The Fastest Way to Build a Freelance Writing Business and Start Making at Least $100 a Day!

By Suzanne Lieurance

Do you want to start a freelance writing business but you just don't know how to get started?

It really isn't that difficult to start earning at least $100 a day as a writer. The real trick is to do that without having to work 24-7.

Here's probably the fastest way to build your freelance writing business, particularly if you don't have much writing experience or many publication credits. Just follow these steps:

1.    Set up a website or blogsite that targets a specific niche of potential customers/clients. Choose a topic that interests you and preferably one you already know something about. What are your hobbies? One of your hobbies just might make the perfect topic for your writing business.

2.    Load that site with valuable content that this niche market is eagerly searching for (do your keyword research to find out what your target market is after). You'll want your target market to get to know, like, and trust you. You can start doing this by providing plenty of helpful content at your site, and don't forget to add fresh information and resources all the time.

3.    Load that site with products and services that you are an affiliate for or with your own products and services that cater to this niche market. It's best to promote only those products and services that you have tried yourself and can truthfully recommend to others.

4.    Set up a system for driving traffic to your site so that thousands of people in your niche market are seeing what you have to offer there. Your system should include article marketing, media release campaigns, and email campaigns.

Make this your major focus for the next 30 days and see what happens. It shouldn't be long before you're earning at least $100 a day from your new writing business.

Try it!

There are many other ways to earn a substantial income from your writing. Every month, members of The Working Writer's Club have access to a LIVE 55-minute teleclass that covers (in greater depth than is possible here) at least one way to build a freelance writing business.

From time to time, I pass on information about places to submit other than the children’s book industry.  I figure we are writers and being a children’s writer only helps make us more creative.  Even though most of us are working on a novel or picture book, we could use our talent to write an article to make some extra money.  Southern Living is a magazine you might want to submit an article to for consideration in their magazine. 

SOUTHERN LIVING – LIVINGS SECTION

The Livings are a series of “insider’s guides” for specific Southern states within the pages of Southern Living.  A Living section is delivered to subscribers in the state in which they live (i.e. subscribers with Georgia zip codes receive Georgia Living).  Living sections to not cross state borders in delivery or content. Their goal is to provide entertaining and service-oriented stories which inform readers about aspects of their state that surprise, delight, and enrich.  Each Living section contains stories based on designated franchises (themes); not all franchises run in every individual issue of a Living in a given month. We aim to provide a selection of the themed stories over the annual run of each section.

THINK: fresh, young, surprising, wow, relevant, visual, who-knew, Southern [or better, your specific state], energetic.

LIVINGS STATES AND MONTHS
Alabama–February, May October
Florida–January, April, November
Georgia–February, April, June, August, October, December
Mid-Atlantic*–March, May, December
North Carolina–March, June, September, November
South Carolina–March, May, September
Tennessee–February, May, August, November
Texas–February, April, June, November
* Mid-Atlantic includes DC, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware

OUR FRANCHISES (please match pitches to the following):

The Best xx in (state): Examples: Best Breakfasts, Best Cocktails, etc. Multiple locations throughout state are desired. This franchise is generally a lede due to its scope…2-3 pages.

Worth the Trip: An out-of-the-way location nevertheless worth the effort.

Day Trip: A 24-hour (or daytime) itinerary; a road trip of  sorts with to-do along the way plus at destination.

Insider’s Guide To..: (vineyard, a garden, a neighborhood, an entity of interest). Local is knowledgeable and authoritative, giving info average  reader won’t know.

Expert’s Guide To..: One famous (or not) expert picks the best of his/her subject. An overview from one who knows the subject well and shines a light on  examples. (Sara Evans picks top music venues in AL, well-known/respected  artist picks best examples of art in state).

Behind the  Scenes With: A behind-the-veil at a Southern icon. Think big and well-known. Q&A format.

Uniquely  (state): What was actually invented, originated, or only  exists in that one state–and no other! Example: Ruby Red Grapefruit developed  by scientist in Texas. Gatorade, on the other hand, is a Florida invention–but  too well known. Needs surprise.

Only In (state): Not an  invention, as above, but some thing, event, phenomenon that happens Only In  that state.

Opening This  Month (or New to xxx, if the “opening” is on an off-month for that Living schedule): Newsey. New museum? New restaurant? Very

I love the internet . . . you can find almost anything and learn just about anything by doing a search. My latest learning session was on a teleseminar provided by Steve Harrison of Quantum Leap. The guest speaker was Jack Canfield. For those of you who haven’t yet hear of him (this would be amazing if you are in the writing field), Canfield is the co-creator of Chicken Soup for the Soul.

Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen had a dream. They would have a New York Times best selling book. But, the road to success wasn’t easy . . . they received 144 rejections from publishers. This did not stop them—they moved forward with visualization and positive projection techniques. Chicken Soup for the Soul came out in 1993. Since they didn’t have enough money for a publicist so they did their own marketing. By 1995, they won the Abby Award and the Southern California Publicist Award.

This is the second teleseminar I’ve had the privilege of attending featuring Canfield. The information offered was geared toward the strategies needed to make money publishing books through marketing and diversification. This concept is very similar to a video clip I watched of Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, which was also presented by Steve Harrison.

So, what exactly are these concepts of marketing and diversification?

Tips to Make Money Along with or After Book Publication

1. Have a platform.

Start your platform when you are thinking of writing a book—don’t wait until you are published. Creating connections, contacts, and readers takes time.

2. Realize you will most probably not get rich writing books.

Yes, that’s right, you will not automatically become wealthy from book publication. But, while you won’t get rich, it will open doors that will not otherwise be open. This is the opportunity for diversification—don’t just look straight ahead—use your peripheral vision.

3. Learn how to market and sell YOU and your books.

Never stop learning about writing, marketing and promotion. Read about the subjects; attend conferences and teleseminars; join writing and marketing groups, and follow blogs that provide valuable and up-to-date information. But, remember, you don’t want to just sell your books, you want to sell what you have to offer along with your books.

4. Research areas you can diversify in.

If you are published, there are a number of doors that will magically opened. You can create e-books; you can present teleseminars or workshops; you can offer classes or coaching; you can even write a book about your experiences and successes.

Tip: Before you start charging for your expertise, offer some free services to help others learning to write and learning to market their books and themselves.

6. Never stop selling.

Find new avenues to sell your books and services. Utilize some of the suggestions in #4 above.

7. Believe you can do it.

This is probably the most important tip for success. Canfield is a firm believer in the power of tweaking your subconscious and projection.

8. Pay it forward.

As the Bible tells us, “There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.” New World Translation, Acts 20:35.

Aside from being good for you as a writer and marketer, giving back is good for the universe and our troubled world.

Money is the means of payment, especially coins and banknotes, which is given and accepted in buying and selling. Money is therefore viewed as something very desirable to have because it gives one the power to buy almost anything one wish. Many people devote a lot of their time and energy to acquiring it. In fact, to most people the acquisition of money is the most important thing in life.

People will do all sorts of things to get money. In fact, the major portion of human activities is carried out to acquire it. Some do it the proper way, others the improper way. One proper way of getting money is by working for it. One works for an employer who will pay one a fee, a wage or a salary. Another proper way is to grow or make something for sale. Yet another way is to be engaged in a trade or business. There is a fourth way to earn money properly. That is to sell one’s services such as done by accountants, dentists, doctors and lawyers. There are also a few improper ways to make money. One is to steal or rob. Another is to cheat or swindle. The third is to smuggle. The fourth is to kidnap or to hold someone to ransom. Of course, all the improper methods of obtaining money are against the law and the penalty can be quite severe. It can be imprisonment or even death. In fact, some people would do almost anything to get money. There have been many cases of people insuring their houses and then setting them on fire to get the insurance money. There have also been cases in which people have been murdered so that someone can get their insurance payments.

Money actually plays a very important part in our lives. Although many people deny it, having a lot of money can make one happy and not having it can make one sad.

If one has a lot of money, one life in a comfortable house, drives a big car, wears expensive clothes and eat good food. Without money, one can have none of these things. So, it is not true to say that a person with no money and cannot satisfy even his basic needs are happier than one who has money and is, therefore, able to lead a life of luxury.

In conclusion, since money is so important for a better quality of life, you can try your best to acquire as much of if as possible but do it the proper way.
