Writing mini sites: using your writing skills to make money
Many writers are making the switch to Web writing. One of the benefits of writing for the Web is that you can use your skills to make money — you can create websites and monetize them in various ways.
I’ve got several hundred sites and I know writers who have 1000 sites. This perhaps seems incredible. If you’re a new writer, or you’re not used to Web writing, you’re thinking “why would anybody want that many sites”?

Setting up your first website
In Sell Your Writing Online NOW (SYWON) you discover how to set up websites and monetize them quickly. As a writer, you’ve got endless opportunities for making money online, once you know how to set up websites.
I’m often asked by subscribers: “What kind of site should I set up first?”
I always advise them to set up their “name” site first. Your name site is the site which has your own name as the domain. For example, my name site is angelabooth.com.
Once you’ve set up your name site, you can set up other sites to make money.
Many of my sites, especially many writing-niche sites (like this site), tend to have lots of content. I also have lots of review sites, in many niches.
Here’s what “Choosing A Topic For A Website” says about review sites:
Review Sites – Review sites are great because all you have to do is review different products and/or services. You can review anything and still make money. You could review cell phones, credit cards, insurance companies, digital cameras, baby products, home and/or garden products, office supplies, books, movies, bedding, clothes, food, or virtually anything else that someone would have an opinion on.
Review sites have many benefits:
* They’re small — usually from three to six pages;
* Because they’re small, they’re fast to set up (think minutes, rather than days)
* They can be highly profitable.
So, get started — set up your first site, and then set up another one. Every site you create is another way for you to boost your income. Enjoy the process: I love creating sites, and once you get into the swing of it, you will too.
Make Money Writing: How to Double Your Income This Year
Your writing business can be more profitable that you imagine. Want to double your income from your writing this year? It’s more than possible for you, if you set that as your goal. In fact, just by setting the goal, you’ve gone a long way toward achieving it.
Here’s what you need: the desire to achieve your goal, backed up determination, then you need a daily FOCUS on that goal. If you have these three attributes, not only will you double your income, but you’ll be amazed at how quickly it happens.
There’s no limit to your income from your writing on the Web. Some bloggers are making $30,000 a month from their businesses — if it’s possible for them, it’s possible for you, too.
Dissolve Your Disabling Beliefs by Writing Them Down
To clear the way for your accomplishment, take a few minutes to dissolve any disabling beliefs which may be standing in your way. The challenge with deep-rooted beliefs is that they become unconscious. They affect our behavior because we don’t know we hold them.
Open a new computer file, or get a notepad and pen. Set a timer (a kitchen timer will do) for five minutes. Complete this sentence: “I can’t double my writing income this year because____________”
Write, without pausing or thinking, until you hear the timer.
Excellent. Now you’ve made your disabling beliefs conscious. You know what they are, and because they’re conscious, you can refute them, so that they can no longer affect your behavior. Rip up the paper, or delete the computer file.
Think About Your Goal Morning and Evening
Did you set any New Year’s resolutions this year? If you did nothing other than set a resolution, it faded from your mind by the end of January. Here’s how to prevent that happening with your new goal.
Every morning, before you get out of bed, think about what doubling your income would do for you and the people you love. Do the same thing before you fall asleep each night.
Just think about having achieved your goal in a relaxed manner. This builds your desire. The more you day dream about your achievement, the more you’ll build you determination, and that determination will develop into a complete focus on your goal.
You’ll have a new outlook on life, and because you’re thinking and behaving appropriately, you’ll have the outcome you want.
You can make money writing, and can achieve any income goal you care to set. Discover how to make money writing with Sell Your Writing Online NOW (SYWON) — you get all the tools you need for an outstanding writing career.
Ebooks: Provide solutions, and sell more
Selling ebooks is a popular way of making money online, because many people go online in order to find solutions to their problems.
When you provide your Web site visitors solutions with your ebooks, you’ll sell more. But how do you know what solutions to provide?
You start by thinking about problems. There are an endless number of problems people have – they’re overweight, they’re over their credit card limit, they want a job or a better job, and on and on.
Your problem-solving ebooks can provide solutions in an endless variety of areas. Often, ideas for ebooks will come from your own experiences.
Write and sell ebooks based on your own experiences
For example, let’s say that you’re thinking about buying a digital camera so you can take photos at a relative’s wedding. A good digital camera is expensive, and it occurs to you that people who buy digital cameras may be looking for solutions to making money with their camera.
So you research whether “making money with your digital camera” is a real problem people have. This would fit under the general category of “make money from home”. Many people do have the problem of not having enough money, so that ebook has potential.
Think solutions, not ebook niches (topics)
In Internet marketing, “niches” has become a popular term. You can easily waste time looking for fresh niches in which you can write and sell ebooks. However, unless your ebooks solve problems, they won’t sell.
Where to find problems people have
There are many places you can find out what problems people have for which they’ll buy an ebook solution.
Try:
* Bookstores – the Health and Self Help sections are crammed with books which provide solutions to problems;
* Magazines – many magazines provide solutions to their readers’ problems. Don’t forget to scan the advertisements. Millions are spent on researching people’s needs for products and services;
* Asking your friends and relatives about their problems.
When you start to think about the solutions you can provide people, you’ll sell more ebooks. Start today. Everyone has problems – you can provide solutions with your ebooks.
Selling writing products: sell Squidoo lenses
In Sell Your Writing Online NOW (SYWON), you discover not only how and what to write, but how to sell what you write too.
In early lessons, you learn how to build Squidoo lenses, and as with everything else you learn in SYWON, you can put your new skill to work to make money.
Why not create some “for sale” lenses, as others do?
Create lenses and sell them
I’ve been paying more attention to my Squidoo lenses lately because they’re a great source of backlinks and therefore traffic to my other Web sites and blogs.
I don’t sell lenses, but if I were looking for an additional income stream, I certainly would do. A lens with six or seven modules takes me around half an hour to create, and since lenses sell anywhere from $40 to $200, it’s worth doing.
Enter “buy Squidoo lens” into Google, and you’ll find others who are crafting and selling lenses, which shows that there’s a demand. Many people would like to use Squidoo and fit lenses into their overall marketing, but they don’t want to take the time to build lenses from scratch. This is where you come in.
Transfer a Squidoo lens
Once you’ve sold the lens, you click a button, as above, and transfer the lens to the new owner. Very easy and simple.
Make money with Squidoo: your free online goldmine
In the early lessons of Sell Your Writing Online NOW (SYWON) Web writing training I show you how to get a Web site online for free using Squidoo.
Squidoo can make lot of money for you, and it’s a lot of fun too. Here’s SYWON’s lens on Squidoo.
I suggest that you make using this free application part of your business plan, and spend a little time creating lenses every day.
Popular blogger PotPieGirl writes:
Through process and elimination, I learned how to generate real live income from those free pages at Squidoo. I couldn’t believe it! I kept duplicating my process, trying new things and removing ineffective things until it became a simple, daily action plan that I did every day.
After a bit of time, all the parts came together into a whole and money started to come in consistently. It felt like a miracle! And it was all because of this simple little action plan I put together. I was then able to pay the bills AND fund my online business so I could create my own niche sites and have things like website hosting and an auto-responder.
Best part of all – I was no longer overwhelmed and frustrated… and THAT is PRICELESS!
So whether you’re a Sell Your Writing Online NOW (SYWON) subscriber or not, do use Squidoo to generate income. Others are doing it, and so can you.
