Free Online Writing Courses

October 19th, 2009 2 Comments

While the art of writing certainly requires a bit of talent, learning the techniques of good writing through free online writing courses can send your own writing quality into the stratosphere. When it comes to online writing, the truth is that good things come to those who write well. Once your articles reach wide distribution and your name gets out there as a recognizable source for excellent writing - your earning potential as a freelance online writer is limited only by how much time you have available to devote to your writing.
free online writing courses

Previously, I’ve written quite a bit about free online resources and tools for online writers, and I’ve also provide a little bit of insight into the path that you can follow to become a freelance writer. However, in order to lay down a solid foundation as a writer, you really need to take a few writing classes - so I’ve decided to put together a useful list of the top 10 sites that offer free online writing courses in order to provide you with a page that you can bookmark and return to often whenever you’d like to take another free writing course.

Top 10 Free Online Writing Courses

Much of the Internet is over-run with useless sites that don’t really offer anything much of value, but instead try to draw in search engine results with spammed keywords and meaningless text (often written with the most atrocious grammar you’ll ever read). In order to cut through all of that nonsense, I’ve collected the finest sites offering a wide range of writing courses that cover all aspects of good writing.

  • Learning Space - This UK based online courseware site easily takes the top spot on the list of the best free online writing courses due to the sheer volume of available free courses. The Arts and History section has the most available lessons, but you can find excellent writing courses throughout other disciplines as well.
  • MIT Open Courseware - Can’t get into MIT? That doesn’t mean you can’t take writing classes from one of the country’s Premier technical colleges. Select the Writing and Humanistic Studies Department and you’re whisked away to a list of dozens of classes. Just choose your class and download the full course - it’s as simple as that!
  • Utah University - This University also offers open courseware that includes a few valuable English classes. Remember, these are full University courses that you can download for absolutely free.
  • NewsU - I’ll be honest, I’m a journalist at heart. I love hunting down the truth behind a story. News University does charge for some courses, but there are enough free, high-quality courses here to put this site toward the top of the list. If you’re a budding freelance journalist, don’t pass this one by.
  • Utah State - Utah State University also has a wide range of excellent courses for writing across all departments, but obviously the English Department is the best place to start.
  • Western Governors University - This site lists a great collection of classes under “Liberal Arts.”
  • Purdue - This top University offers some of the best open courseware of any other site available on the web. You’ll find fantastic courses like “Proofreading Your Writing” and “The Writing Process.”
  • Steven Barnes - This well known author and screenwriter offers prospective writers a complete writing course for absolutely free.
  • The Writer’s Channel - If you enjoy watching video more than reading, this series of video and audio writing courses are right up your alley.
  • Ezine University - This site offers an eclectic mix of online courses, many of which are focused on the art of writing for various purposes.

Learn the Techniques and Practice

When it comes to writing, about half of the effort to become a better writer is learning how to write as though you’re having a conversation with the reader, or how to use different methods to persuade, sell or draw an emotional reaction from your reader. Once you learn these techniques, the other half of the effort is to put what you learn into practice by writing as often and as much as you have time for. Make it a hobby that you do with every spare moment that you have available, and in a very short time you’ll find that not only have your writing skills improved, but you’re writing will also be well in demand.

Good luck with your studies, and make sure you share your success stories in the comments section below!

Dealing With Criticism On Your Blog or Article

October 6th, 2009 No Comments

It happens to the best of us - the day when you’re faced with the issue of dealing with criticism. Maybe you’ve spent hours researching and writing up your work of word-art, yet within the first few days of it being posted and online your comment area is inundated with both constructive and hurtful criticisms. Maybe you messed up a point or two in your article, or maybe you just completely missed the plot. If this has ever happened to you, I’m going to offer a few tips for bloggers out there on dealing with both kinds of criticism on your blog in a way that displays healthy maturity, but also in a confident and non-confrontational way.

Dealing With Criticism On Your Blog

Author criticism is something that many people on the Internet are not very good at. As a professional writer, you may be used to the sort of criticism you receive in college level courses where the professor or your peers lay out both the good points and the bad points of your writing, and then offer helpful tips on how to improve. While you sometimes get such mature and helpful feedback on your blog posts, just as often you’ll also receive comments along the lines of, “This post sucks, you didn’t do your research” or, “This is complete garbage.” It’s not exactly helpful, and the comments themselves are garbage - but since you’re the professional blogger here, you need to approach such comments in a way that validates the good commentators and invalidates those that are useless, irritating and immature (also known as “angry troll” comments).

Tip 1: Reward thoughtful and helpful criticism.

A perfect example of the various types of critical comments you may receive was a recent post I made on MakeUseOf, a large computer and technology blog that I write for. The post was actually a very simple topic - how to tweak Vista so that your Internet connection works better. The motivation behind the post was related to issues I had when I purchased a new Vista laptop that couldn’t communicate with my Linksys router. I decided to share some of my lessons learned with MUO readers. Let’s just say that when you’re writing for a technology crowd and you plan to do an article on tweaks, you better be ready to lay out the evidence for whether your tweaks work. Here are a few examples of the sort of comments I received. After the comment I’ll show you how I responded. This first comment was critical, but at the same time it was very positive and polite - clearly an emotionally balanced and kind individual.

comments1

Now, while the comment is pretty critical of the article, the commenter at least provides solid and valid points and does so in a non-confrontational way. Dealing with criticism of this type isn’t difficult, in fact it’s helpful. You’ll notice the last paragraph even offers some great advice as to how the article could have been better. In response to this comment I countered each of the points listed, however I absolutely took that last paragraph to heart - it was useful and true advice. It’s important as a blogger to take this kind of input and incorporate it into your future posts. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone has a bad day when it comes to articles - don’t let the mistakes get you down. Read these sort of comments carefully and use them to improve your future articles.

Tip 2: When a know-it-all commenter tries to make you look stupid, turn it around.

Especially if/when you are writing for a technology/computer audience, you’re going to be dealing with a lot of folks who think they know everything. I’ve been working in the computer industry for over 15 years now, and I’ve yet to work anywhere where at least 50% of the professional staff doesn’t consist of guys (usually) who think they know everything about everything - and they’re never wrong. Inevitably you’ll get some of the most spiteful and annoying comments from these folks. Nine times out of ten, they’ll also be wrong. Dealing with such comments is simple - turn it around on them. Go after the simplicity or error of their comment - and they’ll most likely leave you alone. From the same article above, here was such a comment.

comments2

Here, you’ve got a guy who clearly has all of the answers, and starts drawing conclusions without having all of the facts or information. In the computer field, this can be fatal because you spend 90% of your time convinced that one aspect of a program or system is what’s failing, and you fail to search through and verify all of the other points because you’re so convinced that it can’t possibly be that.  Here was my reply.

comments3

Was it too harsh? It simply pointed out the error in the logic and the points that the commentator didn’t even consider in his quick dismissal of all of the hardware/software issues that can cause communication problems between old network hardware and newer computer systems. So long as you aren’t too harsh or confrontational - this approach is fair toward these kind of commentators.

Tip 3: Don’t feed the trolls.

Finally, you’ve got the trolls. Beware of the trolls. Or, the more common saying is this - “Don’t Feed The Trolls!”

This sort of comment is best described with an example. You’ll get these sort of comments no matter how well you write. In fact, sometimes the better you write, the more likely you are to get attacked by such anonymous trolls. You have two options - just make good use of your blog’s delete key. Or - have some fun.  Here was a troll comment received in the article example provided above.

comments4

Isn’t that a riot? Is it possible that a grown man or woman would sit at their computer and, feeling protected by the anonymity of the Internet, type such silly and immature drivel? Personally, I doubt it - this was likely a teen or pre-teen just going off half-cocked and without thinking. While such a comment would usually get deleted, you could also just have a little fun, like this.

comments5

Unfortunately, this is called “feeding the trolls.” But sometimes, it’s just such a perfect setup that it’s very hard to resist. Gauge your responses to your blog comments upon what your general readership is like and what they can tolerate. While you don’t want to alienate your readers, you should also keep in mind that most of them are just as annoyed by the trolls as you are - so while you probably shouldn’t go at it with them all the time, every now and then a zinger or two can be fun.

How do you handle especially spiteful or immature comments on your blog? I’d love to hear your opinion!

Writing on Helium.com Becomes Profitable…Sorta

April 24th, 2009 No Comments

For anyone who missed it, back in January I commented about Helium.com, remarking that, “Helium is not the place I would recommend going if you hope to earn the big bucks.” As you can see here, I’ve written a fair share of articles at Helium.com, but that was mostly at the beginning of my online writing career, when I didn’t really know any better and was just testing the waters.

Helium Decides to Step it Up a Notch

To my surprise, only a few weeks after I published that article, Helium.com decided to increase their revenue sharing approach. So, in all fairness, I must reassess my original take on Helium. Instead of earning a “paltry” income from investing your time on the site, you will now be earning a “very tiny” income - but only if you’re willing to invest a fair amount of time. Here’s how the new system currently works.

Helium is now willing to offer “up-front” payments for your articles, similar to Associated Content, but at a lower rate and dependent upon your “writing stars” and your “rating stars.” The current rates are as follows:

* 1 Writing Star – $0.50 per article published
* 2 Writing Star – $1.00 per article published
* 3 Writing Star – $1.50 per article published
* 4 Writing Star – $2.00 per article published
* 5 Writing Star – $2.50 per article published

The catch? You have to have “1 rating star.” If you don’t maintain at least a single rating star, you won’t earn those upfront payments. How hard is it to maintain a rating star? Read on.

Rating Articles on Helium is Like Watching Paint Dry

So, for a month or so, I tried to see what it would take to establish and maintain at least one rating star on Helium. At first the help page was very obscure about what, exactly, was required to establish a writing star. I once posted on the discussion boards at Helium.com that I’d rated quite a bit over a few days and hadn’t seen any change, and the next day a rating star magically appeared. Whether this was due to some sort of “processing time,” or just some admin deciding to manually “fix” some technical glitch, it’s impossible to know. A few weeks later, however, Helium.com finally added clarity to their help page.

According the Helium.com help pages, in order to have a single star, you must have a “consistently high rating quality” and have “completed from 10 to 99 rates in the last 30 days or the last 90 days.” A little more clarity is provided below this under a section about rating stars that states to earn rating stars a user must maintain a “75% score,” whatever that means, and complete at least 10 rates in 30 days.

So, for a month I visited Helium.com every day and rated from 4 to 5 articles. Mind you, this was during time when I had several writing projects due in under three weeks, and didn’t really have time to sit around comparing one horribly written article to another and judging between them. Not that all articles were poorly written, but unfortunately most were. In my quest to find additional revenue on the Internet, I was curious if the magical single rating star would finally net some decent profit. It didn’t.

I Gave Up After The First Month

After those first two weeks, I realized quickly that this entire setup will never work. Writers know that it takes time to craft good writing - but to spend countless hours on a website judging and rating published content simply takes up far too much additional time. While 10 rates in 30 days doesn’t sound like a lot, the truth is that the algorithm that Helium uses to calculate your rates isn’t that straightforward. They attribute a “score” to your rates using some mysterious calculation - somehow trying to guess the value of how you rated between two articles based on your timing and reading behaviors while on the rating page. Through some experimentation I found that the system is horribly flawed, and you can lose a rating star far too quickly.

In my humble opinion, when you have the skill, and spend the effort to craft an article that is well-written and enjoyed by readers, the site that is bestowed the honor of publishing that carefully written content should pay for it. Other sites often pay very little in the form of royalties, but at least they pay straight and fair for that content, without playing silly games such as this. In the end, the Helium.com rating algorithm is the very last hurdle that the creators of this intriguing site have to overcome before they’re able to progress anywhere near the level of traffic and popularity as a site like Associated Content and others.

The thing about Helium is that the feel and community of the site is enjoyable. I just wish I could afford to spend more time there. Maybe one day they’ll get it right. When they do, I’ll certainly be one of their biggest fans.

Make Money Online With Freelance Writing

April 24th, 2009 1 Comment

After a few weeks of earning money by writing for websites like Associated Content, Helium, and Ehow, you’ll get a taste for what it’s like to actually make money online with freelance writing. If you want to work from home, it doesn’t have to involve get-rich-quick schemes or selling cosmetics and bath soaps to your friends and family. If you are a natural born writer, you really can earn a very respectable income by earning money online. Read on to learn how to work from home doing what you already love to do, through online writing jobs.

How to Make Money Online With Freelance Writing Jobs.

There are thousands of ways that you can make money online, earning a lot of income from various online writing jobs. Most blogs and work at home websites will tell you that you need to create your own website or blog and work at building enough traffic to generate ad revenue. In time, they say, ad revenues will generate steady streams of income. While this is partially true, for both your own blogs as well as for content websites like Associated Content, the truth is that those sites will produce steady income later. What you are looking for are ways to start earning good money by working from home right now.

Make More Money by Working on Writing Projects

You’ve probably scoured the Internet for freelance writing sites where you could work for buyers who list writing projects on those sites. Many of the websites are either so poorly created that it’s horrendous to navigate and even figure out how to bid on a project, or the bids on projects are so low that you feel like it’s useless to even try. I’m here to tell you that the bids are misleading. You can win writing projects at these websites, and you can earn significant income from them. The secret is to bid correctly, present yourself extremely professionally, and then perform above and beyond the call of duty. Below, I’ve reviewed the three websites where I earned the most income from online writing jobs. Each has pros and cons, but by using all three, you could be just as successful (or more!)

Constant Content - A Freelance Job Posting Site

It always amazes me, whenever I visit this website, how such an oddly designed site could produce so much income for writers. Constant Content is somewhat difficult to navigate if you don’t really understand how it works.

After you’ve signed up as an author on Constant-Content, to find what jobs are currently available for Freelance writers, you need to scroll down the left side and click on “Requested Content” under the Author Login section. On the requested content page, you’ll find a list of writing projects posted from buyers. These buyers will range from print magazine publishers to website designers. What they all have in common is that they are simply looking for quality articles written by good writers. On the requested content table, you’ll find the requested titles, the date of the request, and even what range the buyer is willing to pay for the completed article. The way the process on Constant Content works is this:

  • First, write the article according to the guidelines set by the buyer in the request
  • Make sure to assign a price within the range the buyer requested
  • Submit your article. You’ll need to wait a few days for Constant-Content to approve it
  • Once approved, go back to the buyer’s listing and suggest your article to the buyer
  • The buyer will pay you through Constant-Content

In upcoming blog entries, I’ll take you through an actual real-world step-by-step process of submitting articles to buyers on Constant-Content and getting paid for them. This page is an example of what your profile will look like, and any articles you write that don’t sell remain for sale so that other visitors on the web can purchase your articles. Keep in mind that Constant-Content takes a whopping 30% commission for all of your article sales through their website. It’s highway robbery, but without them, you’re article wouldn’t be seen by quite as many potential buyers.

Scriptlance - A Freelance Job Bidding Site

Scriptlance is the one freelance website where I finally discovered that it really is possible to earn a substantial income from writing. This is the king of all freelance sites. It’s focus is website design, but for an online writer, such a website is a goldmine of opportunity to write online content for website designers. When you first sign up with an account, you’ll have a profile page like this.

This profile page is where you’ll monitor the status of all of the projects that you bid on, as well as all of your active projects that you’re working on. Your current balance is displayed, and as you complete projects successfully, your rating will eventually rise - winning you more and better paying jobs. Clicking on the “View Projects” link under Member Login on the left switches to the page listing the latest project postings.

This list is where you’ll spend much of your time, monitoring the latest posts for projects that you could potentially accomplish. Remember to keep an open mind - website designers need content covering a very wide variety of topics. If you’re willing to write about anything, the opportunities that come up are endless. When you see a project you like, post a bid amount that’s competitive but reasonable.

Find freelance programmers at ScriptLance.com - Search worldwide

In an upcoming post, I’ll take you through the process of bidding on, and winning, Scriptlance bids by writing winning private message board messages that win over the buyers. The secret of success at Scriptlance is perseverance. Never give up, even when you lose bids, just keep bidding and eventually you’ll have more work than you know what to do with.

Miscellaneous Sources of Freelance Writing Jobs

Other sources for writing work can be located all over the Internet, if you know where to look. It’s best to avoid the websites that are obviously a sales pitch for membership at some freelance listing site. You don’t need to invest money to obtain good freelance jobs, you just need to be diligent about searching for opportunities and applying wherever any arise. Free classified listings are filled with job opportunities from all sorts of folks who need articles for different purposes. By searching these sites, you’ll discover a few additional sources for some excellent freelance writing opportunities.

  • Craigslist - Search jobs for “articles” to find writing opportunities from buyers across the world.
  • USFreeads - Search through the “employment” and “business opportunities” sections for listings.
  • Yahoo! Classifieds and Google Classifieds (Base) also list great opportunities in the job categories.
  • LiveSimon - Another popular online classified site listing occasional writing opportunities.

There are thousands of free classified listing sites across the Internet with unlimited ways to make money online with freelance writing - the only real limit for earning income from home is how much time you have available to write. Keep searching for those jobs, and make sure to bookmark this blog (or subscribe) for the latest tips and news about the newest online writing opportunities within the writer’s market.

Work at Home With Legitimate Online Writing Jobs

April 24th, 2009 No Comments

One of the most common questions I’m asked whenever I tell people the sort of online writing work that I do is whether it’s really possible to earn money online through work at home. My answer is always the same, yes - it’s absolutely possible. But you won’t succeed by answering those too-good-to-be-true ads about earning $100,000 a year from home by letting your “computer do all of the work for you!” The magic bullet that I’ve found comes from using your god-given talent to earn a significant income for your family. There are four simple steps you can follow that will get you there. First you need to be honest with yourself about your abilities, then you need to decide that you’re going to work your tail off in order to succeed, and finally - you’re going to decide that quitting isn’t an option.


Work at Home by Completing Online Writing Jobs
The online world is going through an amazing transformation. When the Internet started getting popular, back in the 90’s, websites were fairly dull - with cookie cutter table-like formatting, with drab grey colors and horrendous writing. And work from home jobs using the internet was virtually unheard of. Here’s an example - my apologies to Wendyanne…I simply grabbed this because it was the first example I found.
Web pages were filled with dry text and endless lists, charts and tables. But as things got more interactive, and then Google came along, things got very interesting. Suddenly webmasters realized that they were competing with all of those other websites for visitors, and search engines ran the show. Keywords were king, and web designers started stuffing keywords into their content in order to catch the attention of the search engine crawlers.
Google Created Demand for Quality Content

Google was the first search engine to catch on to these web design tricks, called keyword spamming, and actually penalized websites for doing it - reducing their page ranking. Today, webmasters now find themselves in a situation where the only possible way they are going to be able to generate the traffic that they need is by producing high-quality and keyword optimized website content. By 2003 or 2004, this demand has created a unique niche market for writers. Never before have creative writers had the kind of work at home opportunity that the Internet now offers. Just consider the countless ways you can legitimately work at home by working on online writing jobs. What sort of jobs are available?
  • Niche market analysis reports
  • Creating content for webmasters who can’t write (which is most of them!)
  • Writing on sites that pay royalties per visitor
  • Writing sales copy for businesses
  • Creating easy single web page content for businesses
  • Writing newsletters
The list goes on - the only limit is your imagination and your ability to seek out the source of those opportunities. This is where I can help. Subscribe to this blog, and each week I’ll walk you through all of those work at home opportunities.
Earn Money Online Through Royalties

The first examples are those websites that offer royalties every month for the content that you produce. These are the lowest-paying work at home opportunities, because it takes a bit of time to produce enough articles to generate significant monthly income. Regardless, it is possible to start a few income streams. The following are the best sites that I’ve found, and they are all free.

Associated Content

Associated Content is, by far, the best content producing website on the Internet that accepts articles from its membership.
Read the articles at this link for some examples of the variety of content you can write about to collect revenue from your visitors. At first you’ll only earn a few cents per article, but if you stick with it, once you have a library of hundreds of articles, you will be earning a respectable revenue. And yes, AssociatedContent is excellent about making payments to your Paypal account.
Ehow

Ehow is probably one of the easiest websites to earn income from. This is because they pay royalties based on what the ads on your article pages earn, not just on visitor count. This is excellent news if you know how to write how-to articles that attract traffic for the highest-paying ads. The way to do this is to search for popular keywords and write toward those topics. For example, just from this list of Ehow articles, I earned almost nothing for “How to Devein a Lobstertail” (don’t ask me why I wrote it), yet I quickly earned over $12 the first month for “How to Pay Less for a New Car” - it’s what people are searching for, and it’s what advertisers pay the most for.

Helium

Helium is not the place I would recommend going if you hope to earn the big bucks. The revenue from articles, even if you’re an excellent writer, is chickenfeed. You can try to compete with other writers in the “marketplace,” where buyers select from a list of writers.
You write to their guidelines, as do 20 or 30 other writers, and the buyer chooses one winner who will get paid an average of $10 to $100 for their work. Unfortunately, regardless of how well you write, because there are so many writers competing, you are more likely to waste your time. However, Helium is a fun community to post your opinion on topics and at least earn a tiny sum for your efforts. It’s better than nothing! These articles are some examples of the sort of thing you’ll find at Helium.
The websites above are the top three, but there are countless others online. In upcoming posts, I’ll go over additional work at home online writing jobs that pay substantially more than these.

15 Year Old Collapses After Playing World of Warcraft

April 24th, 2009 No Comments

When a 15 year old boy from Western Sweden collapsed after playing World of Warcraft for 20 hours, did it prove that online gaming is harmful to your health?

Is World of Warcraft Harmful For Your Health?

In the past couple of years I’ve written a number of articles about online gaming. In fact, just six months ago I completed a niche analysis report for a client about the dramatic growth (and projected growth) of the online gaming industry. According to that research, Massive Multiplayer Online Games - giant virtual worlds like Warcraft - represent one of the most substantial segments of the online gaming industry. Americans love immersing themselves into a magical and virtual online world where anything is possible. But are we gaming too much? Is gaming now the new alcoholism of this generation?

15 Year Old Swedish Boy Collapses

According to the report in the Swedish media, the 15 year old boy gathered with seven friends, and all of them played World of Warcraft around the clock. They hardly ate and they hardly slept….for 20 hours. After being raced to the hospital, doctors determined that the boy’s biological systems were out of wack due to sleep deprivation, partial starvation, and “too long a stretch of concentrated game playing.”

You read that right. Too much concentrated game playing.

The truth, discovered in the process of writing the niche analysis, is that not only children are at risk of suffering such a fate. According to recent trends, older women over 40 now make up the majority of online gamers (when you take sites like Yahoo games, MSN games, and other web-based games into consideration). Surprisingly, adults are also more likely than teens to stay up late playing games. So what happens when you have to get up early to go to work the next day?

What is Internet Addiction and Do I Have It?

The Center for Internet Addiction has published an online test to determine whether or not you suffer from internet addiction. For writers like us, however, where the internet is part of your job - how do you know there’s even a problem? Ultimately it comes down to the same criteria as alcohol. It’s not a problem until it’s a problem.

Some questions to ask:

  • Do you find that you’ve stayed up far later than you intended while working on the Internet, and does that happen often?
  • Do you neglect non-internet/family duties in order to spend more time on the Internet?
  • Do others often complain about how often you are on the computer?
  • Does your job or school work suffer because of the amount of time you’re online?
  • Do you need to check email obsessively?
  • Do you choose to go online rather than spend time with others?
  • Do you feel agitated or moody when offline, but relieved when you are back on the Internet?

Yes to just a few of these questions could signal a problem. Richard Kelly wrote a fantastic book titled Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games: The People, the Addiction and the Playing Experience that perfectly outlines why these virtual worlds, like the World of Warcraft, is so darn addictive.

Avoiding Internet Addiction

I personally suffered from this affliction since I was in high school. That was before the days of the Internet, and my addiction was the magical worlds of games like Sentinel Worlds (an old Electronic Arts space game) and Ultima. These addictions made it into my college life and incorporated the internet once that was
invented. Finally all of the above addictions integrated into my marriage where it became a problem.

I now work online, but I’ve recovered enough from this addiction so that I can recognize it and work to make sure that it remains under control. The most important thing you can do, especially if you are a web designer or Internet writer who makes a living from the Internet, is to set strict guidelines regarding your online time. Make it like a real day job, where you clock in, and clock out at specific times during the day. And once you clock out, you go home and do offline work, or just enjoy time with the kids and family. As Internet workers, there really is no difference between Internet addiction and workaholism, so stay vigilant and protect yourself. The last thing you need is to end up in the hospital like this poor 15 year old from Sweden who had to learn the hard way.
