When starting out as a freelance writer, you may not have any or a few clips. Clips are articles that you write whether it's done online or offline. If you do have a few recent clips, then you are somewhat ahead of the game. But if you have no clips, it's time to get started by writing for money. When you start writing articles, make sure that you decide what kind of topic to write about and that you are very knowledgeable in a certain area. If you do not have much knowledge about something, do some research about that topic of what other people write about so then you can get a feel of how to write one. Here are a few ways to make money as a freelance writer.
Write at a writing site that pays you either by upfront payment and/or residual income. The difference between the two is that for upfront payment, you get paid for a certain amount of money depending on how much the company would give you for per articles that you write. But for residual income, it's where you have articles that even though you wrote them months ago, you are still getting paid whether your articles have Google adsense and/or for certain amount of traffic that are being directed to your articles.
Make a blog or website. Most people start off with a blog since it is much easier to write on and there aren't too many rules for blogging. You make money by placing ads where people can click on but make sure it is relevant to your site. There are many sites and places that pay bloggers and writers for having their ads on the site such as adsense, chitika and adbrite just to name a few. There are some very popular blogs from bloggers that make lots of money each month and it's a great way to see how others do that.
Blog or do articles for other people. Take some time to learn about SEO writing and marketing. SEO writing uses keywords which are words that you use in your articles that people are looking for some certain information. Some keywords make more money than others and knowing about SEO will make more money compared to the other keywords that doesn't help bring in much traffic.
Most of the companies will pay by paypal, check or other payment methods. Paypal are usually the prefer method to get the money and it is free to sign up. A few ways to get your payment from paypal is A. by direct deposit which you need a checking account or have a legit credit card for proof of who you are or B. have Paypal send you a regular check for $1.50 which is deducted from your profit. Using Paypal is definitely the way to go to get some money for what you write and now have the information to start making money.

Wrexham Business Week: 'How can I make a lot of money quickly?'
THE question everyone wants to ask financial expert Justin Urquhart Stewart is: “How can I make a lot of money, quickly, and where can I put it to get a fast and vast return?”
His answer is simple and straightforward, although initially disappointing: “There is no magic stone you can rub – the only way to make money is by hard work and by dull, old-fashioned compound interest.”
The good news is, Justin believes that the people of Wrexham have a head start:
“People in Wrexham are used to working hard, used to spending their money carefully, good at saving, and good at working together as families and as communities. You only have to look at the coal miners – they worked hard, they avoided debt, they saved as families.
"That’s what people in Wrexham have been doing for generations, and that’s what we all need to do now, apply good old-fashioned Welsh family values, reduce our debts and build our money for the long term.
“Even if you only get a return of two per cent on your savings and investments, thanks to compound interest, year on year it will grow. Interest rates will eventually rise, and an interest rate of seven per cent would enable you to double your original investment at the end of 10 years.
“It’s vital to look after our family finances. We can’t rely on any government of whatever party to look after us in old age.
"We have to work together as families and build money for retirement, and to pass on to future generations. It’s important to educate our children about money and investing for the future.”
Justin practices what he preaches and visits schools to talk about the importance of savings, investments and pension funds, and the benefits they bring.
Even with his infectious enthusiasm for the subject, and the lively way he talks about financial matters, it’s hard to believe that even Justin can stimulate young people to start pension planning.
He laughs and agrees, but adds: “That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t give them the information. Young people need to know about money – at the moment many are leaving university with a massive debt of £30,000.
“We have a family trust that supports education in other parts of the world and my daughter is a trustee. She can’t benefit financially from the fund herself, but she’s involved in decision making on how we grow the fund, and what we spend it on. Any family can do this, or any community – get together and give something back.
“This is something else that you’re particularly good at in Wales – working together to preserve your heritage, to provide amenities, to make your communities better places.”
When it comes to business, Justin also sees many reasons why Wrexham has a competitive edge: “You’ve got a tremendous industrial heritage, you’ve got a direct rail service from London now, and sterling is weaker than it’s ever been, which makes it a great time to attract visitors to Wrexham.
"You should have special weekends where the train journey is part of the break, it might not be a fast train, but that means there’s time to serve a good meal, where you could feature local produce – use the train journey to promote your local food producers.
"There’s lots of heritage and superb scenery to explore – and the great thing about Wrexham is that people smile and make you feel welcome.
“Another benefit that you have is that Wrexham is a base for a lot of small businesses, and small businesses are able to be dynamic and flexible. We’ve lost some major, global companies in recent times, which is sad – but the dinosaurs didn’t inherit the earth, the small mammals inherited the earth, and it’s the small businesses that will succeed in the future.
“Manufacturing has moved to China. We have to accept that. But what we are good at in the UK is ideas, research and development. Wrexham should play to its strengths – develop tourism, support small businesses and encourage the growth of high-tech industries, specialist engineering and IT.”
If Justin Urquhart Stewart’s optimism and energy could be bottled, then he’d make a fortune, but it’s an optimism that is grounded in well-informed common sense. As Wrexham faces up to the impact of recession and looks for opportunities to develop its businesses and create new employment opportunities, his visit to Wrexham Business Week is a well-timed and welcome one.
