How to Make Money Writing!
Before we begin, for those of you who’ve been wondering: No, I do not run all the carnival submissions I receive. In fact, I run very few of them. Most are articles and posts I find myself.

When I used to edit magazines for a living, I looked forward to dealing with the query letter “slush pile.” Sure, I worked for smaller mags, but still big enough to have their own slush piles. And yes, although I could have delegated the work to editorial assistants, I didn’t, preferring to devote at least a few hours a day a week (usually Fridays) to go through the queries.
The queries, after all, represented a lot of the content going into upcoming issues, not to mention the new writers I would soon be working with.

When trying to sell your writing services, at some point your prospect is going to ask you for “clips” or samples of your work to back up your claim that you not only can indeed write, but write well enough to get paid for it.
If you’re new to the game, you probably don’t have any. Not to worry — we all started somewhere, didn’t we?

I am not an SEO expert — in fact, I’m batting around the idea of hiring someone to handle it so I can focus on stuff I actually want to futz around with, like writing these posts and developing more useful site content — but we do have to deal with it if we want to get our sites some serious play online.
Note to you freelancers who don’t have websites/blogs, eyes glazing over right now and thinking of moving on: You may want to pay attention. There is a fast-growing demand for freelancers who can pump out keyword optimized online articles and content.

I was on the golf course the other day — fortunately enough a place I’ve been able to frequent the occasional weekday on top of my usual weekenders — and I was doubly fortunate to be put in a foursome that included a very pleasant married couple. Funny conversationalists with adequate game, it made for a nice few hours.
It also didn’t hurt at all that the guy, it turned out, owned and ran a successful local business. But even better: He seemed genuinely interested in hearing about what I did, and learning more about my services, particularly the ones that revolved around developing and running a blog.

Welcome to the very first Wordpreneur Carnival!
What is it? Here, let’s have the good old Wikipedia explain it to us:

It is similar to a magazine, in that it is dedicated to a particular topic, and is published on a regular schedule, often weekly or monthly. Each edition of a blog carnival is in the form of a blog article that contains permalinks to other blog articles on the particular topic.”

I remember when the Internet first went public. The word then was no way, no how should you email your queries to editors. Snail mail was it, and the only way.

Bartering is exchanging your services for your client’s goods or services. No money exchanges hands. And I’m not a big fan of the practice.
But it’s a good way to get your writing/copywriting business started. In particular, working these “arrangements” is an excellent way to start filling up your portfolio.
