Article Writing Can Pay Bills While You’re Writing The Great American Novel
It’s amazing! Anyone, in any business can do it.
If you yearn to write the Great American Novel, or just your novel, and
You can’t afford to take the time to do it, just turn to article writing. It’s
a quick, easy way to work yourself out of your day job and still pay your
bills while writing your novel.
When I was writing my novel, I wrote articles. When I began to market
my novel, I wrote articles. The income gave me time to build my audience
base. Some people wondered how I could be selling books without
a lot of noise. I was writing articles.
One day, I started tracking my very targeted market. Lo and behold, most
of it came from ezines and sites I had never heard of— viral marketing at its
best. Guess how much money I saved. Thousands of dollars!
First, article writers who distribute through Article distributors and directories
like Isnare.com, writers_n_publishers.com, Prweb.com, prleap.com, and a
host of others, never know where their articles will be used or seen. I traced
mine to totally unfamiliar places. That equates to big money. For all of
that I paid $18.00. Isnare was the only paid distribution I ever used, and it
was well worth it. I think I got 18-20 submissions for that amount.
If you learn to write popular articles, there are sites that will pay you $3.50-
$25 an article. You can turn them out in about 30 minutes, average—not bad.
And you can learn a little research and turn out four articles a day, easy. Think,
that’s $100 a day, $500 a week—not bad. $2,000 a month. Ummm. Will that
sustain you until your fiction writing pays off? If not, add article writing on
Saturday mornings and hang out the rest of the day.
There are other areas of article writing where you can get paid, but
the real biggie is to review products and services. Some companies will pay far
more than the article companies pay. Some of your articles may attract copy-
writing jobs, which are very lucrative.
Anyone can learn to write a good article in a short time. Then when people
google you, they’ll find you by your articles.
