Making Money From Academic Writing Online
"Are you still doing that online thing?" This is a question I have heard time and time again. Yes, I work online, and yes I make money from writing. "But writing is so hard!" often I hear people say. No, it's not. We write every single day. Think of the text messages you send to your friends, relatives, or even co-workers, think of you browsing the internet, think of you Facebooking or Instagramming! that is writing!
However, one of the main ways to make money from writing is academic writing. Academic writing is a type of writing where you write well-formatted and researched papers. In this type of writing, you have to be clear about what you mean! Thus you should have a mastery or at least an understanding of the language you are using to write your papers. Furthermore, you have to structure and format your paper. But, most importantly, always write original work. Using another person's work, and posing it as your own is referred to as; plagiarism in academic writing. Plagiarism is a very serious offense. You have to learn how to construct your thoughts and present them in an original manner while giving credit to your sources. Sources used in academic writing are known as; scholarly sources. Scholarly sources are sources/journal articles/research papers, that have been written by professional people, who are experts in their fields.
To summarise, there are four main things you need to know about academic writing;
- Research
- Identifying Scholarly Sources
- structuring your paper
- writing in a clear and comprehensive manner
