Lela Davidson, whose hilarious blog After the Bubbly is on our nwaMotherlode blogroll, will be teaching a class about writing online AND making some money while you’re at it.
Writing online content is a great way to hone your writing craft, get published, and make money. Lela left a traditional job to begin writing online in 2006. This 3-hour course covers the basics of where to find writing jobs (and determine if they are legitimate or a scam), how to write the most common types of web content, apply for work, and find your niche.
Students also learn about the various types of revenue streams available to online writers, as well as how to use free blogging software as an online resume of your work. This class is designed for beginning and experienced writers.
Classes will be held at John Brown University Rogers Campus, 2807 Ajax Avenue (same class, two opportunities):
Tuesday 8/24, 6-9 p.m.
OR
Saturday 8/28, 9-noon
