Affiliate marketing is another popular and profitable way of making money if you have a blog. How does it work? Typically, you will receive a commission from the purchases of consumers who clicked on the link from your blog. Accordingly, you will need to constantly write about the brand and its products in your blog and motivate your audience to buy.
Make sure to choose a product that fits the topic of your blog and test its quality personally before offering it to your subscribers. They will be grateful for a win-win recommendation and won’t be bothered by the ads.
If you are the owner of an authoritative blog with a large audience, then there is an opportunity to make money by posting articles written by others. Most newbies want to find a place where they can post their publications to gain more subscribers. This method of making money is more stable and does not require much time, compared to creating an eBook and selling it, for example.

All of the methods above require your time and effort. However, all of them are equally promising and suitable if you have a talent for engaging an audience with your words.
