If you know anything about writers of old you will know that they mostly starved, some to death. Yes, they often had to pay such a high price for their love of writing.

Today everything has changed so dramatically and so suddenly. Thanks mainly to internet and huge hungry market it continues to build at high every day, business of writing has been changed forever.

Sadly however, many writers are yet to fully wake up to new realties of internet and fresh and different business and revenue opportunities that are suddenly within such easy reach of any writer. Many offline writers are still stuck saying that they will never write $3 or $5 articles (see my article on this controversial subject at

Yet same writers had no problem starting off their careers writing 10-cents-per-word articles in old days. Some even wrote for publications that pay in copies and others that don’t even pay (just to get clippings of their published work. And yet those clippings were not anywhere near as effective as “online writing clippings” – that is your articles posted free at article sites, can be today).

But for you to succeed as an online writer you must first understand that all online writing is business writing. In bricks and mortar world business writing is writing about boring stocks and sometimes boring companies and trying to explain why they are so successful or why they have failed. Incidentally I personally find such writing fascinating.

In online writing, business writing is different. You can write on any subject, giving a lot of useful details and advice but in end, you must find a way of getting readers to do what you want them to do. Your objective could be to get them to visit your website or blog for more information and this win higher traffic, which gives you many possibilities. Or your objective could be to get them to head straight to your affiliate website.

Where are quotations used? Quotations are used for many reasons. In scientific arena, quotations are utilized to indicate a previous study that was conducted by another researcher, in which it is currently being referenced to. In media, quotations are used to report on what has been said by politicians, scientists, entertainers as well as business people. Over in modern literature, ideas and thoughts are reinforced through used of quotations that are revered to or regarded as respected. Certain quotations contain universal truths, which are elaborated to support a point to be made. These are also sometimes known as maxims.

Apart from that, there are also beautiful quotations which are thought to be artistic expressions of a certain language form. Sometimes these expressions can be found in poetry or old literature. Furthermore, some quotations are just used because they remind writer of a memorable piece of work or movie.

Proper credit to originator It is of ultimate importance to include name of person whom quotation originated from, after statement of quotation. This is in order to give proper credit to person who first thought of that particular quote, and whom has given it meaning that it has today. Sometimes quotations are used to even reflect personality of original author, either to show great wisdom, great creativity and sometimes even great foolishness!
