Know money to make money
by Ivon T. Hughes http://www.writerscontest.ca/
The experts are always telling us that getting paid for what you know
is one of the most effective, least time-intensive ways to make a buck.
Well, if you know anything about money (and you don't need to be a financial
whiz), writing articles for financial websites can be a very lucrative
way to get paid for what you know.
We all understand that demand for your product is essential in any business.
Well, how's this for demand: EVERYONE is interested in money. We want
to know how we can earn it, save it, and grow it. After all, isn't making
money your basic motivation for reading this article or subscribing to
this newsletter? If you do want to make money, and you have any insight
or even anecdotes about things like investing, business, family finances,
taxes, or even being flat broke, there is a huge online demand for what
you have to say. And surprisingly, you don't have to be a professional
writer to get in the game.
There are many different types of financial businesses that are always
looking for articles (yes, even your articles) to use on their websites.
Stock brokers need technical articles, as well as articles on how families
like yours invest, and what they think about stocks and mutual funds.
Even banks, insurance companies, and mutual fund companies are always
looking for human interest stories about how money, or the lack thereof,
can affect families and individuals just like you, from all walks of life.
You've probably heard a dozen times that the best selling product on
the Internet is information. Well, for you and your articles, this can
clearly be the case. Financial websites are willing to pay you for your
articles, because their customers and people visiting the sites are HUNGRY
for the information. Providing the information people want makes these
firms look good, making people want to do business with them. If you can
help their business with your articles, they are often willing to pay
you handsomely for your assistance.
In all seasons, and at specific times of year, there are articles needed
on issues like retirement planning, education funding, savings, tax filing
and brackets, insurance, estate planning, family finances, and more.
But what if you don't know anything about any of these topics? If you're
willing to do some research and learn a few things, you'll not only be
armed with the knowledge you've gained, but you will also be poised to
make some great money. Try going to a search engine like Google, and you
will find thousands of articles on money, investments, and all types of
insurance. Spend some time learning the ropes and your study could pay
off big time.
In fact, many websites even hold contests to promote themselves and build
a crop of writers. These sites are looking for interesting articles that
teach, entertain, and inform on money, finances, investments, and insurance.
The major prizes can be worth thousands to the writer, making a few hours
of research and time spent writing well worth it. As sites build a list
of writers, they will typically increase the number of writing contests
they hold, making it easier and easier to get in on the action.
