LAUNCHING A SUCCESSFUL FREELANCE WEB WRITING CAREER
THE _WEB WRITER'S GUIDE TO LAUNCHING A SUCCESSFUL FREELANCE WEB
WRITING CAREER_ IS THE FIRST IN AN E-BOOK SERIES FROM
WEBWRITERSGUIDE.COM.
I'M A FREELANCE WEB WRITER. I'VE STRUGGLED. I'VE HAD TO WORK HARD.
AND I'VE LEARNED A LOT ALONG THE WAY. I WROTE THIS E-BOOK, BECAUSE I
WAS SICK AND TIRED OF SEEING NEW WRITERS BURIED IN A MOUNTAIN OF BAD
INFORMATION.
I WANT YOU TO HAVE HONEST INFORMATION THAT I ONLY _WISH_ I HAD WHEN I
WAS IN YOUR SHOES. I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU TO BID LOW FOR WRITING
GIGS BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO START OUT. CAN IT WORK? SURE. BUT
IT'S NOT THE _BEST_ WAY TO START A CAREER.
COMING FROM A MARKETING / PR BACKGROUND, I UNDERSTAND THAT SUCCESS
MEANS GETTING THE BEST POSSIBLE RETURN FOR EVERYTHING INVESTED
(WHETHER THAT'S MONEY OR YOUR _TIME_)! THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS I
LEARNED THE HARD WAY, AND I HOPE THIS E-BOOK WILL TEACH YOU SOME OF
THOSE LESSONS SO _YOU_ DON'T HAVE TO.
LEARN HOW TO:
*
SEPARATE FACT FROM FICTION ABOUT WEB WRITING!
*
GET HIGH-PAYING GIGS THAT ARE NEVER ADVERTISED!
*
START BUILDING YOUR PROFESSIONAL NETWORK!
*
BUILD A WEB WRITING PORTFOLIO EVEN WITH NO EXPERIENCE!SET YOUR
FREELANCE WRITING RATES!
*
START MARKETING YOUR WEB WRITING SERVICES!
*
CREATE AN EASY ONE-PAGE FREELANCE BUSINESS PLAN!
*
AND MORE!
I'VE EVEN INCLUDED 13 TEMPLATES AND WORKSHEETS_ _AND A COMPREHENSIVE
LIST OF RESOURCES TO HELP YOU MORE EFFICIENTLY PLAN AND BEGIN YOUR NEW
FREELANCE WRITING CAREER ON THE WEB!
TAKE IT FROM SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN THERE, DONE THAT. THERE _IS_ A BETTER
WAY! I REMEMBER WHAT IT FELT LIKE TO GET STARTED. I REMEMBER WHAT IT
FELT LIKE TO STRUGGLE TO MAKE ENDS MEET. I _NEVER_ CONSIDERED QUITTING
AS AN OPTION. I STUCK TO MY GUNS, AND AM FAR BETTER OFF BECAUSE OF
THAT. YOU CAN TOO! YOU DON'T HAVE TO UNDER-SELL YOURSELF. YOU DON'T
HAVE TO BURN YOURSELF OUT. YOU CAN EVEN EARN RESIDUAL OR RECURRING
INCOME BY LEARNING HOW TO DIVERSIFY YOUR REVENUE STREAMS - GO FROM
SOLELY WRITING FOR CLIENTS TO LEARNING HOW TO WRITE _FOR YOURSELF!_
WHAT YOU GET:

A WEB WRITER'S CHEAT SHEET
THIS IS A ONE-PAGE DOCUMENT YOU CAN PRINT OUT AND KEEP WITH YOU WHEN
YOU'RE WORKING ON PROJECTS. IDEAL FOR THE BEGINNING WEB WRITER, IT
WILL REMIND YOU OF BASIC WEB WRITING PRINCIPLES AS WELL AS BASIC HTML
YOU MAY NEED FOR CLIENT PROJECTS OR YOUR OWN WEBSITES.
WHAT THIS GUIDE _CAN'T D_O:
I'M NOT GOING TO BS YOU WITH SALES SPEAK HERE. I'M NOT GOING TO
PROMISE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BECOME A WILDLY SUCCESSFUL WEB WRITER.
I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU THAT IT'S GOING TO MAKE YOU RICH. IT WON'T
MAKE YOU A GREAT WRITER - I'M HERE TO HELP YOU THROUGH THE BUSINESS,
PLANNING, AND MARKETING SIDE OF THINGS TO TAKE YOUR EXISTING ABILITIES
AND TURN THEM INTO A VIABLE CAREER OPTION.
THE REALITY IS THAT YOU'LL WORK _HARD_ TO MAKE IT AS A WEB WRITER,
JUST AS YOU WOULD IN STARTING ANY KIND OF BUSINESS. IF YOU EXPECT
EVERYTHING TO BE HANDED TO YOU, OR YOU AREN'T WILLING TO PUT IN THE
WORK TO CREATE YOUR _OWN_ SUCCESS, THIS E-BOOK ISN'T FOR YOU!
THIS E-BOOK IS DESIGNED TO GIVE YOU INFORMATION THAT CAN HELP YOU
MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS. IT'S _YOU_ THAT WILL ULTIMATELY DECIDE IF YOU
SUCCEED OR FAIL. I'M BRINGING INFORMATION THAT CAN HELP YOU TO THE
TABLE- _YOU_ NEED TO BRING THE TALENT, CONFIDENCE, AND DETERMINATION!
WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY:
"DO YOU WANT (OR NEED) TO LEARN TO WRITE PROFITABLY FOR THE WEB? JENN
MATTERN DEMYSTIFIES WEB WRITING AND SHOWS YOU EXACTLY HOW TO MAKE GOOD
MONEY AT IT. SHE COVERS EVERYTHING. I PARTICULARLY LIKE THE ATTENTION
SHE PAYS TO ENCOURAGING YOU TO SET YOUR FEES HIGHER THAN YOU PROBABLY
WOULD THINK OF AT FIRST, AND SHE TELLS YOU WHY YOU SHOULD. THERE ARE
WORKSHEETS, SOME STORIES AND MOSTLY JUST DARN GOOD ADVICE FOR ANYONE,
NOVICE OR PRO, WHO IS INTO OR WANTS TO BE INTO WEB WRITING."
- ANNE WAYMAN (ABOUTFREELANCEWRITING.COM / THEGOLDENPENCIL.COM)
I ENJOYED THIS EBOOK BECAUSE OF JENN’S DOWN TO EARTH STYLE, AND HER
UNDERSTANDING OF NEW WEB WRITERS. WRITING FOR THE WEB IS NOT WRITING
FOR PRINT, NOR DOES IT CONSIST OF WRITING $2 ARTICLES. ALMOST ANYONE
CAN WRITE FOR THE WEB, BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PRIME YOURSELF FOR
SUCCESS SO THAT YOU CAN DEVELOP A GREAT INCOME.
JENN’S EBOOK IS PACKED WITH USEFUL INFORMATION. SHE COVERS NEED TO
KNOW STUFF LIKE SETTING YOUR RATES, AND WHERE TO FIND FREELANCE
WRITING JOBS, AS WELL AS HANDLING SOME OF THE PITFALLS, LIKE
REJECTION.
SHE ALSO INCLUDES A MASS OF TEMPLATES AND WORKSHEETS. I PARTICULARLY
LIKE THE ONE PAGE MARKETING PLAN TEMPLATE — USE IT!
AS MORE WRITERS DISCOVER THE WEB, THEY NEED A GUIDES TO HELP THEM TO
FIND THEIR FEET. JENN’S PRODUCED AN EBOOK YOU CAN USE; IT GIVES YOU
A TERRIFIC OVERVIEW OF WEB WRITING. I HEARTILY RECOMMEND IT."
- ANGELA BOOTH (FABFREELANCEWRITING.COM)
AFTER READING JENN'S "LAUNCHING A SUCCESSFUL FREELANCE WEB WRITING
CAREER" TWO WORDS COME TO MIND: EXPERTISE AND ORGANIZATION. JENN IS A
HIGH CLASS FREELANCE WRITER WHO BACKS UP HER WORDS WITH YEARS OF
EXPERIENCE. TO GO ALONG WITH THIS, THE EBOOK IS ORGANIZED BY SECTIONS
MAKING IT EASY TO FOLLOW THE FIRST TIME THROUGH AS WELL AS FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE.
ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO BECOME A SUCCESSFUL FREELANCE WEB WRITER SHOULD
USE THIS EBOOK TO GET STARTED.
- CHRIS BIBEY (CHRISBLOGGING.COM)
"I'VE BEEN WAITING ON THIS EBOOK TO RELEASE FOR MONTHS! IT IS WORTH
MUCH MORE THAN WHAT JENN'S CHARGING. WHEN SHE SAYS THERE IS NO BS, SHE
IS TELLING THE TRUTH.THE WORKSHEETS ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS
ABOUT THE BOOK. JENN DOESN'T JUST TELL YOU HOW TO SET UP YOUR WRITING
BUSINESS, SHE GIVES YOU THE TOOLS YOU NEED TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. SO FEW
BOOKS DO THAT THESE DAYS.
JENN'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE COLLEAGUES AND ALSO SOMEONE I CONSIDER TO
BE KIND OF AN INFORMAL MENTOR. I KNEW THIS BOOK WOULD BE STELLAR AND
IT STILL EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS.
I'VE BEEN FREELANCE WRITING FOR 3 YEARS AND I FOUND THIS BOOK TO BE
ONE OF THE BEST I'VE EVER READ. I NEED IT ON MY BOOKSHELF, OR EVEN
BETTER MY BEDSIDE TABLE!"
- LATOYA IRBY (IRBLANCE.COM / ABOUT.COM GUIDE)
"I HAVE TO SAY THAT THERE ARE TIPS IN HERE I'D WISHED I HAD KNOWN NOT
JUST STARTING OUT AS A WEB WRITER -- BUT LIKE LAST WEEK! I THINK MY
FAVORITE THING ABOUT HER GUIDE IS THE WORKSHEETS, WHICH GET YOU TO
BRAINSTORMING AND START TO CREATE YOUR OWN ACTION PLAN TO PUT JENN'S
GOOD IDEAS TO WORK FOR YOUR WRITING CAREER. JENN BREAKS DOWN BIGGER
IDEAS INTO STEPS SO THEY ARE ATTAINABLE.. WHAT IMPRESSED ME THE MOST
IS THAT THERE ARE STEPS ANY WRITER CAN TAKE RIGHT NOW TO IMPROVE WHERE
THEY ARE. IF YOU ARE JUST STARTING OUT, YOU CAN WORK WITH THIS BOOK --
IF YOU'VE BEEN WRITING FOR AWHILE, YOU CAN WORK WITH THIS BOOK TOO. I
TOOK SOME OF JENN'S IDEAS AND STARTED ADDING THEM TO WHAT I AM DOING
AND I FEEL MORE CONFIDENT AS A WRITER.
THERE ARE SOME EBOOKS THAT YOU PRINT OUT AND HIGHLIGHT STUFF AND WANT
TO TAKE NOTES WHILE YOU ARE READING. THIS IS THAT TYPE OF EBOOK. IT IS
LIKE A CLASS IN AN EBOOK!"
