I recently made an important discovery that I just couldn’t wait to share. You can make money by giving your writing away. Yes, it really is true.

This isn’t some “get rich overnight” scheme or some trick to get you to lay out a bunch of money for a “turn key business”. You have to do the work yourself and it will take some time to set everything in place — but anyone with an elementary grasp of the English language can make this work!

Giving your writing away to web sites, blogs, ezines, and newsletters can really make you some serious cash on the internet and I’m not joking. I have been writing professionally for two decades and I never thought I’d make more by writing for free but I am.

In fact, I make more money giving my writing away than I did selling my articles and columns. That’s right. The truth is that I’m making more money writing part-time for free than I did in any of my full-time paid writing jobs and that includes advances and royalties from the publication of three novels.

There are three ways I profit from giving my writing away. They aren’t secrets and you can use them profitably as well:

~ Traffic for my web sites and blogs (I’ve seen traffic triple within a week from some articles)

~ Reputation building for me and my online enterprises which helps attract clients, customers, and visitors

~ Profit for my advertisers and for me through sales of my own products as well as affiliate income

It really is not a difficult or complicated business model and one any competent writer, or anyone with the ability to string a decent sentence together, could replicate or modify to suit their purpose. I am a writer not a business person, but I know this is working for me and that it could work for you, too.

And let me share one last terrific benefit of this writing business — you can write whatever you want. You aren’t dependent on some editor’s whim or assignment. You don’t need to worry about tightly focusing your work to fit within a publication’s editorial guidelines. You are in total control — you write to suit yourself in terms of topic, approach, and tone. And you’ll make more money doing that then you ever did when you tried to write for someone else. I promise!

Now go out there and give your writing away!

Gail Lindenfield is a well-known British author who has written several self-help books. In Self Motivation, she does a good job of going over many aspects of self development and she provides solutions to a variety of
everyday problems.

Challenges - make sure that are truly enjoyable and that the outcome is worth the risk. Success is built on an astute ability to synchronize challenge and chance.

Risk - before taking a risk, imagine and face the worst possible outcome.

Principles - before starting a project-list your principles and ideals. Keep a clear distinction between core (unbending) values and more flexible ones.

Fear - learn to take control to your response to fear so that you can reclaim your full quota of natural courage. Don’t take on any more fear than what you have judged is controllable by your current store of courage.

Energy - value and use it economically. Use the rhythm of your own energy cycles to your best advantage.

Calm concentration - work on putting yourself into a focused and relaxed state where the body is free of tension and the mind is clear and energized.
Concentration exercise - count backwards from 50, as soon as the mind wanders, go back to 50 and start again until you get it all.

Organization - you must be able to draw upon order when you need it and loosen its restraints when you do not.

Decision making - accept that decision making is stressful. Focus on taking care of yourself while under pressure rather than making a premature decision.

Self presentation - never sell out on your individuality.
Don’t penny pinch on presentation - a high class look will give you a high class feel.

Problem solving - accept responsibility for solving your own problems.

Intuition - make a habit of listening for, and noting down your intuitive response whenever you need to make a decision.
Individuality - ask yourself regularly if you are being yourself. Remind yourself that many of those who have contributed most were individualistic characters.

Action signals - these are symptoms that you feel that require immediate action. Here are several action signals along with a brief summary of her recommended solutions:
1. Guilt
2. Frustration
3. Disappointment
4. Inadequacy
5. Anger
6. Loneliness

Self criticism - make a short self-criticism session
part of your daily habit: What could you have done better today? What didn’t you do that you should have done today? Reframe self put-downs into a neutral format.

Self forgiveness - it’s important to regularly forgive yourself because you are constantly changing and developing, and it is impossible to do this without getting it wrong many times.

Assertiveness - Practice using your directness in low-charged emotional situations first. Deal with your unassertiveness before tension mounts up and you over react to the situation.

Self protection - don’t waste time and energy arguing with people if their opinion is of no value to you.
Reveling in success without fear of failure - Double your rate of failure. Failure is a teacher - a harsh one, perhaps, but the best you can be discouraged by failure or learn from it, said Thomas Watson of IBM. .

States to strive for:

1. Visionary thinking without idle dreaming.
2. Unashamed neediness without selfish greediness.
3. Eternal optimism without denying common sense.
4. Guru worshipping without blind following.
5. Sound self-esteem without ignorant arrogance.
6. Thirst for challenge without imprudent impatience.
7. Steadfast principles without narrow prejudice.
8. Consistent courage without thoughtless gambling.
9. Endless energy without debilitating burnout.
10.Prepared proactively without disregard for opportunity.
11.Solid responsibility without rigid perfectionism.
12.Calm concentration without repressed creativity.
13.Systematic organization without obtuse obsessing.
14.Meticulous planning without stubborn inflexibility.
15.Sharp decisiveness without blindness to consequences.
16.Slick self-presentation without enslavement to fashion.
17.Positive problem solving without immunity to despair.
18.Reliable intuition without acting on every hunch.
19.Searching self-reflection without frustrating self-absorption.
20.Pride in individuality without disregard for human commonality.
21.Deep emotionality without enslavement to feelings.
22.Stringent self-criticism without suffocating self-abuse.
23.Intolerance of excuses without deafness to their message.
24.Sincere self-forgiveness without self-inflicted punishment.
25.Personal power without disempowering others.
26.Assertive directness without thoughtless insensitivity.
27.Skilled self-protection without harmful aggression.
28.Perpetually learning without devaluing my own wisdom.
29.Seriously focused without humorless solemnity.
30.Sensibly self-nurturing without spurning support.
31.Seeker of solitude without reclusive aloofness.
32.Reveling in success without fear of failure.
33.Scrupulously self-healing without dismissing comfort.
34.Amply self-rewarding without rejecting recognition.
35.Inwardly driven without scorning incentives

Key thoughts:

“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because characte is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others
think you are.”
-John Wooden, college basketball coach

“Although they only give gold medals in the field of athletics, I encourage everyone to look into themselves and find their own personal dream, whatever that may be - sports, medicine, law, business, music, writing, whatever. The same principles apply. Turn your dream into a goal and learn how to attack that goal systematically. Break it into bite-size chunks that seem possible, and then don’t give up. Just keep plugging away.”
- John Naber, swimmer, four-time Olympic Gold
Medalist

How would you like to find a great and easy way to get a lot of free publicity for your online business and also get a second stream of income?

Whether you wish to cost-effectively promote your current business or web site, or you wish to get a new significant income stream, publishing yourself is an excellent idea that deserves your serious consideration. Why? Because book publishing is a $25 billion industry in the U.S. alone, it touches millions of lives, it is very viral, it powers the information economy, it feeds the need to know things (a need that people will always have), and you can get into it right now very easily both for profit and promotional purposes. It is an industry that is growing tremendously as people feel the need to know more and more. The publishing industry is almost five times larger than Hollywood’s movie industry. You can get in on it right now, in a few minutes, and start using it to cost-effectively promote your business or have a new income stream.

Anyone can be an author, especially when it comes to nonfiction books and ebooks. Everybody has at least one book in them. You are a unique person, and that makes you posses a unique collection of knowledge, experiences and perspectives that thousands of people out there would wish to hear about. Perhaps you know how to make great candles at home. Or you may know how to market certain products well. Or you may be a great listener. Or you may have some great skills when it comes to looking after pets. Perhaps you know how to save and invest money very well. Or you notice that your friends love to listen to you when you talk sports because of all that you know. These and many other skills are in high demand and desired by certain people all over the world. You do have a book inside you. Everyone does. And with today’s electronic publishing and marketing options, you can produce it for almost no money and market it for very little and still profit very well.

Even if you do not wish to make money in publishing, ebooks and books are excellent ways to promote your regular business, especially online businesses. Ebooks especially are fantastic at achieving this. This is because the top three activities performed online are downloading, searching for information and emailing, and ebooks are downloadable information products that can be emailed. They are highly viral, getting passed on from one person to another if they contain useful information. Therefore, whatever business you may be in, by writing a short ebook with useful information related to your industry you establish yourself as a credible authority, get the trust of your customers, get yourself considered as a point of reference, and best of all you get a useful product that you can give away free at no cost to you and have people pass it on to each other thus giving you free promotion. An informative, small ebook can end up being passed on to thousands of potential customers!
at no cost to you. Of course, your free ebooks would have to contain genuinely useful information that is somehow related to your products and services that you do sell. They would also contain references to your products and ordering information. Your ebooks would become your free sales reps, duplicated and passed on from customer to customer even while you sleep.

You can easily learn how to write ebooks by looking at the various web sites such as Dan Poynter’s Para Publishing web site and many others. (See http://www.imagesofone.com/articles/reviews.asp for over 100 URLs to useful sites regarding all aspects of ebook and book writing and promotion). Writing is easy for non-fiction works. Just write in a natural conversational way. Write the way you talk to people. Next, get it in the right format. If you are going to have it printed, you may wish to consider making it easy for yourself by using the services of iUniverse or Xlibris. These two companies will get your book in print for as little as $99 as a print-on-demand title and get it available on Amazon.com and 200 other online bookshops. Your book will also be available for order from any bookstore in North America. If you are creating an ebook, then the two most popular formats to make it in are Adobe Acrobat PDF and Microsoft Reader. PDF files can be read by over 30 million Acrob!
at users (and new users can download the reader free). Microsoft Reader is also free and, as a bonus, can read the files even on Pocket PC computers. You can find a free PDF writer software package. The Microsoft Reader creator is free.

Writing is just 10% of the job involved. Most of the work, the 90%, comes in when it comes to getting people to know about your ebook. Like any other business, marketing is 90% of the job. Fortunately, it is extremely easy and affordable to market books and ebooks if you know exactly what to do.

Only a small percentage of all books published are sold in book shops! Yes, the vast majority of books and ebooks are sold outside of bookshops! This is probably the most surprising thing to new authors. So where are they sold? Well, they are sold in dozens of places, including:

Online
Book clubs
Corporations
Book clubs
Associations and foundations
Retail outlets
Specialty shops
Direct mail
Catalogs
Libraries
In cross-promotions
In the incentives marketplace
Packaged together with complimentary products
And dozens of other places!

However, getting reviews by the top reviewers and the press is the single most cost effective and powerful way of getting sales for your books and ebooks. First of all, the reviews will get you publicity and drive retail and wholesale sales your way. Also, when you do get the reviews, quote those reviews on your book cover, your web site, your press releases, your sales materials, when you ask for more reviews, and whenever you tell people about your book orally or in print. Reviews greatly increase your book sales by increasing the confidence people have in your book. People are often skeptical and will not trust you straight away until they see that many people already do trust you and your work. Reviews in the press also get you plenty of publicity. And finally, most wholesalers and libraries depend on reviews to figure out what books they shall buy. So use reviews and testimonials extensively!

But don’t stop there. There are hundreds of places and ways you can sell your book. For many books, bookstores only account for less than 10% of their sales. Yes, even best-sellers! Publishing a book truly makes you into a marketing expert because you simply have to sell, sell, sell. But worry not, for it is easy. Be willing to learn from people who know how to sell books and you will find it easy. Fortunately, there is plenty of material out there that shows you exactly how to sell books. Get into it! it could be the best thing you have done for yourself recently!
