1. Use a Job Board
Okay – job boards are places where content marketers and business owners post for writing jobs.
I used job boards to help me find writing gigs and it’s an easy way to make money.
Most job ads start around $40-$50 a post and if you can show your value and worth to potential client, you can get paid more. While there are scams in job boards, just know that most ads are good quality ones.
The best job boards are ones that have new gigs every day. I personally have used this one as it’s been the fastest in helping me find the exact writing gigs I want.
When pitching to job boards, you can craft your pitch more personal by searching for the business that posted the ad.
Get to know their content and what they are selling. You can even find them on Twitter or LinkedIn to get even more information about that specific business.
And one more thing – make sure in our pitch email to mention where you saw that ad as a way to help that business owner know which platform gave him the best conversions (and to help you see which platforms gave you the most gigs).
2. Do Affiliate Marketing
I use affiliate marketing on this blog and on many of my other blogs.
If you don’t know what it is, affiliate marketing is a method where you promote a product, service or tool to your blog audience. You get a link to promote that product on your blog or on social media.
If someone clicks on your special link – and buys – you get a commission.
The easiest way to make money is to start using Amazon affiliate marketing. They have thousands of products that you can promote on your blog. To help you get started, I have a video that walks you through how to make your first affiliate sale.
