Writing for your own blog or for someone else ?

There are always 2 options for a writer. He can write for his own blog or website or he can write for someone else and earn instantly. It is a good idea to make a blog and write for your own blog but it takes some time to rank high in search engine. Your own blog can be the permanent source of income for you. If you write for someone else then they will pay you for the words and you will not be the owner of content after you get paid for it. So my suggestion is to write for yourself as it will be your own asset. What is your opinion about it.

Yeah I agree. I love being a paid writer since I get paid to express myself and share my knowledge with the world. For what it's worth! Sure, I only get paid one time for that, then after that, the content is theirs forever and they will go on to monetise that content and have it pay back 100x+ what they paid for it. And I'm cool with that since it's only words I wrote and it didn't take anything more than punching some keys on the keyboard and I'm paid for my time anyway. But more than that, even if they don't denote and give kudos to the original author, I still get the self satisfaction of knowing that it was me that wrote that content.

Look at people who build bridges. There might be a bridge that you cross everyday. You don't know the people that built it, but somewhere out there, there's a guy that can say, I helped to build that bridge, I popped those rivets in. And he got paid for the work he done. And so, he has that, and he has that self satisfaction knowing that his work has helped millions of people get from one place to another.

And that's sort of how it is for a freelance writer today too. He/she gets paid for his writing, and then he/she knows that that content was created by them and will go on to help people. Whether it's the blogger and his/her blog, or the people that read it!

Writing for your own blog or for someone else ?

But yeah, a good writer should also write for their own blog/site/forum or whatever. As well as write for other people too. And a good freelance writer, shouldn't not write for someone just because they're only paid once for that content. Besides, that is just paid work. But I do get your sentiment.

Wonderful article by the way.. I would most surely write my own blog because to me it give me more creative freedom to express myself and no one will give me their opinion on my material because I'm strongly independent in my thinking.. Other than that why create a brilliant piece and let someone else take credit for it..

Actually, there is a third way. You can write on another person's blog to get a link to your own blog. In that way, you are helping yourself out, even though, your not making cash. Anway, it's called guest blogging and sometimes you might have to pay to do it, but the SEO result can be worth it.

It is a business deal. You can write for someone else and get paid instantly.You can invest some time and money for your blog and write content in it but for this, you would have to wait for many months or a year to start getting revenue from it.

I have been unable to get out of this thing. If will write for myself then I would have to wait for the right time to come. I can't sit and wait to get revenue from my new site as I have to earn to bear my expenses. How would I spend these months without having money.I always have been facing this problem and never been able to start my own blog or website.

I currently write for my 3 blogs and make some monthly money writing for a client. Besides the money, I give a lot of value to the learning, because every new article I learn new subjects and this is priceless for me.

I'm doing both at the moment but writing for someone else is the more lucrative one because you're assured of payment regardless of the result. On the other hand, you can craft good posts on your blog and still earn nothing. While I certainly can't use the content I've provided for others, I can still rewrite it and use it for my blog or sell it again to another client which means that I don't really lose when I give the client full authority over my work. These two aren't mutually exclusive and you can always maintain a blog while writing for clients.

I current write for my own blog. To be honest at times I don't even find the time to write on my blog. Many people have suggested me to hire a writer but I prefer to write my articles by myself. I don't earn that much from my blog but I do make some money at least. Moreover I enjoy writing and I can say that this is my hobby.

After writing for many people for a long time, I launched my own blogs two years ago. However, earning revenue from my blog was really difficult. Therefore, I continued to write for clients. Now that my blogs are two years old and they have started pulling decent traffic, I think I will stop writing for clients with some exceptions, though. I will only write if the project offers very good money and is short term. I don't want to spend too much time on a single project.

I would do both at the same time. A blog takes longer to earn you some income but once you are there, you are never going back. I would also prefer to write for someone since I do not intend to own each content and I won't mind losing the ownership if money is want I really want to make.

That's what I am doing. usually, I write for others. When there are no writing jobs available, I write for my blogs. If I continue to write on my blogs and stop writing for others, it might be profitable in the long run but I will lose an income stream. By only writing for other, you might earn a lot of money, however, when you do not get writing offers, you will have no earning opportunities.

I once was commissioned to be a co-blogger, that is writing blogs for someone. But the difference with a ghost writer whose name is secret, a co-blogger has his name as the author of his published articles. I had no idea about blogging and I have to admit that I learned the ins and outs of blogging from that experience. And now that I have the knowledge, I am confident that I can handle my own blog. The only obstacle that is holding me is the availability of time that I can spare for my planned blogs because I have a full time job as of now.

I bet you can write for your own blog, it just takes some time, practice and perseverance. However, if you're a student, it's a different study. Practice is good, but what is even better is learing from the best - the same happened to me, when I asked to write my personal statement for me. It saved me a lot of time and gave me some great insight on what I knew and did not known. Use it! It's only pro's
