Start And Run A Copywriting Business
"Start And Run A Copywriting Business" is the best primer on the market! Its easy-to-read format makes digesting the business side of copywriting comprehensible. But it's more than that...each page is full of “been there, done that” valuable advice from some of the top copywriters in the business. Information that gives every beginner a fighting chance—an inside track and a competitive edge. I found the many samples especially helpful!

Outwitting Writers Block
"Outwitting Writers Block" is the only book you’ll ever need to combat that dreaded, “Help, I can’t think of a thing to write about!” scenario. Jenna’s honesty is liberating. Sometimes writer’s block isn’t about fear or a lack of ideas, but rather underlying issues we’ve yet to identify. Jenna tells it like it is, throws in a little humor, adds a little killer advice, and ends every great bit of advice with action taking prompts. But even better than all that, Jenna opens herself up and helps the reader learn from her own experiences.

Marketing Strategies For Writers
Freelance writers offer a product and that product is “writing.” If you’re making below minimum wage with your freelance writing, you need to start thinking like a business and get to marketing. But how do you market, where should you market, what do you market, and who do you market to?

That’s where “Marketing Strategies For Writers” comes in. First, you’ll learn the basics of marketing, then you’ll discover who your customers are and what their needs are, then you’ll learn how to sell yourself and your “writing” through various tips, like the fact that 70% of selling an idea to a publication is the publication’s need for that idea.

Michael Sedge says, “The average 1,000 word article sells for $375.” In order to make $36,000 per year, you’d need to sell 8 articles per month at $375 each. But then he reminds you to take into account the fact that as a self-employed person, you’d have to give up near 50% of your income towards business expenses, taxes, and health insurance premiums.

So how do you make $36,000 per year after expenses? That’s what Sedge sets out to teach you. If you haven’t read this book, you need to get a copy today!
