Thousands of people set out to make money on the Internet every week, and yet thousands fail.  In this simple guide I plan to show you how to become a freelance writer on the Internet, and earn enough of an income doing it.

The first thing you need to consider is how to spread your work over several different areas to give you a constant income, even if one source of work dries up.  Below I will show you how to write freelance on the Internet and still make a good income while doing so!

Create your own websites.  They can be about anything you want, but update each one at least once a day. Place adverts all over the site, I suggest using Google Adsense, who are a safe and reliable advertising choice.

Once you have your own websites up and running keep checking out forums such as Digital Point of Digital Sale Forum.  Sites like these can have a huge variety of work available, and they often pay more than the sites which I will go in to next!  You can also advertise your services on these websites, so people can find you, and offer you freelance writing jobs!

You can also join sites such as E-Lance, these let you bid on jobs, don’t be discouraged by huge numbers of low bids. The buyers will undoubtedly be looking at quality as well as price.  If you are going to sell your services on these sites, remember to spend a lot of time writing up your sales copy for your bids.

The final area you should look in to is the set fee freelance writing job websites.  Textbroker is probably one of the easiest sites to use in this catagory, the pay is very low, but there is a lot of work available.

Now that you have signed up to these services and set up your own websites I will show you how to make money freelance writing.  First off you have to remember two key aspects of being a freelance writer that will ensure your success.  These are Quality and Quantity.  You have to get to the stage where you can produce both of these on a daily basis.

Quality is key.  The only way you can make money as a freelance writer is to provide a higher quality service than the thousands of Indian freelance writers.

Quantity is also important.  In your own websites you need to keep the content up to keep visitors coming in.  On other websites you need to keep up the quantity to get your name well known, and your income coming in!

My final tip on how to become a freelance writer is, DON’T GIVE UP HOPE!

Thousands of people trying to take up the freelance career path fail each day, not because of their skill, but because they give in.  It takes time to become noticed, but if you can write well, you will succeed!
