#2. SEO Copywriting
Because SEO articles are also web ingredients, a similitude can be assumed between them and other web contents but note, SEO articles are replete with distinctive traits. SEO writing is more than ordinary writings.
What’s SEO writing?
SEO writing, according to onlinewritingjobs dot com, is a form of writing that helps websites become more visible to major search engines like Google and Bing.
From the name, “Search Engine Optimization” is making a website appear on top of the list of search engine results – e.g. Google – with the main objective of making more online visitors gush into a particular website, using content as the bait.
So what’s the big deal?
There has been an astonishing business, here, for writers who can make companies popular, online, increase their sales, and bring them more revenues. Doing this, the most amazing thing is the number of accolades you win – after the handsome payment – from a high-profile team of Managing Directors who take pleasure in bullying their employees, naturally.
What a game-changer freelancing is!

#3. Copywriting
Are the options above too serious? Here’s another way to make a six-figure income as a writer.
YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world with multitudes of Internet users stuck to it like a swarm of bees. From this, did you know writing could fetch you crazy earnings?
I’m calling you to scriptwriting.
If you can do it the right way, writers who provide mind-blowing scripts (with an endless appeal) for viral YouTubers get a heap of money. As a subscriber, you’re part of their donators. Lol.
YouTube pays – YouTubers who link Google AdSense to their channels – 68% of ad revenues for every time a video is watched for longer than 30 seconds. In another account, a video creator earns $2,000 for every million views.
I’m not sure if any untapped opportunity seems available here for a creative writer. But Youtube processes more than 3 billion searches in a month. Anything to offer?
Alternatively, you could have someone else as the character while you remain the content creator – if your voice/face is not nice enough. But, sometimes in all honesty, what really matters is the value. Not your face nor voice.
In conclusion
James Chartrand talks about why some people make money writing and others never will; according to her, there are two types of writers in this world: the people whose writing has a positive net effect on their lives and their businesses, and the hobbyists
If you choose to go for the latter, a writing that pays off, you won’t hesitate to grab the bull by the horn. Will you?
