3 Ways You Can Profit From Giving Your Writing Away
I recently made an important discovery that I just couldn't wait
to share. You can make money by giving your writing away. Yes,
it really is true.
This isn't some "get rich overnight" scheme or some trick to get
you to lay out a bunch of money for a "turn key business". You
have to do the work yourself and it will take some time to set
everything in place -- but anyone with an elementary grasp of
the English language can make this work!
Giving your writing away to web sites, blogs, ezines, and
newsletters can really make you some serious cash on the
internet and I'm not joking. I have been writing professionally
for two decades and I never thought I'd make more by writing for
free but I am.
In fact, I make more money giving my writing away than I did
selling my articles and columns. That's right. The truth is that
I'm making more money writing part-time for free than I did in
any of my full-time paid writing jobs and that includes advances
and royalties from the publication of three novels.
There are three ways I profit from giving my writing away. They
aren't secrets and you can use them profitably as well:
~ Traffic for my web sites and blogs (I've seen traffic
triple within a week from some articles)
~ Reputation building for me and my online enterprises
which helps
attract clients, customers, and visitors
~ Profit for my advertisers and for me through sales of
my own products as well as affiliate income
It really is not a difficult or complicated business model and
one any competent writer, or anyone with the ability to string a
decent sentence together, could replicate or modify to suit
their purpose. I am a writer not a business person, but I know
this is working for me and that it could work for you, too.
And let me share one last terrific benefit of this writing
business -- you can write whatever you want. You aren't
dependent on some editor's whim or assignment. You don't need to
worry about tightly focusing your work to fit within a
publication's editorial guidelines. You are in total control --
you write to suit yourself in terms of topic, approach, and
tone. And you'll make more money doing that then you ever did
when you tried to write for someone else. I promise!
Now go out there and give your writing away!
