Write for the Web: Your Freelance Writing Career

The Critical First Step to Your Freelance Writing Career

WWW_3D You’ve decided you want to be a freelance writer.

Good for you.

Now, maybe you want to be a freelance writer because…

…you’ve always wanted to be a professional writer since you were a little kid
…you’re going to throttle your boss if he puts you down one more time
…you’ve recently lost your job and you need to find a way to make money to live
…you’ve decided you want a career you’re in full control of, no one telling you what to do

No matter what the reason, we bet one thing:

You don’t have the faintest idea where to begin.

We’ve been there. There isn’t a single member of the Men with Pens team who hasn’t been alone, scared, and completely uncertain how to move forward.

We didn’t know everything back then. We knew a lot, we had the skills, but breaking into freelance writing can be tough. We got kicked around until we figured out the ropes. Then we got a lot wiser and way more badass.

That’s about when we thought to ourselves, “It doesn’t have to be this way. New writers shouldn’t have to feel lost and confused or scared.” So we wrote this ebook for you, because we don’t want you to feel as helpless as we once did, way back then.

We broke the code of how to start a successful writing business for you.

We succeeded. We’re still here today, going strong and raking in clients. And we’re here to share what we know so you can become a successful freelance writer, too.

In Write for the Web, you’ll learn:

Why you already have the skills you need to become a professional web writer. Yes, even you.
The bare bones of what you need to get started (we’ll bet you already have them).
How to land your very first client ever. And the one after that. And the one after that.
What to tell potential clients when you’re writing a proposal. And what to tell them when they accept.
How to organize your business so that when clients start rolling in, you won’t freak out or miss deadlines or do anything else that clients hate.
What clients hate. We’ll tell you all about what clients hate. And how to be the writer they love.

Write for the Web is value-packed, with over 85 pages chock-full of wit, wisdom, and insider secrets that help you ramp up your game. You’ll read Common Sense Tips that answer the questions you don’t ask because you feel silly asking them, and you’ll discover the information you really need to know.

Forget tips and tricks. This is a hands-on practical guide.

Plenty of ebooks out there give you handy little tips and tricks and so forth about how to write. And that’s all well and good. We don’t look down on that sort of thing. Hell, we do it every day. We call them blog posts. We give them away for free.

What those tips n’ tricks ebooks won’t do for you is guide you through the process of how to be a freelance writer, step by step. If you start at the beginning of Write for the Web and do everything we tell you to do, all the way to the last page, you will:

Start your freelance writing business, fully prepared with everything you need
Create a list of skills that qualify you to write for clients so you can better pitch them your services
Build a portfolio of sample work (yeah, before you get your first paying client)
Find your first potential clients and sent them a kick-ass bid for a project
Land your first client and knock the person’s socks off with your first assignment
Deliver such impeccable customer service that your client can’t wait to hire you again
Get paid a rate you’re extremely happy with from your first assignment
Discover when to raise your writing rates (it’s sooner than you think)
Set up the right systems you need to handle your accounting, time management, and more
Avoid the scams and traps that lurk about the internet for freelance writers like you

We hope you’ll never run into a client who doesn’t pay promptly for the work you did, but if you do, you’ll know how to handle the situation with confidence. Why? Because it’s in Write for the Web, this book right here.

You know what else is in this book?

The hard truths about what you need to know to run a successful web writing business. No holds barred. We want you to know what’s out there, what’s hard, what’s easy, and where you should go next.

In Write for the Web, we don’t hold back. We’re not worried you’ll take jobs away from us – there’s plenty of freelance writing work to go around. And we want you to succeed. We want you to become a great freelance writer so you can come kick our ass.

Purchased your ebook a few months back…loved it. Everything about it is gorgeous-the look, the layout (especially the boxes of tips at the side) and of course the content
- Linda Kaban

Becoming a successful freelance writer isn’t going to happen overnight. We didn’t happen overnight either. But we’re here, we’re doing great, and we did it following the strategies in this ebook.

(Actually, we did it by screwing up a lot, wasting time, losing money, finally hitting on the best strategies by sheer dumb luck, perseverance and determination and then stumbling forward. We just thought you might like your new career to be a little easier than that. You know. If you want.)

And because we believe in giving you your full money’s worth…

Write for the Web also includes an extra-special bonus section on all the venues for the other writing you love to do. The off-hours stuff. The article you want to get in your local newspaper. The short story you always wanted to have published. We’ve had all the same writer’s dreams as you, and this ebook helps you achieve all of them.

Every last one.

Write for the Web is only $24, and you’ll discover everything you need to get started with your freelance writing business today. Try finding a consultant who can help you for that amount of money. Heck, try finding a decent steak in this town.

Seriously.

P.S. We know the P.S. section is prime real estate for readers who skim the top, skip the middle and jump down here to fish around for the information you really want to know. So, here it is, a delightful comparison just for you, lovely postscript reader:

Write for the Web costs about the same as a full-price action movie, popcorn, and a soda. For one.

By the time you’re done with the movie, you’ll be all full of fake butter and sticky soda and you’ll be talking excitedly to your friends about how it was so awesome and how the hero’s no one’s slave, man! You’ll go home and still have no idea how to make money in a way that doesn’t make you feel like a slave to your job.

If you took the money you were going to spend on two hours of junk food and action movie and bought Write for the Web instead, you’d know everything you need to work from home, in your pajamas, and get paid good money for doing something you love.

No one will be your boss. And you’ll be no one’s slave.
