Get known as a writer and get paid more

The latest issue of our Fab Freelance Writing Ezine is online.

Here’s an excerpt from the editorial:

It’s essential that you become known as a writer, because once you become known not only will you sell more, but you will also be paid more for everything that you write. It’s not by accident that the words “rich and famous” go together, nor is it an accident that actors court celebrity – every front page magazine cover adds another million or so to their fee for their next movie.

Years ago, Writers’ Digest magazine conducted the survey which suggested that around 10 per cent of the American population wanted to write. Isn’t the thought of all that competition enough to make your head spin?

Relax. It’s easy to ace the competition.

Professional freelance writers devote around half their time each week to promotional activities to do just that – to stay ahead of the competition. This is highly necessary. Because if you don’t devote this time, you will spend all your hours doing a low paid work. While this is fine that when you’re a beginner, it’s not so fine after your first year or two as a freelance writer – there are only so many hours in the day, and if you’re just selling your time, you might as well be working in an office cubicle. (Instead of propped up on the sofa, or in an armchair with Oprah droning away in the background as you write.)
