Top ten tips to help you to write fast

without comments


The more you write, the more you earn.

I posted this to my writing blog, and I’m sure you’ll find the tips useful. Angela Booth’s Writing Blog: Top Ten Tips to Help You to Write Fast:

“Do you want to write fast and well? The ability to convey your ideas quickly and easily will help you in everything you want to do, so it’s a skill that’s well worth developing.

Writing speed develops with practice, however there are tricks which will help you.

Here are ten of my favorite tricks, developed over 30 years of writing.

1. Write First, Research Later

When you’re starting a new project, it’s tempting to spend time researching. However, you won’t know what facts you need, until you’re in the middle of writing, and often not until you’ve completed an initial draft.

Therefore, write your first draft without giving any thought to what you don’t know.

I use free writing to get down a first draft as quickly as I can. If I need to research something, I’ll put a note right in the draft, in brackets, or I’ll type ‘XXX’.

Writing a draft before researching helps to eliminate procrastination.”

Here’s a tip I left out: Only writing is writing. Thinking about writing isn’t writing. Nor is reading your email, responding to clients, or surfing the web. COUNT the words you write everyday. Just keeping a word count makes a difference.

“Go From Zero To Making $250 Per Hour For Web Writing – Kick Off Your Web Writing Career In 24 Hours!”

There’s great money in Web writing. Some Web writers are making $20,000 a month by blogging for a stable of sites. Others are writing articles or ebooks.

Want to jump on this opportunity? No matter what your level of writing skill, you can make great money writing for the Web too.

Writing Jobs Anyone Can Do: Write Articles

without comments

There’s never been a better time to be a writer. Your potential income is unlimited. This is simply because as the recession bites, businesses are forced to make alterations to the way they market their products.

I’m amazed at the number of small businesses which are moving the bulk of their operations online, as well as by the number of small businesses which are starting up with the sole aim of selling products online — even a year ago this would’ve been looked on as a risky strategy.

With businesses placing such a high emphasis on selling online, it gives great  opportunities for writers. You’re in high demand. Even beginning writers can get writing jobs writing articles.

Can YOU write Web articles?

If you have any writing skills at all, you can write articles. Web articles are very different from articles written for print publications, and they’re much easier to write.

If you read Web articles, you’ll discover that they have certain attributes.  They’re easy to read, they’re relatively short when compared to print articles, and they contain links.

So if you’re in the same position as a lot of people, and need to earn extra money, consider writing web articles.

Writing mini sites: using your writing skills to make money

without comments

Many writers are making the switch to Web writing. One of the benefits of writing for the Web is that you can use your skills to make money — you can create websites and monetize them in various ways.

I’ve got several hundred sites and I know writers who have 1000 sites. This perhaps seems incredible. If you’re a new writer, or you’re not used to Web writing, you’re thinking “why would anybody want that many sites”?

Want to improve your writing skills, sell more of your writing, and feel more confident as a writer? You can clear any and every writing block you have, when you use hypnosis. Hypnosis is the secret of many bestselling authors, including Lawrence Block and Sue Grafton.
