20 Different Types of Writing You Can Get Paid to Do Online

Have you considered these creative ways to make money with your writing?

By Justiss GoodePublished 4 years ago 6 min read

Do you want to know how you can turn the current writing skills you already possess into a way to generate a lot more writing income?

I like to share stories that have value and can help readers earn more money, which is why I talk about websites like Fiverr.com

On Fiverr, you can construct a detailed promotional ad, and offer your services as an article writer. That is actually one of the most popular gigs you can provide on the Fiverr website.

It's not hard at all, to turn the simple craft of writing articles into multiple gigs that you can earn money from. It's all based on how you word the services that you want to provide.

Wouldn't you like to have a look at just how imaginative you can be when you start creating writing gigs for pay?

I’ve listed 20 different types of writing work that you can advertise for and perform. Everything you see is an existing type of writing service on Fiverr, and you can offer yours as well. Select any of them yourself and get paid for the privilege.

This story discusses writing services that are actually very different from one another. Therefore, you'll be able to publish multiple ads for lots of visibility.

Don’t be shy. Spend a few minutes looking over the list and notice the brief explanation for each entry.

Consider how each requested writing service differs one from the other. You’ll also be able to think about which of these services you feel confident that you can perform.

Are you already publishing your work on Vocal Media, Medium, or some other writing platform? If so, you're definitely capable of performing at least one or two styles of writing on the list; maybe even more. Perhaps even all of them!

What You Should Know

Each of the gig services you decide to provide can earn you a lucrative writing income once you get started on Fiverr. They have a marketplace to offer your services in, and the buyers come there with their wallets out, looking for the services you’ll offer!

That is why you should look over the list really good. You’ll need to make sure you understand exactly what each style of writing involves.

These are all writing related services that are capable of paying you good money, and the best part is:

You even get to set your own rates.

Although it’s best to be competitive or at least try to mirror what the other service providers are asking; but you really don’t have to.

You can charge whatever price you want to charge for your writing services.

If you’re a competent writer with decent comprehension skills, it will take you no time to recognize how to adjust your writing style. You can start creating ads to solicit for writing assignments, performing one, two, or all of the following tasks.

20 Writing Related Services that Pay

1. Ad Copy — Write creative ad copy to accompany graphics and create eye-catching promo ads

2. Articles & Blog Posts — Write short to lengthy articles upon request, for buyers to post on their websites and blogs.

3. Business Names & Slogans — Develop creative business names and slogans and promote your Gig Provider services to online companies, via Fiverr.

4. Case Studies — Promote or except writing assignments on Fiverr for buyers in need of a writer to construct case studies based on the information and data they provide.

5. Cover Letters — Advertise your writing talents for drafting impressive cover letters for buyers on Fiverr.

6. Creative Writing — Promote your creative writing skills and willingness to write short fiction for clients, at a fixed rate, or per word rate; your choice.

7. Email Copy — If you feel confident about your how convincing your writing is, advertise to write persuasive copy for buyers who do email marketing.

8. Infographic writer — If graphics are your thing, besides writing, offer to create imaginative infographics for Fiverr buyers.

9. Job Descriptions — Help online employers who go to Fiverr in need of someone to write quality job descriptions that entice new employees.

10. LinkedIn Profiles — If you muddled through creating your Medium profile and your About Me Story, you should have no problem writing LinkedIn Profiles for buyers on Fiverr.

11. Podcast Writing — Maybe script writing is your secret passion, you just haven’t tried it out yet. Now’s your chance. Offer to create brief scripts for podcast hosts. They provide the details and format; all you do is put your magic touch on it with your writing! The more you do, the better you get.

12. Press Releases — Press releases are another form of writing that helps teach discipline because there’s no room for opinion and ideology; just the facts. Promote your writing services; get the buyer’s facts and turn it into a news-like story. Medium writers are skilled at that!

13. Product Descriptions — Writing about the descriptions and performance quality of various items is not everyone’s cup of tea, but, hey; it pays. Then again, some people simply love this type of work, and buyers always need writers who do it.

14. Resume Writing — You can be proud to offer your writing services to buyers in need of a well-constructed resume, to help them get employed.

15. Social Media Copy — Those writers who already know how to navigate the various social media sites will feel right at home offering their writing services for this type of gig. Most buyers want someone who knows how to write short social media posts that are engaging to readers.

16. Speech writing — You might think that offering this type of writing service might not be that popular, but you can never be sure. Companies and organizations may sometimes want to go outside their usual channels when looking for a good speech writer.

17. Technical Writing — If you’re one of those rare writers that technical jargon doesn’t bore to death, this just might be the gig for you to offer. Buyers purchase these services for a variety of reasons, such as creating technical company manuals for employees.

18. UX Writing — For those of you writers who do techy stuff and enjoy working with apps, you will probably do real well offering your services to do this kind of writing on Fiverr.

19. Website Content — When you offer your writing services as a content writer, you’ll be charged with writing more than the typical articles (like in item number 2). These gigs usually involve writing “Home” pages, and other common web pages, such as About, Contact, Services Offered, Frequently Asked.

20. White Papers — Writing this type of informational document will require you to highlight details about a company’s product. Buyers typically look for someone to take the information they pride, and explain various features, or solutions to a related problem, or maybe writing about a detailed plan they intend to implement.

Do You Have What it Takes to Get Paid for Your Writing Skills?

Each and every one of the above types of writing is a category on Fiverr.com. Scores of writers are already promoting their services to perform these gigs, and so could you.

So ask yourself: What’s stopping you from joining them?

Don’t let it be the fact that you’re unfamiliar with the site. Once upon a time, you were unfamiliar with Medium as well. When you first joined this site:

You watched and observed what other members were doing.

Do that on Fiverr.

You read how to create not just a better story, but a more lucrative one.

Do that on Fiverr.

You improved and got better, and before you knew it, you felt more confident.

Do that on Fiverr.

You have a better chance at success, because you don’t have to spend a lot of time on the website, and it has nothing to do with interacting with anyone there, or trying to gain their friendship, admiration or support.

It is merely a marketplace where buyers and sellers go to connect and transact business. Once you actually set everything up, the only time you need to spend there is checking for purchase orders you need to fill.

Cha Ching!

Final Thoughts

Now that your creative juices are probably flowing, you’re probably thinking of all the different ways you can benefit from this site.

Remember, the more of these services that you create an ad for and use to promote yourself, the more chances of being super visible and gaining customers.

So what will you do? Do you want to get started on writing your first ad for Fiverr?
