Learn the secret self-promotion tactics of a seasoned freelancer quickly. Feel motivated and full of self-belief in a new home based career. You will learn everything you need to know about magazine article and travel writing, ghost writing, genre fiction writing, nonfiction book writing, children's book writing, to effective copy writing, and much more. What's In the Course? Discover why I am the right teacher for you. Indeed, I may be the ONLY writing teacher out there who has actually made a good living from writing. Most teachers either live in dusty classrooms teaching theory, or are so called 'gurus' who have no real world experience and yet spout even more theory from behind a blog or a flashy website. Not me, I'm the real deal. I've been making a living from freelance writing for over 25 years, online and offline - so I know how it's done, how it works, and how to make a shed-load of money doing it. Let me show you the best attributes to develop to make your new career a certainty. Talk to me about your problems within the course and let me help you gain the right mindset, attitude, and motivation. I'll be candid and assist you as much as is humanly possible. Plus, I'll be upfront about the money you can make, which is sometimes a lot more than you'd think! The key to making freelance writing work is to create multiple streams of income, so that you're getting a constant flow of money coming in from all kinds of writing work: magazine articles, travel writing, ghosting writing, editing jobs, writing fiction and nonfiction, getting published by the trade AND/OR self publishing certain things. The trick is to diversify and not rely totally on just one form of income. I'll explain fully how that is done effectively at the beginning of the course. Many new writers don't fully appreciate how to run a lucrative business. Basically writing for a living is a business too - and you need to approach it like one. In one crucial set of videos I explain how to plan and strategize your success and use priorities and measurement of your activities to maximize your earning potential. Plus tips on how to reduce your taxes and properly manage your finances. Writing success is about managing your activities - daily - and responding to feedback. My course ensures you don't get caught in a rut and that you respond quickly to the demands that writing for a living will engender. Included are downloadable activity sheets that will help you identify the best paying jobs. More than any other freelance business, you are a product of your own destiny when it comes to writing. You decide on what you want. You decide what you want to do with your time. You are the master of your universe - and you reap the rewards of true independence. During the course I explain how your mindset is your best friend, your best asset, and your key to true success. It's what is in your heart that matters - and I explain why. After this master class in self management I then go on introduce the concept of Practical Cash Creation. This detailed module explains the reality of writing for a living and what it means, how it can impact your life and those around you, how making money changes your life - and your partner's - all for the good. There are more downloadable income to activity schedules and spreadsheets in these modules to help you chart your progress and track your journey to success. Finally we reach the actual meat and potatoes of the course - actual money making activities explained in detail: how actual cash is generated from a myriad of sources. The information in these videos will literally blow you away. Never in one place have so many secrets been laid bare, especially about an industry normally shrouded in secrecy.

Non Fiction Writing is covered in a series of SEVEN videos that show you how to construct sure-fire submissions to publishers on all kinds of books: science, fashion, history, whatever you like.
