What you&rsquo;ll discover on the site:


* News - find out what&rsquo;s coming up in the ezine;


* A permanent home for bonus issues - previously, you had to contact me to get a bonus issue if you missed out on a freebie.   From now on, all downloads from bonus issues will be stored on the site;


* Frequently Asked Questions - check here first, if you have a question about something in the ezine.


Big point - I&rsquo;ve stopped archiving the ezine, so the only way you can get issues is by subscribing.

My new package, Copywriting Supremo: A Complete Copywriting Package - Write for All Forms of Media, and Make Money Fast, gives you everything you need to become a copywriter... fast.


Please note, that this package will only be available for a limited time.


Why?   Because with my Sell Your Writing Online NOW (SYWON) commitments, I&rsquo;m spending more time with students, so I have less time available.


If you&rsquo;re new to copywriting, I urge you to take advantage of this package; it&rsquo;s a complete course in copywriting for all forms of media.


Enjoy.   :-)

However, most writers are not sure how you get started making money writing Private Label Rights content.

Here's part of my response:


The beauty of writing books is that there are no restrictions as to age, sex, income, education, or personal experience.   Teens have written books, and so have older folks.


<br>


A publisher only cares about what's on the page, so anyone can write a book, and your only limits are those you put on yourself.


If you want to write a book, you can. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>How much money can you make when you write a book?</title><dc:creator>angela.booth@gmail.com</dc:creator><category>Write a book</category><dc:date>2007-10-24T10:49:51+10:00</dc:date><link>http://www.fabfreelancewriting.com/page60/files/book-money.php#unique-entry-id-5</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.fabfreelancewriting.com/page60/files/book-money.php#unique-entry-id-5</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[With my new author's membership site launching, I've had several messages asking this very question, so let's take a stab at answering it.


Brenda Hiatt has a "show me the money" section on her site which is well-researched and accurate.   For example:


Romance novels, for Avon/ HarperCollins earn out at:


Average advance (first book): $13,500 


Average advance (subsequent books): $24,000 


Advance range: $3500 - $100,000 


Standard royalty percentage: 8% 


Average earn-out: $26,000 Range: $7000 - $100,000


A small advance for a nonfiction book would be $20,000.   Of course, your advance may be much more, depending on the projected sales and how well your agent negotiates.


There are many, many variables when you write a book.   At the upper end of the pay scale, you've got JK Rowling, who's making billions from her Harry Potter series and the spin offs.


At the other end of the pay scale, you have authors who make a few thousand per book.


Publisher's Marketplace reports on book deals daily, in their Publishers Lunch.


So, how much can you make?   The short answer is that it depends on the book.   It's the long answer too, because as stated, there are many variables.


On my new membership site, we cover researching book deals and researching the market for YOUR book before you start writing.   There's no point in writing a book for which there's no market.   So if you're interested in writing a book and making money from it, join.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>New free copywriting report</title><dc:creator>angela.booth@gmail.com</dc:creator><category>Copywriting</category><dc:date>2007-10-24T10:43:15+10:00</dc:date><link>http://www.fabfreelancewriting.com/page60/files/free-report.php#unique-entry-id-4</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.fabfreelancewriting.com/page60/files/free-report.php#unique-entry-id-4</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Receive the "Copywriting Confidential: How To Become A Freelance Copywriter" report when you subscribe to New Copywriter Tips.
