How to succeed in anything at all

Want success? You can achieve anything you want when you set goals and stay motivated.

Here's what I said in a recent blog post about how to get motivated to make money online:

If you’re new to making money online, you can get depressed if you don’t have instant success. After all, everyone else is making money, why aren’t you?

Here’s a secret. What people who are making great incomes won’t tell you is that there’s no such thing as instant success. Everyone starts where you are. Everyone mistakes mistakes. Everyone fumbles as they learn.

If you understand that it’s a learning process, and that you will succeed if you set goals and don’t quit, you’ll retain your motivation, most of the time.

Learn the art of setting goals and achieving them. Once you know how to do that, you've learned a master skill.

Next week's ezine: best-ever money-making writing tips

In next week's ezine, our theme is the best money-making writing tips.

Here's an excerpt from the Editorial:

Birds, humidity and walking: is writing the life you want?

It's the end of February in Sydney, Australia, so the humidity which always drifts down from tropical Queensland during the monsoon season is abating. Goodbye to air so moist you feel as if you're swimming, rather than walking.

The air was crisp this morning, with a welcome chill, as Honey, my Jack Russell terrier, and I enjoyed our walk. Even the birds seemed to appreciate the end of the humidity. Clouds of screeching white cockatoos soared from one eucalyptus grove to another, keeping us company, while bright red/ turquoise parakeets startled us as they whizzed past us out of Banksia shrubs. 

(I'm sure these cute little parrots do this deliberately. Honey chases them out of our backyard – this is payback. :-))

I develop ideas for my writing while I walk, and then spend the day writing. Writing all day, every day, (often seven days a week), is the life writers lead. All writers.

Enjoy this issue, which will be out next Tuesday.

Writing Work: How to Get Your First Writing Job

If you've been exploring the online world, you know that there are a lots of writing jobs available. If you'd like to write for money, getting your first writing work can be a challenge, however. How do you convince someone to hire you?

Let's look at a simple process which will help you to get started.

1. Choose the Kinds of Writing Jobs You'd Like to Do

Firstly think about the salable skills you have. If you write in your day job, you have skills which you can sell.

Perhaps you've written marketing collateral, Web content for your employer's site, and reports. You can easily find writing work selling these services.

Make a list of what you can do, and then decide what you find easy to write. If you find writing Web content easy for example, then put Web content at the top of your list.

2. Create Some Writing Samples: This Is Important

I often see writers trying to get writing jobs without a portfolio, and without creating any writing samples. Please understand that this is next to  impossible.

There a many online scams, and no one is going to trust you enough to send you money without having a good idea of what you're capable of doing and moreover, without being certain that you will complete the project.

When you're starting out, there are two things which will sell you to a client: your writing samples, and testimonials from others who've hired you. You can't do much about testimonials in your first job, because you don't have any, but you can certainly create writing samples.

Therefore, please don't regret the time you spend creating these samples. Nothing is more important.

3. Start Where You Are: When You're an Unknown, It's Easy to Get Local Jobs

Many new writers try to get their first writing jobs online. While this is understandable, it's also very difficult when no one knows you.

Get your first few writing jobs in your local area. By area, I mean your city or your state. You're a local, so it's much easier to get writing work from a business which is 20 miles away from you, than it is to get a similar job from a business on the other side of the world.

Call local businesses, or contact them via their websites. You'll soon be hired for writing work, and once you have testimonials, you can write for anyone anywhere in the world.

Tumblr vs Posterous: and the winner is...

Ars Technica has an excellent article comparing the "instant blogging" tools, Tumblr and Posterous:

Posterous is the second such quick blogging service to pop up in the last year or so. Like Tumblr, it has a clean—if plain by comparison—design, is easy to set up, and easy to use. In fact, all that's needed to get started on Posterous is an e-mail—just send one to post@posterous.com, and the service will automatically generate a Posterous blog for you. However, Posterous' reliance on e-mail as a posting tool is both an asset and a liability.

I've got a Tumblr blog, but I haven't posted to it in a couple of years. Of the two services, I have to say I prefer Posterous. It just seems easier to use.

Top 15 Writing Tips To Help You To Write More

In 2006, I wrote "Top Ten Writing Tips To Help You To Write More", and in the past four years, it's been one of the most popular posts on this blog.

Judging from the "thanks!" messages I've received, the tips have helped writers and people who've never considered themselves writers, to: overcome blocks, have more fun with their writing, and in several cases, take up writing careers.

Since it's struck a chord, I've revised the post for 2010 and beyond, with 50 per cent more tips. :-)

So, here in no particular order, are the fifteen best writing tips I've discovered in 30 years of writing.

I sincerely hope you try them, and add them to your writing toolbox.

Tip One: Pay attention to images

Your right brain thinks in images, and when you write, you translate images from your right brain into words.

Usually this process happens so quickly that you're unaware of it. If you can make this process conscious, you can goose up your own creativity. Stephen King calls this process "writing with the third eye --- the eye of imagination and memory."

To become more aware of the process, daydream. Close your eyes for a few moments, and just relax. As you relax more, you'll become aware of images. If you have trouble relaxing, you'll find it easier to catch the images just before you fall asleep. (These are hypnagogic images.)

Tip Two: Making mud/ laying track

Your first draft of any piece of work is "mud" -- raw material. Julia Cameron refers to your first draft as "laying track", another term I like.

If  the first draft's awful, great! It's meant to be. It's only raw material. However, if you don't create the first draft, or you wait until you have a really great idea that's worth a first draft, you won't write anything. Write. Make mud.

Remember that mud is just raw material. It doesn't need to make sense. Whenever I'm relaxed, I tend to scribble. It's amazing what comes as a result of just scribbling. The clue to solving a writing challenge I have today may well be in a scribble I wrote a week ago. Try it...

Tip Three: Just write -- think on the page, or on the screen, NOT in your head

Thinking too much while you write is treacherous, because you can spend two hours "writing" and end up with half a page of work. Write-think. That is, think on the page, not in your head.

This tip has the potential to change your writing life. WRITING is writing. It's discovery. Write whatever, delete the junk, and end up with a pearl or two.

Tip Four: Grow your writing with lists

Listing is a form of brainstorming. It grows your writing, and it's fun.

Listing is an excellent technique to use when you get stuck in your writing, and it doesn't matter what kind of writing you're doing, whether it's fiction or nonfiction. Listing also helps you in the revision process, to add texture to your work.

Here's an excellent FREE software program to help you to produce lists, and to save them. (PC only. Alternatively, try any free mind mapping program.)

Tip Five: Use your magical thesaurus

Your most useful listing tool is -- a thesaurus. Keep one on your desk to kickstart your brain.

Your thesaurus and dictionary are perfect kickstarters. They're also vital tools whenever you're revising.

Got an iPhone? I love the cute and powerful WordBook app.

Tip Six: Make writing the FIRST thing you do each day

If you write at least page, by hand, as soon as you get up, you'll find that writing comes more easily to you for the rest of the day. You're also more focused and relaxed for the rest of the day.

Tip Seven: Set WIG goals --- the best goals are always unrealistic

Writer Martha Beck calls unrealistic goals WIGs: Wildly Improbable Goals. In the September 2002 issue of Oprah magazine she says: "... learning to invite and accept your own WIG can awaken you to a kind of ubiquitous, benevolent magic, a river of enchantment that perpetually flows to your destiny."

A WIG is exciting. Just thinking about a WIG will get your heart pounding. Working toward your WIG (writing a book, writing a screenplay, getting signed on as a contributor at a mass-market magazine) takes hard work. Lots of hard work.

And at the end of that hard work, as Beck points out, you achieve your goal, but there's a twist. You never achieve it exactly as you envisioned it -- you achieve something even better, something you could never have imagined.

I'm a great believer in writing ABOUT your goals. This is because when you write, you're using both sides of your brain, and are accessing your unconscious mind as well. You live in your left brain, which you regard as "you", but you have a silent partner, your right brain, which is also you, and which communicates via images and feelings.

Tip Eight: Separate writing and editing

Writing comes first, then editing. If you try to combine the two, you will block.

Writing should come as easily to you as chatting to a friend. If it doesn't, you're trying to edit in your head before you get the words on paper, or on the computer screen. If you're not aware of the danger of combining writing and editing, you'll make writing hard for yourself, when it should be easy. If you don't have trouble talking, how can you have trouble writing?

Tip Nine: It's good to struggle with your writing

In his book The Breakout Principle, Dr Herbert Benson (who also wrote The Relaxation Response) describes a struggle/ release process that leads to a new level of awareness. When you struggle, and then completely give up the struggle -- just give up -- there's a chance that you can achieve a peak experience which leads you to a new level of functioning.

How does this work in your writing?

Let's say that you're writing a novel. This work is hard for you. However, you keep at it faithfully, working on your novel each day. You struggle with it for weeks. Then you give up. Although you keep writing, you say to yourself: "I don't care any more what garbage I write. I'm just going to do it. I'm just going to write."

This release leads to writing magic. Suddenly you're inspired, and you finish the book in a rush. Although you will still occasionally struggle  with your writing (because struggle is a part of life), you've broken through to a new level of functioning in your work.

This new level would not, and could not, have happened without the struggle.

Tip Ten: Good writing = truthful writing

Writing truthfully can feel like undressing in public, so many beginning writers worry about sharing their writing.

Be compassionate. Firstly, to yourself. Write. Write for yourself. All writing takes courage.

When you finally show your writing to others, you discover the amazing truth that no one cares. In her book "Writing To Save Your Life", Michele Weldon advises: "Get over yourself". No one is judging what you write. So write.

Tip Eleven: Get organized

Really. Yes, I know it sounds boring. Discover how to become an organized writer: it will free your creativity. You can only write more when you're completely relaxed.

Tip Twelve: Make a mess

Creativity is chaotic. Give yourself permission to be messy.

From Top 70 Writing Tips: Write More, Improve Your Writing, AND Make More Money:

I've got a weakness for nice notebooks. You know the kind. They're hard- backed, with artistic covers, and smooth ultra-white or cream pages. The problem is, I used to love these notebooks so much that I hesitated to use them. I "saved" them. They disappeared onto high shelves and into deep drawers. When they've been stored somewhere for a few years, they're no longer special. When I rediscover them, the pages have dried out, the spines have cracked.

So now, before I buy a notebook, I decide exactly what I’ll use it for. Then, as soon as I get it home, I write in it, quickly. I write across the pages, make tiny sketches, and make a list or two. I deliberately mess up the notebook, so that it's mine.

Tip Thirteen: Manage your fear (creative anxiety) so you can write more

It's normal to be scared when you're writing something new, or something which is very important to you. Allow yourself to feel your fear. Where is it located in your body? Often you'll feel it in your tummy, or your throat. Just feel it...

You'll find that if you embrace the physical sensation of the fear (don't let yourself get carried away with any mental chatter), the fear will crest, and will then fade away.

Then start writing. Scribble or type anything at all, and keep going.

Tip Fourteen: Discover that it's EASY to get in the mood to write

Not in the mood to write? Write anyway. Within 15 minutes, you'll be in the mood. :-)

Tip Fifteen: Talk and write and write more

Like to chat? Most of us do. Chat about your current writing project into a digital recorder. Transcribe it, and see? You're writing more. :-)

Has the web stopped you reading books?

Is the web making you dumb?

That is, is it decreasing your attention span, and making you unable to think? It's an interesting argument. I've polled several friends, who say that they read as many books as they ever did, and in many cases more than they ever did.

However, since all my friends tend to be writers, they're not a representative group.

Read this article, Sorry, English major, the engineers have triumphed which states that:

"Kluth, of The Economist, agrees that people will read more 'in terms of quantity, but more promiscuously and at shorter intervals and with less dedication. As these habits take root, they corrupt our willingness to commit to long texts, as found in books or essays... This will result in a resurgence of short-form texts and storytelling, in 'haiku culture' replacing 'book culture.''"

Definitely not so for me, and maybe not for you.

Here are the books I've been reading in the past week (I always spend more time reading books than I do reading the web):

* Reread Wolf Hall. I first read it almost a year ago, when it first appeared, and was eager to read it again. Wolf Hall is on my list of books I'd take with me to a desert island. Wolf Hall is a long book;

* Finished reading Googled. Auletta's book goes a long way to explaining Google's culture, and why the company sees nothing wrong with being promiscuous with users' personal data (viz the current storm over Buzz). Googled is reasonably long;

* Half-way through Can You Forgive Her? I'm rereading Trollope's Palliser novels this year. I last read them at least a couple of decades ago, and I'm enjoying them more now. I reread The Small House at Allington in January; it introduces some of the characters of the Palliser novels. Since Trollope is a Victorian novelist, all his novels are long.

So, what about you?

Has the web stopped you reading books? What books have you been reading? (Please share in the comments.)

Article Marketing for Writing Success

In next week's issue of Fab Freelance Writing Ezine, we cover article marketing.

Here's an excerpt from the Editorial:

Have you discovered article marketing? It's a great way to promote yourself online, and offline. I include offline, because the promotional articles you write for the web will often be picked up by print publications, and will even be included in books (with your permission, of course.)

But what's article marketing? Essentially, it's advertising. You're trading information for the chance to get your name in front of people who can buy your services.

I've been using article marketing off and on for around a decade, as one of my primary forms of marketing.

Does it work? You bet. If you type "Angela Booth" into Google, you'll find thousands of references to my name.

Can it work for you to sell your writing services? Yes it can.  However, there are pitfalls.

You can easily avoid them; let's see how.

This issue is out next Tuesday. Enjoy. :-)

* How To Turn An Ebook Into a Home Business

How to Write an Ebook in 24 Hours

Want to write an ebook? You can do it in 24 hours, and you should. This achievement will give you confidence, because writing your first ebook can be intimidating.

Several writers I know have been working on ebooks for at least a year. Will they ever complete their ebooks? It's doubtful: they've lost their inspiration. Once that's gone, it's hard to get it back.

Big tip: an ebook is an information product. It's not a poor facsimile of a print book. It contains short and useful information which the reader can put into action right away.

Here's how to write your ebook in 24 hours.

1. You Know Top Secret Information Your Readers Want

Unfortunately, there's lots of junk online. There's free junk, and junk which you pay for. Many, if not most, ebooks contain rehashed junk. The sellers of these ebooks find themselves giving their customers refunds, and rightfully so.

Your first step in writing your ebook in 24 hours is to think about what you know. This can be difficult, because what you KNOW is deeply part of you. You don't think it's particularly great -- it's just what you know.

Sit back, relax, and take a mental journey through your life.

Perhaps your grandmother gave you some fantastic recipes which you love and cook for your friends. There you go -- instant ebook.

Make a list of ideas. If you spend half an hour doing this, you'll come up with many ideas -- more than you could write in a year.

Settle on an idea. It doesn't have to be great to you -- you know this stuff, so it will seem pedestrian to you, but others will pay for what you know.

2. Create a List Outline and Flesh It out

An outline is just a list. Create a list of anything and everything that you could put into your ebook. Now flesh out that list.

This is easy, because you're using information which you know.

How many pages do you have? If you have more than ten pages and you've covered everything you want to cover, call it done.

3. Write an Introduction, and Title

In your introduction, your primary task is to inspire the reader. Tell a couple of funny stories about your grandma, if you're writing a recipe book.

Brainstorm titles. Aim for 30 titles before you stop. Choose one.

4. Proofread: Read It Aloud

You've completed your ebook. Proofread it by reading it aloud into a digital recorder. Listen to it. Add information, and delete information: tinker with it until it's as good as you can make it.

Read the ebook aloud to a couple of friends. Do they understand it?

Convert your ebook into PDF format, and there you go -- you've written an ebook in 24 hours.

Create the perfect writing business: become an ebook entrepreneur

Stop trading hours for money. You can remove the blocks on your income with my ebook-creators package. You discover my secrets, developing over years of writing and selling information products.

Ebooks and other information products are HOT. If you can write, you're golden. Get started creating your ebook empire today.

Web Writing Opportunities For 2010

In 2010, web writing skills are in high demand, both at the bottom and at the top ends of the market. If you're already a professional web writer, it's time to spread your wings and diversify into new areas.

Let's look at four areas which will be profitable in 2010.

1. Web Content: Always in High Demand

There's money to be made in web content. Several huge companies have set up web media companies and are hungry for content. These companies won't pay you very much, but they'll teach you to write on demand; they make a good training ground for beginning writers.

Don't stay with these jobs for too long however. You can develop bad habits which will ensure that your writing never develops beyond a basic level.

If you're an experienced writer, look at opportunities in creating Private Label Rights (PLR) content. This is developing into a huge field, with many opportunities. Consider hiring other writers to write the PLR. Edit it, advertise it, and develop relationships with customers, and you can make a six-figure income in 2010 without working particularly hard.

2. Email Marketing: Create Full-Blown Campaigns

Spam filters becoming ever more restrictive, and the difficulty of message delivery means that many companies just gave up on email marketing.

That's changing. Despite delivery challenges, email marketing compares favorably in response rates with other forms of web advertising, so there's been a resurgence.

If you're an intermediate web writer, there's the huge opportunity in creating full-blown email marketing campaigns for companies.

3. Blogging: Hop on the Gravy Train

In 2010 blogs are more popular than ever with businesses. Look through your contacts list and find companies haven't yet created a blog, or which aren't making the most of the blog they have. Make proposals to these companies.

If you know how blogging works and can integrate a blog with other forms of social media marketing like Twitter and Facebook, you'll get plenty of clients.

4. Ebooks and Information Products: the Market Is Bigger Than Ever

The huge market for ebooks and information products is healthier than ever in 2010. Ebooks sell in their millions, and if you're an experienced web writer, this is the area in which you can make the most money, and in which you can achieve autonomy.

It's an exciting time to be a web writer. Make 2010 the year that you reach out and grab the opportunities which are available to you.

"Go From Zero To Making $250 Per Hour For Web Writing - Kick Off Your Web Writing Career In 24 Hours!"

Make Money Writing Simple Articles

There's a huge opportunity online in writing web articles -- if you know which business model to follow.

In Tuesday's issue of Fab Freelance Writing Ezine, our theme is "Make Articles Work For You."

Here's an excerpt from the Editorial:

Just about anyone can sell articles online. If you visit the article directories however, you'll see that most articles aren't written by writers, they're written by marketers. Now, since marketers are not writers, there's an immense opportunity here for real writers. If you know what you're doing.

Most writers don't know what they're doing: they don't take articles seriously. After all, writing articles is easy, isn’t it? You can churn out a dozen articles today before lunch. That's what marketers do. Some actually make money, and here's how: they hire "writers" to write articles for them, usually for minimal pay, of around $2 per article.

Let me show you how marketers make money from articles. (By the way, in "buyers" I include the web content factories, like Demand Media.)

How to Work from Home, Writing Articles

Each and every day I receive email messages from writers asking about a writing career. The messages have this theme: "Can I make money writing? It sounds too good to be true..."

On a good day, I smile at these messages. On a bad day, the naivete fails to charm, and I snarl.

Of course I understand where these writers are coming from: they see the world through a cracked lens.

Think about it. What do you see on the web? Words. What do you see everywhere you look as you go through your day? Words, words, words. Words are everywhere.

Writers write the words which you see, read, and hear.

Writing is a COMMERCIAL activity. It's not a hobby.
