I can honestly say this is a good read for those who have an intrest in writting I used RAMM back in the day and writing is a real needed field.

Hi bro, thank you for the share. It is actually a practical e-book on article writing.
I started writing on fiverr 3 years ago and built my higher paying clients from there.
After a few really good articles I started getting word of mouth referrals and I have been busy every since. So yes it is a book well worth reading,it can help someone. Good job!

There's no need for suspense - the method of getting clients is Googling for companies and writing to them. He provides a nice template email, a sensible Do's and Dont's list and a fair idea about writing good articles (which will be helpful if you can already write well). He is also right about the fact that this method is not likely to get saturated since a very small percentage of people will ever try it.

The success rate is about 6-7 replies per 100 unsolicited emails - a realistic estimate, I'd say. The website displaying your portfolio is not optional if you care to receive any response at all. No business is expected to reply to a gmail address of a complete newbie author.

Review and Comments:



I am a professional copywriter and marketing consultant by vocation. I
can speak on the topic of this ebook as an expert. Along with Kindle and
video marketing, this is how I make my living.



Pros: If you are new to writing or want to know how to break-in to
making more money, this is a solid ebook. The author writes to a
slightly above-average standard and is not presumptuous about what his
skill or area of expertise is.



He does not give much writing advice in the ebook and I was relieved he
did not make it about mechanics. He did not get ambitious by speculating
on what “might” work as most WSOs do. There are plenty of ebooks about
how to write articles or any kind of content that can be found on this
forum.



As a brief aside, it is easy to deduce what his heritage is because of the usage of colloquialisms endemic to the UK.



In the ebook, he focuses on making money by writing SEO content for
higher paying clients. He is correct that there are many buyers for
higher priced content and fewer writers. This happens for lots of
reasons that benefit better writers and marketers. There will always be a
market for solid writing and people willing to pay for it.



Only desperate or poorly informed writers produce content for
one-penny-per-word at a time when prices for good content are rapidly
increasing. Unfortunately, most writers act passively and only react to
the demands of the perceived market.



As long as you can write at an average level and market yourself well,
you can make lots of money. The author is also right about no need for
concern about competition. Every business has competition and this
profession tends to produce rabidly loyal clients.



Good content will always command respect and higher fees. This ebook and
my own beliefs are about you positioning yourself at the top of the
market rather than trying to earn a perceived minimum wage as a
freelancer.



This is real work and takes time, effort and dedication. But the demand
will never disappear and you can determine your earnings. Fees and
prices commensurate with your skills and the quality of your products
are what should drive your rates. Always ask for higher fees.



If you work and educate yourself to write at higher standards, you will
always have all the work you want. Your fees are on target when you
occasionally lose prospects because of price. If you are not losing
prospects because of your fees, they are not high enough.



Cons: He focuses on only one way of writing for higher fees or prices.
SEO content is easy to write and the market for it will always be huge.
It is an even bigger need now because of constant Google algorithm
changes that require engaging site content. This is the entry-point for
high quality content and is pedestrian-level work for the more highly
skilled writers among you. There are many types of content that command
higher rates.



These include:



• Authority Content (articles, web copy, blog posts, etc.)

• Long-form Content

• Ebooks and Guides

• Email and Autoresponder sequences

• Press Releases

• Sales Copy

• Sales Letters

• Direct Response Copy

• Copywriting

• Script Writing

• Product Reviews

• Kindle

• PLR

• Product Creation and Development

• Variations and Combinations of These



Develop any of these as a specialization and find a niche market and –
everyone in that microcosm will beat down your door with money-in-hand
when you approach them.



In 2013, I cannot tell you what it feels like to write $50 articles. I
have not written for rates that low in fifteen years or more. However,
this author has made writing SEO content his primary focus and he gives
some good advice and resources you can use to make a healthy income.



He claims a high figure income and I believe him – but you can earn
more. He works 5-hours-per-day, 5-days-per-week – I believe that figure
too.



The email he uses is one of the weaknesses in this product and can be
improved dramatically. He did not place enough emphasis on the most
critical element of the email – the subject line.



It doesn’t matter what you write in the email if it doesn’t get opened.



His primary prospecting method is a blunt instrument. Arbitrarily
searching Google (as he does) to target and acquire clients works, but
there are better ways. Identifying and closing prospects is a huge
factor in getting as much work as you want.



If you place emphasis on your client prospecting, identification and
acquisition process – your fees can be (within reason) whatever you
believe you are worth. The more obscure or lackluster the business or
niche is, the more buyers exist that are willing to pay you top dollar
to write for them.



Specialization is almost always a good thing for aspiring authors that
want to be paid what they are worth. Position yourself as an expert or
authority in any niche and people will buy all you can write.



Would you rather have a full workload all the days you want to write -
or have to search for new business due to an empty pipeline? This is an
attitudinal shift – would you rather be the one saying no to new work
because you have all you can handle?



Or would you rather be the one getting told no when you have nothing to do and need the work? (And income?)



This is what I call the “always busy writer” image and mindset. It means
you always keep prospects and clients in your pipeline. They are on
your “waiting list” so to speak. If you are turning work away regularly,
you are doing an effective job of marketing yourself and your business.
(This is a business, which is a huge paradigm shift for many writers.)



You need to do what the author states in this ebook, and allocate at
least 25% of your daily efforts to getting new clients. Doing this
allows you to take on the projects you want and say no when you want –
and that is always a good thing.



To maximize your fees, a professional persona is critical and having a
web site is part of separating yourself from the writing wannabes. He
makes this a critical point in the ebook and I agree completely.



You can work in your pajamas as long as you cast a long professional shadow in everything you do.



As for comments made about whether these strategies work – I can tell
you these strategies and tactics positively work – as long as you do.



This is a solid 38 page ebook. It is perhaps a bit myopic in some areas.
But this business model is completely doable for any reasonably
intelligent person – and someone willing to work.



Grade: 4/5 stars

Great education, Quasar. I am a newbie and have no idea how to respond to your comments on this thread. If I am making a mistake please correct me. I really appreciate your advice. I am a good writer, or, atleast think so, and would e happy to try and see where the ideas get me to. Is it possible to interact with you in general?

Warm regards
