Writing For Money - 2 Profitable Business Ideas That Pay You Well!

Writing for money can be very profitable. Copywriters often earn six-figure incomes annually. In this article I will discuss how you can break into this profitable business.

Start A Copywriting Business

Many professional copywriters earn six-figure incomes. I know, because I have hired them in the past to do some freelance writing for me. It is not unusual for copywriters to earn $149 per page. Dr. Nunley charges that much to write a one page sales letter, article, solo ad, web page copy, press release, or any other one page document!

Many online sales web pages may exceed 10 to 20 pages. If you wrote those pages, a ten page sales letter could earn you $1,490. A twenty page letter could earn you $2,980. Plus they earn additional royalties each time your sales letters are mailed.

What Does a Copywriter Do?

Some copywriters write sales letters for direct response marketing companies. You have seen these letters in your mail. Sometimes they come as a booklet. The intent of these letters or booklets is to convince you to buy something.

A copywriter turn words into sales for their clients. They follow proven writing techniques that create emotion in people. They channel this emotion through a process that convinces people to buy their product or service.

Copywriters usually work by themselves at home or wherever they choose. They build their business one client at a time. If your letters can sell, you will be in high demand.

Writing For Money - Online

Some copywriters write sales letters for websites. No doubt you have encountered a few of these long sales letter websites that print out on twenty pages or more. They are much like a direct response sales letter. They usually sell just one product or service. You could use the same skills as writing a traditional direct response letter.

Writing for the web is different in many ways than writing a direct mail piece. Your visitor can arrive at any page. You need to write not only for your visitor, but also for the search engines. If you are writing for a client, then you need to integrate their desires or content into your web copy too.

Website visitors come to your client's website seeking information and solutions. They do not like to be sold. You need to build trust with your visitor and then pre-sell them. Only after they have been pre-sold can you write to sell. This is a two step process.

Ken Evoy, author of the free ebook, "The Netwriting Masters Course" reveals the secrets to writing for money online. This ebook concentrates on the critical pre-selling process.

He teaches you how to write for information seekers, how to build their trust, and how to convert them into sales. At the same time he teaches you how to write for the search engines.

Unfortunately, most online content writers concentrate on the sale. Writing for money on the web is actually more than writing great sales copy. It is converting traffic into pre-sold traffic.

Learn this critical skill and you can earn a significant income writing for money either for your clients or for yourself.
