This article about the top three online writing jobs is courtesy of Author: KA Finch and Articlesbase.

Website owners need a lot of content – and with the addition of web 2.0 to their marketing plans, a whole new set of writing styles are needed. More about web 2.0 below.

Delivering writing projects on time and to specification is the best strategy for a writer to grow his or her business. You don't need to be a great writer, just a good one. You don't need a college degree, but it helps to know a little on a variety of topics. Here are my top three internet writing jobs:

1. Articles

Internet marketers need articles to help drive traffic to their websites. When an article is published, often through free publishing sites like ezinearticles.com, it can be used by any number of people looking for website content. They are able to use these articles as long as the owner's links remain in tact. So the one article might appear on dozens of different websites, with readers clicking on the link for more information.

The search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN love sites that are linked to by other sites, and see them as ‘active' and popular. They reward these sites by ranking them highly in search results – which is what all internet marketers want.

2. Web 2.0 Posts

Web 2.0 was an internet revolution that allowed visitors to websites to actively contribute to it by entering data directly. Such sites include Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Squidoo, eHow – and hundreds of others. Internet marketers need to have a presence in these platforms in order to get exposure and to secure links to their sites. The aim is to increase search engine rankings as well as to sell products and services.

3. eBooks

In order to position themselves as experts in a given field, internet marketers often hire ghostwriters to write eBooks on their behalf which they publish for sale or as giveaways to get sign ups to their mail list. As with ghostwritten articles, copyright reverts to the client once payment for the eBook is received. The writer is not able to sell or use the material in anyway.

eBooks can be anywhere from 30-300 pages and in order to come up with a price, it's good to establish a price per page, taking into account the amount of research that needs to be done. There are loads more opportunities for writers on the internet and thousands of topics that need to be covered. You are bound to be an expert in a few of them!
