Web content writer versus lecturer

I had earlier mentioned that writing for the web is very different from the English taught in your school or college. In this article I shall give you a few examples of language usage in the internet.

I had been working as a lecturer in English in Nehru Memorial College (Autonomous) one of the most prestigious institutions in Tamil nadu, which is a pioneer that introduced the popular computer science as UG degree course for the first time in India.

When I was a lecturer I used to insist on the so called Queen’s English, whereas, being a freelance content writer I prefer American over the British English. American English servers better when it comes to writing for the web.

One other thing is the use of pronoun. I have always told my students that repeating nouns again and again (excluding the ones used for the purpose of clarity) in writings will result in a form of error called redundancy, which is viewed seriously by some of the orthodox teachers of English. But when it comes to writing for search engine optimization you will have to repeat the keywords in order to attain the required keyword density. If you are new to SEO, a glance at my profile will really astonish you. [However, as a lecturer I would certainly not recommend this type of writing for your term papers. This is only for article writers who write for the web]

I wish to share some of my experiences

I do have to share a few of my experiences with you. As a content writer I was able to make some money through my writings, however, you will have to face a stiff competition from writers across the globe.

You should remember as a freelance article writer you are not just a professional but also a business person. You will find various types of buyers. Some of them I have come across are great people who respect the hard work you have done. While I have also come across others who bargain to reduce the price of your articles, there are a few cheats that accept your terms but never show up after you deliver you articles.

This is why you need a stable mind to face every kind of people as you start your freelancing career. You can easily lose heart if you deal with people who wish to exploit you. Never mind carry on your business of article writing till you become popular once you attain a super writer status as in info barrel or a platinum status in ezine. You can turn tables!

Here are some tips to earn some more bucks through your writings. I came across few websites that offer free web templates, free hosting services, free banners, free widgets, free articles, and even free SEO services! In fact, internet is a true source of earning a living without investment. All you need to earn through internet is a computer and an internet connection. If you are willing to do some research you can host a website of your own without spending a dime! And what surprised me is that there are various programs that help you earn good sum.

This very site is an example of creating websites without having to spend money. Once you have valuable informative contents in your website you can apply for Google’s adsense program and other various affiliate programs that earns you some good money.
