Examples of posts you can get paid $200+ to write

Let's make this real, shall we?

It's fine and dandy to talk about getting paid $200+ to write blog posts, but what do those posts look like? Are they written by scientists with PhD's? Are they super long?

All good questions, and the easiest way to answer than is to SHOW you some posts my students have gotten paid $200+ to write.

None of them are world-renowned experts, either. They are writers you've probably never heard of, but they are working away behind the scenes, raking in the cash.

It's a lot more common than you might think. For instance, did you notice this comment on the post I sent you?

Inspiring, right?

Mel is living the dream, and that's the reason I'm putting together this email series for you. One day, I want to get a comment from YOU like that!

By the way, I didn't ask her to write that comment. Totally unsolicited.

But let's take a look at the writing she is getting paid to do, shall we?

On Mel's site, she mentions getting paid to do ghost blogging:

You've probably seen lots of blog posts written by CEOs and other bigwigs, right?

Well, what you might not have realized is they don't always write the posts themselves. Many of them to pay a "ghost writer" to create the content for them, and they put their name on it.

Now, you might be thinking, "How is that fair? I don't get any credit!"

But hold on. When you ghostwrite a post, you can often get paid double or even triple the normal amount.

And it's not like the content is super unique. For instance, here's the post Mel ghostwrote for Sendlane:

The Ultimate Guide to Email Copywriting – 11 Tips to Instantly Boost Your Email Results

Nothing too complicated, right? To write a post like that, you could Google "email copywriting," read the top few posts, and synthesize the info.

And boom. Money in the bank.

For another example, here's a post from another student, Sarah Li Cain. She wrote this post for Magnify Money:

5 Ways to Protect Your Money on Summer Vacation

It's a website owned by Lending Tree. More than likely, they are using the post to rank in the search engines and bring in potential clients.

This time around, it's not ghost written either. Sarah even gets a byline:

Now, does that mean she wasn't paid?

Not at all! My team recently caught up with Sarah, and she is now averaging about $500 per post!

Again, it's nothing fancy, either. It's the kind of content any writer can create with some training and practice.

To be clear, I'm not trying to downplay what Mel or Sarah have accomplished here. They're hustling, making money, and I'm super proud of them.

The point:

You can do this. Seriously.

Maybe you'd love to make a little income on the side, or maybe you'd even like to quit your job, travel the world, and become a full-time writer. Either way, THIS is how you do it.

And let's take this a step further…

How would you like to know the most lucrative markets for freelance writers? The ones paying the highest rates, hiring the most writers, desperately hoping you'll reach out to them and offer your services…

All will be revealed in tomorrow's email. Stay glued to your inbox. :-)
