** New Writing Opportunity "Beat Your Paycheck! Web Writing SECRETS" **

"How Make More Money With Web Writing Than You Ever Will With A Paycheck... In A Month Or Less"

Even if you're a new writer, you can make enough money from Web writing to leave your day job - fast.

As a writing teacher, I work with new writers every day. Many would love to leave their day job, but they don't yet have the skills to write copy for corporate clients, or for national magazines. Writing in your home office seems like a dream. Many promising writers give up writing because their lives are too busy - with a full-time job and family, they're too tired to write.

If this describes YOU, I've found a solution. I asked a new writer who's making great money writing for the Web to share his secrets. He's happy to do so. Read my new ebook.

[Editorial] Become A Marketing Dynamo - It's The Secret To A GREAT Writing Career



Hi - I hope you're having a great writing week.

How's your marketing? If you're a good marketer, you'll see your writing income not just rising, but doubling and tripling each year.

Is this possible? Yes, it is.

Marketing Is The Only REAL Secret To A Fantastic Freelance Income



I correspond with writers who aren't selling, or who are making very little money, every day. I could compress my advice into a single word: "Market". Marketing skills are the only difference between a writer who's not selling, or is selling to tiny markets which pay in tiny amounts, and writers who are making a great income, and whose income goes up every month.

Great writers are great marketers of their writing. They have to be. Many writing venues are crowded. With some 150,000 books published in English each year, and magazine markets struggling as the Internet captures more advertising dollars, marketing your writing needs to be something that you do every day, as a matter of course.

This week's article lets you in on some of the secrets of using marketing and developing a highly lucrative writing career. Writing well is a skill that few people have, so you deserve to be well-compensated for the time you invest in learning how to write. Marketing ensures that as you become known, you can charge more for your work.

I should add - it's much more fun to be well paid than to be struggling. And there's no excuse for struggling in these boom times for writers. So if you're serious about wanting a six-figure income, and the security for your family that a high income brings, look to marketing.

My ebook "You CAN Sell Your Writing Now: Marketing Skills For Writers" teaches you essential marketing skills.

This week's issue is early, because the Easter holiday is coming up. I wish you a lovely break with your family and friends. Have fun, and stay safe.

Affectionately,

Angela

** Are you making enough money writing? **

Or is your writing just a hobby, costing you more in computers, Internet connection fees and writing supplies than you're earning?

The Secret, Unlimited Market For Your Writing Which Generates A Fantastic Writing Income

I'll let you in to a secret. The top earners in writing are copywriters. That is, commercial writers - they write for businesses. (Writing for business is known as copywriting.)

* The Unlimited Writing Market, The Web **

When you write for the Web, you're never out of writing work. All Web sites need writers, and as the competition online grows, site owners hire writers to improve their sites.

The writing world in general hasn't caught up with the Web. Now, YOU can -- and you can cash in. Freelance writers just don't realize how much money there is to be made by writing for the Web: many writers use the Web as a research tool, they don't see the Web as a mass of millions of markets. They don't realize that Web sites are STARVED for good writers.

* Article: Writing Success - Five Secrets To Developing A Great Writing Career



(c) 2007 Angela Booth


Every writer's career has two aspects: the writing, and the marketing of your writing. It's vitally important that you realize this as early in your writing career as possible. If you don't, your career will languish in the doldrums. In 2007, there are more opportunities for writers than there have ever been, but you'll only see the opportunities if you know how to look for them.

In this article, we'll discuss five secrets which will turn you into a marketing dynamo. Please take them seriously. Apply them every day. If you do, your creative opportunities will expand, and your writing life will be fun, as well as lucrative.


Secret One: Spend As Much Time Marketing And Promoting As You Do Writing

This is the primary secret of writers who make great incomes. They market their writing extensively. Not only do they spend as much time marketing their work as they do writing, they're aware that marketing brings them opportunities.

You have many ways you can market your writing - with a Web site, a blog, news releases, newsletters, ezines and articles. As your career develops you can even out-source your marketing.


Secret Two: Measure Your Results When You're Marketing


You need a way to track your results. Web sites and blogs make it easy to track your site's visitors, but you also need to make careful note of what you did and when. When you're marketing, it's a truism that from a standing start, all marketing activities take around three months to kick in, and to see ongoing, cumulative results.



Secret Three: Creating A Marketing Plan For Every Writing Project


You need a marketing plan for every project. Create the plan, with time lines, as you work on the project. If you're writing an article query, have a list of magazines and Web sites to which you'll submit the query. Then send the query out on a schedule. Give each market ONE WEEK, no longer, to consider your query.

If you're writing a book, each step of the book's sale needs its own marketing plan, from sending out query letters, to getting an agent, and promoting the book before it's published, and after publication.


Secret Four: Realize It's Not Rejection, It's Feedback

If you're bowled over by rejection, there's a major benefit of marketing - if you consistently market, not only will you ignore rejections, but you'll be completely unfazed by them. You'll see rejections for what they are: feedback.


Secret Five: Find A Hungry Market

It's easy to sell your writing to markets which are desperate for your words, much more difficult to sell to markets which are overloaded with material already. There are hungry markets (the Web, for one) and hungry markets make promoting your work fun and easy. However, if you're determined to sell to a specific market, no matter how crowded it is, go ahead. You can sell your writing anywhere, as long as you spend time marketing your writing.


So, there you have it - five secrets to writing success. If you're not having the writing success you should be enjoying, look to your marketing. You can and should be marketing as much as you're writing. There are many benefits to marketing, and a great income is only one of the benefits. When people know who you are and what you do, you'll be given opportunities which will thrill and amaze you. Enjoy your writing, AND your marketing.

** Your Writing Blog: Your Vital Sales And Promotions Tool For 2007 **

Gotta blog? My ebook, Writing Success with Blogs by Angela Booth, helps you to take the first steps into the new world for writers: instant publishing on blogs.

Your writers' blog is your must-have branding tool. It also has a very practical use - it's a writing portfolio. From the ebook: "Before editors will pay you to write, they want to know that you can write. They want clips - copies of material you've published. This seems like a Catch-22: you can only get published if you've been published. Your writing on your blog can be in lieu of clips. Your blog lets editors gauge your abilities and style, before they put down the cash."
