How Would You Like to Make $1,000 in an Hour?

We'll get to the title of today's post in just a second. Before then, wanna know . . .

What's It Really Like to Work While Traveling as a Freelance Writer?

My post over at BloggingTips.com today highlights the pros and cons of working on the road as a freelance writer. Hope you enjoy it.

Today's Newsletter: Today, Inkwell Editorial's newsletter was supposed to be published. But, one of the travails of working on the road is not having all of your equipment at your fingertips. I write the newsletter in Word and convert it to a pdf file before uploading it.

Duhh, I don't have word on the laptop, so I'll publish it on Monday. But, I didn't want to leave you high and dry. So here's a sneak peek at what you'll be reading.

How Would You Like to Make $1,000 in an Hour?

The subject of this month's newsletter is affiliate marketing. And, not some cheesy programs that promise to make you thousands of dollars a day. BUT, real ways to make a few hundred to a few thousand extra bucks a month. So, I went in search of real affiliate marketers and was lucky enough to land interviews with three who were kind enough to share their experiences, their methods -- and their income.

Boy was I blown away with how successful these gentlemen were -- and within a relatively small time frame. Here's a sneek peek at what they had to say:

Affiliate Marketer 1: Set a modest goal of $550 to $1,000 a month. Has hit it and and sometimes surpasses it. How does he do it? He writes: "- I ONLY promote compatible products and services that are in alignment with my niche.

Affiliate Marketer 2: Bumped along for almost three years before he finally hit on a money maker. What was it? An ebook he wrote and published in 2004 for his consulting practice. It started to generate more than $1,000/month in the spring of 2007.

In answer to the question, "What were you initial income goals?" he wrote:

Initially, my marketing goal was to build credibility for my business consulting practice. Somewhere in the months that followed, I found my blogging to be the perfect mouth piece to promote the book that I wrote (and self-published) in the spring of 2004. My activities finally evolved in late 2007 to a more robust money maker, and started generating in excess of $1000 per month.

Affiliate Marketer 3: Is working on making five figures a month -- and he only started taking affiliate marketing seriously this past January. He writes:

So, once I realized that it was make or break, my goal was to make $200 in a month. Then, from there... you gradually move it up and up as you grow and learn more (and take action). I've basically almost doubled my "goal" from the previous month each month... and I so far I've been lucky enough to beat it every time. Now I'm shooting for my first 5 figure affiliate marketing month (I'm almost there)... recently I hit my goal of a $1,000 day (actually it was $1k in an hour... and a bit over $2,500 in a 48 hour period)...

As you can see, this is an exciting issue coming up. Sorry for the delay in publishing (remember, it'll be out on Monday). If you haven't subscribed, here's how to do so.

Freelance Writers: Why an Ugly Website Can be Good for Business

The heading of this post was today's topic over at BloggingTips.com (BT). An excerpt:

I was reading an interview featuring Markus Frind of PlentyofFish.com. Mr. Frind’s site is the world’s largest online dating website. According to published reports, Markus pulls in over $10,000 to $20,000 a day from Google AdSense alone. His overall income is $5 million to $10 million a year.

Plentyof Fish.com is one of the ugliest sites online. It looks like a newbie web designer threw it up, got it operational and turned his interest to something else. So, why then is it so successful? Read the rest here.

Last week at BT, I wrote about why globalization almost demands that freelance writers get upfront payment. Yeah, I've been keeping my blogging commitment to others, but have been a little lax with my own.

I'm hitting the road!

I'm off to New York City tomorrow. Have lined up a meeting with an internet marketing firm there, and plan to catch up with some friends as well. I'm psyched. After that, I'm off to St. Paul Minnesota for a week to visit another dear old friend -- I'll be working all the while I'm gone, but it's still gonna be nice to get away.

I used to travel quite a bit. Since I bought my house in 2004 though, I've been a homebody (a big a** mortgage kinda demands it), but I'm starting to fly the coop a little more.

Sushi in Minnesota?

FYI, if anybody has any ideas about what I should do in Minnesota, let me know. I've never been, so am excited to see something new (I love going to new places). I love sushi, so if anyone knows of any good sushi restaurants, email me (info-at-inkwelleditorial.com). Put "sushi" in the subject line please, cuz I'm only gonna be skimming my inbox over the next week or so.

The Gosh Darn Affiliate Program!

It simply is not ready to be uploaded. Even though I have only one pithy report to put finishing touches on, it's the other stuff that hangs me up -- ie, converting it to the right file format, uploading it, checking that all links work, yadda, yadda, yadda. I need an assistant!

I really could release it without the reports, but my Type A personality won't let me until I finish some tools I think will help make it worthwhile for you. Once it's up, it'll be ongoing forever, so that's why I keep pushing it back. I'm not even gonna say when again. The next time you hear about it, it'll be an announcement that it's ready. How's that?

And the Floodgates Opened: Is Anybody Else Swamped?

I swear, the harder I tried to prepare for this little trip, the more projects came out of the woodwork. It's like clients knew that I was trying to leave and wanted to get their order in beforehand. Today alone, three clients (two old, one new) placed new orders. One was big, which is what I'll be working on next week. This week alone, I've had 7 new projects come in . . . and this past Monday, I had just one sitting in my inbox. What a difference a few days make.

I'm not complaining, but it just goes to show you, if you market consistently, suddenly the floodgates will open and you'll be swamped. In August, I sent out tons of queries -- 100-200 a week. Now, all of that effort is coming to fruition. And just in time because I just got my annual property tax bill in the mail -- rats! At least paying it won't be a problem.

How to Start a Freelance Writing Career in 24 Hours for $0

I receive anywhere from 5-10 emails a week (a couple a day), asking me the same question, “How do I get started as a freelance writer?” The short answer is to just do it.

But, many wannabe freelance writers hold themselves back by simply not starting. They put roadblocks in the way that just astound me. Eg, I need a website, I don’t have samples, I don’t have any clients yet, etc. If you want to be a freelance writer, it's time to start being a doer – not a planner, a talker, or a dreamer – a doer!

Following is plan of action you can take to start a freelance writing career in 24 hours, or less -- for $0. Stop over thinking it and just do it!

To that end, I want to know, what do you need help with, eg: pricing, marketing, how to handle clients, how to negotiate, which services to offer, etc. Now’s the time to send in your questions (info *at* InkwellEditorial.com). I’ll incorporate them into the tutorial so that you can be fully prepared to bring in as much freelance writing business as you can handle.

3 Reasons Freelancers Thrive in a Recession

This post continues on the ideas expressed in last Wednesday's post about why a recession is a great time to start a freelance writing career.

I was a little light on details. As I had I had some free time over the weekend, I took the time to flesh the topic out for today's post.

To repeat myself a bit, what started me to thinking about this was "unofficial" recession we're in and a conversation I had with a girlfriend who works in corporate America got me to thinking a lot about why some are scared (9-5ers), and why others aren't (freelancers). The title and text came to me in a flash.

To read the exact conversation I had with my six-figure earning girlfriend, read this post at BloggingTips.com: The Mind of an Entrepreneur versus The Mind of a 9-5'er. The following expands on those thoughts.

Why Freelance Writing Jobs Are Plentiful Right Now

As I mentioned in last Thursday's post, today I was supposed to talk about how I negotiated with clients on three different occasions last week (the rate/fee question), and managed to come away doing ok. But alas, I've been slammed this week. I mean SLAMMED!

Last week it seemed that all of my troublesome clients came out of the woodwork, as I talked about here. This week, it's raining new clients AND old clients with multiple new projects. I'm literally swamped. My work days have started at 6am and ran right through until midnight or 1am the past two days, and it's gonna be that way this entire week.

I say all this to say that I'm going back to a series of quick tips this week, and will pick up with my usual in-depth posting style next week, as I only have 15 -30 minutes to devote to blogging the next few days.

So, four things I want to tell you today.

1. FREELANCE WRITING JOB LEADS FROM ASSOCIATED CONTENT

Last week, I made a quick $45 with Associated Content (AC) for two articles. How? Well, they've been posting a lot of pretty good paying "Calls for Content" lately. I did one article on How to Write a Small Business Plan for $25 (about 45 minutes to write), and another on What All-in-One Printers Can Do For Small Business Owners for $20 (maybe 20 minutes to write).

What are Calls for Content? It's basically a request they send out for certain topics they want you to write about. The pay ranges from $0 (just performance payments) on up to $25, which is the most I've ever seen one for. I perk up when I see $20 and $25, because usually they only have to be 250 to 400 words, and because I'm an SEO writer, I can churn these out like lightning (especially if they have to do with business).

I have claimed four more to write that are due on Thursday, and none are more than 400 words. Each pays $20 and I'd be surprised if it took me more than an hour and a half to do all of them. So, if you're not familiar with AC or haven't given them a look in a while, cruise on over. It could be worth your while.

Following are a few available ones as of this posting.

Your Pregnancy and the Dentsit ($20): This content may or may not be published on DentalPlans.com. If published on that site, it will appear with your byline and a link to your AC profile page, but it will not be eligible for performance payments.Importance of proper nutrition, effects on unborn child, loss of calcium, radiation, medications and options for treating a tooth ache when pregnant. Word Count: 250 to 350 words. Keywords: pregnancy dentist, pregnancy dental x-rays, pregnancy dental careAlso read the Dental Plans Writer Guidelines.

Caring for Someone with Parkinson's Disease ($25): This content may be published on Disaboom.com. If your content is published, it will appear with your byline (or your AC pen name if you've provided a professional one) but it will not be eligible for performance payments. Your Assignment: Interview the following AC CP who has Parkinson's disease. She has agreed to be interviewed for this article. Contact her via her profile page. The writer guidelines below will explain more about the assignment.

How to Hold an Estate Sale ($25): This content may be published on a new IAC Web site (TBA). If published, it will appear with your AC pen name (as long as it is professional). It is not eligible for performance payments. Word Count: 750 to 1,000. Keyphrases: estate sale (5% density and used in first paragraph); local estate sales. Notes from IAC editors: Cover the basics on what to sell, how to price and how to advertise. Assume that there are no legal issues preventing the estate sale, but make mention of what happens if the money from the sale will be assigned to a trust. (NOTE: This is kind of a long one; they usually only request 250-500 words). But, hey, if you have the time and the interest . . . )

NOTE: You must be an AC Content Producer (CP) to write these. Don't worry, it's free to sign up, and you can do it and start writing immediately.

View all AC Calls for Content here. Learn more about Calls for Content here.

2. BLOGGING JOB JOB LEAD FROM THE RHYTHIM OF WRITE

This job lead comes from Deborah Dera of therhythmofwrite.com. She left a comment on my blog last Thursday, so I clicked over to her blog, and lo and behold, she had a great writeup on a paid blogging gig site I'd never heard of. So, check out this post on her blog about PayU2Blog.com. You may be able to pick up some nice pocket change like Deborah has.

Thanks Deborah for the tip!

3. Tomorrow I'll pass along a ton of leads from Constant-Content (CC). If my experience this week and the emails I'm getting from CC are any indication, clients are coming out of the woodworks these days. There's so much frelance writing work out there right now it's insane -- especially for SEO writers! My inbox and phone have been blown up with client request for proposals and outright signing on the dotted line.

I'll share a quick tip from an interesting conversation I had with an SEO internet marketing firm exec tomorrow. And finally. . .

4. This blog is in a contest, and we came through the first round a winner! John Hewitt of Poewar.com, in honor of March Madness, put together a very unique contest entitled March Writing Blog Madness! The purpose: "A field of 32 blogs about writing will gather to compete to see who is the best." Read more about it here. And read how we fared in the first round of the contest here.

It's a great way to discover new freelance writing blogs, and to get in-depth information on which ones you may want to consider becoming regular readers of.

I have two more hours to put in before getting some shut-eye and getting up and doing it all again. Until tomorrow.

Earn $63,000 to $125,000/Yr Writing Articles: It's so possible & here's how

I recently started writing for eHow.com. It’s a community site similar to AssociatedContent.com, another site I also contribute to. I like writing for both sites, because they each offer something unique.

Earn $63,000 to $125,000/year writing simple articles

And yeah, I know $15 per article is peanuts for some, but when you consider that you can write about basically anything you want and that it takes anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes to write an article, that works out to $30 to $60/hour. OR, looked at another way, earning almost $63K to $125K/year writing simple articles. I’ll take it every time.

So, how did I happen upon this gig? How did I get continuous work? How did I make $300 in one day writing for this site? Read on for it all! But first, don't forget to check out the freelance writing jobs below.

Here's to a productive Tuesday every body!

10 Telecommuting Jobs (Careers that let you work from home)

I ran across an article on CareerBuilder entitled 10 Jobs That Let You Work From Home (see link below) that inspired to day's post.

How Getting Engaged Led to a Telecommuting Career after 23 Years

I was talking to a girlfriend of mine who lives in New York City yesterday. We first met at the legal publishing firm where we she still works in 1987. She's getting married next year and will be moving to South Carolina.

As she's been with the company for something like 22 or 23 years, I asked her, "What are you going to do for work when you get married and move down south (all us good girls eventually come back to the south!)."

She said, "Oh, I've already talked to my supervisor about working from home/telecommuting."

I said, "They're gonna let you do that?"

She said, "You remember K who used to work here? Well, she got engaged last year and her fiance's job moved him to Texas. She went with him and she's telecommuting."

I know three more women from the company (two who got married) and one who just wanted to, who telecommute as well. So, it probably going to work out for her. One lives in DC, one in New Jersey and another in New York City.

Freelancing, Outsourcing & Telecommuting are on the Rise

To give some background, this company has always outsourced work. In fact, it's how my company, Inkwell Editorial, began. You can read the entire story in the ebook, In Business: From Startup to Success! My girlfriend told me that in recent years, they have made cuts and are outsourcing a lot more work to India (outsourcing used to be done locally and on a small scale).

As a matter of fact, another one of my close girlfriends who worked at the same company was downsized last year out of her middle management job after 15 years due to these cuts.

This is a large legal publisher who was bought several years ago by an even larger publishing conglomerate. My point in telling you all of this is that companies are more willing than ever to offer telecommuting options. And, they are relying on outsource options evermore as well.

Hence, if you see a company that offers telecommuting options, that's a good one to apply to as a freelancer. For more info on telecommuting careers, see the aforementioned article on CareerBuilder.com, 10 Jobs That Let You Work From Home.

Two New Moneymaking Freelance Writing Ebooks

FYI, I'm about 25% finished with the newest ebook from Inkwell Editorial entitled How to Find Unpublished Freelance Writing Jobs. I manage to stay pretty busy as a freelance writer. Part of that is due to the fact that I seek out assignments in unfamiliar ways. This ebook will address how to go about doing that so that your pipeline is practically always full.

I will be releasing two new ebooks within the next couple of weeks; the aforementioned one, and I'm putting the finishing touches on How to Start a Popular, Profitable Freelance Writing Blog, the ebook I discussed in the latest issue of Inkwell Editorial's newsletter. Want a copy? Subscribe to read the most recent issue, and all previous issues.
