Your work is to register with the one that works better for you. Online writing jobs require that you have a smartphone, computer/laptop and internet. Work is sent to you anytime of the day and at night, so you must always read your emails.
The work might look easy for anyone who has not done online jobs but when you join, you’ll realize that it’s a job like any other work.
At first, you have to work for established online jobs companies before opening your own company. The problem with running your own company is that it might be closed anytime if you don’t complete your work. However, being employed by someone might be tiresome because the pressure is too much. You might work for 24 hours nonstop and only finish three pages of the work. The most feared work is one that involves doing project work for someone pursuing masters or PhD. Looking for literature notes isn’t easy.
The easiest work is doing online surveys or typing. Transcription is also not so difficult when you have enough experience.
Online writing is an ideal activity for unemployed youths. You can start with it then later become a blogger. Experienced online writers prefer being bloggers than working for someone. Being a blogger does not require that you report to someone, you are your own boss.
The average income of online writers is Ksh 70,000 per month. But there are writers who earn up to Ksh1 million.
