Are you making as much money as you should be making with your freelance writing skills?
You can make more money than you believe possible, even in the current economic climate.
However, you need to be aware that writing for others is generally NOT the way to go if you want a six figure income and more. You need to realize that as a writer, you can use your writing skills on your own behalf.
Here are three tips which will help you.
1. Discover affiliate marketing
Affiliate marketing is one of the money-making tricks we teach you in Sell Your Writing Online NOW (SYWON).
Once you get into the swing of affiliate marketing, promoting affiliate products on your sites and blogs, your income will soar... passively. You can make money from articles you wrote months (and years) ago, while you sit on a beach, or deal with family issues.
Affiliate marketing is EASY, but you need to understand exactly how it works, and how to get the most from the promotional material you write. Once you know how it works, you could lose everything you possess, be dumped in a foreign country, and as long as you had access to an Internet connection, you could still make money.
2. Create your own ebooks to sell
Information sells online. If you're not writing and selling your own ebooks, you're missing out on pots of gold.
3. WRITE!
I get tired of saying this, because I say it many times a day to many writers: WRITE!
When writers approach me with "problems", somewhere along the line I'll ask them what they wrote today. The answer is enlightening, for them. Why? Because they haven't written a word today, nor yesterday, nor the day before.
Much as I love writers, sometimes I want to give them a good shake and remind them that writers write. The clue is in the word: "writer."
When you're a writer, you write: in the morning, in the afternoon, after the kids have gone to bed... You don't browse the Web, you don't watch TV, you don't moan -- when you do all these things rather than write, you're wasting good writing time.
Writing is a habit. Once you've developed your writing habit, you're a WRITER. Write every day. Write when you have an hour, and write when you have one minute. Never stop writing. As Samuel Johnson said: "A man may write at any time, if he will set himself doggedly to it." (Women too... :-))
Spread your wings as a writer. You're privileged to have writing talent: never take it for granted, and don't waste the immense opportunities you have.
