How to Write Articles for Your Clients

Article writing is like any other job. You need to focus on what you write and provide the best possible output for your client’s satisfaction. Clients are more than willing to provide writers extra work as long as there is commitment to the work. What I have here are few tips on how to make the best out of writing.

Never Provide a Plagiarized Article

Basic rule is. You are paid to write fresh content for someone and not copy someone’s work. Providing plagiarized work to your client will ruin your reputation and possibly end up your career as a writer. You do not want to pay someone who does not provide you with what you need, right?

Research about the Topic

The only way to produce a good article is by providing your clients with a well researched article. This is not hard to do since the Internet itself is home to millions of available resources.

Do What Your Clients Require

The purpose why you write is because you are told to do so by your client. And so, it is just necessary to follow their orders. Stuff the content with the keywords provided by your client and determine the density required for the keywords. Most likely articles with 1%-3% keyword density are appropriate.

Interact with Your Client

To best follow what your clients need, it is very important to have a good communication. Do not hesitate to ask questions to your clients to clarify things. It is better to do measures ahead of time that do a rewrite in the end.

Lastly, Thank Your Client for the Work

A simple “Thank You” can mean a lot. Express your appreciation to your client for entrusting his/her needs. There are thousands of interested writers out there, but you are chosen by your client for the work. It is just right to give a simple appreciation for it.

Enjoy your work! Happy Earnings!

How to Start an Article Writing Gig

Article writing is similar to anything that we do in order to earn money. You need to exert effort and prepare things needed before starting. As Eastern writers, there is so much to prepare to become competitive with writers all over the world. There are a lot of Asian writers joining thousands of online earners and most of us are enjoying it.

To start an article writing gig, one must be knowledgeable in English and must know the basic rules in English writing. When I started my writing gig, I struggled from the start but gradually I was able to learn through experience and study. For Asian writers where English is not our first language, we may encounter some issues in writing articles. Through constant study and reading one will be able to learn the basics to the advance levels in writing.

Writing is fun and challenging. You can encounter difficult topics that need special attention and topics that will interest you most. Learning, earning, and enjoying are three things I love in writing. I get to know more about things through it and earn a living out of it. It’s like being back in college.

Once confident that you will be able to write good articles, the first way that will definitely give you attention is by providing free articles to people whom you may consider as your future clients. They will judge your type of writing and if they will be interested then consider yourself a new client. This is what others do to start a writing career.

Why Should I Work Online?

The process of outsourcing article needs is commonly practiced today. It is the most practical and economical way of achieving marketing strategies through articles. Outsourcing articles is economical in the sense that writers are not part of any other contract with the company or individual hosting the project except for the agreed completion and payment of the articles. But not all the way it is effective. Everything can turn around if projects are outsourced to the wrong people.

Freelancing jobs have mushroomed and almost everybody is aware of the promises of good finances brought by doing work off regular office hours. Everyone wants to take his/her share of the ease of earning while working online. Yes, this is good however as a service provider one must also consider the quality of work delivered. There may be times when things do not turn the way as expected, but as a service provider you must do your part.

Commitment to the work and determination will bear good fruits. The opposite will definitely not get anything good unless straighten out. If one is serious about earning online then there must be time allocated for job orders to be completed and not just give any words of completing a task, but then leaving clients behind.

There have been many times when working online seems to be hard for me. But because of my interest in doing online work so I manage to overcome obstacles and continue working for my clients. Working online is simple when one is determined for it.

Putting Your Heart on Your Work

As a writer, there is a need for me to try the work of others and determine how my work is doing against theirs. There was a time when I tried outsourcing a work for my own blog to a fellow writer, but was very dismayed with the product I received. That content for my blog was informational however there is no quality too it that really makes me felt sad and concluded that the heart of the writer was not on the work, but on the payment of the article.

I paid what was agreed to protect my integrity, but the product I received was seriously unimaginable and unacceptable that I had to rewrite it in order to come up with a more presentable article. The payment I made was a bit wasted on my end, but somehow it did help me figure out why writers do not achieve what they aim for. In writing, money is just secondary.

As a writer, what matters most to me is the article I deliver to my clients. Some clients may offer their article needs for prices lower than normal rates, but still you must not change the quality of the product you present. Money is not an issue but the work is. My motto is, “Work with your heart and soul for God”. This phrase keeps me inspired in writing for my clients. And it is a fulfillment for me seeing my writings published and visible to millions of people all over the world.

In everything that we do especially if that is our source of living then we must set our hearts to it and make sure to do the best in everything. Work done well is rewarded. It may not be financially, but through the satisfaction you feel after seeing how great your work is.

How to Properly Post Your Service

It’s been quite a while since I started offering my services online and I have been receiving good results from it. One factor I consider important when it comes to offering your services is the way you post it. This is your way to market what you offer and that should hit the right audience the first time they see your post. Let me share to you some techniques I was able to discover as I go along with my endeavor.

To properly post your service, make sure to include an accurate email account. This is very important since this will lead your customers to you. DO NOT USE AN EMAIL ACCOUNT associated with your payment processors. Why? Spamming is the very main reason why you should avoid it. You do not want to divulge that email account to the public or else you will be receiving spam email with is a short spam of time.

Another attraction to your post will be your title. Not the title of your post, but your title as an individual. When I say your title as an individual, I am not referring to your profession. Instead, show the public who you are. Words such as “Experienced” or “Expert” are always apple to the eyes of your client. Most clients are likely to hire people with these capabilities and expertise.

Do not include the word “cheap” in your post. If you are referring to the rate of your service, use the word “affordable” or words that convey similar meaning. This sounds better than the other. For some clients, the word “cheap” can some times reflect the quality of the work. So if you say “cheap service” then it could mean that your work will result to a poor quality or your fee is cheap.

Lead your customers to a relevant portfolio. This is your main dish. Impress your clients by showing them the quality of work you can produce and give them expectations of what they can get if they hire you. Clients will always ask for your portfolio to judge your output and determine if your work is worth the price you want.

Hope these things help and good luck everyone.

My Boss…. One of My Best Friends

Finding work online can some times be difficult. Looking for the right client, earning their trust, and make them believe that you can do the job is the most difficult part of it. I was just lucky to find someone who became interested with my work and continuously provide me with work.

I consider him my boss, though we do not have any contrast and that’s how working online works. I also consider him as one of my very best friends not because of the money that he pays me for my work, but for the patience and guidance he showed me as I gradually build my ladder with my chosen career.

Not everyone is like him. Not all the time you meet someone who can pay much attention to your mistakes and willing to reshape you. That is reality. This does not normally happen online, but it did happen to me and made me very thankful for him. With all the troubles and worries I have caused my boss because of delayed turnaround of works, he is still considering my service for him.

Do you know how to earn someone’s trust even if you haven’t met him/her? The answer is simple. Honesty! Be honest in everything that you do and stay committed with you words. That will develop true friendship and will help you promote any career of your choice.

Have to delay my post about “right posting for your services”. I’ll be writing about it on my next blog.

I Earned $250 Last October

October is truly a special month for me. First, I’m a Libran which means that I am very lucky. Second, I earned $250 for the whole month while working few hours online. Yes! I change my working habit. Instead of working day and night like what I did last September where I earned more than $350, I managed to work at most 6 hours a day last October. Quite a small amount, but I am enjoying it since living with that amount in my place is a decent living.

I can’t believe that I was going to earn $250 while taking most of my time having pleasure and being with my family. For the month, I went to three beaches, spent my birth with my family, and did lots of fun and exciting adventures almost every other day.

I was thinking that was going to earn less than that since I changed my working hours. The best part was my regular clients continued sending me projects that I worked during my free hours (not attending to my son’s needs).

This month, I am going to aim for a higher amount and will change a little bit of my working hours. Thanks to God I made it this far.

On my next blog, I am going to share on how to effectively post your services.

Here’s a tip, when looking for companies that pay good with their advertisements, visit other blogs and check the advertisements that they have. You will soon have a picture of what to place on your blog. Another way of earning through blogging is the “Paid Blogging”. Site such as PayPerPost (PPP) pays its members for every “approved blog” posted on the member’s site.

PTC sites are interesting however the pay may fall under $0.01 to $0.012 per 30 seconds visit on a member advertisement. NeoBux.com is a trusted PTC that pay good to its members. You can register to more PTC sites and start navigating there ads and they’ll pay you.

Work at Home – What You Need Before Starting

Truly, there are plenty of opportunities for anybody interested to make money online. Before setting a foot to the arena, it is very important to prepare all the things that you might need for your chosen career. I have compiled a list that I am using right now as I do my living online.

Payment Processors

This is the most important element that you will need when working online. You receive and send payments through these services. Two of the most popular payment processors are PayPal and AlertPay. Most online services are paid through these processors. Read carefully the Terms of Service for each site before signing up. I have been using PayPal (Premier) from the start until now.

Sign up for PayPal and start accepting credit card payments instantly.

Local Bank Account

The gathered funds on your payment processors will not stay there forever. You need the money so you have to withdraw it. To do this, you need to have an account with your local bank recognized by both processors mentioned above. The funds coming from your processors will be linked to your local bank account for fund transfers.


Valid Email Address

You will need a valid email address for you to communicate with your clients. Create an email account with Google or Yahoo as these are two of the most widely used free email providers.

Instant Messaging System

Most clients require fast and reliable communication. GTalk from Google and Yahoo Messenger from Yahoo can both handle the task for you. Download and install any of these instant messaging applications. If possible use both IM’s to be flexible with your future clients.

Dedication and Sense of Accomplishment

Lastly, aside from all those elements that you will need for conducting online business, it is strongly recommended to have dedication and sense of accomplishment in everything that you do online. Commitment to a project will carry you to earning decent amount of cash over the Internet.

On my next blog, I will be posting some simple ways on how to start earning online. Just a reminder, all these are based upon my experiences.

Registration is free and update of earnings is easy. This is the reason why people wanting extra earning, but have busy schedules prefer to become members of these sites.

I have personally joined one of these sites and find it interesting. After browsing the Internet for work, I find time to check my account and start clicking on member advertisements. Just about after 30 seconds of opening the ads your account will instantly be updated with the credit for the click.

The add flavor to it, you can refer you friends to become members of these sites. Having a referral entitles you to earn as they earn. Every time your referral clicks an advertisement you will get incentives for it. Not bad. Take for example having 20 referrals and each will have 10 clicks a day. That’s $2 dollars for you without doing the hard work.

Articles for Cash


Do you ever wonder how to make money out of your skills? There have been so many achievers on different arenas and anyone has a chance to join them. First of all, what you need is hone your skills. Skill is not shared and what you have is only for you. Others may be able to do similar things, but you have your own unique way of doing it. What I want to emphasize is that with you writing or web designing skills you can earn dollars good enough for a decent living.

Article writing has been my job since quitting my work as a call center representative. I was earning good that time, enough for me to have an average extravagant lifestyle, but I quit for personal reasons. I decided to write articles and offer my services to some folks which made me some cash for a decent living. Now I am sharing this to all to give a spark of inspiration that skills if honed is money.

There are several ways to earn money using your skills. If you are good in web designing, then offer your service to those who are in need. There are plenty of companies outsourcing their works to foreign lands with talented individuals. They pay well and I tell you they pay appropriately. If you do well with their projects you’ll receive the right pay and some even give bonuses. Not bad for someone doing web designing job to occupy those idle hours.
