All this is difficult. An aptitude for writing is required. And in school there should be a B in Russian, at least.

Who is the main consumer of services
Popular article writing services:
- In web studios and advertising agencies. The specialist is required to create advertising content.
- In online stores. The copywriter must fill out cards for products, create category descriptions, and fill the resource with informational articles.
- On text exchanges. The customer can be the creators of news resources, thematic sites (women's topics, health, sports, family, etc.), personal blogs, communities on social networks.
Article writing services are popular in web studios.
To fill sites, you can use other people’s materials taken from competitors’ pages.
But in this case, the resource will never reach the first pages of search results and will not bring income to the creator.
How to become a high-quality and expensive copywriter: 7 tips
How much can you earn by selling articles to different customers? Alas, most authors barely reach the $200-300 per month level. Although there are rumors on the Internet that professional copywriters cooperate with direct customers: companies, individual entrepreneurs. And their earnings exceed $1000. How to become a highly qualified and expensive specialist?
- Learn to write advertising (selling) texts. They pay 1.5-3 times more than for informational articles. And this kind of work teaches you how to sell, including your services.
- Read professional literature The following books helped me a lot in my writing career: P. Panda “Copywriter, Grow!”, D. Kot “How Not to Eat a Dog”, D. Kaplunov “Neurocopywriting”. And Arthur Grant, in his publication “Copywriting for High Fees,” teaches how to find financial customers outside of exchanges.
- Create a personal brand Start a copywriting blog on Yandex Zen or LiveJournal, a public page on VK, or better yet, make your own website. This way you will become a more famous author and attract financial clients.
- Design your portfolio beautifully Usually, the customer first briefly looks through the author’s finished articles. And only then he gets into the essence of the commercial proposal.
- Take care of your reputation Never allow yourself to miss deadlines, suddenly disappear from the customer’s field of view, or lie. If you have to choose between talent and reliability, most clients will choose the latter.
- Become a subject matter expert You won’t earn a lot of money by writing articles on the Internet on 20 different topics. You will spend a lot of time studying new information and end up with mediocre texts. Master 3-5 specialized topics and improve in them.
- Don't sell yourself for pennies Many authors are interested in how to earn at least the minimum wage from articles. Very simple. There is no need to grab all the cheap orders in a row. It’s better to tighten your belt for a month, but find adequate customers. And then live in chocolate for a year.
And finally, a useful video from the copywriting master, author of training courses Yulia Volkodav:
How texts are sold
Resources for freelancing and copywriting function according to the following principle: the performer registers on the exchange, passes testing for knowledge of the Russian language, selects an order and takes it to work.
Customers on freelance and content exchanges
Customers of content on exchanges create tasks and publish them in the public domain. Performers select an order from the general list and submit an application for its implementation.
In addition to tasks, the exchanges have a section “Article Store”, where a copywriter can put up his finished work for sale. If the customer is interested in the proposed material, he buys it.
Customers publish tasks on freelance exchanges.
Submitting an application for work
After passing the test, the author can fulfill orders. Most text exchanges operate on a tender principle. To receive an order for work, the contractor must submit an application and receive approval from the customer. A newcomer to such resources can only count on fulfilling inexpensive orders. With their help, he will gain a rating and get comfortable in the profession.
Regular customers
Taking on a new order through text exchanges is quite easy. However, those who want to earn a stable income and grow in their profession need to work so that clients become regular customers.
How much can you earn by writing articles?
There is a common misconception that such employment is a cheap part-time job, and it cannot grow into something large and serious. However, the experience of others proves that it is possible to turn earnings from articles into the main form of good income. For example, those who have chosen the creation of selling texts as their specialization can receive about 1000 USD for just one job. And the average monthly income of such professionals is approximately 300,000 rubles.
Of course, not everyone reaches such heights, but you can count on about 30-50 thousand rubles. Well, while you are just learning how to make money from articles, you should be prepared for the fact that profits will remain modest for some time.
How much do they pay for such work? This is easy to find out using the prices of popular content exchanges as an example:
- on ETXT.ru, for an article of 1000 characters without spaces, customers are willing to pay from 5 to 1000 rubles, depending on the rating and qualifications of the artist;
- the Advego.com site pays for work in both rubles and US dollars. On average, payment for articles here is from 20 rubles. per kilosign of rewriting and from 30 rubles. – for copywriting;
- payment on text.ru starts from 10 rubles, and the upper limit is not indicated;
- the TurboText.ru exchange obliges beginners to pay from 22 rubles, and the rate for the “Pro” level starts from 299 rubles. for 1000 characters;
- the content.binet.pro service places orders with payment from 30 to 69 rubles. for 1000 characters.
As you might have guessed, payment for an article on exchanges is mainly based on its volume, and it is calculated in symbols. At the same time, on different exchanges the number of characters is counted both with and without spaces. This also needs to be taken into account when creating an article, so as not to make a mistake with the text size.
Prices for 1000 characters depend on many factors:
- complexity of the task - that is, how many keywords need to be entered, what percentage of text uniqueness needs to be achieved, etc.;
- author’s qualifications – for whom the work is intended: beginner, basic or high level;
- content - for example, articles on gardening are priced cheaper than texts on automotive topics.
Another nuance is that on open exchanges, newcomers are paid less than on those content resources where, upon registration, they must pass a test for knowledge of the Russian language or pass an exam in the form of an essay. Therefore, it is worth trying to immediately get into closed areas so as not to sell your work for pennies.
Based on known figures, it is easy to calculate how much income a novice web writer can expect:
- On average, an article of 3000-4000 thousand characters, in which the author is already quite well versed, will spend about 1 hour of working time. At a rate of 25 rubles/1000 zn. payment for the text will be 75-100 Russian rubles.
- In addition, about half an hour will need to be allocated for proofreading, checking uniqueness and editing.
- It will also take time to study and analyze sources when the topic of the article is not well known to the author.
Thus, if you work on texts full-time and create 3 small articles daily, a beginner can earn about 225-300 rubles from this. Having worked hard, even with a modest payment per kilogram, you can actually get approximately 7,000 rubles a month. Naturally, as you increase your skill level, your wages will also increase.
Getting started on the Internet
Working on the Internet requires that the performer has appropriate training. A beginner will need to undergo training, create a portfolio and get comfortable on the stock exchange.

Online courses for copywriters will help you become a professional. Before purchasing access to paid lessons, you can study free materials that are freely available on the Internet. For example, the text exchange ContentMonster has a good course for beginners.
Developing a portfolio for yourself
The author's portfolio is the most important information section in his profile on the stock exchange. Those who have good articles or selling texts should post them as an example of their work. A completed portfolio increases the competitiveness of the writer and allows him to receive more expensive orders.
Those who do not have ready-made works do not need to despair. Even beginners on exchanges can make money.
High-quality filling out of your personal profile will allow you to receive your first order without a portfolio. This will increase the level of trust on the part of customers.

Tips for finding quality orders
When starting a career as an author of text works, it is worth considering some of the nuances of searching for orders.
A beginner needs:
- Show patience and persistence. A novice author may encounter the fact that customers will reject his candidacy and give orders to experienced performers. In this situation, you should carefully review the feed and select those proposals to which the least number of performers responded. These will be inexpensive orders, the competition for which is several times lower. The chance of getting the text into work will increase significantly.
- Work for pleasure. You should not take an order whose topic is unclear. For example, a humanities specialist who decides to write an article on “Numerical solution of differential equations” most likely will not cope with the task as the customer needs. As a result, he will ruin his rating and receive a bad review from the client.
- Don't waste time waiting for the best order. Time is money. For a beginning copywriter, time is also experience. The more works are written, the higher the performer’s rating will become. Therefore, it is better to take into account all the articles that can be written with high quality, even if the price or other conditions are not satisfactory.
- Pay attention to the customer's rating. Many services allow authors to leave reviews about customers. Before accepting an order, it is recommended to read the opinions of other contractors about cooperation. This will allow you to refuse to cooperate with a person who misses the deadline for checking texts, returns articles for revision, finding fault with every letter, gets into arguments and leaves bad reviews to the authors, lowering their rating.
A beginner needs to be patient.
Work in a copywriting studio
The third popular source of income for copywriters is agencies/studios. These are communities of qualified authors capable of writing high-quality texts that meet the needs of even the most demanding customers. The undeniable advantage of agencies is the absence of the need to independently search for work, as well as agree on prices and deadlines. All of the above are usually handled by project managers, allowing the copywriter to concentrate on the immediate performance of his duties.
In the average studio, prices are an order of magnitude higher than what most private customers can offer on forums and, even more so, on stock exchanges. Experience working for a well-known agency will be a significant contribution to your resume and portfolio.
So how do you get into a copywriting studio? Unfortunately, it's not that simple. As a rule, such projects are initially created by a narrow team of people and are rarely expanded, but you can try sending your proposal with a story about yourself and examples of work to their contact address, or call if phone numbers or Skype coordinates are posted on the agency’s website. It is quite possible that at this moment they need additional personnel.
What tools will you need for the job?
Comfortable conditions will increase the productivity and quality of the author’s work, so the workplace must be prepared according to all the rules.
Comfortable keyboard
Using a comfortable keyboard will speed up the process of writing articles.
There are 3 types of devices:
- Membrane. The height of the keys is 10-15 cm. Disadvantages: loud typing, difficulty in ensuring uniform illumination during night work, heavy pressing of the keys after prolonged use.
- Mechanical. Height - 20 cm. The best option for working as a copywriter. The disadvantage is the high cost (about 7 thousand rubles).
- Scissor. Height - about 6 cm. Convenient panel for working at night. Disadvantage: problems with keystrokes.
A comfortable keyboard speeds up the process of writing articles.
Workplace organization
The workplace must be put in order. All trash and unnecessary items should be removed from the table; The TV or radio should be turned off so as not to be distracted. Social networks, instant messengers and Skype also need to be closed or muted for notifications about new messages and events.
It is better to work at the computer in natural light. It reduces eye strain. The monitor must be placed so that the sun's rays fall on it from the side. There should be no glare on the screen that will cause eye strain. The monitor should be cleaned regularly to remove dust.
When sitting down to work, some copywriters forget about breaks. Every hour it is recommended to do a short warm-up for the eyes and body.
What editors should I use to write texts?
Among text editors, Microsoft Word is the most convenient for use. The program has a simple and user-friendly interface and ample options for formatting articles.
Microsoft Word is the most convenient text editor.
To create tables, charts and carry out calculations of any complexity, it is better to use Excel.
Pros and cons of making money with texts on the Internet
The benefits of freelancing include:
- Possibility to work in a flexible schedule. The author’s task is to submit the article within the deadline set by the customer. In the morning, afternoon or night he will write a text - it doesn’t matter.
- Lack of location. The performer can even write an article on the beach.
- Income that depends only on the performer.
- Opportunity to grow and improve your skills and craftsmanship.
Main disadvantages:
- The job is not for everyone. People who are not capable of self-organization and self-discipline will not achieve success in this area.
- High level of competition.
- Pickiness and inadequacy of some customers.
The advantage of freelancing is the ability to work on a flexible schedule.
Options for making money using texts
There are several options for making money writing texts. This could be a small part-time job in your free time or your main job that brings in a significant income.
Articles to order
Earnings from articles are divided into 4 types:
- Rewriting. In the task, the performer receives 1-2 ready-made sources, information from which must be processed and rewritten.
- Copywriting. This is what is called the creation of opinion articles. The contractor must have a good understanding of the topic of the order.
- SEO copywriting. The responsibilities of the performer, in addition to writing the text, include optimizing the article (adding keywords and phrases to the text, designing lists and subheadings). This is necessary to promote site material to the top of search results based on user requests.
- Sale of ready-made texts. Sometimes the customer refuses to accept the performer's work. For example, he did not like the presentation style or there were many errors in the submitted text. To ensure that your work is not wasted, the article can be put up for sale on the stock exchange.
Earnings from articles are divided into types.
Minor work
Minor additional income can be obtained by:
- Writing reviews. The performer will be required to create short texts with a personal opinion about the product or service. Customers are online stores or product manufacturers. On average, you can earn 400-2000 rubles per month.
- Commenting on publications on websites or forums. Writing 1 comment takes on average 1-2 minutes, and they pay 5-10 rubles for it.
- Captcha set. Captcha are symbols printed on an image that are used to protect Internet resources from bots. Programs do not recognize it, so webmasters pay for the user to manually decrypt the characters. The income from such employment is low and rarely exceeds 400 rubles. per month.
Other earning options
You can earn income using:
You can run a group on social networks.
Managing a group on social networks. The position of a content manager in large communities involves publishing posts relevant to the topic of the public, promoting the community and attracting new users to it.- Teaching aspiring authors how to write. To do this, you will need to write a book, a training course, or create a website on this topic.
- Publishing paid comments on YouTube. Channel owners often order comments for their videos to promote them to the top.
- Compiling email newsletters. These are letters that companies send to users in order to sell something. The text of the newsletter should be such that the reader has a desire to take action - go to the site, register, make an order, etc.
- Filling out product cards in the online store.
- Posting to forums. The performer must publish short texts on forums or create his own threads for discussion. The purpose of posting is to succinctly and unobtrusively advertise a product or service on thematic resources.

- Writing your own book. You can earn money from direct sales of the publication, and in the future - from cooperation with major publications. However, creating a book is not an easy task. First you need to write it, then use the services of proofreaders and editors, develop a cover design, find a publishing house, etc.
- Promoting your own website. By filling the resource with quality materials and raising it to the top of search results, the owner will eventually begin to receive income for advertising, selling links and participating in affiliate programs.

- Editing. A specialist must study the authors’ works in more depth than a proofreader, correct stylistic inaccuracies and format the text according to the customer’s requirements.
- Script writing. Part-time work is suitable for creative people with a rich imagination. New scripts are ordered for various events - weddings, graduations, children's parties, anniversaries, etc.
- Translation. The performer will be required to translate texts from one language to another. There is no need to change the structure of the article.
- Creating stories or poems or writing interesting life stories.
Types of text on which you can make money
The profession of a copywriter is in demand in many sectors of the information business - the order catalog is replete with different offers. Copywriters, thinking about how to make money from articles, choose topics that are close to them. This increases the quality and uniqueness of the text.
SEO and LSI
The concept of SEO copywriting.
SEO copywriting is writing texts adapted for search engines. The technical specifications indicate keywords (keys), their density (frequency of use and location) and types of occurrence in the text (exact or diluted).
According to the LSI methodology, the relevance of content depends on the appropriate use of keys, full disclosure of their meaning in accordance with the topic of the article, and sound competent and logical in the context. Unlike SEO, LSI evaluates both keyword richness and content.
An indicator of low relevance is when readers stay on a page for less than 15 seconds after it loads.
Copywriting based on sources
The first stage of working on the text is the search for sources, collection and analytical processing of data. Sometimes customers themselves indicate in the terms of reference the pages from which information can be obtained. It is important to interpret materials from other sites and create content that is unique in structure and content.
With the exception of writing fiction and completing specific commissions, you will always use sources.
Rewrite text
Rewriting differs from copywriting in that the performer is already provided with a sample source from which the structure and content can be borrowed. The author's task is to paraphrase the text while maintaining the meaning and increasing uniqueness.

Own texts for sale
You can write articles for money not only at the request of the customer. Targeting reader requests helps authors create their own content on popular topics and sell it on exchanges.
Reselling other people's texts
Experienced copywriters can purchase articles on some services and sell them on others at a higher price. The second option is to work as an employer: take a large order and, breaking it into small ones, offer it to different performers on exchanges.
Translations of foreign text
The work of a translator requires professional knowledge of both native and foreign languages, understanding of the context, knowledge of special speech patterns and constructions, spelling, and several functional styles.
Translation of text from English into Russian.
Articles to order
Writing custom articles is a popular trend in copywriting. After receiving the topic and instructions from the customer, the contractor begins work.
Writing stories and novellas
Authors of works of art can also sell them on exchanges or write to order. Prices for such materials depend on design, style and demand.
Film scripts
In today's film industry, where scripts have become predictable and full of clichés, fresh ideas always find their buyers. Selling stories adapted for film on stock exchanges can be the first step towards becoming a freelance screenwriter.
Own book
Writing your own book is a complex and time-consuming process. Good books sell in large quantities and provide their creators with income for many years.
Where to look for vacancies
Depending on what exactly a freelancer decides to do, there are several ways to find suitable vacancies.

Highlight each item with subheadings depending on the hierarchy you have built. Structured text is easy to read and comprehend. The page will have every chance to be bookmarked by users.
- Introduction. It is necessary to keep it within 200-300 characters in order to intrigue and amaze the visitor who has not yet decided whether to continue reading or leave the page. This is a separate art - to make interesting intros, announcements that will not let you go and will force you to read the entire article.
- "Body" of the text. Follow the recommendations given in this article when forming the main part of the article. Use a checklist, follow the writing rules and the customer’s wishes.
- Conclusion. This is an important part of the text that many people neglect. The epilogue should contain conclusions, briefly outline the most important points of the article and facts, so that the reader can make the right conclusion.

Use only verified sources: works of recognized scientists, encyclopedias, official resources, dictionaries, reference books, regulations, state standards. Be wary of sites where information can be freely edited by any user. If the source contains the author’s personal opinion on the issue described, ignore it, use only the facts.
