Since the internet is mainly a text medium, you will most likely need to write in some way, to communicate or relate with others with text on the internet, but if you wish to make money online, a lot of the opportunities you may get for making money on the internet, will actually require more writings than just what you may need, to communicate through emails or chats.

Some proven online income streams include selling a product, service or advertising, doing freelance writing (a part of freelancing services, you can provide online), writing product reviews, giving expert advices for a fee, and creating content for the content revenue sharing sites, each one of these income streams, will require that you know how to write, rather well indeed.

If you choose to sell online (that is, a product, service or advertising), you will need to promote either your website or blog; and as part of your promotional activities, you may also need to create some content (write-ups or articles) too on your site/blog and for your promotions, that is, if you cannot afford to outsource them. To do freelance writing and write product reviews for money, you will need to be able to write too, and giving expert advices for a fee, may also require that you write, in some very concise manner that others can easily understand. And creating content for the content revenue sharing sites, is mostly about what you write, and how well you can write.

You will need some well-written and quality content for these type of income streams, if you wish to present a professional outlook with your site/blog, and would want to make some sales/revenue through it too, amateurish/unprofessional looking websites/blogs, generally do not encourage online sales. You will also need some quality writings too, if you want your clients to call on you again with their projects/jobs as a freelance writer, product reviewer or expert adviser. Not everyone will be able to write very well however; some of us will therefore need some other type of income streams, to make money on the internet, without having to do so much writing.

Some of what you can do online with minimal writings include graphic design, becoming a virtual assistant, posting and submitting ads or content for others, providing phone or customer support etc. Most of these are freelancing jobs, tasks or projects you can readily do, through some outsourcing or freelancing sites on the internet. You may not need to write so much to do any one of these, but you will still need to be able to communicate rather well though, through email or any other medium you may have chosen, to liaise with your clients online, in order to get the job done. And you will need to be able to do the job or task rather well too, if you want your clients to call back again.

You may start with a less-intensive-writing income stream to make money online, but if you truly wish to get more opportunities on the internet, you may want to learn how to write. What you will need is to know how to write fluently, in a most common language used on the internet, for example, you could learn how to write well/better in English. You may learn how to write, in some specific language on the internet through books, ebooks, e-classes/e-courses etc. You may try to see if you can get some valuable resources to do this for free online, or you may have to use a paid resource, as a viable option.

The more knowledge and skill you have, the more opportunities you are likely to get for making money on the internet, you may therefore want to add the ability to write, to your other skills too.
