[Editorial] Unlimited Freelance Writing Opportunities - Write And Prosper

Hi, fellow writer. Welcome to another issue, I hope you’re having a great writing week.

If you’re new to the freelance writing business, you may be confused about just where to put your energies. How do you get started - and especially, how do you write and sell, without dealing with the disappointment of rejection? I’m not a big fan of rejection myself, not even in the name of “paying your dues”, so I’m all for helping writers to avoid it.

In this issue, I’ll cover some of the many writing opportunities available now, which you can pursue wholeheartedly, and in which people welcome knowing a writer they can count on. This week’s article “Your Unlimited Freelance Writing Opportunities - Which Will You Choose?” guides you.

* Email Hassles - Please Add The Ezine To Your Whitelist

On a housekeeping note, I’m sorry if you’re missing out on issues, it’s the dreaded filters. Although sp*m filters are becoming better, they’re also tossing out lots of legitimate email. If you’re missing any issues, or have emailed me and haven’t received a reply, the culprit is ALWAYS a sp*m filter. Check your Junk folder regularly, and add the people from whom you want to receive mail to your email program’s Whitelist.

Your weekly issue hits your Inbox on Wednesday - or Tuesday, depending on where you are in the world. Check the ezine’s new site to read issues online - each week’s issue will be online by Friday (except for bonus issues, which are email-only) here, in the ezine’s archives.

Until next time, keep writing.

Affectionately,

Angela

* 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: Your Unlimited Freelance Writing Opportunities - Which Will You Choose?

The writing world is changing fast. If you’re limiting your opportunities to a single writing market, like magazines, you’re missing out. In this article I’ll give you an overview of opportunities for writers, both new and experienced. Remember, this is only an overview. It would take a book to cover all the opportunities.

Let’s Start With Your Hourly Rate - Place A Monetary Value On Your Time

I know many writers who never consider their hourly rate. They have no idea how much they’re earning for the hours they spend writing. Yes, some of them love writing, and would do it for nothing anyway, but this is scarcely the way to develop as a writer, or to become successful.

Everyone’s time is limited, we all get the same 24 hours. Therefore, you need to set a monetary value on your writing time. When you’re starting out, you can set a minimal rate, like $30 per hour. With some writing experience, and writing credits, you will be charging more, anywhere from $100 to $300 an hour.

Once you take your hourly rate into account, you soon realize that there’s lots of time for which you can’t charge. If you’re writing queries and proposals for example, this is unpaid writing time, and that time is gone forever. Writing queries and proposals to markets like magazines therefore cuts severely into any writer’s income.

I like to be paid for the work I do, with a retainer before I start. I hate writing fruitless queries and proposals, and doing work “on spec”, so I don’t do it, ever. If you’re like me and hate no-profit busy-work, there are two opportunities which pay you a retainer before you start writing - copywriting and Web writing.

Copywriting Opportunities: Writing For Business - An Ever-Growing Demand

Every business needs to market itself, or it won’t be in business for long. Copywriters write for businesses, chiefly marketing collateral, which can be anything from product descriptions to brochures and newsletters. The best way to start out as a copywriter is to write for local businesses, because you’ll usually be the first copywriter who’s ever approached a business. When you’ve built your writing credits, you can write for businesses across the globe.

As stated, I enjoy copywriting because this is paid writing - a business establishes its bone fides by paying a retainer, and most businesses have work for you several times a year. With some clients, you become a de facto member of staff, writing for them weekly.

Web Writing: Explosive Growth, High Demand - Great Opportunities

Web sites are vital to a business because they lower a business’s costs. Since Web sites need writers - the Web is built on words - you can see that the writing opportunities are massive, and they continue to grow. If you can write for the Web, you can name your price as a writer.

Web writers are divided into Web copywriters, who write Web sales material, and Web content writers, who write everything else. You don’t need to choose between these two opportunities, you can write both copy and content for the Web.

Take Advantage Of The Massive Opportunities In Copywriting And Writing For The Web, And Prosper

Copywriting and Web writing are packed with opportunities for you, even as a new writer. Once you become known for what you do, you’ll have clients who eagerly approach you to work for them. This is the best of all possible worlds for a writer - great money, fun writing opportunities, and no rejection, ever.

** Discouraged Because Your Writing’s Not Selling? **

In today’s world, there are vast opportunities for writers. In the midst of all this dazzling plenty, some writers are stuck. Frankly, they don’t know how to sell themselves as writers - that is, how to promote their skills. Nor do they know how to sell the words they’ve written.

My new ebook “You CAN Sell Your Writing Now: Marketing Skills For Writers” shows you exactly how to compete and win all the contracts you want in today’s writing marketplace.

** 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.
