How to Make $100,000 a Year As A Freelance
Writer And Have The Time of Your Life Doing It
Now It's Possible With Bob Bly's Guide
To Freelance Writing
Success
You
feeling the pinch yet? If you don’t know what
I’m talking about, you will.
It’s the squeeze
that happens the minute you decide to ditch your j-o-b and
launch your own freelance writing career.
Ah… the visions
that “freelance writer” conjures...
Freedom.
Unbridled creativity. Fame. Fortune…
Uhhhh… make that
the pinch of poverty.
According to the
National Writer’s Union, In today’s dollars, freelance
rates have declined by more than 50 percent since the
1960s.
Dang. That’s
quite a pay cut.
It gets worse.
They go on to say…
“Freelancers'
rates have been declining since the mid 1960's. For
example, Writer's
Market…shows that writers'
rates at the top magazines have declined by two-thirds to
four-fifths since 1966…."
And check this
out:
“Good
Housekeepingreported offering $1 a word in
1966 and the same $1 a word in
1998 - a full 80% decline in real
pay."
And in today’s
dollars…
"Another way of
looking at these figures is to translate them into 2001
dollars. In terms of these dollars, Good Housekeeping
was paying $5 a word in 1966."
FIVE bucks a
word? I don’t know of any magazine that pays that astronomical
amount.

In Fact I Know Only One Way To Earn
Big Money Like That As A Writer. And You Need A Lot Less
Skill And Patience In This Super-Secret Genre Than You Do
Querying National
Magazines.
In fact, it's
possible (actually it's probable) that clients will
search youout and offer you big bucks
for just a few hours of your time.
But I
digress.
As you’ve just
seen, most freelance writers today struggle to earn even a
living wage. In fact, a recent poll issued at About.com reveals
that 52% of writers surveyed earned a measly 15 grand from
their writing. Talk about poverty wage.
Literally.
Conversely, that
same poll reveals that a mere 2% of those surveyed earned
over a $100,000 per year.
Who are these
elusive two percent?
Well, simply by
working smart...

I’m about to
share the secret super-successful freelancers don’t necessarily
want you to know about. It’s multiple top-secret techniques
writers like Peter Bowerman, John Carlton, Harlan Kilstein (and
myself) use to keep our financial numbers firmly in the
black.
And the
undisputed king of this quiet genre is undoubtedly Bob
Bly.
That’s because
Bob’s proven again and again, year after year, decade after
decade, that it’s not only possible to earn far more than the
“average” freelance wage, it’s possible to transform words into
a $100,000 per year freelancing business.
And he shares a
virtual ton of his secrets within the pages of this incredible
book

simple steps you can take to rapidly establish yourself as an
expert." --Henry Devries
"[The Copywriter's
Handbook] succeeds on two levels. For beginners, it
offers a clear, comprehensive guide to the business of and
techniques used in advertising copywriting. And for
professionals behind a typewriter, the book is a valuable
back-to-basics tool that should be given a prominent slot on
the bookshelf." -- The Los Angeles Times

national clients; developed advertising and marketing campaigns
for scores of small businesses; created attention-getting
booklets and brochures that generated hot leads on a consistent
basis. In short, without Bob Bly, I would not be where I am
today." - Roscoe Barnes III,
Copywriter/Author
"I got a hold of Bob
Bly's book 'Secrets of a Freelance Writer in the Fall of 1999

man wrote pertaining to copywriting and productivity as a
copywriter." - Gary Maxwell,
www.garymaxwell.com

to myself, 'I can do that, I can do that!'" - Ronald J.
Rich

written it or recommended it, I want to read it." -
