It isn’t enough to know how to write, even if you write well.
The Internet is saturated with great writers and strong voice. If you expect to see true success as an online writer, you must not only know how to write well, you must be able to tailor your language to an online audience, and know how to use the same basic skill set that’s afforded modern writers with more power than at any time in history.
If you know how to talk to an audience rather than at them, and you understand the fundamentals of copywriting and persuasion, you can use those tools to build an author’s platform that will put you and your work before a global audience.
You are lucky.
You’re a writer in the midst of a writing and publishing renaissance, entering a career at the bleeding edge of literary art and commerce.
Digital writing and publishing, along with a forever-flowing social media sea has created a revolution for writers, challenging the old, antiquated methods of broadcast, and completely altering the ways in which stories and information are published.
The balance has shifted.
For the first time ever, writers like you have far more power than the publishers and gatekeepers of yesterday.
Whether you’re a freelance writer, author, or information producer, if you learn to effectively communicate with, and services the needs of, your target market with quality communication, you can create any future you want.
Yet, this type of broadcast doesn’t come naturally for most writers. Sure, the old way is dead, and the new way is wonderful. But it definitely helps to have a friendly hand to show you the ropes along the way.
I’m a born writer, though I didn’t realize it until a few years back. But I’m glad I came late to the party. I’m a entrepreneur first, and it’s those business skills, honed over a lifetime, that have helped me build a profitable writing business, rather than fading to obscurity like so many writers, struggling far too long for far too little.
I’ve had a tremendous year, and the next one promises to be even better. I’m living the writer’s dream, with plenty of time for the things that matter most to me: my family and my creative freedom.
I’m looking forward to sharing everything I’ve learned about effective online writing with you.
