it's a new year and you may be looking for some new ways to monetize your writing so in this video I'll be breaking down nine ways to earn an extra $500 to $1,000 plus per month alongside any jobs or commitments you may have the first five are tried and true methods I have personally used to make money online and the last four are more abstract ideas that you might find helpful as well let's get into it although there are literally endless ways to earn money online today I chose these methods because they require little to
no upfront investment and no experience I believe they're the perfect way to write learn as you go and get paid for it starting with my personal favorite something I call pay-per-view platforms if you watched any of my videos in the past you know that I write on two platforms called medium and news break these are platforms much like YouTube where you write on any topic you like and get paid based on your page views I love pay-per-view platforms because they host your blog for you you can write about whatever you want and the bigger you're
following the more leverage you gain when you decide to take things to the next step and Strike Up pan deals or promote affiliate links depending on how often you write and the quality of your articles you can expect to earn anywhere from $ 100 to $1,000 per month with a few hours of work per week or for more concrete earnings you may want to go for the conventional route of of freelancing when I first decided I wanted to make a living out of writing this is what I did after writing a few essays in the
Microsoft Word document I created a profile on Fiverr and started charging $5 per 500 word articles eventually after getting some initial experience and amassing some fstar reviews I slowly scaled up to earning $50 per 500 Words I use Fiverr as my main side hustle alongside various parts part time and full-time jobs writing on Twitter or now as it's known X when people think of X they don't usually think of writing but some of the most successful online writers started writing on Twitter it has a gigantic user base and being that the primary content on X
is text based you can reach billions of readers you can either tweet or create tweet her Reds and earn from X's partner program or you can amass an audience and then s products or services for reference I experimented with X back in 2022 when it was still called Twitter and I was able to earn a few hundred a month with only a th000 followers the conventional business model on Twitter or X is to give 90% of the value away for free and then monetize the other 10% once you have that initial audience and you have
shown that you can consistently offer value to them you can then leverage that into creating an online course ebook or training knowledge on other platforms such as YouTube or substack this is definitely more of a long-term approach as you need a following of I would say at least a th000 followers to start earning in a substantial money with that said websites like notion and gumroad make it incredibly easy to create products and be able to monetize it writing on LinkedIn so just like writing on Twitter LinkedIn has a gigantic user basee and most people Overlook
it as a viable social media platform to gain new clients or sell products or Services because LinkedIn is a workplace networking platform the vast majority of users on it are working professionals or people who are looking to make a career shift so if you offer your value in terms of motivation career advice or any type of coaching this can be a awesome place to attract new followers subscribers and ultimately customers you don't have to be an expert in any particular field a lot of people just looking for advice and are happy to pay money to
chat with people who are a few steps in front of them you can also host your own blog on LinkedIn which is awesome for introducing your readers to your long firm content especially if you write on other platforms as well or host a paid newsletter which brings us to the fifth method on this list which is one I've just Revisited myself and that's hosting a paid newsletter on substack so I sa this one to the end because it is a platform you can earn money on with no experience although it helps drastically if you already
have an audience to promote to if you've never heard of substack it's a newsletter hosting service where you can create a newsletter and send post directly to your audience Hub has become incredibly popular in recent years because you don't have to adhere to an algorithm you can write unadulterated embracing free speech and because you show up directly in your subscribers inbox it's a much more personal than other social media platforms you can choose to host a free or paid newsletter and depending on the size of your audience can become incredibly lucrative very fast I experimented
back in 2022 and eventually stopped because I just didn't have an audience that was big enough for me to earn any substantial money but fast forward to today in 2024 and I have just set up a new substack page depending on the time you're seeing this my substack may already be live if it is I will add a link to it in the description below and I would love for you to subscribe if you're interested in making money writing online as I mentioned this method works best in unison with other social media platforms as you
will have to promote your link and get the majority of your new subscribers directly and now for a few abstract ideas that have been swirling around my mind and my notion app for months that I have yet to action but you may want to try and could become very lucrative for you and the first is to post your plogs articles or any other form of writing on Spotify and earn from their partner program with the explosion AI last year there are tons of tools you can use for free to create voiceovers without having to record
it yourself so my idea is if you already have a Blog you can use AI to make a voiceover and then upload them to Spotify to earn from their partner program as well as a mass a new following another idea I've had is to use AI to generate images or Boll and upload your articles or blogs to YouTube writing is the basis of all storytelling and as a writer you have a huge advantage over other creators who rely on chat GPT or copy and pasting scripts to generate their stories so if you already have poog
or articles up online or at home on your computer you can with the help of AI make videos without having to appear on camera or even use your own voice if you're interested in exploring this idea I will link the video that inspired me in the description below now method is to compile your articles into an ebook or in-depth guide the idea of writing a book can feel overwhelming but if you think of what a book really is a piece of writing at an average length of about 10,000 words so if you have been writing
online for any amount of time you may already have 10 articles in the same Niche or on the same topic post it so what you can do is tie those stories together either as a cohesive story or 10 Standalone articles and then use a program like canva to compile them into a book and sell it either on gumroad with a simple landing page or if you want to go to that top tier upload to Amazon as an actual book which is similar to this last method which is the most actionable if you are just starting
out and are looking to earn your first dollar online which is to compile a list of pretty much anything and offer that as a pre product to readers of your content it can act as a great basis to build your email subscriber list with which is the base of any online business and will serve you in the future if you're interested in this method you can download the template I use in the description below I'll also add a video showing you exactly how to get started with this method at the end of the day there
