Freelance is a wonderful way to make money. There are many sites on the web that cater to freelance writers, offering compensation in several ways.

There are upfront payments, page view payments, independent contractor job bidding, promotion payments.

The hard thing about writing for web usage is learning SEO (Search Engine Optimization) this is what makes your work searchable and rankable by google and other search engines.

Promoting to your friends and family is always good, but you need more than those few page views to actually make good money from page views.

Also good topic selection, choosing articles or blog posts that are evergreen, or viral is the goal. Evergreen means that it is a good topic year round, and something that people search for everyday. Viral is something that will get picked up as an email and passed around and around, or may even get added to a popular web page, moving it to the top of Google searches and getting lots of views. For example: Perez Hilton’s blog many times chooses articles on celebs and promotes them.

Having articles that are easily found through searches is key to your article getting picked up.

There is a lot to learn if you are just getting started in freelance writing, do your research before youjump in blindly. Make sure to read all you can find on SEO techniques, use google trends for keyword ideas, and write a few articles just for yourself as practice.
