Learn How To Make Money On iWriter
What is iwriter?
You may have heard of iwriter before, but do you know what it is, or how it works? Iwriter is a website where users can order content, and on the other end, write content. It is very simple, and creates a very user friendly interface to get jobs completed quickly. Iwriter has been around for quite some time, and over the years has made great changes to enhance your experience when using the site. On some platforms, they even have a mobile app. So, if you’re a freelance writer looking to get started, iwriter might be the perfect place for you.
Let’s dive right in, and take a look at what iwriter is all about.
Getting started
Getting started on iwriter is fairly easy compared to the competition. If you came here thinking you had to send in a resume, then you’re sadly mistaken. Iwriter gives everyone a chance, when they’re hiring new writers of course, and ranks their writers based on a rating
So how does one get started?
Well, believe it or not, you only need to complete a couple of tasks. If you’d like to give iwriter a spin, you first need to make sure that they’re looking for writers in your area. If they’re not, you can always check back because this number often fluctuates.
So, once you get to the signup page, you’ll need to submit some content. The first thing you’ll need to do is create a brief sample of your writing. This is broken up into two parts, with the first one being the reason you want to write for iwriter. Once you get that completed, you can move onto the second task. The second task generally asks for you to talk about how social media marketing is important, and provides iwriter with a solid sample of your work. Luckily, both of these introductory assignments shouldn’t take you long because they’re only 300 words. Short, sweet, and to the point. That’s iwriter.
How to start writing
Iwriter is unique in that it has a large flow of content. Why is this important? Because it means that you’ll always have plenty of work to choose from. When you first get started, you’ll likely begin at the standard level. At this level you’re only able to write for a very small margin of profit. This all might seem intimidating, but believe it or not, it is very easy to select a project. Once you’re on the writers dashboard, all you need to do is select “write content.” From here, you’ll be exposed to hundreds of projects that need writing. Then, see what you like, and select the project.
Here are some quick things you should know about these projects to help you get started quickly:
- You are timed, which is based off of the word count of the project. If you run out of time it will be sent back into the queue for other writers to pickup
- All content must be 100% unique, because iwriter uses copyscape to scan for plagiarism
- Try to use headers, bullet points, and italics in your work. This will help make your content more readable
- Do your research before writing a topic, this will ensure you obtain high ratings
- Always check your work
- 3 copyscape red flags will get your account banned
The pay may be deflating at first, but cheer up, because this is just the beginning. Use the time you spend at the standard level wisely, and don’t focus too much on the money. Think of it as a learning experience. At the standard level, you’ll figure out exactly what clients tend to ask for. You’ll also learn how to choose work, and what work you should shy away from. Use this knowledge to obtain as many high ratings as possible, because once you hit the next tier you can start making some serious cash.
Plus, if you think you have what it takes, you can always sign up for the $147 fast track program. This fast track program can help you get off to a much faster start, and can land you starting out in the elite levels if you play your cards right.
The fast track program allows you to submit content to the staff at iwriter, and that staff will come up with what they think is a fair rank for you is. The program will provide you with some insight as to what clients are looking for as well, so it can be a great way to get off to a fast start.
How to get to $10 an article
For many writers on the platform, $10 an article seems to be the sweet spot. This is the place you want to be. So how do you get there?
To be completely honest, it is easier than you think. The only downside is that this is going to take a lot of work. The best way to pursue this goal, if possible, is to jump on board the fast track program. This will give you the quickest results. But, if it is not in the budget, then you can do it the hard way.
The writing brackets pay you different rates, and some of these rates look like this:
- Standard pays about $5 for 1,000 words
- Premium pays around $7.50 for 1,000 words
- Elite pays close to $15 for 1,000 words
- Elite plus tends to have payouts in the $30 range for 1,000 words
You should understand that these are just rough estimates, and those estimates are based off user experiences. So, if you want to make $10 an article, you can either write one elite article or find a high paying premium article. It definitely helps if you get special requests as well, because you retain more of the profit on those special projects.
How to hit $100 per day on iwriter
This might seem hard to achieve when you’re at the standard level, but it is more than possible once you hit premium. In order to make $100 a day, you’ll have to write close to 20 articles per day. This depends on the length, of course, but that seems to be a pretty good average.
The best method of achieving this is to practice churning out quality content quickly. So, before you start selecting that 3,000 word article, try writing a few 500 word articles. These articles net you around $4 at a premium, so you’ll only need to write about 25 of those per day. Seems easy right?
Another way to go about this would be through special requesters. As you advance on your iwriter journey you’ll meet good clients along the way. Clients that will like your work, and want more of it. Building these relationships is crucial, because they can give you special projects that net you higher profit per article. Great clients will also give you tips, so feel free to build as many relationships as you can. Getting to $100 a day is not easy, and it is definitely a grind, but it is possible. Make sure you set time aside in your day to get articles done.
Some good tips to follow are:
- Avoid clients with high rejection rates
- Build relationships
- Set time aside in your day
- Be regimented
- Focus on writing faster
- Choose articles with lower work demands
How the pay works
The way you get paid is by a client accepting your work. So, in theory, you could write without being paid if your article is rejected. Most of the time this is not the case, and if you’re article is accepted, the payout for the article will be deposited into your account.
This will form a balance sheet for you, and you can track how much you have at all times. As of recently, the payout date is every Tuesday. This means that for all of the work you had approved the prior week, iwriter will pay you the following Tuesday. This once a week system keeps things very manageable.
You should also note that iwriter requires a valid PayPal for you to receive payments through them. PayPal is also the only way to receive payments, so make sure you create one prior to signing up.
