I have a lot to say about how to write for money, because
that's mostly what I do. I'm doing it right now, in fact, and
this section probably has more pages written by me than any of
the others. I've been paid to write for a blog, I've self-published
books, I sell my own e-books, I write articles to promote our
websites, I write most of the pages for our 25 sites, I have
had a non-fiction book published the traditional way, and I have
created content for pay for others.
Our list of pages is farther down, but first, here's a video
I recently did on how to make money with Kindle books:
The business of writing is changing fast, and the internet
in particular has made it easier than ever to write for money.
Look through the pages here and you should find some way you
can write and get paid for it by next week.

explains on this page.

Get Paid to Write - How?
You can start right here writing for my websites.
Ghostwriting Jobs - They
get the credit and maybe they make some money, but you get paid
up front.
Writing for Websites
- How to make money doing it (I paid someone to write this page,
making it a good example).
Consider carefully whether you want
to be a business owner, a writer, or both. When you write for
your own websites or sell your own books, you have to be the
head of marketing and do all the other business tasks. Sometimes
there is more potential profit in this strategy, but it certainly
is simpler and more predictable to write for others and get paid
by the piece. And if you only are writing to create content for
your websites you might want to hire that part out and just run
the business.
