Now we're going to talk about writing online and I'm going to tell you how you can make hundreds of dollars writing online. How you can find businesses we're going to go into what makes a good copywriter or a good writer. Whatever you call yourself and at the end of this article, We're also going to talk about the platforms where you can apply your skills.
Writing
Where you can list yourself as writing in English and make money. Simply before we go into the topic I want to tell you my personal story. I come from a nation where pay is a lot lower than that contrasted with the US and when I attempted to develop my business globally. I realized that I won't be able to write all the texts in English.
But it was hard for me to find a good writer. They both communicated in Russian charged Russian cash and knew great English. So wouldn't be humiliated before my global clients at some stage. I chose to proceed to attempt to track down a local speaker however it just so happens, local speakers charge a ton.
There was a guy who I told you to know I need to create this funnel of emails. I want you to write a couple of emails maybe like 100, 200 words like really small emails and he was like one email would cost 250 like 100 words. I couldn't afford that so I wrote all the emails myself but you should know that great writer.
Who are native speakers charge a lot of money and it's really hard to find them with this article. I want to inspire you to start writing in English because I don't necessarily want everyone to read this article to become a writer in English and it is a hard task to do it is hard to write in English as a non-native speaker.
Tips
Now I'm going to share some of the tips that I use to write better in English.
1. Make an outline of things that you want to say
First of all, it's really important to have an outline of things that you want it to say. So before I write this huge text I have my email on substance. I would sit down and create an outline. I need to say the problem "how to make a hundred thousand dollars a year by writing online"
I need to say "three or four tips and every tip would be a paragraph" and I say those tips and in the end. I need to share some valuable tips on where to find a business or a person who might give you a few assignments. So this is an outline it helps with a smoother text.
2. Know your target audience
You should speak their language and ideally, you understand the problem. I know it's not always the case as a YouTuber as well but for example, when I'm writing this article and this tip applies to every piece of content that you create online. So I know that my target audience is people who are struggling to make money online.
Possibly need to make it their part-time job and a lot of you fellows are non-native speakers. So with this article, I want to have a solution to a problem.
- How do I earn money if I know English
- I want to provide very practical tips
So I want to speak your language I understand who my target audience is and I target their problems because if we compare two different titles like how I use my English to write online.
Would you read this article I don't know how relatable it would be to you but if I write the article with a title that I made that? I trust grabbed your eye since I was zeroing in on your concern and I was communicating in your language since I trust I know my main interest group.
3. This will help you to start your business
If you choose to either make a business out of your composition or to begin something else altogether, it is extremely difficult to begin the hardest thing is to begin. The online business academy offers simply easy to follow completely free courses to help you find a business idea, create a business plan, build a website, and more.
They will provide you with all information to get started as an online business all the classes are received by industry experts,
- Ryan Foland
- Jason Falls
- Kim Garst
These courses also come with practical exciting projects and prizes. If you're ready to start a freelance career or a small business they're there for your academy.cat.online.
4. Understand what you're writing about
The next tip and I kind of mentioned it before but I know it's kind of hard to understand what you're writing about because sometimes when you take a lot of errands and someone would get some information about crypto. Someone else would get some information about powerhouses. Another person would be like writing about newer biology.
Ideally, you would specify the topics that you're super passionate about because yes you would be targeting a smaller chunk of customers but you would provide a lot more value for them. Then ideally I would sit down with myself if I were you and I would tell myself. Okay,
- I'm super passionate about creating videos
- I'm super passionate about the English language
- I'm super passionate about traveling
So these would be the customers I'm gonna be targeting offering my services to write a copy or to write a text.
5. Keep it simple
Keep it simple I know sometimes you want to make your text look amazing and use all of the advanced words but this is a great tip if you're writing an academic essay or you're trying to impress your professor or you're taking TOEFL because TOEFL annihilates those exams. They want to check your advanced English when you're writing a text for a person native speaker or someone just interested in the topic.
You don't have to have sentences that are five lines ten lines long you don't have to overcomplicate your language because the main purpose of creating a text is to deliver thought and if you overcomplicate it. It might be too hard to deliver a thought.
6. Don't overuse the verb "To Be"
Let's look at two sentences "He is handsome he is an engineer devoted to his work" doesn't the sentence sound as if it was written by a child or a robot let's look at another one "The handsome engineer devotes himself to his work" You see in the second sentence we just replace the verb to avoid it.
If you can keep it positive give people some hope because this is what keeps people going compared to two instances.
7. Keep it positive
I know it's true it doesn't mean that every video you watch you apply everything and you necessarily become a person that is talked about in this article but I can just tell you can get up to this amount of money by writing online because you can if you need to. So keep it positive.
8. Start with the main idea
Assuming you check out a few and I generally prefer to take a gander at Instagram in light of the fact that Instagram is one of the stages where individuals compose a short duplicate and you just see the first line of that copy and it has to be captivating. So start with the main idea the guy made five hundred thousand dollars by producing videos on youtube or I haven't eaten sugar for 30 days.
This is what happened like starting with the main idea captivates the attention because if you go like graham started making videos in 2014. He has been making videos on youtube every single day and then you kind of come to the point. How enough money he makes and this is the main idea start with it.
9. Learn how to organize a paragraph
There is a rule that every paragraph every thought should be kind of the same in terms of the number of words that you're using but also learn how to structure it. You start with a thought then you have some supportive ideas and then you finish with a conclusion and this applies to both texts that you're going to write for people.
Who is going to hire you to write text for them and this applies to exams that you're going to take and all the essays that you're going to write for universities?
10. Keep It Short
The next step would be a little controversial to learn how to write in English in general. Then you need to know that if you're writing an essay if you're taking an exam in English people who are going to check your text they're going to look for connecting words,
- However
- In order to
- First of all
- Second of all
- Moreover
- Nowadays
But if you're writing a copy to convince someone to buy something. If you're writing an email it's better to keep it shorter. So don't say to say to the short it is the better it is but this rule doesn't apply to essays because again there are different things that people are looking at.
11. Don't use "very" and "really"
So many times very tasty, delicious, very beautiful, stunning just by replacing a very plus adjective with a stronger adjective you make your text more convincing and you make it more beautiful. So get rid of very and really yes you can use them but try to avoid them and replace them with something else.
12. Homework
How about a small homework write a two-sentence text like a very short text Who's your favorite Youtuber? and why? This way you're gonna practice your writing remember all the tips that we talked about like avoiding the word to be avoiding "very" avoiding "really" and this way I would also go through comments.
13. Use Data
This tip's one of my favorites I love to use numbers I love to use some stats and people like stats and people like numbers. If they're not too many and that numbers in titles attract viewers' attention and people are more likely to click on it. This is where I specialize but those tips refer to every single piece of content you produce online.
So always use numbers if you can again when we're talking about how much money someone can make then put a number there. If we're talking about phrases that you're gonna learn after reading this text then put the number of phrases that you're giving like a hundred most useful phrases in English.
5 quick tips to increase your written English numbers and data are super important. If you can share something like sixty percent of people who took this class became advanced English in three years. Whatever then use that data.
14. Imitate
This applies again to everything subscribe for a couple of people who write texts ideally sub-stack. Substack is one of my favorite apps out there I have an email on the substance. Some so many people write on substack and there are just ordinary people and you find the topic that you're most interested in you.
Follow those people or maybe you find someone who writes in a way that you like and you learn from them. You read and read and then the more you read the better you become at writing copy some words copy some expressions copy the way people write.
15. Doesn't depend on autocorrect
Ai(artificial intelligence) is great but I still think we're not there this is why I use fluent. express. Whenever I write a text online because texts are corrected by native speakers. Autocorrect is great when you misspell the word but it's not great when you're not an English native speaker and you just you kind of speak in a weird way like autocorrect would not understand it.
So if you are worried about the quality then use someone who's a native speaker or if you can't invest in that then do something else write a text do something else grab a cup of tea watching a movie or whatever and then go back to the text and re-read it and prove yourself, by the way, reading your text aloud also really helps it's just the different way you're reading the text and it will be easier for you to spot your mistakes.
16. Read the text from the ending to the beginning
When I was planning for my GMAT is to read the text from the ending to the beginning. So you start with the last sentence and then you go on top to the first sentence again in this way you're assessing the text differently and your mistakes would be more visible to you.
17. Practice Makes Perfect
The more you write the better you become and done is better than perfect don't work on your text too much publish it go ahead make mistakes 20 times but your 21st attempt would be a lot better. So always do instead of hiding and trying to be perfect.
Platforms where you can find a job
Now as promised I'm gonna share some platforms that I use to find copywriters, writers, and researchers and I just wanted to be clear here there are three different types of text that you can write. So,
Copywriter is someone who doesn't I think. So this is my personal opinion it doesn't dig deep into the topic for example if you need a text for your website just for SEO or you just lack a text-based on a video this could be a copywriter. So someone who already has some information and doesn't need to go deep.
Writer is someone who doesn't have this information and a writer would be someone who would write a marketing email for me and the task that I would give him. Would be like I want to have a marketing email talking about the top 10 productivity tips for YouTubers can you make it can you write it this is a writer. So he's going to do his research himself and he's going to write that email.
Researcher is someone who would provide information for me and I would make a text. This is very similar I would tell them like. Okay, I want to make a video about the top 50 common phrases in English can you please create a text create a script for me and I don't care if it's a beautifully written script because I only care about the information. And I would be looking at the quality of those phrases that the researcher found for me.
So three different categories and you need to be honest with yourself about which category you are best in and then you go to Upwork.
Upwork is my favorite this is what I use all the time uses it all the time and you list yourself. Ideally, you fulfill some responsibilities for free to get reviews but there are hundreds of videos on youtube on how to work on Upwork.
Fiverr I don't use it as much but I think they tend to have cheaper labor because Fiverr originally started as five bucks per task but check them out as well. There is a specific platform for writers.
The prices vary from three dollars to two hundred dollars check it out as well.
I love it because well you have to be a top writer but also you can each sell a text. So as a purchaser, I can go to that stage and search for texts about English search for text about youtube and I can really get them from other writers or you can also see for projects and fulfill them. So it's both for a text that is already there written and for new text. As well but you have to be a top writer.
There are other freelance platforms like freelancer, craigslist all the platforms that you can think of but you must stick to one platform. That this is just my opinion because you can work on reviews you can work on your rating and then this way you're gonna be ranking higher up and also be proactive stretch out to people do things cheaper than the market.
Write yourself have an Instagram have a writing blog have a substack make yourself stand out. This is the way it works but again you have to be passionate about what you're doing you have to be passionate about writing. It's just another way to inspire you to do things in English.
