By on March 27th, 2013

The post below was originally published on my small business blog after a friend asked me some basic questions about how he could begin to make money blogging. I’ve since shared it here as a way to help freelance writers build an additional revenue stream (originally on October 16, 2008). And I’ve now updated it for All Freelance Writing readers with even more blog revenue streams you can choose from. – Blogging has been a hot business concept for quite a few years now, but many people blogging for income are still baffled about how to make serious money. “Is it …

But sometimes writers lack confidence. They worry that clients won’t think they’re worth what they want to charge. Not true (unless you’re insane and you think you’re going to start earning a 7 figure income right off the bat). It’s time to forget about those insecurities, those cheap writing ads you see everywhere, and that crazy notion that earning more money freelance writing …

Chris Bibey on Offering Online Courses

By on March 24th, 2009

You know how I personally feel about broadening horizons as freelance writers–that you need to diversify to really find the best overall business practices for yourself. There are many ways you can diversify your work and income streams. We’ve talked about releasing e-books. We’ve talked about launching blogs. Another option is to offer online courses. Since that is something I’ve never pursued personally, I asked Chris Bibey of ChrisBlogging to come by and share his thoughts on the matter. Chris runs a successful freelance writing course, and here he shares his experiences, how he got started, why he enjoys it, …

The Quick Flip Roster

By on December 22nd, 2008

I mentioned recently that I would be quick-flipping several websites to show you how to do that as an additional income stream when client work is slow (or perhaps just because you enjoy it). I also previously mentioned that I wasn’t going to post the domains up front, but I changed my mind. You can find the sites through the links below. As of now here’s what I’ve done: I registered 11 .info domains that were keyword-rich and based on keyword phrases with decent search volume and advertiser competition. I manually installed the latest WordPress version on each domain. I …

E-Books and Reports – An Additional Income Stream for Freelance Writers

By on October 27th, 2008

We’ve been talking lately about additional revenue streams / income sources for freelance writers (beyond client projects). So far we’ve talked about making money through blogging and flipping websites. Today we’re going to talk about earning extra income by writing e-books and reports. I’m not going to go into the “how to” of writing e-books in this post. If you decide that e-books or reports are a good residual income stream option for you, be sure to check out the more comprehensive collection of posts from our previous 14 Day E-book Writing Challenge. There are two main ways e-books and …

Alternative and Residual Income Streams for Freelance Writers

By on October 14th, 2008

Residual income streams – you know I love ‘em. I yap about them often enough. Today I want your help to put together a big list of potential revenue streams for freelance writers (if they offer recurring / residual income, all the better, but it’s not necessary). I’d like to get a list going, after which I’ll write more specific posts on each income stream for freelance writers (or ask guests to write posts if they suggested something I’m not personally experienced with). The point is to get folks thinking now about things they should add to their freelance writing …
