Writing for the Web – are you taking advantage of the unlimited opportunities?

As writers, we’re focused on the written word. However, this intense focus can lead to blindness. We get very focused on whatever it is that we’re writing, to the exclusion of other forms of writing – more profitable forms, in many cases.

I know that that’s been true for me, and I imagine that it’s true for you as well.

So, I encourage you to look around, and take notice of the unlimited opportunities the Web gives to writers.

And no, when I say “unlimited opportunities” I’m not using hyperbole.

For example, here’s a brand new opportunity: video.

Read this article. YouTube Founder Compares Online Video To Nascent TV Market:

“From the printing press to the blog, from the record player to the iPod, and from the stage to the home theater, the way content has been produced, distributed and consumed in the world is constantly evolving.”

Videos need writers – are you capitalizing on this new trend?

If you can write an article, chances are that you can write a video script. You can steal a march on thousands of other writers by writing some sample scripts, getting them produced, and posting them on YouTube as samples of your script writing.

(If you don’t know how to create a video ask a teenager.)

I just did a Google search for “writer video scripts”.

Know what I found? Lots of people looking for script writers via job postings, but no writer who’s actually promoting himself/ herself as a script writer.

This could be a great opportunity for you.

You may know that I’ve recently started producing a weekly podcast and videos for writers. It’s a lot of fun.

So if you’re looking for a way to stand out from the writing pack — think about writing video scripts. I promise you there’s work for you now, and for years to come.

Writing video scripts is just one of the opportunities which are constantly developing for writers on the Web. Discover more of them in the Sell Your Writing Online NOW (SYWON) training.
