There are lots of ways to make money writing. You could make money writing books, for example or make money writing for the web. Many people make money writing online, writing the content for websites and articles and blog posts to promote them. There’s good money in that.

To get paid to write directly (like, write and get paid right away) there are three options. You can either write by direct contract, just selling what someone wants and orders, or you can write private label rights (PLR) materials and sell these as packages or you can use your writing skills to make money in your own Internet Marketing business.

All three methods can work for you. And, they are NOT mutually exclusive. Some combination might be better for you. Alternatively, you could, of course, learn the basics of writing a novel, then publish and sell that novel. This route has higher risk, but it also has much higher potential reward!

So you sign up for a writing course, get some creative writing tips, generally learn anything and everything you can about exactly how to make your novel wildly successful. You study the market, learn what sells and what doesn’t. You study the details, the ins and outs of the novel-writing business.

When you are ready, you then hide yourself away for as long as it takes to write your novel and get a final manuscript.

Then you make the rounds of publishers untill you find one that is interested in publishing and promoting your work. If you are successful you could make a lot of money, like John Grissom or J.K. Rawlings. If no one likes your work you come up empty-handed.

But don’t be discouraged! Few authors hit the jackpot with their first novel. Learn from your mistakes and try again!
