Let's Start With A Given
If you want to learn how to write for the internet you have to accept certain issues. First, every person, regardless of background, is a writer! We write every day. We complete forms, we write notes, we write short emails and letters -- we even text. Writing is a skill developed, often unconsciously. Our skill - controlled to some extent by talent - develops naturally. We grow, we change, we have experiences -- and we write during and about those experiences.
Relationships - That Is The Key
If you intend to write reviews for the internet you will have to do that through various grades of comparison. Relating one concept with another and that related concept to yet another. Think of the last news story you read - relationships. Think of the last novel you may have read or discussed. Relationships described again. Even true stories focus on relationships. You have the ability - it is developing every day.

But where to start. There are forums and chat rooms all over the internet. You will locate them just like you located this article. For forums, there is a "process" that you can use to get a list of what you want. In the internet browser type the word forum then type a + then the writing phrase describing your search. For example: "forum+how to write for the internet" (without the quotes) will give you a whole list of forums. You might come across a number that are a fit for your search. Take a look at forums like warrior forum it has some impressive threads that should excite the talent in you.
Writing Reviews For The Internet
Writing reviews for the internet produce some real opportunities. But you will find you are challenged to "think outside the box" when you apply yourself to some opportunities. For example, how about a review of the three best blue ray players? Don't panic, the pay comes when you convince the reader to actually select one over the other two players, buy it and have it shipped to them. Before you jump ship - here is the challenge - your skill of writing - and consequently the ability to convince in your writing has a score - the purchase! This writing, to be genuine will require research.
A skilled writer must interpret the information, compile it in an understandable language and syntax and be persuasive. You are challenged to persuade the reader to 1) continue reading, 2) because you know what you are talking about, 3) have struck that responsive cord in the reader's needs, wants or desires.
Copywriting For The Internet
You can also write for others to use the material on the internet. Reviews are just one of the options. There are travel, work, money making opportunities that many corporations will pay a skilled writer to compile and quickly deliver to them for a "launch".
To get this type of work you will have to tell people you're a copywriter. You will have to show you are affordable. Isn't this like writing reviews for the internet? Except now you are writing to convince the reader - you are the best available. Pick me! I will write you the very best copywriiting product on the internet.
In your write up you will describe your pricing. The experts will tell you to compete on quality and skill and not solely on price. People attribute "value" to what they are required to pay. Plus once they are convinced you are the one - it won't matter (within reason) how much you charge compared to the competition. You just need to deliver the most useful product. Does your writing convince? Does it communicate value of what you describe? Does it excite the readers? Do readers follow your lead? Do they act on your suggestion? Then the only way price as a topic is important is if you are more than a reasonable amount more expensive then the next best writer.
So compete on quality first - price second - you will find more clients and your will be better paid for your work.
Learn Your Craft
You can find a lot of help in schools, local writing groups as well as the internet itself. Go to those writer forums (search forum+writer training or forum+writing for profit). Don't wait to improve your skill. Forums are free. The many training materials are inexpensive compared to the revenue income you could look forward to once you find your niche.
