How to make 3-4$ per hour?

Don't get discouraged by the comments. I work in retail, most of my customers are nice enough but a few are difficult to handle but some are upset because the cost of your writing is very expensive. Other offers who have gained trust and experience write 500 articles for 3$. Try to start small and don't expect that you will receive money right away because before they hire a content writer, they usually ask for samples first and evaluate your work.

I believe the some of the posters are really trying to help you, so take their advice in improving on your writing because no one will take you seriously if your posts are unprofessional . Right now I'm trying to find my old English textbooks in high school and repeating their exercises or looking at YouTube in getting free English lessons (Don't worry I'm not good at English either). We are at a disadvantage because we are not native English speakers but this shouldn't stop us in expanding our fields.

Also I'm relatively new here but I learned that IM is not what you can call stable. Few ever make it and some are still struggling after 2 years. Success stories are all well and good but very few are actually true because some of them are trying to make a quick buck in a more subversive manner. There are methods here but most of them only cater to US or European markets and that is why, like myself, are trying to find ways to get in to the market. Many of Non-USA countries invest in proxies or VPN but this is also a gamble because you may get banned so I try to see the reviews first for any technical problems.

My advice is try to search in IM journey threads relating to content writers or watch your competition. For example there is a business that write 500 worded articles that assures that it will get a ton of views, can you compete with them? Also don't focus only on BHW for advice, try searching for other forums but remember their rules and etiquette. If your good at your academics you can try in tutoring but they want to see first your transcript of records.

Just keep reading and gather as much information as possible while working (that is what I'm doing right now). I know some scoff at 5 dollars because they have a high cost of living in the states but like you 5 dollars here is having a meal 3x a day. Understand that some members are tired of seeing how can get $XXX in a day threads because they already answered to some of the threads. Before offering any services, always look at the competition and make sure that you can out do them or at least offer something unique.Don't let your temper or frustration get the better of you, some may ridicule you but if you truly believe that you can improve I'm praying for your success.

If you ever offer copywriting services I'll be the first in line.
 
The OP should pursue a variety of freelancing avenues, in order to have enough available work. Join ELance/ODesk, set up Fiverr gigs, answer ads on active freelancer subforums like the one on BHW, etc. Study the download shares offered here, or tutorials on YouTube to learn to perform skills that are in demand in the IM world.

Set up a web site that displays samples of your work (and your current rates) to show to potential clients. In answering freelancing ads you might consider offering to do the task for half the going rate, in order to initially establish yourself (and to compensate for a lack of experience or quality).
 
Yes, you are right. I have to think about competitors first..
Thank you very much. This is really good and helpful info.
I have got tired of reading the whole para lol but you have manually written it all that?
i am thinking to call business owners who does not have a website and i will make it for them in wordpress. I want some recurring commission from hosting. Is it possible. Like i will refer them to buy hosting from my referral link and majority of business owners didn't know abcd of hosting.Few may even didn't know what is domain or hosting. So is there anything like if they continue to pay for hosting every month, i get recurring commission??
 
Checkout Elance or ODesk. You should be able to find some VA or social media management work for that rate.
Just be clear on the person's job requirements and be very detailed in your work. Nothing drives me up the wall more than VAs who head off doing the wrong task or send me back a job riddled with errors that I basically have to redo.
i already have my profile on elance but till now nobody had contacted me for any job role.
