Working from home as a freelance writer is one of the more popular options out there for people. The need for quality content web sites and blogs is on the rise. If you have already been making a living doing this then you know how many people are looking for people to help them build their sites. However, have you ever thought about what it would be like if you spent the time writing content for others on building your own sites what your world might look like.
Many freelance writers get intimidated with the idea of creating their own sites and walking away from working for clients. The truth is that there is much more opportunity for a larger longer term income by making this move. Lets take a look at just why you should start today building your own sites instead of working for others when you work from home.
Number One
When you create an article or blog post for a client, you get paid a one time set fee. Have you ever stopped to think about how much money the client will be making over time with this content? Many people who work from home writing do not think about what their content is truly being used for. The truth is that the content that you created is probably earning revenue for the client through ads and affiliate links and will be over time.
The potential for your words to be worth much more then whatever price is paid by a client is there if you are willing to take the leap to building your own site. You could be the one earning the revenue month after month off the same content just like the client is.
Number Two
If you work from home writing for clients, then you are only going to make money when you are sitting in front of your computer typing. That is just the nature of the business. If you want to take a vacation or need to take time off for a cold, you lose your income. When you have an established site, you can earn money even when you are not working on it. Once the work has been done to get you traffic and setup the site, you can earn no matter what you are doing. This includes going on vacation with the family.
Number Three
One of the best thing about setting up your own site to make money with instead of working for clients is that you can start out part time. There is no need to completely walk away from getting an income from clients while you work from home. You can start out splitting your time between your clients and building your own sites. Over time, you can transition to completely working on your own sites and not needing to take on client work.
