Once there are a few people out there that know you, start writing articles on your chosen area of expertise (try to make it somewhat broad so you don't run out of things to write about). Post your articles to sites like IdeaMarketers.com, Opportunity Update.com, and MakingProfit.com. Aside from that, you can join all sorts of distribution lists on Topica.com that allow you to send and receive articles among list members. A lot of people on these lists also have their own newsletters, and will often use your material.

Your articles should be informative and useful, not promotional. Make article unbiased and full of great information, and people will read it. Make sure you include a short by-line paragraph at end saying who you are, what you do, and how to contact you, without hyping things up. Just be sure to leave all mention of those things in this BRIEF paragraph-- talking yourself up in article will only make you look desperate, not smart.

I love every inch of what I do ! Its all related to my writing ! ALL of it! Next for me is audio versions of my stuff, and folks will send me money for that.

And this essay, that you are reading is beginning of a new book; ebook first entitled: *Manifesting E-Media* Why that as a title?

Since there is a mechanics behind having fun and money show up in our lives, and that's what I write about; that is also what I apply to my livelihood of which I have created with Main Thread that runs through all of my writings. Simply themes of *User Friendly Physics*, or *How To Get What You Want w/o Goofin' It Up First!*

So, if you are a writer, please know there is *gold in them thar hills!* But you have to be willing to expand your writing beyond actual book that you are writing or have written.

I have friends who have written Novels, and they keep having them edited and this and that, and as of yet have not made one penny off of their writing; and they keep paying for more edits. They have no energy moving , or momentum to bring money to them in ease. They also are not willing to think past their current manuscript, and are hoping to be discovered, so they worry and wait, and hope.

Well Not me Bub, I wanna have fun while I am creating more of my writing stuff, and part of that fun is being sent money for stuff that I do now !

And yes, I would write and have written much stuff for free, just because I love writing and have to write; but when you make Decision that writing is your livelihood, then at some point all other income streams have to go, so that you can do only that.

It will be at this point , that only source you have as an income are things related to your writing. So you do want to get paid, and are no longer doing only free work. You can't do only free work for love of writing, and live by means that we live in todays societies.

Money helps us live as we choose and our writing can very well be a vehicle of that. And when you can do *that*, then Life is But a Dream !
