How to Earn $100 a Day Writing Online

With a little pre planning and some hard work, you can earn $100 a day writing online. For some it happens quicker than others, but bottom line, it will happen as long as you plant the right online writing seeds, cultivate it and continue to water the seeds. Here’s how to work towards earning $100 a day writing online:

• Create a $100 a day game plan. You will never earn $100 a day writing online if you bounce from website to website writing a few articles here or there. You have to spend a little time coming up with a game plan. The best game plan, especially in the beginning, is to look for up-front pay sites such as Demand Studios or Associated Content and supplement the up front pay with residually paying sites such as Bukisa, Suite 101, or HubPages.

• Learn the basics of search engine optimization. Search engine optimization (SEO) is how readers find your articles. The better optimized they are, the higher your article will rank in the search engine search results. The higher the ranking, the more traffic your article receives. The one thing you should learn early on is that no traffic means no money. It’s hard to earn $100 a day without Internet traffic.

• Choose your residually paying sites wisely. Before you start adding content to a site in hopes of earning residual income, do your homework. Look at the site’s Google and Alexa ranking. Make sure the site is well established and is getting traffic. Remember, if our goal is to earn $100 a day by writing online, you have to write for well established sites that enjoy a steady stream of traffic.

• Take it one site at a time. While you are earning up front pay, devote an hour or so a day to the residually paying site. Think of the residually paying site as your second or part-time job. Don’t stop adding content to a site until after you have a nice foundation of at least 100 articles. The more content you have on the site, the better. Make sure to interlink your articles for maximum traffic.

• Don’t get lost in write for pay sites. While earning money banging out 8 to 10 articles a day writing for Demand Studios can bring in anywhere from $120 to $150 a day, you can quickly tire of writing so many articles each day. That’s why it is important to devote consistent time each day writing articles for residual sites. As your residuals grow, the need to bang out 10 articles a day will diminish.

• Stick with the plan. The quickest way to lose out on earning $100 a day is to quit. The old cliché “Quitters never win and winners never quit” is very true when it comes to online writing. You have to be in it for the long run.
