Ebook Author : Salvation Through Content Writing

Posted: 22 Feb 2012 03:18 PM PST

Passionate artists get serious about modern digital self-publishing for basically two prominent reasons. First of all it is a legitimate and accessible route towards financial independence, and secondly because it affords them the ability to make extra money doing what they love.

Variety

The very best thing about being an independent contractor through content writing and earning extra money is the variety of projects. Ebook authors are used to staring a 40-70 thousand word novel in the face. Most articles in content writing typically run around 250-1300. So one minute a content writer is earning extra money by descriptively typing up 400 words about a tourist destination in Chile, and the next they are tackling another boasting the magical qualities of a Sorcerer from an upcoming MMO game. Within the span of a few hours a content writer could research and compose an article about six completely different subjects.

Pay

As far as the pay is concerned, not only is there great potential, but right out the gate the extra money isn't bad if ones writing skills aren't terrible. Content writing pays a certain amount per word. From a penny all the way up to the heights of a few dollars. Some content writing sites have real-time boards available to choose from immediately, while others are a forum type situation where clients and content writers find one another.

The extra money is made quickly. For eBook authors that spend hours and hours trying to get a single sell, which typically runs from one to five dollars, they could have realistically made fifty honing their writing skills and doing what they love.

Downside

There is only one small downside, and that is the fact that for most content writing, which is commercially based writing, no credit or recognition is given to the actual content writer. However, being a content writer improves overall writing skills tremendously and there is plenty of money to be made. Some clients may ask for you personally thinking you did a wonderful job. This is the case for the typical content writer after getting some experience under their belt.

If you're an eBook author, start looking into content writing to make some extra money doing what you love. It is worth is.

44 Must Read Resources on Content Marketing
We could wrap The Lede this week with this link alone. Broken up into useful categories like “How To Spread Your Content”, “ROI of Content Marketing”, and “Content Marketing Ideas”, Mr. Work and Mr. Siu will keep you reading and learning for a good week. At least.

//

10 Reasons Why We Love Making [and Reading] Lists
Another great list on why we love lists. As Mr. Clark would say, “Metafabulous”. Though it continues to be despised, maligned, and reviled by those concerned more with their pseudointellectual pedigrees than with what actually works in human communication, the humble list carries on. It’s been a faithful literary workhouse for thousands of years, and will continue to be until the day we all stop reading.

//

How to Create a Successful Editorial Calendar
One of the most challenging aspects of any good content marketing driven business is … the content plan. If you don’t think it through, you can easily end up veering off topic, writing randomly, and confusing your audience. An good editorial calendar can go a long way toward avoiding this, and this article goes a long way toward setting one up.

//

The Dirty Little Secret Of Overnight Success
We are, as a culture, addicted to the myth of The Overnight Success. We all know that it’s a myth, but we persist in our belief. Let this article by Mr. Linkner sink in, and be a comforting reminder that you are not alone in your long struggle to make something great.

//

How To Optimize Your Twitter Marketing
Ms. Buyer offers an extremely useful article on the basics of getting it together on Twitter. Some of this will be elementary to you, some might be old hat. Either way, it’s a good mini-refreshment course on how to get found on The Little Blue Bird site.

//

The Upside of Being Ordinary And Obvious
I love this article. By taking the side of the audience first, Mr. Bhargava makes a good case against content that favors the tricky, the clever, and the merely amusing. The ordinary and the obvious — though not necessarily sexy — sell.

//

Jason Fried on Marketing Through Sharing
In my opinion, best link of the week. Watch this three times. Put it into practice. If you get this, you get content marketing. If you get content marketing, you win.
