7 Best Answers To 'I Am New To Writing. How Can I Make A Living Writing?'

I admit that over the last couple months, I have been a sloth in posting all these useful and important posts for you. Here I am, to give Make A Living Writing a new beginning with a new post coming for you on each Tuesday and Friday as per the Indian Standard Time (IST).

Without wasting more time from your precious schedule for today, I am going to talk to all my writer friends, specially the new ones, about how exactly you can start making a living writing.

You have been reading the old posts posted on the blog Make A Living Writing and you have a good resource of the websites which might help you making a living writing. No point repeating the same stuff here. Today I am going to mention some of the things which might help you in 'NOT MAKING A LIVING WRITING'. Yes, you need to take care of the below points if you are really serious about making this happen. So let's start!

1. You do not have Unique Content

I have been hearing this for last five years that I cannot make money from writing until I have something unique. That crap of an advice made me sit without blogging for months and then one fine day I just decided to go ahead with what I feel it should be all about. My first blog was about inspirational stuffs in my own words. Nothing unique in it, isn't it? There are thousands of similar blogs around, but the only unique thing about my blog was that it had 'I' writing.  

So, you need not have to spend time thinking what UNIQUE thing you should be writing about. Just put your efforts and make it happen, ignore what others have to say.

2.  You do not like To Read

Even if you a preacher, you will realise some day that you do not have anything else to preach on. Reading is one of the most important thing when you talk about writing. No human has unlimited ideas. It is just the knowledge and inspiration which help you write more and more on new things. Do not kill your readers with the same stuff you know just because you do not like reading. 

You should not read only on your niche, but others too. You can always take inference from anything you read, give it your taste, and write on it. Keep reading!

3. You do not like Competitions

Do not like competitions and that's why you want to start make a living writing? You can immediately start looking for other alternatives to make a living. You need to realise that with the ever increasing numbers of writers, any reader can access to millions of posts which are related to what he is looking for. That is where the competition comes in. Out of millions of similar posts, you need to make your content very clear and qualitative so that you can stand out and make money from it. Do not forget the first point I made in this post of making every content of yours tasting like it has 'I' in it.

4. You are not Creative

Creativity in writing? Are you kidding me? No Sir/Ma'm, I am not.

What are you planning to write on today? Just Google search a related keyword and you will find thousands of articles already posted on what you were thinking of. I am definitely not blaming you for kind of rewriting same content again and again because you really cannot help it. Believe it or not, you will have to do this at one point of time (specially during your first year of writing). That sort of rewriting does not help much in making money writing. 

You have to keep thinking on the new areas you can touch upon. Some new concepts from the same thing you have been reading all these years. As I mentioned earlier, it is all about what you infer from what you read. If your knowledge base is good, you can think of something creative for sure.

5.  You are just a Writer

Please, please! Do not abuse me for calling you 'Just A Writer', I actually do not mean what you think (That's what I was talking about ;). You infer things from what you read; and here there can be multiple meanings. Isn't it?) 

So what I am trying to tell you is that you should not be just a writer. That writer who can type 250+ letters per minute on the keyboard and finish the stuff in minutes. As you read in point number 2 above, competition is not when you type faster; it is when you think faster and better. That same creative concept you are writing on will make you different from others. That will help you differentiate yourself from other writers, when clients look for you. At the same time, you should know how to market yourself. Marketing? Let's talk about it in the next point.

6. You are not good at Marketing

"I read a lot. I just love competitions. I am Creative. I know how to differentiate myself from others. But still, I am not able to make much money. Why?"

That's the stage most of my fellow writer friends are at. Isn't it? Marketing yourself is very very important, but at the same time it is very very difficult. As they say, "Good things never comes cheap". You might be posting something really great post after post, but no one is actually reading it.

You can use different techniques of SEO to get your website higher PR. You can use some paid marketing services. You can even hire a freelancer to help you promote your website. Things are still not that easy. You have to take care that you are not over-doing it as that might actually hamper your image for clients. You cannot compromise on something lesser because that's when you are not making enough money. You have to use various analytics to keep a track on the growth of your website. That's not an easy process either.

My only suggestion for all those new writers is to promote the website on an average.

7.  You are a Sloth (Like I was in last couple months)

Anything, everything, you are writing about should be fast. Imagine that Best Buy has decided to offer first 10 customers on Christmas Day a brand new iPad 4. What are you going to do? Wait till evening thinking that you will still be one of those 10 lucky people? Something similar works in writing too. When you have something trending and you are too slow to write/think of writing on the same, you are not going to get that extra advantage. 

Make yourself active and writer your creative content faster.

Do you still want me to take your time? Go for it and show what you are capable of. It all starts with you and ends with you because you write it for your readers, they read it, help you with some comments/feedback which ultimately helps you being better and stronger. Right?

For any questions you have, I am always there for you at akhil.khatri@alliancelive.com (direct contact). Considering the number of emails I receive daily, I will try my best to respond to your emails at the earliest. Hope you understand.

Last but not the least, DO FOLLOW, DO COMMENT, DO SHARE, DO SUBSCRIBE, DO WHATEVER :)

Keep Writing!

36 Best Advertisement Publishing Websites For Blogs or Websites To Make Money

Hope my last post 101 Best Websites To Make Money Writing Articles  stood helpful for many of you. 

Even though Blogging has become common these days, but the internet world always welcomes good blogs. There are more than 50000 blogs being created daily on blogging websites like Blogger.com, Wordpress.com, and many more. Out of the millions of blogs, only thousands are able to make good money from the posts; rest are just struggling to reach a double figure earnings for a month or even the year.

Having said that, I do not want any of you passionate writers to feel demotivated. There are plenty of things which you need to take care of besides blogging. We will be discussing the same in our next post "Things The Bloggers Needs To Do To Make Good Money Blogging" to be posted on 25th March, 2013. Mind it, that post will really change the way you look at Blogging and will really help you make good money.

Coming back to you serious bloggers, I am going to mention the Advertisement Publishing websites below which will help you link you blogs to them. And what happens with that? The Ad Publishers will post the advertisement on the dedicated spaces on our blogs, and whenever anyone clicks on those Ads you earn some money. 

A big NO is to ask people to click on those Ads, or else you will be blocked forever for using any Ad Publisher for your blog (You should also not click on your Ads yourself). Take my words seriously, or you will regret.

So here are most of the useful Advertisement Publishing websites for you:

1. AdSense : Undoubtedly, the King of its Kind. AdSense is operated by Google and is very very strict with its Rules, Regulations, and Policies. Read everything carefully before you start with them. Most of the blogging websites are linked with it, and you may see the option to activate AdSense somewhere in the Dashboard/Main page. They take a week to review the applications. Once approved, you can activate it on your blog. 

2. Adbrite : Looks very much like AdSense and has many extra good features. Not to mention, they do not have wide range of Ad Format to be considered while using it on your blog.

3. Bidvertiser : Being a very close alternative to AdSense, they are really good features which the customization of the Ad dimensions. The unique feature is the displaying of Higher Paying Ads on the top followed by Lower Paying Ads.

4. Chitika : Another good website which helps you make good money. I started using this website in 2010, used it for couple of months, and decided not to be using it as it was not at all effective. The recent changes in the website have got it a new life and is really helpful in making good money. I checked my old account few days back and found a double figured earning there even after having an inactive blog associated to it.

5. Yahoo Publisher Network : Yahoo can never stay back when Google has already done something. It can be an excellent website just like AdSense as it looks like they work on the same rules and policies as AdSense. 

6. AdToll : The best thing about them is the modes of payment. While many other websites do not pay via Paypal in countries like India, Srilanka, and other Asian countries, they have this option to even pay via Paypal, or Wired transactions.

7. Clicksor : They are considered to be pay masters, but you got be having luck with skills to make good money here.

8. Infolinks : This website is very much like Clicksor but seems to be having better payouts.

9. AdMedia : With a minimum payout of $25, they are very much new in the market. They have comparatively lesser paid ads. It is recommended not to try it until you are really done with rest options.

10. Text-link-ads : It has a good number of advertisers linked to it which means you blog may rarely be seen without having any Ads on it.

11. Kontera : If you do not care about the kind of Ads shown on your blog, you can go with Kontera. It has a messy way of publishing Ads on your blog where it looks like Spams to your readers. 

12. Vibrant Media : Very much like AdSense but they have lesser Advertisers which means lesser Ads on your blog.

13. Adwager : Works on the similar layout as AdSense, but nowhere close to it in terms of earnings. You can try it if you are blocked/ineligible for AdSense.

14. TNX : I have never tried this website, but seems to be a good platform for fresh bloggers.

15. Widget Bucks : If your blog falls under the 'Shopping' category, give it a try. Rest bloggers can have a look at it and try only if it fits you/

16. Casale Media : One of the options of you do not like Text Ads and like only Banner Ads. They work on the eCPM principle. What is eCPM? In simple words, you earn as per views, not as per clicks on the Ads. It is actually better when your blog has good number of viewers. It is like assured income as per traffic.

17. Adversal : Another websites based on eCPM. They have Pop-up based Advertisement where you can earn $6 per 1000 views.

18. Target Point : Never tried, but give it a try.

19. Bid Clix : Another good website under the category.

20. All Feeds : Never tried, but give it a try.

21. Adhearus : Another good website but have very less Advertisers.

22. Affiliate Sensor : Very less Advertisers, but good payout.

23. Veoda : Never tried, but give it a try.\

24. Revenue Pilot : Never tried, but give it a try.

25. Kanoodle : Never tried, but give it a try.

26. Enhance Interactive : Never tried, but give it a try.

27. Quigo : Never tried, but give it a try.

28. Intellitxt : Completely based on the Text Ads. This website is quite new in the market and has very less Advertisers.

29. Nixxie : Never tried, but give it a try.

30. Info Grabber : Never tried, but give it a try.

31. Miva : Never tried, but give it a try.

32. Search Feed : Never tried, but give it a try.

33. Fast Click : Never tried, but give it a try.

34. Click Thru Traffic : Never tried, but give it a try.

35. Exit Junction : Never tried, but give it a try.

36. Adonion : Never tried, but give it a try.

These are most of the useful Advertisement Publishing websites which you can link your blog to and start making money. If you aware of any other website from the category, please share with us in the comments.
