Online Content Networks: Make Easy Money Writing Online?

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

Copyright 2006 Stephen Ashton

The thought of making even a part-time income as a freelance Web writer from home can be quite appealing.  Yet, finding small niche sites that are looking for articles, paying a decent amount of money, and buying content from freelancers with your particular expertise can be a daunting task. Enter online content networks. You probably come across articles on some of the larger content networks on a regular basis through search engines. Having experience working with three such networks, I’d like to share some background on content networks in general, what they’re like to work with, and then follow with a comparison of the three networks I’m experienced with.

What Are Content Networks?

When I refer to content networks, I mean a group of websites, each covering a niche topic, but still housed under one large umbrella site.  The three content networks I’ll soon be comparing are www.About.com (where I was a former writer), www.Suite101.com (where I am a current Editor), and www.AllInfoAbout.com (who I am currently building my third niche site with).  Often, sites within a content network are managed by an expert in a field who serves at the site’s writer, front-line editor / proofreader, blogger, and manager of a discussion forum, newsletter, or other site features.  In some cases, writers even have some say over the design and layout of their site and content.

What is it Like to Work for Content Networks?

What it’s like to work with content networks can vary greatly from one network to the next.  But in all cases, you have the ability to focus on a subject you enjoy and are qualified to write on (or they probably wouldn’t have accepted your application in the first place).  You also have a lot of flexibility in your schedule, because you’ll work as a freelance writer.  Despite the fact that pay scales and methods can vary greatly, you also have the potential to earn money and over and over again from the same articles you’ve written, instead of simply being paid a one-time fee.

The Networks

Please note that all information I mention regarding the networks below is pulled from personal experience and from information readily available on their websites between late 2005 and May 2006. Each of the networks reserves the right to change their general pay structures, writer requirements, and anything else at any given time, and you should check the network’s official site for the latest information.  The information below is opinion-based from experience, and will cover some of the best and worst points of each network.

www.About.com – One of the best qualities of About.com is the fact that they have the best pay structure for new writers (called Guides on the site), currently listed on their site as a $500 per month guarantee for the Guide’s first twelve months on the job.  Another positive note with About.com is that they have the backing of, and are owned by, The New York Times Company.  That fact can help Guides more easily get review copies of products and books, interviews, and other necessary contacts for information they’d like to use on their sites.  Despite how good that may sound, the biggest negative aspect of About.com is that they have somewhat rigged rules, in order to keep the network looking unified, so you have less control over your content there, and they probably take the least amount of feedback from writers.

www.Suite101.com – The difference in pay scales between Suite101 and About is similar in that the basic pay scales are based on pageview rates (the number of pageviews your site draws for the network), but different in that Suite101 currently has a set rate for all sites ($2 per 1000 pageviews as listed on their site now) whereas About’s rates are variable. The biggest plus to working with Suite101 is that the company just underwent a reorganization and is going through a series of positive changes and growth right now, including hiring a large number of writers. Suite101 is also fantastic at listening to writers’ and editors’ feedback and suggestions to consider improvements network-wide.  The biggest negative for writers would be the fact that there is no guaranteed pay.  It’s strictly based on pageviews.

www.AllInfoAbout.com – All Info About (or AIA) is a UK-based network with writers all over the world. The best part about AIA is that writers retain the most control over their content, and can decide how to lay out many aspects of their site (from their color choices to whether or not they want to include a blog to organizing their navigation structures in the most effective way to suit their content). The biggest drawback is that the network doesn’t pay.  However, writers have control over most of the ads on their site, and they can monetize them in other ways such as selling their own relevant products or services.  But despite the lack of direct payments, AIA recently started breaking sites onto their own domain names, instead of sub-domains on most networks, and running a site on their network instead of on your own can allow you network support through the writer community and enormous cross-linking opportunities to help you grow your traffic.

Overall, each of these networks has their pros and cons. If you opt to give content network writing a try, just be certain to weigh how much the issues of pay, freedom over your content, and open ears of management mean to you. Once you have your own priorities, you’re sure to find a content network that will fit the bill.

BREAKING NEWS: Assistance for all Wordpress Bloggers

About me

I am a full time reviewer of Internet marketing tools and techniques. On average I personally answer around six hundred questions about Internet Marketing through my blog every week. Naturally my work earns me a modest income but I have a genuine reason for doing what I do and this is to help people who are genuinely attempting to earn money to support them selves and their families.

From my work I know that probably half of the Internet marketing community are trustworthy people but the issue is a lot of these people are not very good at what they do and teach. Until recently the results of my reviews have been posted on a tiny number of blogs whose owners have asked me to contribute in return for assisting me in my evaluations.

Over 600 products tested

The total number of ‘products’ I have tested over five years is just north of 600, naturally I will only be writing about products that are still for sale. I have tested all of the products I review and whilst in some cases I know the authors personally this doesn’t divert me from telling what I really think about what is good and what is bad about each product.

Easy to use and organised directory

I am determined that every reader makes the journey to blog gets some help so I am making sure that every ‘product’ summary is categorised in terms of the amount of money they will have to spend, the level of knowledge they will need, how much time they should spend and how long it usually take to see some results.

First Review - The ‘blueprint’ for Wordpress blog success

I am going to kick off with Wordpress Blogs and what systems you can use to monetize them. Everyone should have a blog and I am passionate about blogging as the majority of my ’monthly salary’ comes from blogs but and however I am fully aware that setting up a blog can be confusing so if you join my list I will walk you through step by step how to do this.

Create once and replicate

Blogs are amazing in as much once you get one working properly and earning money then you simply copy it. But getting the first blog correct is the key and this is where you need the knowledge about how to create a ‘blueprint blog’ and what Internet Marketing ‘products’ and strategies you should use to build a solid foundation for growth and a regular income.

$1 Million in Google AdSense Earnings

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

They are calling him the million dollar man. Jason Calacanis recently revealed in his blog that he is on track to earn a million dollars from AdSense over the year ahead.

And if that number doesn’t wake you up and have you sitting on the edge of your seat, consider for a moment that he reached this level in less than a year. His company only started using AdSense in September 2004.

Calacanis runs Weblogs Inc., a network dedicated to creating trade weblogs across niche industries. And he’s quickly proven that AdSense is a credible advertising partner.

As their network has grown, so has their AdSense revenue. In January 2005 they earned an average of $580 per day. In March it was $737. In May it was $1,585. One day in July, just before he made the blog entry referred to above, they earned $2,335. Remember that is just for one day.  If they can take that daily average to $2,740 they’ll be earning a rate of $1 million for a year. And Calacanis predicts that reaching daily earnings of $3,000 or even $5,000 is quite achievable.

That’s quite an achievement. Keep in mind that Calacanis has 103 bloggers on the payroll and nine staffers. Even so, many webmasters would give an arm or a leg to have even a third of that.

Google’s AdSense has been revolutionary. It has become firmly established as the darling of the online advertising industry. Although rumors are heard of major competitors launching a similar service, AdSense’s premier position seems secure for now.

In essence, AdSense has made it possible for almost anyone with a web site or blog to earn some revenue from advertising, without having to employ sales people or spend precious time searching for advertisers. 

AdSense works like this. Webmasters sign up for an account in just a few minutes. They receive a small snippet of code to include on their web pages. Google will then automatically serve advertisements that are relevant to the content on the webmaster’s pages. When someone visits the webmaster’s site and clicks on one of Google’s AdSense advertisements, the webmaster earns a fee. Advertisers can pay anywhere from five cents to a hundred dollars per click, and the webmaster receives a percentage of that fee.

Many webmasters are content with earning five to ten dollars from AdSense to cover the cost of web hosting. But many, unsurprising, have higher ambitions. At a popular WebmasterWorld forum, participants share tips and encouragement on reaching a goal of $300 per day from AdSense. So it is no wonder that Calacanis created quite a buzz when he made his million dollar blog entry.

Google have proven once again that they excel at designing innovative Internet services. If you are in the web industry and have not yet used AdSense, then perhaps you should try it out. Or if you are already using it, perhaps Calacanis’ impressive results will encourage you to track the performance of your AdSense units more closely, fine tune their positions and formats, and take your earnings to a new level.
