On Etrade you would need to know/select the following:
Type in the symbol of the stock you are trying to write a put for.
Select your order type (buy open, sell open, buy close, sell close)
Select the number of contracts you want (1 contract = 100 shares in the underlying stock)
Select type ( call or PUT ) ** select put
Select expiration ( 1 month, 2 mo., 3 mo., etc.) How long do you want to hold onto the contracts before they expire?
Select Strike price (Strike price of a put is the price at which you sell the stock)
Select Price Type (market, limit, stop, stop limit, and trailing stop $)
Select term ( preselected if you select market as Good for the day)
Each of these has to be filled based on your personal decisions. There are many different strategies on how and when to buy or sell, but in the end you should make your own educated decision.

Call option and put option?
A call option allows its purchaser to buy ("call in") stocks at a certain price on a certain date--say, 100 shares of Walmart for $50 on November 1. A put option allows its purchaser to sell ("put") stocks on a certain price for a certain date. The seller of the option has to buy them (in a put) or sell them (in a call) if the option is exercised.
What is the difference between writing a call option and buying a put option?
In both cases, you will have to provide the stocks to the counterparty if the option is exercised. There are two differences. First is the nature of the option. Calls are exercised when the stock spot price exceeds the call's strike price. Puts are exercised when the stock spot price is below the put's strike price. The other is, if you write a call you don't get to decide whether it gets exercised--the buyer does. If you buy a put, the choice to exercise it is yours.

Difference between put option and call option?
The holder/purchaser/owner of a call option contract has the right to buy an asset (or call the asset away) from a writer/seller of a call option contract at the pre-determined contract or strike price. The holder/purchaser/owner of a call option contract expects the price of the underlying asset to rise during the term or duration of the call contract, for as the value of the underlying asset increases so does the value of the call option contract. Conversely, the write/seller of a call option contract expects the price of the underlying asset to remain stable or to decline. The holder/purchaser/owner of a put option contract has the right to sell an asset (or put the asset) to a writer/seller of a put option contract at the pre-determined contract or strike price. The holder/purchaser/owner of a put option contract expects the price of the underlying asset to decline during the term or duration of the put contract, for as the value of the underlying asset declines the contract value increases. Conversely, the writer/seller of a put option contract expects the price of the underlying asset to remain stable or to rise.
