Before beginning, there are two terms you will need to differentiate between when discussing freelance writing online.
As a web writer, you will be asked to produce ―content‖ and ―sales pages‖. The first is web content - articles, blog posts and most everything you probably already know enough to write about.
These little gems can bring you between $2.00 and $25.00 depending on how well known you are and what your writing ability commands.
The second, sales pages, is a whole horse of another color. It involves a unique brand of web advertising copy. These pages resemble a single sales page and can command anywhere between $1,000 to $25,000.
Two terms you need to know as a Web writer are "content" and "Web sales pages". In order to build both experience and confidence, you will want to take things slow.
This may make you want to jump right into the sales page arena; however, walk before you run.
Sales pages are works of art, and there is a lot that goes into learning how to write them correctly.
Starting out slow with general web content will get you acclimated to the online freelance market while you learn the ins and outs of sales page copywriting.
