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 websites, 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 websites 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 by 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 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 than you ever did when you tried to write for someone else. I promise!
Now go out there and give your writing away!
