5 Types Of Writing Services You Can Offer

By Marenda Taylor


When it comes to offering writing services, there are lots of different ways to generate more revenue, both through writing and other value-added services. In this article we're going to look at five ways you can make more money by expanding your writing services.

Of all the services you can provide, the most obvious is simply writing. Whether you're writing web content, ebooks or other types of content, you're doing a service for people who don't have time to write or just aren't interested in doing it themselves.

You can add a number of additional services to your offerings, mind you. One of the most complementary is market research.

If you are offering article writing as a service, you could also include keyword and market research along with it. Instead of simply writing a bunch of articles based on a list of topics you receive from your client, you could handle the entire process - research the keywords/topics, find good affiliate offers, write the articles, etc.

Customers looking for web content may also be interested in article spinning services. Whether or not you personally believe in using spun content, plenty of people do use it as part of their content strategy.

Why not make spinning an add-on service for your articles? It can be a time consuming process, so many marketers will pay well for a spinning service if you can provide high-quality spins.

On a similar note, you could also offer graphics and web design services to compliment your writing. Rather than simply write a report for someone, you could write the report, create a minisite layout, make cover graphics and various other things.

If you're not a graphics person yourself, you could even sub-contract this work out to an outsourcer. Good writers are typically harder to find than graphics designers, partly because of language barriers, so you can often earn a profit on this work by outsourcing it and marking up the cost when you pass it on to your customer.

Look at the entire marketing funnel, not just the writing itself. You can find plenty of additional services you can offer your customers this way. With a little work, you could become a one-stop shop for all their content creation needs.
