Hello blackhatters! Happy quarantine.

So I've had a lot of difficulty making a decision and I want your input on this.

I spent most of last year writing and I got feedback that I'm better than average with room for improvement. I got a couple of gigs and wrote at least 500 articles in 2019, these were short time opportunities so they aren't available anymore. Naturally I'm looking for a way to continue earning from this skill but the pandemic happened and my mindset has drifted towards a lot of things.

Now I'm considering how to get back on track and these are the ideas in my head.

1. Freelancer/Fiverr profiles: I have profiles here but they are just empty with nothing offered. I'm thinking to repurpose them towards the writing niche, but I also need to buy reviews?? or something to get clients...

2. Build a site and blog: I could build a site and just start blogging about a niche. Seems AA sites are a safe bet but there's just so much to consider SEO-wise.

3. Joint Venture: Find someone who is building and write for them. This, to me, is much easier than building a site and handling all the work by myself. I would only have to work on the articles.

4. Approach a thread seller: what if I wrote for a thread seller? Surely, with the amount of review copies and work they get, they're always gonna welcome new competent hands right?

I expect to spend some money so I'm looking at a starting budget of 100 USD. For idea 3 or 4, I'd need to be a Jr. VIP at the very least. Considering BHW has an active community, I'm hoping to get some sound advice. I'm also open to new ways of utilizing writing to make some money!

Thank you for your time and response

Which country are you from and how much would be classed as a living wage?
 
"I got feedback that I'm better than average with room for improvement."

What is average to one guy might be a pile of dung to another guy, but the best ever to a third person.

Did the person who give you feedback happen to be a native English speaker?

Get onto Fiverr etc and float prices, if the quality is good enough you'll get orders.
 
At Fiverr/etc you must buy reviews or make from your stealth accounts. Don't use the same PayPal etc to avoid banning.
Fake it 'til you make it.
After making some money go to next level like site/blog etc.

Thank you, yes I will seriously have to fake it to make it.

Which country are you from and how much would be classed as a living wage?

I'm in Nigeria, a decent living wage would be around 100 dollars a month.

Yes feedback was from native English speakers, I also got an article published on opensource.com

So it's better to focus on Fiverr? Someone else suggested the same, you're a mod so your opinion carries double the weight obviously
