H e r e s the pun c h li n e . Y o u can make $300 per a r t i c l e as an o n li n e w r i t e r .

Actually, you can make a good d e a l more than that. I j us t earned over $1,000 each for t w o a r t i c l e s l a s t week, and gigs like that are b e c o m i n g more and more c o mm o np l a c e .

T h e money is t h e r e , and d e sp i t e m illi o ns of w r i t e rs s a t ur a t i n g the market, the demand f o r qu a li t y , a b o v e - a nd - b e y o nd w r i t i n g is t h e r e .

I n fact, i t s stronger than ever. D e sp i t e the hundreds of thousands of e a g e r , s t a y - a t - h o m e w r i t e rs c l a m o r i n g to produce content for mere p e nn i e s , you can earn an average of $400 per a r t i c l e w r i t i n g o n li n e .

But h o w ?

I c o u l d fluff t h i s out and give you 50,000 words, but I hate it when p e o p l e do that. M a y b e i t s a p e rs o n a l t h i n g , but I d o n t even read n o n f i c t i o n books anymore. W h a t s the p o i n t o f r e a d i n g 80,000 words wrapped around a word p o i n t ?

I n t h i s ebook, I m going to get s t r a i g h t to the p o i n t . I ' m going to cover e x a c t l y what it t a k e s to d e li v e r h i g h - qu a li t y w r i t i n g and become a highly p a i d f r ee l a n c e w r i t e r .

I m far from b e i n g the h i g h e s t e a rn i n g f r ee l a n c e w r i t e r around. If I was willing to work hour weeks, I c o u l d pr o b a b l y compete for that sp o t , but frankly, t h a t s not my g o a l .

My goal has a l w a y s been to m a x i m i z e my revenue w h il e m i n i m i z i n g my hours AND to e n j o y my career. T h a t s e x a c t l y what I m d o i n g , and i t s what I want t h i s g u i d e to h e l p you a cc o m p li sh .

My focus in t h i s g u i d e is going to be on bu il d i n g a bus i n e ss around w r i t i n g content r a t h e r than c o p y w r i t i n g . Copywriting is a very sp e c i f i c t a l e n t , and w h il e I w o u l d encourage you t o pursue it (and it s y n e r g i z e s very well w i t h content w r i t i n g ) , it is also a very narrow c a r ee r c h o i c e .

T h e only h i g h li g h t above that can be c o n t r i bu t e d to c o p y w r i t i n g is the $14k pr o j e c t . E v e r y t h i n g e l s e is pur e l y from content w r i t i n g . When you focus on a pr o f i t a b l e n i c h e , as w e will t a l k about in the f i rs t c h a p t e r , you will find numerous ways to earn money w h il e w r i t i n g in that n i c h e . Blog content will pr o b a b l y be the #1 way, but you will find other avenues a s well, p o ss i b l y i n c l ud i n g n i c h e - f o c us e d c o p y w r i t i n g .

But t h a t s enough of an i n t r o . L e t s get s t a r t e d !
