Website Copy With Internet revolution finally having realized in its full form, small and big companies alike are looking for writers to write content for their websites. Not only do these companies pay well, but they also give writer a much-desired break. If you’ve written website copy, you’ll have no trouble finding more assignments of same kind. Simply guide prospective client to website and he’ll know what kind of work he can expect from you. Aim for start-up companies at first. They’ll usually hand over whole work to you and you can make a great portfolio.

E-books E-books are not here to replace print books. They’re here to provide an alternative resource for distribution. However, as opposed to print books, e-books are short, contain lots of web links and usually provide answers to a customer’s immediate needs. They can be downloaded off Internet in seconds, and you can profit from a single e-book long after you’ve written it. Don’t get fooled though-- writing e-books takes just as much time and dedication as writing print ones. It’s only mode of delivery that’s different.

Ezines Online newsletters, or ezines as they are frequently called, are becoming rage of publishing industry. Many of these ezines are paying markets and run regular features and columns. Many of them have associated websites too. While pay in this market is less, you’ll be writing shorter articles in much less time. Newspapers Generally, when we think of newspapers, we think news. But newspapers hold a lot more information than that. With regular columns, reviews and updates, latest findings, and point-of-view articles, newspapers are writer’s best bet. And if you’ve gained entry into one section of newspaper, other sections of writing open up to you automatically. Though slow on income, getting published in your local daily is still a major ego-booster!

Newsletters There are many households and small companies that publish newsletters. And all more are springing up each day. These newsletters are a great way to break into freelancing and gather clips. Their requirements are not as tough to meet as those of magazines and most editors are quite quick in their responses. To add to that, some newsletters also pay quite well, sometimes almost as much as small magazines.

Ghostwriting If it’s fame you’re after, you won’t get it here. But you can earn a decent amount of money ghostwriting memoirs, books or even articles for people who don’t want to or can’t write themselves. Ghostwriters are quite in demand today with more and more people trying to preserve their family history by getting memoirs or biographies written. However, apart from money, there’s nothing else. You don’t get credit, fame or even byline.

The prospects for writers today are immense provided you’re ready to experiment in different areas. The Internet has made it easier than ever to find writing assignments not only in your own country, but around world. A simple e-mail is all it takes to apply for a job and send in assignment.

If you’ve been writing articles all your life, try doing some greeting card writing instead. If money is slow, and you could really use some extra money, apply for a resume writer job. If book manuscripts are lying unsold, try selling short stories for a change.

With a little variation now and then, you’ll not only find your income shooting up, but also your inspiration. So next time you find yourself waiting for word on that manuscript, send out a few short pieces instead. It’ll definitely be worth effort.

* Showing off You show your manuscript or article to your friends, family and neighbors asking for opinions on it. Try not to think about check you'll be getting while they voice their thoughts. Some of you may want to hire professional help. In that case, opinions from friends and family don't count.

* Submission Convinced that you have a winner, you approach editors or publishers you're planning to submit to. Arm yourself with a good query and convince them to ask you to send in your work.

Caution: Editors have an uncanny habit of throwing things out window. So, read submission guidelines before making any moves!

* Desperately Waiting A long process, but can vary depending on cruelty of editor. This phase could last from as little as a week, to more than a few months. Try to stay patient, and don't lose your cool. DO NOT send inquiries about your submitted work (at least for first few weeks).

* Rejection If you're new to writing, this stage will almost always have to be dealt with. If you're lucky enough to get accepted right away, you may skip next step. This stage could lead to excessive drinking and spells of depression.

* Repeat Repeat submission and waiting steps as per requirement.

* Acceptance You should be flinging your arms in air and screaming at top of your voice. Try not to scare neighbors though. This stage is marked by a temporary spell of insanity.

* Getting published When your work is published and you're carrying your work all over place to tell people about it, you can be sure you've reached final stage. This marks final line. Now just sit back and enjoy!
