Today, I feel competent to write this article. I have spent four years in the online writing industry and hence, I can provide guidance to others who wish to be as successful as I am. I remember the days when I spent almost all of my online hours searching for a steady way of earning money online. I am good at astrology. Since, I have taken formal training from our family astrologer. Yes, in India we have family astrologers like family doctors. They are treated in a similar fashion. So, my blog smartyoungsters hosted on blogspot.com had the same flavor initially. I then learnt about Google adsense and installed those ads on my blog.

They earned me some cents and some dollars but I still haven't reached the payout. So, I turned my attention to original love, writing. I was a student of English literature and Psychology at that time. Therefore, as a fan of writing this came naturally to me. However, with every new article and assignment I improved my writing skills.

Let's get down to the basic tips of becoming a good writer

1. Start a Blog

2. Write what you like to write

3. Write for article directories and don't get impatient if they don't publish your articles immediately.

4. Use your skills to engage people.

5. Once you get enough traffic to your blog and you become a published author. You can move to incentive based sites. There are websites that pay you for writing. Verify those who are the old and reputed in the game. Then go for them.

6. After this, find top freelancing websites for writers and you can start your career.

7. Believe me, freelancing sites vary from person to person. Some that work for me may not work for you.

8. Never think that you have become perfect. There is no such thing as a perfect writer. You need to ride on the tide and accept every mistake that you commit.

9. Eventually you will learn to ride the wave perfectly. Then you can use your writing skills for other things like affiliate marketing.

Hope, this article helped all new writers to find their way to reach the top of this "web"!
