Finding Web Writing Jobs
If you’ve decided that working as a Wahm writer is the best work at home job
opportunity for you, then you’ll need to figure out how to get writing
assignments. Fortunately, when you work as a web writer there is no shortage
of job opportunities. It all depends on where you look and how much research
you are willing to do.
Web writing can break down into several different categories. Before you
begin looking for work, you’ll have to decide whether or not you want to get
credit for your writing. If you insist on byline, you may have difficulty
finding a lot of paying jobs. Byline jobs are out there if you look. However,
the most money to be made is from working as a web ghostwriter.
Many Wahms find success with ghostwriting. When you work as a freelance
ghostwriter you provide writing services for clients who will then use the
work as their own. Ghostwriting as a wahm is a lucrative opportunity,
especially when you focus on web writing. For the most part, the Internet is
a text and image based platform. Companies and individuals who run websites
constantly need text to make their websites attractive to visitors. Since
writing is something that a lot of people would rather not do, this leaves
plenty of opportunities for people who love to write.
Web writing Wahms need only an Internet connection, e-mail address and word
processing program to get started. Your own website is not necessary, but it
adds a touch of professionalism to your writing business. However, when you
are first starting out you can get plenty of work without having a website.
There are several different categories of web writing. When you see the term
“content writing” you will normally be providing text for an existing or new
website. Your writing will have to be engaging and clear for website
visitors. Article writers concentrate on providing articles for websites,
newsletters and blogs. Generally, articles for the web are between 400 and
800 words each. Any more than that is difficult for readers to sit through
while looking at a computer screen. Copywriters are challenged with putting
readers in the mood to buy. They write copy for Internet sales letters and
marketing sites. Ebook ghostwriters provide clients with full-length books on
a variety of topics.
Wahms who write need to be professional in their online presence. This means
spell-checking all writing, including e-mails to clients. It is also a good
idea to get an e-mail address that is specifically used for your writing. A
personal e-mail address with a goofy handle will make you appear
unprofessional. Your first and last name or a combination thereof is a good
choice for your web writing e-mail address.
Writing for the Internet has a few differences from writing essays in school
or writing for print magazines. Readers online have short attention spans,
and you’ll need to keep your sentences short and your paragraphs clear.
The other difference is the use of “keywords” in certain writing assignments.
Keywords are words that have been selected by your client to be used in the
article. These words have been selected because they are Internet search
terms and your client wants their website to show up for those search terms.
Keyword articles will require you to use the word or phrase a certain number
of times in the article. Sometimes it can be difficult to use the words
without making it sound forced. Experienced web writers have developed ways
to make the keywords flow naturally into their articles.
Once you’ve gotten a few web writing assignments under your belt, you can
decide what type of web writing suits you best. You can find work on writing
message boards, freelance writing job sites and classified ad sites like
craigslist. Whenever you apply for a job, make sure to include your contact
information and a few well-selected writing samples.
