Freelance Writers--Are You Underpaid?

You've got a goldmine right under your nose.

Want to make more money as a freelance writer? Then give your current clients what they secretly desire!

It doesn’t matter if you’re writing for a business owner, a nonprofit organization, a digital marketing agency, or angel investor—if you’re writing for a person, chances are incredibly high that they secretly desire to be an author.

After working as a writer for 28 years, I can confidently say your clients want to write books. How do I know? Because ALL my clients want books. They want big books and short books and print books and ebooks. They want workbooks and journals. And when I'm done writing one book, they can't wait to start the next one.

They want something tangible and recognizable that demonstrates their expertise and truly helps their audience. They want a way to spread their message and expand their brand.

Deep down, they hope someday they’ll write one.

Eventually.

When they get the time.

They may have even started one, and then stopped when they realized it was harder than they thought.

So many business owners, emerging thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and experts I meet say they’ve at least outlined a book, but they don’t have the time or they don’t know where to start writing. They have all the ideas in their heads, but can’t organize them into the right structure. And they don't like talking about it because they don't know there's an easier way.

Enter ghostwriter, stage left! (That’s you.)

Think about it…

Your client secretly desires to write a book.

You’re a writer.

You camake their dreams come true.

If that’s not a match made in heaven, I don’t know what is!

Here's how YOU benefit:

   ?   Books command a much higher rate than any other type of writing project. (You can easily charge 10x to 100x what you’re making for copy and content writing. Really.)

   ?   You enjoy longer-term security, as books take longer to write. (And once a client gets that first book, they can’t wait to write the next one.)

   ?   You can even out your cash flow with monthly payments. (No more waiting to get paid or chasing down invoices weeks after you turn in the project.)

   ?   You can offer to write supporting pieces for the book launch. (Or roll them into a package deal to raise your fee even higher.)

   ?   You can add publishing to your service offerings. (Project management of the book through the publishing stages is a whole ‘nother service to offer after the writing is finished.)

Best of all, you get to work on meaningful projects that make a real difference in the world.

Here's how YOUR CLIENT benefits:

   ?   Business authors can use their book as a lead generator to attract clients and customers.

   ?   Authors are frequently asked to present at conferences and seminars, which puts them in front of more potential clients and customers.

   ?   Authors are frequently promoted in print and broadcast media.

   ?   Authors move ahead of their competitors to become industry leaders.

Published author status is something experts and entrepreneurs secretly desire. You have the power to give it to them. If your current clients haven’t mentioned writing a book… You should mention it! It’s a no-brainer to hire you to help them make that dream come true.

Of course, there’s a lot to learn about how to write a book that inspires, educates, and sells.

You’ve got to know a few things before you just dive in.

At The Nonfiction Book Academy, I teach currently working writers how to build steady incomes by writing and publishing books for their clients. Students learn the entire business from landing clients through book development, drafting, revising, and advising clients on publishing options.

Our next session is starting soon, and there are a few spots left.

(It’s not for everyone. You must be building a writing career to be accepted.)
