Your Writing Sucks! So Earn From It!
Earning from your writing, be it a blog or an article posted to article directories or web page is easy! Yes, I said EASY! Even if your writing sucks, you can and SHOULD EARN from it!
As someone who NEVER had proper English education (I learned my English from conversations on fishing boats while crabbing in Alaska and through reading) I fail to understand how someone who used the language all his life and completed at least a few classes of formal education can say that he or she is unable to write!
Perhaps these tips will help you if you find yourself in this predicament…
Beauty of the blogs is their informal nature that allows you to share your passion, your ideas, your knowledge in informal manner. It allows us to open communication channels not previously accessible and not bound by distance, race, nationality or previous education.
Each And Every One Of Us Is An Expert!
It is simply finding your expertise and than willing to share it is what makes your blog either popular or not. That and a few small tips. Yes, writing for the web has its own rules! But you already have gone so far…
- You have determined your passion or expertise
- You have made conscious decision to share it
- You have established a blog
- You are willing to work on it!
Points above already qualify you to write. Even if you are not Jack London (one of my favorite writers) you have the ability to share what you have to say in blog format.
You Will Find Your Audience!
People who read blogs, do so not only because they liked the info but because they liked the style your information was presented in. Even if it is presented in most abusive format like we have seen done by a few bloggers, as long as it strikes the chord with audience – you will get following!
It does help when you content has certain flow to it and at least some form of attempt to correct the spelling and grammar. I can’t teach you those as I, myself heavily rely on Spell Check and common sense, which doesn’t always brings the expected results

Great article. I think you right on when you can not understand how people in America, that has used this language all their lives say they can not write.
As you mentioned, as long as your passion shines through, it is almost guaranteed you will develop avid readers. I’ve read (and admittedly written) a few posts that were written for the sake of filling a void and they clearly flop.
Thanks for the link to the PDF.
Thanks Chad
And those ebooks are superb, even though they are dated somewhat I haven’t found one that describes info they provide better.
Hehe, nice one! I also suck in grammar, although and I’m Hungarian and all 1-4 is true for me so thanks for allowing me to write ?D

Now I’m even more impressed. I had NO IDEA English was not your first language….as someone who reads A LOT of blogs, that’s quite rare.
BTW, is “these tips will help you” up top supposed to be a clickable link?
Dennis Edells last blog post..6 Days Since Last Post: Lots Of Updates!

Writing comes so easy for some people. I think it helps sometimes to take a break go outside and meet new people, start new hobbies etc.

For people that do not have English as their first language, a good option is to purchase articles.Hire an article writer, don´t use PLR articles that thousands of people use.

Tom, you miss the point!
If a blog is your primary blog, I share my opinion, my passion! I don’t need a writer to do it and people either love what I have to share or hate it and leave my blog. Hiring a writer is not something most bloggers can afford or not something they need.
i totally agree with you i am also not too good with english and i learned from communication and interaction each everyone is an expert with something or anything he know good. and the ebook you mentioned i just love it thanks a lot.

If you can open your mouth, you can make money. On the net, it’s the know it all who has an opinion about everything that makes money. I gladly will share my thoughts about anything and everything if it earns me a buck.

I’ve always admired blogs run by Indian guys who can hardly speak/write english, but are so damn determined to make a buck they keep at it. I’ve seen a lot of success in those cases too

You’re so right. People want to hear your voice. Just write like a conversation and your personality comes through. Don’t try to be someone else and just be sincere and passionate.
