Writing For Others Lesson #1 - Writing As A Business
SUBJECT: Writing For Others Lesson #1 - Writing As A Business
Hi {!firstname_fix},
There are several big advantages of getting into
the “writing business.”
• It’s in demand
• You can learn about the market(s)
• You can find partners
First, writing is in demand. There are far more
marketers who are looking for high quality
content for their websites than there are writers
providing it.
Sure, it’s easy to find writers on sites like
Elance or oDesk but if you’ve ever tried doing
this yourself, you’ve probably experienced the
lack of quality that many of those writers offer.
Some of them aren’t native English speakers,
others just have a poor work ethic - but the fact
is, if you provide high-quality content and
you’re conscientious about the work you’re doing,
you will immediately distance yourself from 95%
of your “competition.”
Next, learning about the markets. I refer to this
in the plural because you can learn a lot about
internet marketing itself, as well as any markets
that you write about.
If you provide high-quality content, and do so
reliably, you will often be able to work with
some successful - and maybe even well-known -
marketers. They will often have you write on
topics that they’re involved in, and you can
learn a lot by watching how they do things.
Believe me, the first time you write an ebook or
report for someone and they take something they
paid you $250 for and turn it into a $5,000
payday, it’s going to open your eyes to the
potential that’s out there.
Along those same lines, you can often leverage
these working relationships into further
partnerships. Successful marketers understand
that writing is often a stepping stone to bigger
and better things.
If you work with a marketer by writing for them,
and later you graduate to creating and marketing
your own products, that marketer is much more
likely to partner up with you as an affiliate or
JV (joint venture) partner because they know you
and they know the quality of your work.

Writing For Others Lesson #2 - Types Of Writing You Can Do
SUBJECT: Writing For Others Lesson #2 - Types Of Writing You Can Do
Hi {!firstname_fix},
There are various types of writing that marketers
are generally looking for. You can offer any or
all of the following types of content:
• Articles
• Blog posts
• Reports
• eBooks
• Copywriting
• Autoresponder emails
• Spinning
Some of these are more specialized than others.
Copywriting, for example, will require you to
have a certain skill set that not all writers
will have. Articles and blog posts, on the other
hand, can generally be handled by virtually any
writer (provided they are comfortable with the
topic, of course).
These different levels of skill will also have a
bearing on how much you can reasonably charge for
your work. Article writers who are considered to
be “highly paid” may charge $25 to $50 per
article, somewhere around 500 words.
Highly paid copywriters, on the other hand, may
earn $10,000 and up for a single sales letter, as
well as a percentage of the sales in some cases.
If you’re just starting out with your writing
business, you’re probably not going to be able to
command those kind of rates until you’ve proven
yourself, but it’s something you can aspire to.
Most writers who can command top-dollar for their
work started out at entry-level rates, just like
anyone else.
When you’re first starting out, articles and blog
posts are typically the easiest work to find.
There are many places where you can market
yourself as an article writer (which we’ll cover
in the next section) and there is a virtually
never-ending supply of marketers and website
owners who are looking for good content.
Reports and ebooks are also popular types of
content for many writers. Both of these types of
content are popular among internet marketers, and
they are often looking for writers who can create
them.
Reports and ebooks may be written to be sold,
given away as bonuses for other products or even
given away as incentive to get people to join
email lists or other lead generation methods.
Many marketers are constantly looking for new
products or giveaways they can offer their
customers, so from your point of view as a writer
there is plenty of demand. Writing reports and
ebooks can be a good way to graduate into larger
types of content and larger projects with your
existing clients as well, so don’t be afraid to
offer your article clients larger projects.
We’ve already mentioned copywriting, and it tends
to be one of the higher-paying forms of content,
but in order to get paid well you need to have a
proven track record. The first few sales letters
you write may not generate the same kind of
revenue, but if those sales letters convert well
and you can build a bit of a portfolio of
successful sales pages, it won’t take long before
you can start charging more.
Autoresponder emails are another form of
copywriting, in some ways, but they will vary
depending on the ultimate purpose. Many marketers
don’t understand how to write effective emails,
or they might not know enough about a particular
niche to write them well, so by offering this
type of content you can often land some fairly
profitable clients.
Generally, marketers who are building niche email
lists are working in more than one market. You
may be able to get quite a bit of work by
connecting with those marketers who need emails
written for them.
Spinning is a bit of an unusual form of content,
and not one that all writers are comfortable
offering.
Article spinning is a bit of a controversial
topic in the internet marketing world. Some
people swear by it, while others feel it is a
“black hat” technique that they would never use.
Spinning is basically the process of taking a
base, or seed article and rewriting it with
multiple versions of each sentence or even word
replacements, using a particular format for those
alternatives. Specialized software, called a
“spinner” takes this “spun” article and outputs
one or more unique versions.
The degree of uniqueness will be determined by
how effectively the article is rewritten, and
this is where a lot of marketers fail when using
spun content. If you don’t use enough
replacements or you’re not careful about the
words you choose, you can wind up with a
variation that isn’t different enough from the
original or worse, doesn’t make sense.
If you offer article spinning as a service, you
can make a pretty good profit per article -
provided you’re working with someone who
understands the value you offer. It’s not unheard
of for people to pay $200 or more for a
high-quality spun article. Even if it takes you
four hours to create that single article, you can
still earn a pretty good hourly wage this way.

Writing For Others Lesson #3 - Where To Sell Your Writing
SUBJECT: Writing For Others Lesson #3 - Where To Sell Your Writing
Hi {!firstname_fix},
There are several venues where you can sell your
writing, some more profitable than others. The
first one that you should always consider is your
existing clients. If you’re just starting out,
this one may not work immediately, but once
you’ve got a few jobs under your belt you should
have a list of clients that you can go back to
whenever you have time available to write.
Along those lines, always make sure you capture
your customers’ information - at least their name
and email address - so you can contact them in
the future. The fact is, they’ll thank you for it
- it’s a win/win situation for both of you.
You’ll have a list of people with whom you’ve
already worked, and understand what they’re
looking for, and your customers will have a
writer who they know they can trust to deliver
high-quality content on time.
Before you go looking for new clients, always get
in touch with your existing clients to see if
they have any work for you.
Another way your existing clients can help you
generate more business is through referrals. You
should always ask your clients for referrals,
even if it’s just a matter of letting them know
that you’re available if they know anyone who is
looking for writing. Marketers who need writing
and don’t have a writer they can trust will often
turn to their friends and acquaintances in the
internet marketing world for recommendations. If
your clients are happy with your work, they will
usually be willing to recommend you to those
people.
In fact, you can even offer referral bonuses to
really snowball your referrals. If you pay a
“finder’s fee” or offer a certain amount of free
writing for every referral an existing customer
sends you, this can really help to push the
process along. If you are looking for new
customers, whether because you’re just starting
out or because your existing clients aren’t
looking for any new content at the moment, there
are several effective places to turn.
One of the best places to find new clients is
through forums. There are many different internet
marketing forums, and many of them have sections
where you can offer your services.
For example, if you’ve been involved in internet
marketing for any length of time you’re probably
familiar with the Warrior Forum. There is a
sub-forum on the site called Warriors for Hire
where you can post an ad for your services. Or
you could offer a special price on your writing
services through the Warrior Special Offers
section.
This is just one example, however - there are
many other forums that have similar sections
available to you.
There are a couple of caveats to forum marketing,
however.
First, you need to take part in the forum and get
to be known. If you rarely post or you join and
immediately post an ad for your services, it’s
unlikely that you’re going to find many clients.
People prefer to work with other people that
they’re familiar with. Even if you’ve never met
them in person, you can get to “know” people
through a forum. Post regularly and interact with
other people to become known.
The other benefit you’ll get from taking part
regularly is that people will be able to see the
quality of your writing from the posts you make
on the forum. This can act as a sort of live
portfolio of your work.
The second thing to be careful of when marketing
on forums is choosing a forum that has a “cheap
is better” mindset. Frankly, the Warrior Forum
suffers from this problem in many ways. The WSO
section has trained members of that forum to
expect to pay rock-bottom prices for highly
valuable products. This can translate across into
other sections of the forum as well, such as
Warriors For Hire.
That doesn’t mean that you can’t find high-paying
clients on these forums, it’s just a warning. You
might get a better ROI by being active on other
forums instead. Another effective way to find new
clients is through freelance websites like
Elance.com and oDesk.com. These sites serve as a
“middleman” connecting freelancers and people
looking to hire those freelancers. They provide a
certain amount of security for both parties, by
moderating the jobs and acting as a sort of
escrow service for the payments.
The drawback, of course, is that they charge a
fee for doing so. That fee is taken out of the
service provider’s payment (that’s you) so you’re
essentially paying them to find new clients for
you.
The most effective way to use these sites is to
find new clients, and then once you have a bit of
a working relationship with them you can move to
working together directly. You might even offer a
slightly lower rate since you don’t have to pay
the fee to the freelance sites.
For example, if you’re paying them a 10% fee on
every job you do, you could offer your client a
5% discount for working together directly and
still wind up making more money.
Just be careful if you choose to pursue this
option. Some of the freelance sites (such as
Fiverr.com for example) have rules about trying
to move offsite for future projects. You want to
be sure that you’re not breaking any rules by
discussing this with your clients.
Another interesting way that you can sell your
writing is by creating PLR, or Private Label
Rights offers.
Private Label Rights means that the buyers have
the right to use the content virtually any way
they like. They can edit it however they wish,
put their own name on it and generally treat it
just like content they had written themselves.
The disadvantage of PLR from a buyer’s
perspective is actually one of its strongest
advantages from the seller’s (yours): Multiple
people can buy the rights to the same content
From the buyer’s perspective, this means that
there are other people who can use the same
content - sell it, use it as web content, give it
away, etc. Which creates a certain amount of
competition compared to having exclusive rights
to the content. But from your perspective, as the
seller, you can sell the same content many times
over. This means you can charge less for it and
still wind up making more money.
For example, let’s say you’ve written ten
500-word articles. If you were to sell those to a
single client, and charged them $20 per article
(4 cents per word) you would earn $200. If you
took those same ten articles and sold them as a
PLR bundle charging only $10 for the entire pack
($1 per article) you would only need to sell 20
copies to make the same amount of money.
It highly likely that you could find more than 20
buyers if the articles were on a popular topic,
and the quality is good. In fact, you might sell
100 copies or more, generating much more revenue
with exactly the same amount of work. There is
another benefit to selling PLR content, however -
you get your writing in front of a lot more
people, some of whom might be looking for
exclusive content as well. If they see your PLR
articles are well-written it’s quite likely that
they would be interested in working with you for
exclusive projects as well. Think of selling PLR
as a “front end” offer, with your writing
services as the back end “upsell.”

Writing For Others Lesson #4 - How Much Should You Charge?
SUBJECT: Writing For Others Lesson #4 - How Much Should You Charge?
Hi {!firstname_fix},
The big question on many writers’ minds,
especially when they’re just getting started, is
how much to charge for their work. This is a
tough thing for many people to decide. After all,
they want to earn as much as possible and they
may feel that their work is worth a lot. But
until they’ve had a chance to prove themselves,
buyers may not want to pay high-end rates.
Typically, the best way to charge for your
writing is on a per-word basis. You could charge
1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents or more per word:
• 1 cent per word = $5 per 500 word article
• 2 cents per word = $10 per 500 word article
• 5 cents per word = $25 per 500 word article
• etc.
The same calculations would be used for longer
types of content. For example, a 2,500 word
report would cost $125 at 5 cents per word.
There are a couple of things you’ll need to
consider when setting your prices. The first is
what sort of competition do you have? One of the
forums I frequent has a “Writers for Hire”
section where most of the writers charge 1 cent
per word. If you were to post an offer there at 5
cents per word, chances are you wouldn’t get many
takers.
The other thing to consider is whether or not
people are familiar with your skills and the
quality of your work. If not, you may need to
start at a lower price in order to get some
experience and to prove yourself to your
potential clients. A good strategy in this case
is to make an “introductory” offer at a lower
price than you normally charge, and make that
clear in the offer itself. Let people know that
it’s a special offer and any future work will be
at your regular rates.
You’ll most likely get some buyers who only sign
up because of the discount, but you’ll also
probably get some buyers who continue to work
with you at your regular rates once they’ve seen
the quality of your work.
This type of offer can be a good way to get some
more clients into your “funnel” whenever you feel
the need to find new ones. As your writing
business expands, you’ll soon find that you can
only work with a maximum number of people at any
given time. Ideally, you want to have a few more
regular clients than you can handle all at once.
By doing this, you can often keep your writing
schedule filled without any need to find new
business.

Writing For Others Lesson #5 - Specializing
SUBJECT: Writing For Others Lesson #5 - Specializing
Hi {!firstname_fix},
The last strategy we’ll discuss in this report is
specializing in a certain niche or certain
topics. If you are an expert in a particular
market, you might want to consider writing
exclusively for that market - especially if it’s
a profitable one. For example, you might
specialize in fitness and weight loss topics
exclusively. There are a couple of advantages to
this strategy:
1. It’s easier to write about topics you’re
familiar with
2. You can charge more because you’re an expert
If you pick a topic you know well, it can make
the writing process much faster since you won’t
need to do as much research. And the quality of
your writing will generally be a lot better than
if you’re writing about topics that you’re only
superficially familiar with, from doing some
basic research.
And because your writing will generally be much
higher quality, you can charge more for it. Your
customers will be getting true expert content, so
they will often be happy to pay you the higher
prices.
In conclusion...
Even with all the automation tools that are out
there for building websites and populating them
with content, there is always going to be a
market for highquality writing. If you enjoy
writing, and can provide that high-quality to
your clients, you’ll have a virtually
never-ending market for your skills.
And getting started is the hardest part. Once
you’ve got a bit of experience under your belt
and have some happy clients, you can leverage
that into a full-time writing business if that’s
your ultimate goal.
Remember - the internet revolves around content.
That’s unlikely to change anytime soon, so if you
can help other marketers by providing the content
that they need, your services are going to be in
demand for a long time to come.
This concludes this five-part series on providing
writing services for other marketers. Again this
is only one of the many possible services you
can provide and get paid for.
If you're able to install a WordPress blog,
do a bit of programming, design graphics on
Photoshop or many other tasks then there's money
waiting for you on the table.
