.....to phone a friend ..... peel potatoes for dinner ..... pick the
kids up from school ..... or write a few words that could earn you
anything from a plastic apron or ballpoint pen, regular freelance writing fees, to a dream house in the sun, a top-of-the-range sports car, or a magnificent hoard of cash prizes and luxury goods! You could even earn a full-time this way!
Dear Reader
Quite obviously you want to write and you'd like to be paid for your efforts! Becoming a well-paid writer could be a dream you've cherished for years but never quite got round to fulfilling. So why have you left it so long to experience the thrill of being paid for something you really enjoy doing? Like writing!
Maybe you don't know where to start, or you're put off by what special equipment and skills are required (a computer, word processor, fertile imagination, good spelling and grammatical ability, and, perhaps most important of all ..... time!)
You need time, plenty of time, quality time, time to think and concentrate, time to write without interference or distraction. And as everyone knows you'll only make real money as a novelist or playwright, as a writer of children's books, regular columns, or by syndicating dozens of articles to hundreds of worldwide editors and publishers? Isn't that how full-time writers normally earn their living?
Well, actually the answer is 'No', at least not exclusively! There are, in fact, many other ways to earn your living as a writer, not all of which bring real fame and fortune, but provide a steady income nonetheless, and few of which are anywhere near as time-consuming and stressful as those listed earlier.
SIMPLE TRUTH #1
Even if just a few minutes a day is all you can spare, you can still be a well-respected, regularly published writer. You can start now, today, and begin receiving commission payments or fabulous cash and consumer awards in just a few weeks.
SIMPLE TRUTH #2
No special skills are required, you definitely don't need a computer or word processor, a desk or telephone. And you certainly do not need lots of spare time ..... because you are about to enter the fascinating world of .....
THE FIVE MINUTE WRITER!
Five minute writers are in great demand all over the world, by editors and publishers, alongside other high-paying clients you'll hear about later. Let them guide you, study their tips and techniques and you can be a well-paid writer, starting now, and discover why many thousands of people wanting to buy your work are eager for more, in fact as much as you can offer.
Whether you can spare just a few minutes each day, or
several hours a day, prepare to discover a fascinating world of
profitable writing opportunities waiting for you!
It's true, you don't have to spend years learning your craft, gathering countless rejection slips, working months on end before you're even recognized as a published writer.
Take Time Out, Grab a Cup of Coffee, Let Me Explain Why The
Five Minute Writer Reigns Supreme
It may all come as a big surprise, maybe you've never even considered this a serious way to make money from writing. No doubt you've heard people shun five minute writing! They say it's unprofitable, it's not something REAL writers do, it's not exactly 'real writing' after all!
Really?
So why did the legendary Edgar Wallace take such delight in five minute writing (he excelled at consumer competition slogans and tie-breakers, and was a regular filler and letter writer for many competitions and leisure publications).
And what of Louise Boggess and Connie Emerson, or Duane Newcomb, excellent writers, successful, too ..... people who, excelling at readers' letters and fillers, have also authored and published many full-length non-fiction books, mostly extolling the virtues of five minute writing as the basis of a full-time, profitable writing career.
So, What Really IS The Big Fuss About Five Minute Writing?
Why is it so profitable? Why do so many people enjoy five minute writing? Possibly because short written pieces (commonly letters and fillers) cover far more enjoyable and profitable writing projects than most people appreciate ..... taking just minutes to produce ..... and covering everything from readers' letters and fillers, to mini-articles, puzzles and quizzes, recipes and household hints, photographs and cartoons, to greetings card verses, competition slogans, and much, much more besides.
That's why five minute writing is considered the best way to begin and develop a successful writing career, and why many established and very well-paid writers stay with this profitable medium, plus:
It's very satisfying to see your work and name in print and the earlier that happens the sooner you become a professional writer, and the smoother the road becomes to longer, more profitable writing assignments.
No bulky equipment and research materials required, meaning you can write, any time, any place, anywhere. A notepad and pen is all you really need to get started on this amazing journey to becoming a well-paid writer.
Fillers can be fitted between longer assignments, offering a change of 'scenery' and more frequent financial rewards.
Every single piece you write can be recycled in columns, articles, even full-length best-selling books, and can continue earning high rewards over months, years, perhaps forever.
Why Publishers (And Other Regular Clients) Need You .....
Why Your Work Will Be In Great Demand
It's not a case of 'cheap and cheerful' for those who publish your work - they need you - to increase interest in their publications, reduce reading times, multiply circulation rates, and cut their overheads.
So, What ARE You Waiting For?
Except, perhaps, the chance to learn exactly how to earn fast commissions and payments from publishers, editors and clients all over the world who are keen to cash in on your writing skills, and ready, willing and able to provide steady earnings for you!
Days from now you could be starting your new life as a five minute writer ..... or still wondering why it took so long to achieve your dream of becoming a well-published, well-paid writer.
