The Write Way To Make Money 4
An Alternative
If you don’t want to share your writing profits with a
publisher consider self-publishing. Here you simply write a
book on a suitable subject, have it printed and sell it
yourself. Note this is quite different from paying a
publisher to publish your work.
If your book sells well, self-publishing can be extremely
lucrative, as you keep all your profits for yourself. But,
if your books fails to sell, you might incur a loss - and you
will need some capital to start. Really big money can be
made in this way but it is much more of a risk. Whereas,
with writing for a publisher your profits are certain.
Business idea guides and manuals are one of the very best
subjects for self publishing. They can be easily written
from a good business and easily printed into simple booklets.
In addition, they sell readily at high mark ups and mail
order is one of the easiest, most profitable ways of doing
this.
If you want a big business very soon, try self-publishing.
If you want a slightly smaller, but still considerable,
constant income, sell to existing publishers.
Summing Up
It is so important to emphasise that you are already a
successful writer. Writers are made by their own efforts -
it is not something you just happen to be. Once you know how
to write to sell, you can sell even mediocre work for big
profits. And, as you learn more and more about writing to
sell, profits grow too!
The only people that can’t be successful writers are those
that can’t write a word. So, if you’ve managed to read this
so far without using a dictionary, you can write - and write
for money. Some of the most well known and well paid writers
don’t write particularly well - they just know how to write
to sell. And, now that you know the ’secrets’ too, now is a
good time to start!
