  • Crash Course in Two Online Business Models for Writers
    Writers have great opportunities to earn a living or at least a second income online, but only if they first understand the basic business models for online writing. There are really only two, if you take it in broad strokes. And just about any writer can learn to work either model!
  • What Every Writer Has to Know about the Internet and the New Writing Business Model

  • Six Ways to Find Clients for Your Freelance Writing Business
    Writing is an unusual profession and one that many feel will never generate full-time wages.

For those willing to attack the problem, there really has never been a better time to be a writer.

  • A Few Secrets to Freelance Writing Success (That Have Nothing to Do With Writing!)
    A good writer does not automatically become a successful freelance writer simply by wanting to become one. Freelance writing requires discipline, consistency, and a few tricks of the trade. If you can think about writing as a business rather than a passion or a calling, and you have the discipline to maintain regular business hours, you may have what it takes to have a successful career as a freelance writer.
  • Writers, Don't Waste Time on the Wrong Niches in Online Writing
    Writers who want to work online often approach niches like writing topics, but that can be misleading! An ink-and-paper writer seeks the scoop, the untold story. But for online projects, it is much better to create a website or information product that taps into a pre-existing online community. In other words, finding a busy niche and a lot of competition can be a good thing for a successful online writing venture!
  • Secrets of Writing for Money: Should You Specialize in One Subject or Be a Writing-Generalist?
    Professional writers can specialize in a narrow field of expertise or they can be generalists, writing about anything and everything. While most writers like to be generalists and think it offers better opportunities, the fact is that it is the specialist writer who stands the better chance of succeeding as a professional writer.
  • Secrets of Earning a Living as a Writer
    Not only is it still possible for a person to earn a good living as a writer, there are opportunities available today for writers that hold unique promise. However, writing is a business and needs to be treated like a business. For those willing to do the right things, there has probably never been a better time to be a writer.
  • The Savvy Writer's Guide to How the World Has Changed in the Last Five Years
    Johannes Gutenberg changed the world with movable type press; the world has been changed in our own lifetime by the Internet. Both events impact writers. For the savvy writer willing to learn new skills and pioneer a whole new way of doing things, online work is a great bonanza. Writers who prefer the ink-and-paper world, be warned. Things are changing!
  • How A Writer Can Take Advantage of Internet Commerce
    Writers who sell words for a living often miss out on great business opportunities because they do not understand the Internet. Understanding online business is not that difficult, but it does take some new skills (which can be learned) and a new way of thinking about writing.
  • Is This Really Any Time to be a Writer?
    Writing is a difficult profession. While it may sound glamorous to some, the truth is that opportunities to write for publications are scarce, pay is low, and most writers suffer under editorial constraints. That has all changed with the Internet. For writers willing to re-invent themselves as "content providers," that is, sellers of content (writers and publishers rolled into one), the opportunities are enormous.
  • Secrets of the Internet for Writers Only
    Writers used to depend on publishers or businesses for their living. Today, writers willing to think outside the box can use Internet business models to construct viable businesses based on content. In order to do this, writers need to learn about the Internet and various business models there and then do what they do best--write.
  • When Writers Become Content Providers
    Writers today struggle as traditional publishing opportunities are more limited than ever and new opportunities to write online (as so-called content providers) pay very little. Despite appearances, it is actually a great time to be a writer providing you have good business skills, a desire to learn, and a willingness to study how the Internet works. Internet businesses are ideal for writers.
  • What Every Good Writer Has to Know about the Internet
    Writers may not know it yet, but they are in big demand on the Internet. But instead of just providing content to existing Internet entrepreneuers, the savvy writer can profit from this new business model by becoming a publisher. Content-rich sites that sell advertising or information product marketing are great ways for writers to self publish and assume the risks and potential rewards once reserved only for publishers.
