Seven Online Writing Jobs
By Peter Mangini
Maybe you're like so many, ready to retire but can't afford to stop working just yet.
Why not focus on changing your career instead and joining the increasing number of retired
and semi-retired people who are earning their income or the majority of it online.
There are so many awesome and talented seniors that can be productive and contribute
from the comforts of their home, even starting businesses and selling products on Amazon, eBay,
and taking advantage of many other internet opportunities. Many have been finding the answer
to their situations by pulling themselves out from the 9-5 rat race, and the daily traffic
grind, to set up at home with all of the conveniences and comforts. These wise ones are looking
for an alternative way to earn a living without the rigors of daily grooming, the workplace
settings, health concerns, car repairs and more. Well, rest assured that there are many online
opportunities that are waiting just for you.
Below is a list of seven opportunities for those that enjoy writing:
1. Content Writing
There are so many website businesses on the internet and in order for them to get and
maintain their search engine rankings, they need to post quality articles, short and long,
on a daily or weekly regular basis. Many of these site owners hire writers that can deliver
quality articles relevant to their businesses, and there are millions of these site owners.
Do you know about search engine optimization to target specific viewers?
You can attract lots of traffic to your site but if they're looking for Bald Eagles or
The Eagles band and your website is on the Philadelphia Eagles, you won't be getting the desired
results. Many will come to see what the site is about and then immediately click away to find
what they're really looking for. There is a way that you can modify your web pages and posts
to fit a certain like-minded group of individuals so that a percentage of the approximate 2+
billion internet users land on the right site that has the answers to their search entry.
2. TextBroker
The textbroker author produces unique quality content that captures the reader's attention
and increases your search engine ranking. textbroker
has many writing assignments and you can choose something that you can research and write about.
They will also hire someone without prior experience and your article quality will determine
your pay rate. They have a lot of writing jobs to choose from so it's possible for you to work
as much or as little as desired.
3. ContentJack.com
Blog mutt offers high-quality white
label blog content for marketing agencies and businesses within the US and in 15 other nations
globally. They hire freelance writers to produce quality original content for their customer's
websites. Their clients are usually blog owners or web businesses that need to produce content
weekly or even daily and simply don't have the time to produce it themselves. Your pay will
depend on how many produced and accepted posts that you can write, and good writing will always
earn you more money. Blogmutt pays out every week via PayPal and there is no minimum payout requirement.
5. Upwork
A great place to find new clients and to run and grow your own freelance business. You
can run your own business and choose your own clients and projects. Fill out a profile and
Upwork will highlight ideal jobs for you. You can also research projects and respond to client
invitations. With upwork you have the
freedom and flexibility to control when, where and how you work. Each project includes its own
workspace which is shared by you and your client. This enables you to send and receive files,
share feedback in real-time( text, chat or video ), and you can also use their mobile app.
This is also great for someone making a career change at 50.
There are many others, however, choose wisely and compare your options and get the most
that you can for your skills, time, and effort. There is also a number of editing jobs online
if that's what you prefer to do. Making a career change at 50 is so much easier with all of
the available online opportunities.
