One of the fastest ways to make money writing is online writing. Usually most printed magazines and book publishers require a long waiting period and have a high level of writer competition which makes it difficult to make a lot of money writing in the traditional sense. However as the Internet has grown more popular, online writing has become an effective way to make money writing on the world wide web.

Most writers who use the web to publish their articles receive their income from a variety of money making sources such as:

• Relevant advertisers
• Employers hiring web-writers
• Referral programs
• Marketing their own businesses

Think about how the world wide web works. Usually when someone goes Google or Yahoo! they search for a particular topic. The first pages that come up are the most comprehensive particles about those topics, they usually aren't pages that sell products or run businesses online.

The article writers hold the biggest share of web traffic.

This makes it imperative for businesses to advertise on articles relevant to their area of expertise. It is easier than ever before to make money writing because there is a global market of advertisers queued up waiting for your articles to be written. Online writing is especially a good choice for the freelance writer.

The articles that make the most money successfully share a number of common features, some of which include:

• High volumes of traffic from search engines
• Relevant and well-written content
• Content that is in a "hot" advertising niche
