The Reality of Drawing Cartoons for a Living

My mission in writing this blog is to help editorial and creative freelancers make a living as freelancers. In pursuit of this, I try to shed light on what it's really like to work in a certain position (eg, writer, graphic designer, illustrator, etc.). After all, knowledge is power!

During my web surfing today, I found this interesting article about cartoonists. I hope you find it enlightening -- and informative. (Click title to access article.)

Enjoy, and have a good weekend. I remain editorially yours,

Stuffed in a Locker, Giving Needles to Toddlers, Poopy Dogs & More!
by Cheryl Santa Maria

Re: What was the worst job you ever had before you began freelancing? Why?

All my life, people have told me that I should write, which is good because I enjoy writing. I write on my blog, my journal, on loose pieces of paper. I write reviews, editorials, essays, directions to the supermarket . . .

Unfortunately, having the desire to write does not guarantee work.

Right now I am entangled in a Catch-22 that is all to familiar to students and young writers: I cannot get published due to a lack of experience, and I cannot get experience because I cannot get published. I've had many, many, bad jobs. Probably too many to count.

Freelance Writer Series: The Worst Job I Ever Had Before Freelancing

Stuffed in a Locker, Giving Needles to Toddlers, Poopy Dogs & More!

AN EXCERPT
by Cheryl Santa Maria

I've had many, many, bad jobs. Probably too many to count.

I once volunteered to participate in a student film, where I was stuffed into a locker -- repeatedly -- until the perfect shot was captured.

There was also the time I was housesitting for my cousin, who had a yappy little dog that liked to leave surprises in my shoes.

I've distributed flyers, I've worked in factories. I've been a greeter. I've organized files in an office. I've had jobs so dull that I could literally feel my brain turning into mush.

Inkwell Editorial Freelance Staffing Needs

In my May 25 blog post, I broached the question of would Inkwell Editorial start up its staffing division again. Now, as the best things in life seem to happen, the universe has answered the question for me.

We are in need of FREELANCE graphic designers, web designers and copywriters (especially those who specialize in technology, health, finance and marketing).

Why the need now? We have started to advertise for, and take on, projects for clients where they want a complete team in place to produce their marketing materials (eg, sales letters, e-campaigns, direct mail packages, web copy, etc.).

So, instead of outsourcing, for example, just the writing, clients can outsource the whole shebang -- the writing, editing, copyediting, web design, graphic design and even the mailing of their materials. For this, we are seeking to set up relationships with professionals we can call on again and again.

We are looking for FREELANCE professionals with the following credentials:
1. At least 2 years experience within your discipline
2. A dedicated home office (fax, phone, HIGH-SPEED Internect connection)
3. Freelances full-time (some projects are rush, so sometimes turnaround times are tight)
4. At least 3 professional references
5. At least 3 samples of your work

Send all RESUMES ONLY to freelancework [at] inkwelleditorial.com. If we are interested after reviewing your resume, we will ask you for samples, references, etc. later. Please SEND ONLY A RESUME INITIALLY PASTED INTO THE BODY OF THE EMAIL -- NO ATTACHMENTS -- THEY WILL BE DELETED WITHOUT EVER BEING READ. We will only contact those we are interested in working with.

We are gearing up for a very busy fall and look forward to receiving your credentials.

Why You Aren't Making The Money You Want To On The Internet And What To Do About It!

Publisher Note: From time to time, I find articles that nail a topic so thoroughly, I think them worth passing along. The following article expounds beautifully upon lesson #7 in my article, 10 Lessons I've Learned from 19+ Years as a Freelancer & Recruiter in the Editorial Industry.

Copyright © 2006 Dan Lok
Quick Turn Marketing International, Ltd.
http://www.WebsiteConversionExpert.com

Many clients come to me with problems. . . The most common problem I hear from people is they aren't making the kind of money they want to make with their Internet business. They don't know what the problem is and they want me to help. I'll tell you what the problem is.

Most of these people are what I like to call "opportunity seekers." These are people who have too many sites and don't spend any time focusing on ONE business. They may have 20 or 30 websites, with each site only breaking even or making a few hundred dollars every month.

Most opportunity seekers are not making the money they want or achieving their financial goals. Why? They are making a common mistake. They have too many sites, too many interests. This prevents them from focusing their efforts and creating the six figure income they dream of.

Focus Is The Key To Long-Term Success

If you want to succeed on the Internet, you are much better off staying focused. This means starting off with one site or idea and perfecting it before moving on to the next Internet adventure. Far too many people have a "get-rich-quick"mindset. In fact, I'd say almost all opportunity seekers have this mindset. They jump from one program to another hoping one of them will lead to success.

Opportunity seekers are always the first to jump on the next "big" money-making bandwagon. It may be one thing one month, another the next month. They may try to concentrate on affiliate marketing, then switch dramatically to e-book marketing.

Whatever seems to be working for others, they jump into with wild abandon, without considering their true talents, abilities and interests. These people are looking for some easy way to make money. They think they can make money with Google AdSense or just a web page, or even with a multi-level marketing program.

This is NOT how an entrepreneur thinks!

However, this is exactly how an opportunist thinks. They always are looking for shortcuts, and then wonder why it isn't working. It isn't working because you have no focus. You must have focus. You must think like an entrepreneur. Focus is one of the most vital aspects of your success.

My advice to these newbies is shutdown 29 of your sites and focus on one site, the one that best represents your interests. Optimize it. Work on refining it. Refine your sales process and your back end on this single site and make it successful BEFORE you move on to the next site. Yes, I have many sites. But I am Dan Lok. You're not there yet. Perfect your one site. THEN you can think about moving on to other money-making ventures.

Horizontal Vs. Vertical Business

Many people have what I call a horizontal business. A horizontal business has many sites in many different niches, like hobby niches. People who own horizontal businesses have 20 or more separate business ventures.

I recommend having a vertical business instead. A vertical business is a business that has depth and focus. Having a vertical business means if you have a product in a particular niche, like stock trading, focus on selling products related to that and that only. Put all your eggs in one basket and create a funnel effect. This way you'll have one group of customers and you can become a big fish in a small pond.

You'll have all your eggs in one place yes . . . but, youll become an expert egg layer and watch all your eggs hatch with great success. Make sense?What is the problem with a horizontal business? You aren't specialized. It's almost impossible to make a six-figure income with this kind of business because you don't spend enough time on any ONE business.

When you have a vertical business, you have fine-tuned your business so well competitors have a hard time keeping up with you. People can't compete. You also build a strong client base with satisfied customers.

Think Like An Entrepreneur

So, the biggest problem people have is they are opportunity seekers. The key is thinking like a true Internet entrepreneur. Don't jump on the trend bandwagon. Don't ask what the shortcuts are. An entrepreneur has a long-term vision. You have to have a one-year, five year and ten year vision. Find out what you want your business to look like in the long-term. Ask yourself, "What do I want to accomplish ultimately?" Then decide whether your activities fit with your goals.

Stop jumping from one program to another. Focus on one program, one site and one great idea. This is what you have to do if you want to make six figures. It has nothing to do with your knowledge, skill set, experience etc. It has to do more with your focus.

Sit down. Think about it. Stop jumping from one program to another and stop getting sucked into false money-making schemes. Find out what your goals are, what you want to accomplish. This is a far superior approach. Yes, it takes a lot of energy. But it's worth it. In the long-term it's much less tiring than diversifying your business. Once you are an expert in your industry or niche, THEN you can think about diversifying your business.

A Day in the Life of ...… a Ugandan Publications Editor

A new "Day in the Life of ..." story was posted yesterday on InkwellEditorial.com.

EXCERPT
As a Publications Editor, I am responsible for compiling the weekly e-newsletter circulated to stakeholders and lobby groups, compiling and editing a monthly 12-page Policy Review Newsletter, circulated as an insert in one of the country’s leading daily newspapers, and preparing other research and review reports for publication.

On the organizational organ gram, I am ranked among senior program staff, which entitles me to a monthly salary of about $1,300. This pay is not a reflection of the way editors would be generally paid here, but has more to do with the rating of the length of my experience in the field.

How to Use Teleseminars to Promote Your Business and Generate Quick Cash

Brain fart!

Yesterday, I was supposed to post the article, "Freelancers -- Learn How to Increase Your Income with Podcasting." To be honest, between working on the site and the upcoming e-course, 5-Step Jumpstart Your Freelance Career Marketing Workshop, I haven't fine tuned it yet.

BUT, here is a fabulous article on teleseminars that dovetails nicely with this article, which -- I PROMISE -- will be posted next Tuesday.

Enjoy!

***************************

Can I share a secret with you? Teleseminars are some of the easiest money I've ever made. Chances are you've attended a teleseminar lately. Why not produce them yourself? These seminars by phone are fun and easy to do.

Giving FREE teleseminars is a fabulous way to promote your business, help your prospects get to know you better, increase your e-zine subscribers, and jack-up sales. I offer a free monthly teleseminar that gives people an introduction to what I teach (how to get business via an e-zine).

These calls generate me tons of new e-zine subscribers and sales for my home study courses.
Giving PAID teleseminars promotes your business and generates revenues as well. I do one paid teleseminar at least every two months on a different marketing topic, and sometimes I invite a special guest. Each of these events grosses me between $5,000 and $10,000.

You should also consider offering an "intensive" or "bootcamp" series of multi-week teleseminars. You can break up aspects of one topic or do a series on multiple, related topics. My former "4-Week E-zine Launch Telebootcamps" went for $497 and sold out every time.

To get started, you'll need:

1. a bridge line. For less than 30 people, FreeConference.com has worked fine for me. (Yes, it's FREE.) For more people or for paid events, I use a paid line such as from Great Teleseminars, because they come with personal service and an operator if anything goes wrong.

2. an automated way for people to sign up. I use, LOVE, and wholeheartedly recommend AutoWebBusiness. It's an online shopping cart program that comes complete with e-mail autoresponders and link tracking. It also lets you do coupon offers for special groups, and you can automatically track commissions for affiliates.

3. a way to record your teleseminars. You'll want to provide the audio for people to listen to later online or you can make CDs. Record yourself with inexpensive software like Sonic Foundry's Sound Forge Studio, or hire someone to do it for you. I use AudioStrategies (http://www.AudioStrategies.com).

But there's a LOT more to it...

How do you get signups, especially if you have a small list?
Where can you advertise your teleseminars?
What days and times will get you more people?How much should you charge?
How can you get expert guests on your calls for free?
How should you prepare handouts and visuals?
Do people really want CDs, or are they happy with online audio?
WHERE do you start?
