The Write Way To Make Money 1

YOU ARE A WRITER!

Yes, the simple fact is that you are already a writer. Maybe
you don’t write for money at the moment. But, if you can
write a letter or a list you have the potential to write for
large amounts of money. You do not need any special skills
or training for success.




Most writers don’t know how to write especially good work.
Even fewer know how to write perfect English. However, what
most of them do know is how to write with selling in mind.
This could be thought of as the key to being a successful
writer. Apply these principles and you should have no
trouble writing work you can sell - for large profits!

It is not what you write - but how you write and sell it that
matters. With good selling even very poor written work can
sell for large amounts. This is one of the few business
opportunities where success can be all but guaranteed.
Follow the tips here and within a few weeks you should be
receiving cheques for your written work!

Selecting a Subject

Of course, although selling is highly important you must have
something to sell. The main point here is not to write what
you can, or want to, write - but something that buyers want
to buy. Many talented writers are poor because they write
things that are of no use to anyone!

Commercialism must be your keyword. If you write something
that will make money for a publisher then it will sell and
make money for you too! Only write things that can be sold
or used to sell something in some way. If your writing is
making money for someone else they will be only too happy to
pay you a lot for it.

Books are the ideal type of writing to try. Obviously a book
makes money for its publisher so they will not mind paying
you something for that extra profit. You do not need any
skill to write a book length work. Publishers are more
interested in ideas than ability and original ideas will
always sell.

You can start with either fiction or non fiction as you
prefer. Non fiction is an excellent place to start. If you
have detailed knowledge of any subject a publisher will
sometimes engage a professional writer to write what you tell
them - make money from writing, without writing a word!
There are lots of smaller books and guides that offer
excellent opportunities. Because the costs of production are
less any ideas are easier to sell to a publisher. Short
stories, especially those for children, are very lucrative.

Non fiction guides are very similar to over-sized articles
and general interest subjects are always popular.

If you want to make money by writing a little less, articles
are a good place to start. These are very easy to write and
even the tiniest scrap of knowledge you might have can be
turned into a lucrative article! There is just so much
demand for articles that it should not be hard to find an
outlet.

The final subject you should consider for writing profits is
copywriting or the writing of advertising material. This can
be made easy - just study other advertising and copy it.
Businesses of all types need sales letters, ads, mailshots,
brochures and the like writing. Skill is not important as
you are paid for the time you will save the business
customer. How many times have you seen a newspaper ad. and
thought ‘I could write something better than that’?
Consider the various writing opportunities and pick one to
start. Push this hard and you should quickly obtain orders
for your work. Do not try another subject until you have
exhausted all the potential in the first.

It is not advisable to attempt to make money from writing
poetry, plays or for TV or radio. Opportunities are
lucrative when you can get them but very rare. Many talented
writers push these subjects with little chance of making more
than a meagre income - write these for pleasure not for
profit!
