Cole says there are three main methods you can use to monetize content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-method-1-paid-access\">Method #1: Paid Access<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The first method Cole suggests to make money off your content is to create even more detailed content from your pillar pieces, master guides, and free courses that you can sell to people.<\/strong> Everything up to this point should be free to entice people and gain their trust and consistent attention. Once you have this audience, you can create something that offers them <em>even more<\/em> than everything you\u2019ve already combined. For example, you could offer a subscription-based newsletter, a paid interactive course, or a book (such as <em>The Art and Business of Online Writing<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Once you\u2019ve created paid content, how much should you charge and how many subscribers can you expect? Studies show that <a href=\"https:\/\/convertkit.com\/resources\/blog\/how-to-create-a-paid-newsletter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the average price for a paid newsletter is $11 per month<\/a> and doesn\u2019t usually go below $5. Further, you can expect roughly 5% of your subscribers to convert from your free content to your paid content. This means that if you have 1,000 people on your email list, only 50 of them will likely subscribe for paid content.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-method-2-employment\">Method #2: Employment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The second method Cole suggests to make money off your content is to use your proven skills to write for other people. <\/strong>Having a personal platform with your own content library and a stable and consistently engaged audience proves to people that you\u2019re a successful writer. You can now offer to share your talents with others for a fee. For example, you can be a content writer for a company or a ghostwriter for individuals who have credibility through expertise but not the writing skills to share that expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: If you want to work as a freelance writer using your content as a portfolio, you can advertise yourself and find jobs on <a href=\"https:\/\/smartblogger.com\/jobs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">popular websites<\/a> such as <a href=\"https:\/\/smartblogger.com\/jobs\/\">SmartBlogger<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.upwork.com\/hire\/landing\/?utm_campaign=SEMBrand_Google_Domestic_Marketplace_Core&amp;utm_medium=PaidSearch&amp;utm_content=124555474489&amp;utm_term=upwork&amp;campaignid=12964345678&amp;matchtype=e&amp;device=c&amp;partnerId=CjwKCAiAt5euBhB9EiwAdkXWO5Ymg6gUWlgDaZRqQr-Bj5_v0pMOfAiChc2fVEhD19QPJvHAIZuBShoCytUQAvD_BwE&amp;utm_source=google&amp;cq_src=google_ads&amp;cq_cmp=12964345678&amp;cq_plac&amp;cq_net=g&amp;ad_id=679616501240&amp;gad_source=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UpWork<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.craigslist.org\/about\/sites\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Craigslist<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flexjobs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Flexjobs<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.upwork.com\/resources\/how-to-get-more-jobs-on-upwork\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">To succeed on these sites<\/a>, make sure you 1) regularly produce high-quality work for clients (this can win you awards and badges on the site that clients see), 2) write unique proposals explaining why you\u2019re the best person to solve the client\u2019s problem, 3) ask clients for feedback after projects, and 4) maintain relationships with clients so you can work with them again in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-method-3-advertising\">Method #3: Advertising<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The final method Cole suggests to make money off your content is incorporating advertising into your personal website.<\/strong> This method works in a few ways. First, you can have companies pay you to allow their ads to appear on your content. Second, you can have brands pay you to directly endorse their products (for example, recommending users try a particular online therapy company in your relationship articles for people with depression). Third, you can become an affiliate\u2014this is like the second option, but you make money through commissions every time someone uses your link to visit their platform or purchase their product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Be careful when advertising. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-16\/chapter-I\/subchapter-B\/part-255\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">strict guidelines<\/a> you must follow whenever you provide an endorsement or testimonial for a product that\u2019s not your own and for which consumers are likely to believe reflects your beliefs or experiences. According to these guidelines, you must \u201cclearly and conspicuously\u201d disclose your affiliation or you could get into legal trouble.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever wondered how to turn your online writing into a profitable venture?
