AND YOU CAN WRITE IT OFF YOUR TAXES!

If you are researching an article or material for a book, you
might be surprised what's considered a tax write-off. If you
needed it to get your story right, there's a good chance IRS
will let you take it as an expense.

So what are we talking about? Let's talk the obvious.

==Trips to the library.
==Trips to interview people.
==Traveling to a city where your story is based.
==Conferences to include the fees, motel, and travel.

But sometimes there are other write-off possibilities.

==Self-defense classes.
==Shooting lessons.
==Dance lessons.
==Toastmaster meetings.
==Horse riding lessons.
==Canoe trip.

If your character does it, it's game. To be on the safe side,
also pull an article out of it. Interview somebody no matter
what activity you experience. Scan the situation for a
magazine feature or a guest blog.

What if your character traveled to Charleston, went to the
beach, ate downtown on King Street, visited the yacht club
(assuming she could get in) and later attended an oyster
roast at an antebellum plantation? Sounds like a grand
vacation, doesn't it? If you follow through with this book,
maybe spin a few magazine articles off of it and perform a
couple of interviews along the way, you most definitely can
write off the trip as an expense. Not that of your spouse,
friends, or children, but your costs can pass the IRS
business expense test.

I've spoken to several writers who fuss about the cost of
self-promotion. The readings, signings, speaking engagements.
Publishers no longer pay for those expenses. Some writers
dodge events, considering them too expensive - nonreimburseable.

Maybe they aren't considering the fact they are write-offs.
Next year I'll make numerous trips to promote my new
suspense release in addition to FundsforWriters. I'll
keep meticulous notes of the costs, see places I've never
seen, add wonderful people to my network, eat glorious
new recipes at eye-catching restaurants, and have fun
with my husband sight-seeing.

Step back, look at the overall picture. Spending $50 worth
of gas and an $85 motel room sounds pricey considering you
might sell ten books for $20 in royalties or $120 for a
self-published book. Both appear losing propositions...
until you consider the tax write-offs and the connections
you make this time that might aid future sales in the long
run.

Business, people. It's a business. You invest yourself
with hopes that you'll recoup so much more in the long
run. Regardless, keep track of those receipts. They add up.

WORDS OF SUCCESS

"It matters only that you manifest your genius; it doesn't
matter when. It's never too late or too early."

-- Mark Victor Hansen



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WARNING OF THE WEEK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello Hope:

I have been getting Funds for Writers for years now and
wanted to share my recent experience with Toastmaster Magazine.
They accepted a story and told me that I would get 3 copies of
the magazine. I didn't think anything of it because I always
get copies of magazines in which I'm published. I contacted
the young lady about expecting payment, and she told me that
Toastmasters does not pay people they have not worked with
before. That would have been acceptable had that been in writing.
It is not written in their guidelines, and it isn't written in
the 2011 Writer's Market.

I just wanted you to know so you can share with your readers.
Would love hearing back from other readers if they've had a
similar experience.

Journalist/Professional Blogger/Live Blogger
E-mail: msmarcie@sbcglobal.net

NOTE FROM HOPE:
Here are Toastmaster's guidelines regarding payment.

"Compensation and acceptance of articles is decided on a
case-by-case basis depending on the originality and excellence
of the work submitted. The closer you follow the Writer's
Guidelines, the greater the possibility you will be published.
All accepted articles will be published in the printed magazine
and electronically in the digital magazine."

How to Evaluate a Good Blog Gig and Earn What You Deserve

(5 Key issues to consider)

By Jennifer Brown Banks

Last year, when I landed a blog gig that boasted 100 bucks
monthly for 300-word posts, I was tickled pink. Easy money
I thought to myself.

Not only did this project seem exciting and effortless, scoring
it, along with my other "regular" blogging clients, meant I
could save time, effort, and angst from scouring weekly job
boards and networking feverishly for potential leads.

But my joy was short lived. Not long after accepting this job,
I realized that not all blogging gigs are created equally.

Blog listings are increasingly abundant on Craigslist, Freelance
Writing Jobs, Blogging Pro, and Pro Blogger.net, to name a few.
But what should you look for in "reading the fine print?" What
makes for a profitable pursuit? Here are a few things you need
to consider in assessing a blog job offer or ad:

1. The scope of your responsibility---This may seem like a no-
brainer, but trust me, it isn't. In other words, will you be
required to do research? Will you have to make your posts Search
Engine Optimized? Provide your own topics? These are things to
consider. $50 per post may seem like a lot initially, but if
the subject matter requires extensive research, tech troubles,
and red tape, you'll end up with very little earnings for your
efforts.

2. The amount of expertise required--- Some blog jobs call for
you to know different content management systems to post your
own work (i.e Wordpress, Scrives, Blogger); with others, the
blog owner does the actual posting upon approval. Additionally,
some projects require you to provide your own photos, to be
versed in things like anchor texting and social media. Make
sure to be compensated equitably for your skill sets and your
time. Just like you would in corporate America.

3. The method of payment--- Will it be based upon performance
metrics, like per clicks? Readership levels? Readers' votes? Or
perhaps per post? Per word? Be clear on the terms and how you'll
collect your pay. If it's vague, steer clear.

4. What's the standing of the blog and its owner? Is it a
highly ranked site? Popular within its niche? Many ad placements?
These tell-tale signs will determine how successful it is and
the likelihood of future pay. For instance, I blogged for one
client for a couple of weeks who decided to "close shop" because
things were not materializing the way he had expected. If I had
done my homework, I might have known of his struggles to stay
afloat and devoted my energies elsewhere. As they say, "time is
money."

5. Interaction level with audience---Creating blog posts can
also carry with it the pleasant but time consuming task of
responding to readers and answering related questions. Will
you be allowed to make a general statement of "thanks", to
bypass commenting, or are you expected to address each one
individually? Depending upon your time constraints and personal
blogging style, this may or may not be a concern.

As with any job, the proper "fit" is important for longevity,
success, and career satisfaction. So keep these tips in mind to
make the most of your blogging experience, and to make the most
money for your efforts.

BIO:
Jennifer Brown Banks has blogged for many of the top, award-
winning sites such as PROBLOGGER, Technorati, Daily Blog Tips,
and Search Engine Journal. When she's not blogging, she's likely
in hot pursuit of a good bargain sale.

WHY ADVERTISE IN FUNDSFORWRITERS?

For my first advertising for my fledgling business I needed to
make strategic choices within a very limited budget. I chose
to advertise in two places: the Funds for Writers (FFW)
newsletter and a major writer's magazine (circulation of 100,000).
FFW far outperformed the magazine! From my first FFW ad I got an
immediate and enormous spike in traffic to my web site and within
24-hours had more than 100 people sign up on my website. And that
was just the first ad! Over the course of the six-week ad campaign
I saw a noticeable spike in traffic after each ad hit people's
inboxes and in total garnered at least 500 new sign-ups.

If you're thinking about advertising in FFW, do it!

ANOTHER FANTASTIC REASON TO ADVERTISE IN FUNDSFORWRITERS

Chalet Publishers, LLC, ran an ad ONE TIME in announcing we
were currently accepting submissions. It had been exactly 24
hours since the newsletter and the ad were distributed. Queries,
chapters, entire manuscripts --- the influx has just now slowed
down. We received way over forty responses to our ad, and they
are still pouring in.  (BTW, this is a very good problem!). Just
wanted to let you know we think you and your newsletter rock!
It's just amazing and lets us know just how loyal your fans are.
