Before beginning, there are two terms you will need to
differentiate between when discussing freelance writing
online.
As a web writer, you will be asked to produce “contentâ€
and “sales pagesâ€. The first is web content - articles,
blog posts and most everything you probably already
know enough to write about.
These little gems can bring you between $2.00 and
$25.00 depending on how well known you are and what
your writing ability commands.
The second, sales pages, is a whole horse of another
color. It involves a unique brand of web advertising
copy. These pages resemble a single sales page and can
command anywhere between $1,000 to $25,000.
Two terms you need to know as a Web writer are
"content" and "Web sales pages". In order to build both
experience and confidence, you will want to take things
slow.
This may make you want to jump right into the sales
page arena; however, walk before you run. Sales pages
are works of art, and there is a lot that goes into
learning how to write them correctly.
Starting out slow with general web content will get you
acclimated to the online freelance market while you
learn the ins and outs of sales page copywriting.
Motivation and Desire
Freelance writers just don't realize how much money
there is to be made by writing for the Web: many
writers use the Web as a research tool, they don't see
the Web as a mass of millions of markets.
They don't
realize that Web sites are STARVED for good writers.
Want to get paid REAL money to write? That’s where the
motivation and desire comes in.
In order to make more than minimum wage at writing,
first you need to find the places that are paying
money, hone your skills and buff up your resume and
take action.
Many new freelance writers read a ton of
stuff and get stuck in Analysis Paralysis.
Just like a writer staring at a blank computer screen,
a freelance writer is overwhelmed from the moment they
come online.
This e-book gets you past all of that giving you a plan
to follow that has most of the facts you’ll need to get
started.
All it will require is that you execute the plan.
That’s motivation in action; turning dreams and desires
into reality.
