Open a magazine and see your name as an author in it
Pick up a newspaper and view your column
These are not dreams, they can be your reality!
Imagine supplementing your income by writing articles which are in constant demand! Imagine building a career during recession and making money from it. I have done it and so can YOU.
Select from over 3,000 market listings and write for the ones you like. That's what article writers do, and now, you can too! I'll show you how to make the appropriate selection, write a query letter and craft an article which can be published.
Did you know that most novice writers earn only between $5,000 and $10,000 per year? How are you supposed to create a full-time career on this paltry amount? You have mouths to feed and bills to pay. It's no wonder that the term 'struggling writer' is synonymous with most writers. And it's not a surprise to hear a writer has a part-time job to supplement his or her income.
If you work too hard for too little money.......
If you dream of seeing your name in glossy magazines as a well established author.......
If you want to gain the respect and admiration of your peers.......
If you yearn to give up your second job and concentrate full-time on a writing career.......
Then now is the time to shine!
Consider this:
You are starting your career. Or perhaps, you've been writing on a part-time basis and want to break into the full time mode. You've been doing all that a writer is supposed to be doing; pitching for articles, responding to ads in elance.com and guru.com, sending out brochures and cold-calling the businesses in your community. But you are still at the $10.000-$20,000 mark! If only there was a way to do what you enjoyed doing the most, i.e. writing, without having to worry about all the extra jobs you needed to pitch for.
Well, there is and it's really quite simple.
There are easy yet effective strategies you can use to:
Write query letters which will get you the job
Earn high fees from it
Get more and more articles, with editors actually contacting you when they need a piece written
In my new 5 week email correspondence course
"Article Writing And Selling 101"
you will get all the information you need at your fingertips to becoming a professional, highly paid article writer.
"I've very much enjoyed learning from you these past few weeks; you've been a wealth of information. I will visit your website often and hope to keep in touch with you."
Donna McGinnis
"I'm so pleased that I signed up for your "Article Writing and Selling 101" online course and would encourage others to do likewise when you offer the next one, as I'm certain you will!
From the first lesson, you shared your vast knowledge and experience and covered numerous aspects of writing, many of which were new to me. Your passion and enthusiasm for writing came through strongly and gave me great encouragement. I really appreciated the fact that you never pretended that writing is all plain sailing and shared your rejections as well as your triumphs with us.
Your assessments of my five assignments were extremely helpful and your tips, gained from experience in the field (or should I say, the trenches?) were invaluable. Where my confidence faltered, you provided words of encouragement, for example: "writing is re-writing.
also loved the way you shared personal anecdotes with your readers and wish you and your dear family every success.
To anyone out there who's unsure about their writing abilities or needs direction and inspiration, Usha is available and willing to guide you. Thanks, Usha."
Sandi Bryant, South Africa, sandybryant@sonicmail.co.za
"Thanks for the words of encouragment - I need them. I sent off the query and heard back within 24 hrs. They had run a story on geocaching a few years ago and weren't interested. So I am back to the drawing board and will seek some local to New England magazines. Thank you for all your time and thoughtful feedback. I am sorry that the class is over, but I learned a lot."
Michele Bennett Decoteau, http://www.micheledecoteau.com
"Usha is passionate about writing and maintains a superb blog (and website). Passion and respect for people are the two most important attributes of any endeavor. Usha has these qualities within her and has built these into her works. If you are, were, or want to be a writer, her words are heaven sent."

No More Cheap Coffee And Take-Out Meals!
The difference between a struggling freelance writer and one who earns well lies solely in what they do to convince clients to pay them. You can either spend half your time hunting for low paying jobs or having jobs come to you. The choice is yours. Years ago, I too hunted for jobs to get a 'start' in my freelancing career. I also saved up what little money I had and invested it into writing courses to better my skills and knowledge. And it definitely paid off! Suddenly, I didn't have to worry about why my query letters weren't getting any response and how I could move from sleazy tabloids to glossy publications.
And now you can too. In this course, you'll learn the following:
Week One: Introduction and how to get started. It's all about marketing plans and learning to identify different kinds of writing.
Week Two: Learn how to write a query letter (what you should and should not do) and practice with a given template.
Week Three: What should an article comprise of? Learn all about titles, bodies, conclusions and what by-lines, sidebars and abstracts are all about. Also, study the different styles that are popular for magazines and which ones you should use.
Week Four: This week is all about generating ideas. How can you collect great ideas? What do you do when you have them? It also touches upon research and interviews; the two cornerstones to magazine writing. You'll learn how to freewrite and what invention heuristics is all about. And if you love keeping a journal or diary, this is your week to shine.
Week Five: It's all about editors and rejection letters and our love - hate relationship with them. There's a checklist to keep you on track and a list of FAQ's about everything else a magazine writer should know but was afraid to ask (including SASE definition, reselling work, multiple submissions etc).
This course focuses on the 'practical' side to article writing, which means you can get started right away! You don't have to wait till the end of the course to learn what and how you can use article writing to make you money. You begin with exercises to get your creative juices flowing and you end with a query letter and publications to which to send it to.
And as a bonus, you'll have a completed article on your hands, which you can sell to earn back part of or the full amount of the course! Which is only $149.
Think about it; if you follow instructions and guidelines and produce a stunning piece (as I'm sure you would) and sell it, then bam, you've paid off the course in full and anything you make after this is only money in the bank!
I am so convinced that you will benefit by what you learn here, that I am willing to guarantee a full refund if you don't. Use the tips, resources and take advantage of my weekly personalized training and guidance to build your query letters and write astounding pieces. And if you are not convinced that this course will help you learn to write articles and query letter that work, send me an email and I'll refund your money - no questions asked.
But wait, there's more! If you sign up now, you'll get free access to my ezine, Getting It Write! This thrice monthly ezine is packed with free information, resources, tips and advice for freelance writers. And most of my readers will tell you that I'm really generous about sharing resources. There's no skimping on the information I send out. If I'm writing about press releases, then I'll include a list of free and paid sites for you to check out. If I'm talking about coaches, then I'll tell you which ones offer value for money and which ones are willing to give you personalized service. I include job sites where you can register to find well paying jobs and links to actual jobs.
