How to Write Anything and Get PAID For It
A Beginner’s Guide to Freelance Writing
From Your Home!
OVERVIEW
Have you ever heard the expression, "everyone has a book in
them that's trying to get out?" What does this really
mean? Not everyone writes books, do they?
No, not many attempt the long, difficult process of writing
a book-length manuscript. But a growing number of
individuals are being paid for their writing -- and they've
never attempted to write a book!
Why? Think about it! When you're driving to work in the
morning, listening to the radio, what do you hear? People
talking, right? It may surprise you that very little of
that talk is spontaneous. The radio people work from
written material, which means ...? Yes, someone has to
WRITE the information down to be read over the airwaves.
Here's another example. Your mother's birthday is coming
up. What do you do? You buy a card. Did you ever wonder
who wrote the cards you look through when you're search-ing
for the right message? Well, it's not a big company where
people sit around all day writing cards. The writers of
greeting cards could live next door to you since most of
the material is submitted on a freelance basis.
How about your mail? Do you have days when you receive an
endless amount of junk mail? Letter after letter of come-
ons trying to get you to respond are not always thrown out.
Some people read them and do inquire about the product or
service mentioned. More importantly, those letters and
flyers are WRITTEN ... by someone!
You're getting the idea -- that writing is a common part of
everyday business life. From the brochures telling you
about savings accounts down at your local bank to the
billboard you drive by every morning on the way to work to
the bumper stickers you read on the back of the cars in
front of you ... all of this is written by somebody. Why
couldn't it be you?
Writing is an essential part of everyday life. There are
scores of opportunities waiting out there for anyone
interested in making some money through the written word.
It's not just Stephen King and Danielle Steele. Many of
today's successful freelance writers are completely unknown
simply because their name doesn't appear on their work.
Yet you see it every day from television commercials to
newspaper advertising.
