Q: How to find content writing gigs or how to earn from content writing?

A: So there are so many methods one of the method has been already discussed which is working on medium.com which can make you earn more and other method is to contact different bloggers through social media platforms, if bloggers are running a huge platform they will surely need content writers and same as some of marketing agencies do need content writers, reach out to them they will ask for your sample, show them your blog but do not send your sample directly to any company.

Tell them to visit your blog and go through it. So they can't copy your article as you know that samples are not  usually posted on blogs so make sure first that if it's published on your blog or not before sending it to anyone.

You can earn 100Rs to 10000Rs, For writing 500 to 700 words per article.

So this is the manual method to reach out bloggers and companies through social media but you can go to website as well if you want to earn through content writing e.g Fiverr.com, Upwork.com, freelancer.com, you can create your profile on these platforms, so that you can start giving your services to them.

Initially you can start earning 100Rs to 150Rs per article to enhance your skills, to make your sort of authority and to create your own samples then your career will eventually grow day by day as a content writer. So within a year you could really sustain yourself in that income and could really become a full time content writer to earn on high scale.
