Get Smart – make money writing online

Are you making money writing online? I hope you are.

There’s never been a better time to be a writer. Rather than waiting years, serving a long apprenticeship, and collecting a shoebox full of rejection slips, you can start making money immediately.

Get started and write

Although there are untold opportunities available to you, you may be hesitating.

Don’t hesitate. Take the plunge. The online world is very different from writing for print. It’s all about production and promotion.

I’ve been advising my writing students: “Create and Promote!” for years.

You must do both. Without creation, you have nothing to sell. And unless you promote yourself, you’ll spend way too long at the bottom of the Web writing hierarchy, and may even get stuck there.

Here’s how to get smart:

* Create a blog

A blog forces you to write. It’s a commitment. Your blog also forces you to THINK. Yes, you can use other writers as models, but what works for others may not work for you. Create your own pathway to success: your blog will help you.

* Find out what you ENJOY writing

I enjoy writing ebooks and copywriting. After many years of dealing with publishers and agents, writing and selling ebooks is pure joy and relaxation for me.

I enjoy copywriting because it’s both an intellectual challenge, and fun to play with the emotive potential of words and ideas.

Your mileage may vary. There’s so many ways you can make money online, just by writing, so find what you really enjoy, and write that.

Here’s a message I’ve just received from a member (published with permission):

Hi Angela

Thanks for your great advice on conquering the out-sourcing sites. You won’t believe what’s happened. I’ve just signed up with a site to provide 12 ebooks – yes, 12!! Over the next 12 months… at a great rate.

Please thank Julia too, for showing me how to fix the writing terms.

Now I’ve got steady work, I can hand in my resignation at my job – you know what’s been happening there. I’m glad to finally leave it all behind and WRITE!
