In today’s world the internet has unarguably become a force to reckon with. The role the internet plays in our lives cannot be overemphasized. The internet is everything to most of us, and a great many of us can’t imagine spending an entire day outside the web.

That said, the internet has not just become a place where people go to get information, it has also become a hub for making money. If you have the right skills.

We trust you have a favorite blog you enjoy visiting for it’s great and informative contents, or an online publication you have saved under your browser’s favorites. Since society relies heavily on information, writers and bloggers can capitalize on that clause to earn a living for themselves by writing articles and creating informative online contents.

At the present, writers and online content developers are in high demand by online media houses, blogs and even the world of Academia. Which elucidates the goldmine status of online writing. Some Nigerian Freelance Writers have been reported to earn as much as $1000 US dollars a month alone from just writing. That’s not to say such achievements came easy anyway.

To excel as an online writer one must first of all be an exceptional writer. You’ll agree with us that no media house or writing agency would want to hire or retain you if you’ve got no good writing skill. Yes you are a writer, but that’s not gonna be enough for you, you’ve got to be a writer’s writer. What we mean by that is, you’ve got to be so good a writer other writers would have no other choice but to look up to and respect.

Self promotion is another factor that shouldn’t be overlooked. Infact it plays such a vital role in landing the gig and excelling in online writing. Create a digital portfolio of your work and begin marketing yourself properly through social media. If you don’t believe your skills and offering are up-to-par or better than your competitors out there, why will other companies?

Freelance online writing and blogging isn’t all that easy a career path but by using resources that are right at your fingertips (websites like E-Lance, Fiverr, Freelancer and ColouredScribes that helps people find writing gigs), and self-promotion, you will get more bites on the hook. Always have in mind that if you believe in yourself and your work, others will too!

Wishing you good success in your Writing Career.
