Course Description Freelance writing is the practice of writing for money, in its simplest state. Freelance writers produce whatever written text is needed by their clientele, generally at home in their own office, for money. If you want to be freelance writer or want to get the success keys, you are welcome to join Freelance Writing Course. You will gain the skills necessary to thrive in the freelance writing world. 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. Now it's no longer necessary for you to learn the hard way - all by yourself and over a long period of time (years!) because I have done all that FOR YOU. All the information you need is here. All the right tips and tactics that work are ALL HERE. Just for you. Writing for Magazines is traditionally seen as the freelancers main income source and the subject receives its full attention from me. The fact is, magazine articles may only make up a small part of your overall income but everything you learn about pitching for work will help sharpen your freelance writing skills. In this series of lectures I help you with Sample Query letters, assistance choosing topics that can't fail to have an editor salivating and a market listing to die for. 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. You see the thing is that you don't have to write entire books to get paid to write them. Better to pitch nonfiction ideas to publishers FIRST and then let them commission you to write them. This is how true professionals work - and I show you the exact method by which you can compete and win with ease. Again I include an up to the minute listing of nonfiction publishers who are desperate for new book ideas from you. Writing Genre Fiction for big money is the dream of almost all new authors. But how is this achieved? Look no further.

Compiled with the help of a multi-published children's author, this section alone is super valuable to any writer's career.

We writers often have to make the first move. This section gives you the foolproof strategy I have always used to get business work.

Honestly, if you're looking for sure-fire income, there is never a shortage of people looking for ghost writers. And it's incredibly well paid. Your biggest hurdle is finding the right kind of clients, by which I mean the PAYING ones.

This section is all about using business skills to attract paying clients, how to construct ghost writing contracts and how to do a great job quickly AND get paid UPFRONT.

Get in the know - and quickly! Self Publishing Online is now a necessary skill for all new writers. You simply can't survive as a credible author these days without having an online presence and a means by which to sell you own books. Many traditional authors are making the switch to digital author simply because the royalties publishers pay are too low. Amazon pays 70% to 90%. Traditional publisher pay 10%. It's easy to see why the majority of new authors now CHOOSE self publishing over the long and often disappointing slog of getting an agent then a literary deal where you'll end up barely able to pay the rent and bills. Learn how to self publish online like a professional and watch the money come rolling in! What are you waiting for? Offline Self-Publishing too is still a valid way of making cash quickly - if you know how to do it properly. There are many pitfalls to vanity publishing and you don't want to do that.
