Out of the hundreds of job boards on the Web today, how do you find those containing projects that you are interested in and qualified for? I have recently surveyed over 300 freelance websites and these are the best boards for freelance writers. The benchmark that I used for judging the board was the number of legitimate projects (as opposed to "business opportunities") and requests for submission being posted every month. I have only included ones posting 30 projects or more a month. * Read the rest of this article at: http://www.wordpreneur.com/markets/job_boards.html 7 COMPELLING REASONS TO GET YOUR NAME ON A BOOK COVER by Michelle McGee-Jones Category: Motivation http://www.wordpreneur.com/motivation Have you ever considered writing a book? If so, maybe you’ve already established firmly in mind your exact purpose for becoming an author. Your reasons may match one or more of those below. Or perhaps you could add yours to the list. Nevertheless, with some 65,000 books being published in the United States yearly, there is overwhelming attraction to joining the ranks of authors. Reason 1: Renown - Did you know that Martha Stewart ("Entertaining"), Harvey McKay ("Swim With the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive"), and Tom Peters ("In Search of Excellence"), were virtually unknown until they became authors? It’s no wonder. Authoring a book heightens your credibility, elevates your prestige and dubs you an expert. It could open the door to television, radio, and newspaper interviews. (You will, however, have to get out there and stimulate media attention.) Having a book with your name on it may also attract public speaking engagements and other business opportunities. It affords you a chance to bask in the spotlight! * Read the rest of this article at: http://www.wordpreneur.com/motivation/name.html WHY WE DON'T WRITE OUR BOOKS by Suzanne Falter-Barns Category: Motivation http://www.wordpreneur.com/motivation In the 10 years that I've taught people how to get on with their books, I've noticed a phenomenon that I'll call "Author's Block." Would-be writers can, indeed, sit down and work when pressed to it. The problem is that they're not so sure they want the pressure of being an author. But they do want to. But they don't. And so on. Ah, the agony of getting on with your book. Well, I'm here to diffuse that situation with a list of what I think are the key reasons we don't immediately set down to write. Perhaps this will help the next time you find yourself polishing doorknobs instead of sitting down to write. * We lie to ourselves about why we can't write the book. We think our stalling is about lack of time, or too much pressure at work, or not enough solitude in the evening. But guess what? Chances are a deeper, darker reason may be at play, like "I'm not supposed to be bigger than Mom" or "What if this thing really takes off?" * Read the rest of this article at: http://www.wordpreneur.com/motivation/dont_write.html ------------------------------------------------------------ VISIT E-FACTORY.COM http://www.e-factory.com 100% free and useful articles on how to build, run, and grow your very own Internet enterprise!
