If you like real estate and writing, consider using it to build an income stream for yourself. You will probably not get rich, but you might make a respectable bit of money over time.
1. Start a website and put ads on it.
This requires a bit of Web savvy, but with today's web site creation software, not much. If you start with a plain, easy-to-navigate template, you can build it up into something accessible for the common man with a minimum of effort.
Then, go get yourself some ads. Google Adsense is a very popular format, which can be tweaked to jive with your website's color scheme. There are other ad sellers out there; find ones that you like and who like you and your site. Many require that you have a Paypal account or give up your real name and address to send you checks.
2. Start a blog about real estate and put ads on it
A blog is dynamic; it provides you with an easy interface to your readers and many come with easy-to-use software. You can put a blog on your website or start one on a blogging site like blogger.com. A blog that provides quality, original content is most likely to be popular and acquire regular readers.
Ads can come from many different sources. Google Adsense is one of the most popular, but there are many other companies that you can submit your blog to. Usually, if someone uses your blog as a portal to the ad, you can earn anywhere from a few cents to a few dollars.
3. Freelance write about real estate
If you have the knowledge and writing skill, freelance writing might be the income earner for you. There are blogs, newspapers, magazines and other publications that are looking for people who can write about real estate... if you are passionate and can convey your passion with the typed word, you could be setting yourself up for a lucrative career or part-time moneymaker.
4. Contract out as a Virtual Assistant to a real estate-related business or
individual
Virtual Assistants (VAs) are a growing demographic. They basically do anything and everything for their employer that doesn't need their corporeal presence. You could design websites, write articles, do research... it's whatever works for you and your boss.
5. Write a book
These days, people are eagerly snapping up the next real estate bible. You could market an e-book or go for the publishing world. A good resource is the yearly Writer's Market, which lists thousands of publishing markets for your manuscript. This is not a project to undertake to make money! Some people write for years before getting a book published; others never will see their manuscript in print. However, there are also those out there who have seen a decent return on the time they invest in their writing. Plus, the time you spend writing is never wasted for a writer. You will gain in writing skill and learn a lot about the book industry in general.
