Like the last few posts about making money online by writing, this post isn’t specific to Fresno or the Central Valley. You can take part in this even if you live outside of Fresno (or California).

People like me make money by having websites about specific topics. When you have a website about a specific topic, one of the ways to make money by writing is to write a lot of quality content. Your website will be where you put all of your articles and the content you write. Depending on your area of expertise, your website can be about anything. This method is contrary to the “sell your articles for money” idea because all of the content is still owned by you and you’ll hopefully make money long term, not just when you sell.

One of the easiest platforms to publish content is through a blog. A great blog platform that is free is WordPress. It’s easy to use and easy to install. Once you have your blog set up (buy your own domain from NameCheap) you start writing about whatever topic you chose. Your topics should all be related to your main topic.

For example, if your blog is about widgets, your articles could be “Buy Used Widgets”, “Find Red Widgets Online”, and “How To Find A Lost Widget”. Those are called “long tail” keywords. They are phrases that not many people will search for, but a few people will find your site through each article.

A good starting goal is one post per day, 7 days a week. Once you begin to write faster, try to up the goal to 10 posts per week, then two posts per day. Eventually you’ll be such a quick writer that if you have 3-5 hours per day, you can write at least 10-15 posts per day. If you’re producing that much content you’ll have a big audience and surely start making money online with a website!
