"How to make MORE money as a freelance writer!" by David Geer (US$4.95, 75pp, eBook, PDF, 173KB--FREE Adobe Reader required.)

(Description)

Are you writing full-time and still making part-time income? Are you writing part-time and wondering how you will ever make the leap and quit the day job?

What if you could get markets you work for now to pay more? What if you could move into higher-paying markets?

All these challenges can be overcome if you have the right tools. I have surmounted these obstacles in my own career, establishing a healthy and increasing flow of income.

In this 75pp book, I have recorded step-by-step approaches to making more and more money as a freelance writer. A well-organized Table of Contents links to every chapter and sub-section; with just a click, you can easily find what you're looking for.

Sample chapter and section titles include:

--"How to Find & Expand Your Writing Markets"

--"Business Nuts & Bolts"

--"Writing Tips"

--"Networking"

--"Avoiding Bungled Assignments" and

--"Actual Market Listings"

These lessons come from an eight-year schooling from the "university of hard knocks". In this new book, you'll discover techniques you can use to get more work and better pay from new and existing markets.

Many of these approaches are unconventional. Yet, I use and recommend them because they work repeatedly.

--I get repeat work for large magazines.

--I have hundreds of articles and reprints published in dozens of national and international trade, business and consumer publications (both electronically and in print).

--Editors and clients come to me with new work based on professional recommendations.

--I have seen significant annual increases in income solely from writing.

--I earn up to $2-per-word and $75-per-hour with repeat business.

Is this the kind of career you've been waiting for? Then this book is for you!

"How to make MORE money as a freelance writer!" is for beginning to advanced writers who want to earn more by:

--Finding markets they might never have through advanced search techniques.

--Working more often for more markets and getting repeat business.

--Getting more and more money for their work right from the start.

This assortment of meaty, direct, step-by-step, practical advice can help you find those markets, stay busy with new and repeat business and raise your rates.

And, if that's not enough, the book includes market-locating resources to get you started finding new markets right away.

"David understands the importance of writers finding their niche, and no one is better than David at mastering a niche and becoming an expert. If he can't teach you how to be a more productive, successful writer, no one can."

--Lori Widmer, veteran freelance writer, editor and publisher of trade journals.

"Those I've watched succeed as freelance writers over the years--whether full-time or as serious part-timers--have invariably done so by treating it as a business.

David Geer offers real-life examples of how to build a freelance business through innovative marketing and sensible production strategies.

No magic bullets here; but real steps you can take that you aren't likely to read in one place elsewhere.

After several months, if you follow David's suggestions, you'll be very busy and will have a steady freelance income."

--Dana K. Cassell, editor, publisher Writers-Editors Network; www.writers-editors.com

"It has been rather difficult to get through reading your book--because every new idea I read about makes me want to stop and try it, put it to practice! You have ideas and methods here that are exciting to think about and apply to a freelancing practice.

Thanks for the details of how to go about many of the points (like covering events) that are usually mentioned by those with the experience but not with the nitty-gritty stuff.

After reading your book, one feels that a freelance writer can make a very decent income, contrary to popular belief. Of course, a LOT of effort goes into it, but hard work and professionalism does pay dividends!"

--Hasmita Chander, freelance writer, editor

"David's e-book is packed, and I mean packed, with useful ideas and resources. David's obviously an excellent writer and a very enterprising person. His Web site testifies to how much work he does, all well-written."

--Barbara Saunders, freelance technology journalist
