Where can you sell lyrics?
Copywriters are fed orders. But sometimes you want to create some small but passive source of income. Or relatively passive.
What kind of passive income can a copywriter have?
Alternatively, you can put articles up for sale. It will be partially passive income, because they still need to be written. But it is also a good option to monetize those articles that, for some reason, were not accepted by the customer.
No need to try to make the sale of articles the main form of income. As practice shows, sometimes an article can lie in a store for a year, or even more, until someone buys it. Especially if the topic is not very popular or too popular, and against the background of competitors, your material looks weak (or expensive).
What topics sell well?
There are topics that are always in demand, and articles on these topics diverge well:
Beauty and health;
Medicine;
Cryptocurrencies (in light of recent events);
Cars;
Sports (reviews of matches, etc.);
Repair and construction;
Recipes;
Psychology;
Recreation and tourism;
Film reviews.
As you can see, there is where to turn around, the topics are different and for different tastes. But before you run off to write an article about a Caribbean vacation, take a breather and read the following tips to make selling articles a really profitable business.
What you need to do to successfully sell articles
It's one thing if you still have an article lying around, and you want to earn at least something on it. But if you want to make it a profitable business, a professional approach is required.
1. This is elementary, Watson, but your article must be good and unique. Interesting, complete, revealing the topic.
2. Articles optimized for search queries sell better. We chose a topic - find the keys through Yandex.Wordstat for it. Collect synonyms. Write according to the rules of LSI copywriting.
3. In the description of the article, briefly describe what it is about. You can briefly outline the outline of the article. Be sure to write for which keys you have optimized it.
4. If you choose illustrations for the article, you can raise the price for it by 20%.
5.By the way, about the price. Look at what price your competitors are selling articles on similar topics. Your price should not be the lowest - you won't earn anything that way. It must be competitive. If above the rest - indicate in the description why. Describe the benefits of the material. For example, you have an expert's comment there or it is a translation from a foreign source. Or contains the results of research, or something else. Something that you can and should pay more for.
6. Come up with a good headline that grabs attention. But not jaundice!
7.Try to avoid mistakes. Alas, more than once I saw articles in stores with typos right in the title. No one will buy such an article. Yes, and it will also ruin your reputation.
8. People often ask if it is possible to sell one article on several exchanges at once. If you want to do this, be careful. If an article was bought on one exchange, it must be urgently deleted on others.
Where can you sell articles?
To sell articles, there are shops on content exchanges. The most popular of them:
Etxt
The largest content exchange in Runet. Without exaggeration. And the article store here is one of the largest. Of course, this means a lot of competition for you, but at the same time, there are a lot of customers. I myself, if necessary, go to buy articles here.
Each article is moderated before getting to the store. But be prepared for the buyer to suggest corrections or dispute the purchase.
Prices for articles are different (as elsewhere), starting from 10 rubles per 1000 characters. You set the cost yourself.
Popular topics on this exchange are construction, recreation and tourism, renovation, beauty and health, children and their upbringing.
An article put up for sale can be edited, but after that it is moderated again.
After buying the article, the money goes to the seller's account in 3-4 hours.
The exchange commission is 10%, but it is divided equally between the buyer and the seller. I think it's very honest.
Advego
Another content exchange "not a small one." According to the administration, about 500 articles are sold here every day.
After being added for sale, the article is moderated, which can take up to three days. You can only edit an article before it has been moderated. After that, that's all. You can only change the price. The author sets the price himself.
Popular topics here are finance, beauty and health, cars, electronics.
Up to 30 unique author's photographs or illustrations can be attached to each article
The advice from the exchange is to add at least 50-70 articles if you want to be bought from you every day.
Text.Ru
And here the shop is covered. Once one of the best content stores, it no longer accepts new articles for sale:
It's a pity because the prices here were pretty good.
2Polyglot
This exchange also has a shop where you can sell articles, reports and translations.
Exchange commission - 10%. You set the cost of the article yourself - and you can immediately take into account the commission of the system.
Different prices. Who gives away for free, and so I saw mostly prices in the range of 3-5 USD. for the article.
There are not so many jobs here, that is, the competition is almost zero. Many articles in Ukrainian.
text sale
The very name of the exchange already speaks for itself. This is one of the first "store-type" exchanges, where articles on a variety of topics are sold at market average prices.
What I don't like about this exchange is its design. It's not just outdated. He is ancient. And navigation is such that the devil will break his leg.
Popular topics are technology, tourism, fashion, construction, cryptocurrencies, recipes and others. Prices from 6 rubles per thousand characters to infinity.
After publishing an article in the catalog, you can change the parameters of the articles, but not the text itself.
System commission - 10%. The minimum withdrawal threshold is 200 rubles, and this withdrawal is available only on WebMoney.
freelance.discount
This is a marketplace where EVERYTHING is sold, including texts.
You set the prices for the work yourself. And not for signs, but for the article as a whole. On average, the prices for an article are in the region of 100-200 rubles and more.
The buyer is given 24 hours to check the lot, during which he can dispute the purchase.
Choose an exchange with a store that suits you and provide yourself with additional income. Good luck and high sales!
