Write Where the Money Is!

It's so true. I don’t have a boss. I set my own schedule. I don’t drive to work. I take time off whenever I want. Magazines pay me to travel all over the world, have cool experiences, meet amazing people, and then write about them. You can do it too.

How many people do you know who have been doing the same job for more than 30 years and still wake up every morning eager to get to work?

It still astonishes me that people pay me to write. To travel, to learn, to research, to meet people all over the world—and to write about these experiences. Now it's my great pleasure to show you how you too can enjoy the wonderful lifestyle and rewards of freelance writing.

Every page of my book is packed with the lessons I’ve learned over a lifetime as a writer and editor.

Everything I tell you in WRITE WHERE THE MONEY IS works. I spell out the exact steps to take to start, succeed, and potentially make tons of money as a freelance writer. You can skim the first chapter alone and start making money as a freelance writer.

Okay, I hear you out there. “Hey, Bob—why would a successful writer bother with a how-to book? And aren’t you just encouraging competition?”

1. I don’t have a poverty mentality. I know there’s plenty of work to go around. It’s an abundant world.

2. I’ve been a go-to guy for young writers and editors looking for advice for a long time. I like helping writers. I believe writers should be paid well for what they do.

3. I’m a practical guy. I write for money. I wrote WRITE WHERE THE MONEY IS for money. (Duh!) My book isn’t philanthropy. But it will save you a lot of time and grief.

4. I’d be happy to refer my friends to really useful books and websites that teach the ins and outs of how to make money as a freelance writer. But I can’t find any.

I’ve tried. I bought books and e-books, signed up for newsletters, surfed the writers’ forums, and visited lots and lots of “how to make money as a freelance writer” websites.

Lots of leads for low-paying gigs. A bunch of myths passed down like folklore. HOPELESSLY out-of-date, old-school advice. Promise-the-moon offers, touting stuff like ebooks that’ll turn you into a six-figure advertising copywriter within a week. (Should I wince or laugh?) Forums? Hardly the place to go for professional advice. The pros don’t visit forums.

Now Google my name: “Robert Earle Howells.” Page after Google page, you’ll find links to hundreds of my stories. I'm not trying to toot my horn here; only showing you that I’m the real deal. I’m a freelance writer who has published more than 1,000 articles in national magazines. Even if I make millions of dollars selling this ebook, I’ll still be a freelance writer. I love doing what I do. And I practice everything I write about.

My 30+ years in the publishing business include a lot of time behind the editor’s desk. I’ve purchased hundreds of articles from writers. I know what works and what doesn’t. I also write for ad agencies and have launched my own Web business. That’s how I know the business of writing inside and out. That’s why I know where the money is.

You can’t get this advice anywhere on the Internet. Nor in any printed book on the market. Not the way I’m presenting it. Not from a real pro.

“Bob understands and explains the business of freelance writing from all points of view—the writer's, the editor's, and the industry's. He takes you through the entire process, from how to generate ideas to how to read contracts to how to find markets for your stories, and each chapter ends with a practical "action plan" checklist. His chapter "We've All Been There," containing advice from successful editors and writers, is indeed worth the price of admission.

"Sadly, I can count on one hand the number of people I know who love what they do for a living. One of them is Robert Earle Howells." Wally Conger www.fireupyourcashflow.com

When you order WRITE WHERE THE MONEY IS, you get the benefit of decades of experience, inside-the-biz scoops that you won’t find anywhere else.

If you can bring real life experience to life on a page, you’re a writer. Fancy turns of phrase, arcane vocabulary, scholarly allusions, I’m-smarter-than-you-are attitudes—these don’t matter a whit. The world wants information and inspiration. Supply plenty of both and you’ll be amazed at your success.

Ideas are everything. And in this chapter, I spell out exactly how you can mine your life experience to generate unlimited, sellable ideas. This is powerful stuff that will leapfrog you over other writers—even experienced pros.

Did I say ideas are everything? They are. But they’re nothing if you don’t know how to pitch them.

Believe me, I’m saving you a lot of grief in this chapter. Every writer needs this information. Publishing can be a minefield. You need to know where to step. For example:

Online, print, and everything in between: Here’s all you need to know about where to pitch your stuff, how to crack the high-paying magazine market, how to make money blogging, writing for article sites, writing e-books, how affiliate marketing and Google AdSense can turn a modest blog into a moneymaking machine.

I number among my friends some of the country’s most successful freelance writers and editors, and here you get the benefit of their generous insights. They share trade secrets—any one of which is...
