The Internet communicates through the written word. Yes, it is true that audio and video are on the rise, but websites are still 90+ per cent written text. And it's not just copies. It must be new, different, unique text.

The search engines value the unique, discount the copies. The Net is a structure and mechanism of computers. One thing computers do extremely well is compare text "A" with text "B" to see if they are the same or highly similar. Millions of pages can be compared in seconds. Unique copy rules.

It is, of course, possible to generate unique copy with computers. But what is not possible (at least, not yet) is to get unique computer-generated copy that makes any sense! Only human writers can generate unique, readable text that makes sense to the reader. For that, writers get paid to write for the Internet.

Freelance writers enjoy many freelance writing opportunities. You can get paid to write for the Web by generating articles, by posting to blogs, by generating website content. A whole new environment has evolved for the Internet writing market. It's different, it's new, but it works well.

Almost all writing work is done on contract. Almost all writers are freelancers. Some part time, some full time, but most keep an eye on the open exchanges like: Elance (visit and watch the video "How Elance Works") and other similar online marketplaces.

Writers either participate openly in formal offers and bidding or negotiate privately with the price and volume levels of the current market in mind...

The elements of negotiations are price, quantity, quality requirements, deadlines and payment terms. Payment terms will cover initial deposit, payment against delivery, whether an escrow is used and how payment is made. Much work is done via PayPal payments, which are fast, direct and economical.

Communication is by the Internet, sometimes by phone. You almost never get face-to-face with whoever is on the other side of the transaction. The world is your marketplace, hours are open (it's always 9-5 SomeWhere!) and the pace is fast-moving. It's easy to get paid to write for the Internet.

Buyers of writers' work are not concerned about literary, best-seller quality. They want readable text that meets their requirements, they want it on schedule and they want it at a good price. Quantity, speed of production and delivery rule over literary excellence. Experience outside the Net is not necessary.

If you would like to participate, come on in, the water's fine! Read 2-3 guidebooks written by those already there. That's a good way to understand the rules and the environment, avoid the often costly mistakes made by 'newbies'. Then surf the bulletin boards and 'Freelance Writers Wanted' marketplaces for a while.

Make offers on some startup contracts. Go slow at first, choose carefully and perform fully. Get paid to write something and get some credits under your belt. Then take it where you want to go... You can write part-time to pick up some extra cash or gradually work it into making a full-time living; your choice.
