I’ve got several hundred sites and I know writers who have 1000 sites. This perhaps seems incredible. If you’re a new writer, or you’re not used to Web writing, you’re thinking “why would anybody want that many sites”?

There are a couple of reasons. The first reason is the creating websites is FUN. If you enjoy writing, creating websites gives you an open canvas. You can create a site on any topic at all. You don’t need anybody’s permission, there’s nobody who can reject you, and with any luck at all each and every one of your sites will make money.

How much money?

That depends on the site. Isabel, a writer friend, creates very small sites. Each site has around 10 pages. She’s not looking for a big payday from these small sites, she’s looking for a small amount of money: anywhere from $5-$10 a day from each site. No, that’s not very much money, but on the other hand since she has 200 sites all making five dollars a day, that’s $365,000 a year. This is more money than she could make at a day job, and it’s way more money than she was making writing for magazines.

The point is that there’re no limits to how much money you can make as a writer online when you create websites.

Some writers making thousands of dollars a day. This isn’t hyperbole. It’s very doable for anyone who wants to do it.

YOU could do it, when you understand how the online world works and how the sites you create make money. Approximately 50% of making money by writing websites is knowing how to write, and the other 50% is knowing how to make money from your sites.

One of the major reasons I created Sell Your Writing Online NOW (SYWON) was to give writers opportunities to which they were previously blind. In SYWON, we devote several weeks to learning how, when, where and why to create mini sites.

Making money writing mini sites is completely practical. Each and every site you create is an online property, so you can sell a site if you wish.
