Housekeeping 0 lectures 00:00 Housekeeping 0 lectures 00:00 Start Your New Writing Career Here 3 lectures 10:00 Foreword - Welcome to Easy Cash Writing If you've ever wanted to make money from being a writer, then this Easy Cash Writing course is for you. For the last twenty five years I've been a well-paid freelance writer, which makes me the ideal person to run this course for you. For the last fifteen years I've also taught the art and craft of writing online and offline to students from all over the world. During that time, many people have asked me how they might start earning money from their passion. The fact is, there are hundreds of ways to make money from writing. It's just that most writers get stuck in a groove where they either can't stop writing fiction that doesn't sell, or they believe they're not capable of writing nonfiction and articles that might earn them cash. This course will show you how to change your mindset in this regard and help you realize that paying writing jobs are, in fact, all around you. You simply need to start seeing them because, really, many are already right under your nose! Join me on the voyage of discovery that is Easy Cash Writing. This also section contains an audio version of the previous video lecture - The Easy Cash Writing Foreword - for your use. Listen to the audio in the car or in the bath with your eyes closed. Perhaps listen to the audio just before you fall asleep at night. It is a well attested phenomenon that information received during a semi-meditative state goes deeper into your mind than during normal waking hours. Use this time to put the Easy Cash Writing philosophy deep within your subconscious. Enjoy! What You Need To Succeed You need only three things to ensure you start making money from writing - and soon.
  • The Easy Cash Writing program
  • A pocket notebook or portable computer file
  • The right mindset
Of these, the right mindset is the most important. Opportunities to make money writing are all around us though often we don't see them for what they are. This aspect is discussed at many points throughout the program. In this lecture we begin our journey with a general discussion on writing for a living. But mostly we discover the value of having a notebook... A writer's personal notebook can be his or her most valuable asset. In it, we should record any and all ideas and inspiration we might think of. We should also record possible new markets for our work: not just the titles of new magazines or websites, but also people and companies who might benefit from our skills. Most importantly, in this lesson, we learn how to construct a list of our interests. When writing, we need subject matter. And the best subject matter for us to write about is that which we sincerely care about. We serve our 'customers' best when we are passionate about our preferred topics. For this reason, our first job as an Easy Cash Writer is to make a list of all those areas, topics and subject matters we are most moved by. Go find a small notebook now and commit to making it your most treasured possession. When I released my previous course, The Easy Way to Write Short Stories That Sell, many of my students contacted me to say how much they appreciated the fact they could also download a SCRIPT for the video lectures. Some people actually downloaded the script before the video and read the words along with the video - something I hadn't expected might happen! Also, some discussion of the Simpliv Instructor forums talked about how students also enjoyed having audio versions of the lectures they could download and listen to without the 'distraction' of the videos. I guess there's a hundred ways we can take in information - and the important part is finding some way to make the information stick! Feel free to download the audio files and listen to them at your leisure. Any feedback you'd like to offer me concerning the course, please do. Contact me personally through the Simpliv console. EXERCISE: To Get You Started In this practice exercise we begin small but with an activity that will become more relevant as we proceed. When embarking on a writing career it's easy to underestimate how the simple day to day practice of recording your thoughts and ideas can help you achieve the correct freelance writer's mindset. In the future you will need to be a kind of 'ideas machine' - and the best pay to make that happen is to get used to writing down every idea that strikes you, no matter how seemingly irrelevant or whimsical. What you're actually doing is beginning to train your mind how to think in written words - rather than using your brain and internalizing everything. The writer doesn't think - he or she WRITES instead. Understanding this one little concept will begin to increase your written output enormously - as well as providing you with lots of sellable ideas.
