Get Paid Online to Write
Are you a good writer? Do you love to write? Is there a topic or genre that you could talk about all day long? Why not turn your hobby or passion into a blooming career!
In this blog article, I’m going to give you some insights on one of the best and most satisfying ways to earn some passive income. Or who knows… you launch an epic career of writing and make a six figure income.
If you wish to earn an income by writing for other people or companies, look no further than your home computer. According to the Bureau of Labor Statisitics (BLS), writers/authors make an average of $61,820 annually. That works out to roughly $29/hour. That’s not crazy wealth building income, but it’s a good living in most places for sure. Also consider quality of life, thanks to technology, that most writers have the ability to write anywhere they please; at home, on the road, in a boat, at a place of business or maybe from overseas… that means you can write on your own time, possibly even while working other jobs, passive or active.

Blogging is one of the most popular ways to break into writing. It’s relatively easy to get into with no experience or work history as a writer. All one has to do is set up a blogging platform account, learn the ins and outs of the dashboard and start writing.
What blogging platforms are best you ask? Well there are many. Most of which are completely suiteble for blogging. As it’s the content you write that people are interested in. Not the blog platform or CMS (Content Management System).
WordPress Blogs
For most people, WordPress.com is the first stop many take when launching their blogging career. This is the “official” WordPress website where you can establish an account and start building on the wordpress framework right away. WordPress is a community based content management system. It is free.
Blogger
BLOGGER.COM is a great option for getting the ball rolling. It is a Google Supported platform with great SEO and flexibility. Blogger also has a quick share link on YouTube. This means if you are a youtuber content creator, you can quickly publish your content on your blog via the Youtube Watch Page.

Just, type what you hear and submit, then get paid! It’s that easy. Check out REV.COM. Keep in mind, you must speak and type accurate English.
