Writing and/or blogging is a better (more ethical) way to earn extra money rather than answering questions on a game show or entering a sweepstakes. If you know an answer to a question, it takes some effort to remember, but more effort to guess. But a guess is still a guess, educated or not. On the other hand, writing/blogging is original thoughts being expressed in writing. It's a craft, like artwork. It takes more effort than answering questions. Just a thought. My own original thoughts. I could be right or wrong in that view. What do you think?

Article writing and blogging is where the money is when talking about earning online. Most people would really love to earn from writing however not everybody is competent to write articles. In order to be successful, one needs to take particular attention to content, grammar and spelling. If you are not adept in the English language like most of us in Asia, how on earth can one make a living from article writing? I have been into article writing these last few months and I am earning good money but I still have those difficult moments expressing my thoughts. I am doing my best to improve but it is a difficult process. English is only my second language and the way we make use of the English words is certainly a lot different than the English speaking countries.

Very good! Keep in mind that writing can be not only self expression but a learning process as you go along. You would get better at writing with practice, as with anything else, just as long as you use words in a way that is clear enough to be understood without any confusion on the part of the reader. You're English seems to be clear & concise, from what I read in your blog. Keep it up!

I agree with you that it is more ethical, but that doesn't mean it is possible for everyone. Maintaining a profitable blog requires a lot of time and effort, as well as a bit of skill, knowledge and even some luck. There are a lot of blogs out there, so it can be tough to make yours stand out from the crowd.

I concur wholeheartedly! It is not possible for everyone, like you have said, because good writing, as I said, is a craft that is brought about by, as you said, time, effort, skill, knowledge and some luck. Yes, there is a lot of competition, like with any job, chore or errand in the entire world. That brings out the best in people in whatver they do, as long as they have their own convictions in what they do and stick with them.

It's the best way to earn money in regards to residual income, but a lot of people give up because you have to work hard at it and get an audience who will come back and read your writing. I've earned a lot through my writing, but I haven't really been writing too much.

hi dcunni2990, blogging or writing is the best way to earn money online but it is also right that every one can not get success without having good knowledge of english or good writing skills. Your ideas must be original and unique to attract more and more peoples to read articles.
