GET PAID UP TO $2 PER WORD

Forget about pouring your heart and soul into projects that
only pay a couple cents per word. You can earn much, much
more, once you know how to write for this little-known, but
highly-lucrative market. In fact, some writers routinely
get paid $2 per word to write some projects that are only
250 words in length.

WEB SITE SAVVY

It's the end of the year. We're cleaning up the shredded
holiday wrap, taking down the tree, or doing whatever symbolic
moves we need to do in order to transition from a year of old
habits to a pristine one of new hopes and goals. Writers around
the world are making promises like:

-writing 500 words every day
-submitting twice each week
-finishing the novel
-finding three new markets each week
-attending a conference
-taking a class
-joining a writers' group.

My suggestion is to create your web site. I'm not talking about
the freebies, either. If your writing is a hobby, that's fine.
But if you intend to make a buck at this word-spinning thing,
then create a serious site that instantly tells a visitor you
respect him as well as your writing.

Marcia Yudkin sends out a weekly Marketing Minute email to her
readers. They are brief, pointed and smart. Not long ago, she
noted the impact of web sites:

<<According to recent studies by the National Association of
Home Builders, 93 percent of prospective new home buyers
visit builders' web sites to create a short list of builders
who might be a good fit for them.

"They make this judgment based solely on what they see on
your web site, often without ever talking to a salesperson,"
commented Builder Radio. "Gulp.  Never before has having
a professional web site - one designed with a clear
knowledge of what your buyers are looking for and engineered
to deliver relevant information that motivates them to
action - been more vital to your business." >>

Online readers now make important decisions without asking
questions. They expect you, the web host, to provide all the
info they need to be informed. No second chances. Only first
impressions.

If they flip to your page and get bombarded with Google Ads
or pop-ups, they instantly feel like prey to a commercial
gimmick. Yeah, I know. We are commercial. We're selling books.
However, if you want to respect your customer, he has to
feel like HE makes the decision to purchase your product,
and isn't coerced. He doesn't have the time to search
for that blurb, bio or informational paragraph that
nails it for him...makes him decide yes or no on a sale.

Make a visitor work, and he'll move on in a flash.
Make a visitor happy, and he'll buy everything you've got.

A web site isn't an after thought. It's a proactive, very
concentrated forethought. Give a web site some serious
forethought in 2009, and see what happens. Happy New Year!

ARTICLE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FILTRIPS FOR WRITERS

By Gwynne Spencer

Hope Clark wrote in a recent newsletter that sometimes you
just feel like you cannot write another word. She suggested
that with the rainbows come the raindrops, and you just
weather the storm. But there is another way. This dilemma of
being tired of writing isn't writer's block. It's writer's
burnout.

She suggested some ways to just keep on keeping on, but I
have found that when your fuse is charred, it's really hard
to keep going. So when the going gets tough, the tough get
going--on a FIELD TRIP. First, you need to choose someplace
where you can write while you spy on people (remember Harriet
the Spy?). Go to the mall and watch the moms and kids. Take
notes. If the mall is anathema, go to the post office and
take your notebook. 

In our town, almost everybody has a box, so everybody comes
and goes once a day. If you have a cute dog like I do (weener
dogs rule) you could sit out front with said irresistible dog
and ask people to hold your dog while you go in to get your
mail. You know, no dogs allowed. When you come back, there
will be a story waiting, I guarantee you.

For a different field trip you can go to the video store
and watch what people are renting, or go to the used book
store and watch what people are plunking good hard change
down on the counter for. If you're not writing romance or
westerns, you will be giving it serious thought within the
half hour.

If you are really fried, go to the bus station. You will
find people there who are way ahead of their time--talking
to Mars on invisible headsets, going to visit their grandma
who's been dead for 47 years. The bus terminal in my nearest
"big city"--Salem--is good for ten or eleven pages each visit.
I have to wear my fat pants (they are so ugly they are not
allowed out during daylight except to go to the bus depot)
and my old backpack. I hang out outside sometimes, inside
sometimes. There are always interesting people. They all
have a story and they're more than willing to share with
any body who makes eye contact.

I was minding my own business with a friend at a local
coffee shop and a guy with his arm in a sling came marching
right up to me and told me, all in one breath, how his social
worker stole all his social security money, and he had to haul
him into court and how his girlfriend stole his Corvette and
he had to send the cops after her. And how he was waiting for
the mother ship and did I mind if he sat at the table with me.
Honestly, I cannot make up stuff like this.

Back in the days when I owned a children's bookstore, the
hundreds of kids who came by the busload for storytelling
were often required to write a thank-you afterward. My
favorite of the thousands of identical notes was this one:

Dear Miz Spencer.
Thanks for the filtrip. I rily licked it.
Martin

I remember Martin. It was his fourth filtrip to the bookstore.
He was in second grade. The first time he chose Pat the Bunny.
The second time he chose a book by Harry McNaught on Trucks.
The third time, he took home a book of jokes by Mike Thaler.
His literary growth was astonishing in light of what I knew
of him. On his first trip, when he stepped up to the counter
and I handed him his paper bag and told him to write his name
on it, he turned to the kid behind him and said, "What's my
last name?" I guess things at Martin's home had been a bit
mixed up lately.

I was glad that in his world, as chaotic as it was, he had
books to help him steady the ship, and that he was allowed
to come to my bookstore on a filtrip. And to write to me and
give me a new word for my vocabulary enrichment, so that lo,
these many years later, I could recall his note, his name,
and his neologism. So go take that filtrip and don't forget
your notebook.
