If I can do it, you can too. So far this year I have racked up $4426 in freelance income. Now mind you some of this is still coming in and some of it has already come in. I am still trying to reach my goal of $5200 a month but considering this figure was done on February 29 just two months into 2008 I am just shy of being halfway there. I might also add that February was a slow month. I did not spend the time marketing myself or looking for as many new jobs as I should have. The summer months will be even tougher since I will be looking after the garden and the farm more.
Are you wondering how to generate more income with your writing? Maybe you can only write in your spare time because you have a full time job. Either way, multiple streams of income is the answer. Try a bidding agent for extra work, look for online writing or research jobs, take some phone work with a work at home agent and don’t forget magazines. The query process can take a while but when you get a magazine job they generally pay well.
Remember to keep writing - keep marketing and keep your chin up - you will succeed in your goals eventually.
Compelling poetry sure to draw one into another world, Perspective Visions: Enigmatic Masterpieces, is a unique work of art showing the darker side of life and love.
The works in this book were written over the course of many years. The first poem was written when the author, Sheri Ann Richerson, was just ten years old.
As time progressed, the poetry took on a darker, almost haunting perspective.
Perspective Visions: Enigmatic Masterpieces is sure to conjure up mysterious images and undeniable, hidden feelings of lust, love and the darker side of life.

The key to making money is multiple streams of income. My income for January was $2,569.19. I had a few set backs late in the month or it would have been $4,179.19. Now, as some of you know, this did not all come from freelance writing and all of the income is not in yet. However, all of it was made working from home during the hours I chose doing what I wanted to do.
I signed up with West At Home, http://www.westathome.com/, several months ago thinking I would work for them during slow times. So far, so good. I have not put in a full work week yet but intend to try next month. Once spring hits I will be in the garden and occupied instead of staring at four walls during my down time so I figure I better make some extra cash while I can.
I also have written a book, which will be published March 28. My advance was just a dollar and that is the way I prefer it. I will get paid as the book sells and won’t have to worry about selling x number of copies to cover the advance. I have several other books I am working on but none of them are close enough to being finished to brag about yet.
I wrote two Amazon shorts, which are not up yet, but they will be soon and that, along with my blog being posted for sale on the Amazon Kindle, will give me two more streams of income.
So, exactly how did I make this much money in January? I water a few plants for someone for $10 a week, I worked for two bidding agents which brought in a ton of extra money. The faster you write, the more you make.
My biggest income came from two very good paying freelance garden writing positions that I picked up, along with some others that pay less, but offer regular work.
In addition to the writing I read email for pay, have affiliate accounts and give presentations. While there were no paying presentations in Janaury, I did spend time promoting my programs and scheduled two for later in the year.
Does anyone else have a unique way they add to their writing income on a regular basis?

So you have a book or a website but don’t know how to promote it. The key to promotion is getting media buzz. You could hire a PR agency to do this for you or you could do it yourself.
If you intend to do it yourself, then you need to know how to write a press release that won’t get tossed in file 13. The media is bombarded daily with press releases, so how do you make yours stand out, especially when you aren’t a PR agent?
Start with a story - everyone loves a good story. The key is it has to tie in to the book or website you are promoting. For example, let’s say your new website is about your nursery. Start your press release out with a story about your grandmother’s garden and how all the ladies from the garden club would ohh and ahh about her plants. Tell them how that encouraged your love of flowers from a young child on and eventually lead the way to you opening your own nursery. Then tell them about your nursery and why it is unique.
Now you have a press release that will get attention. Once you are in the paper as an expert other people will think of you that way to. Success is all about perception. The better people perceive you, the more people will consult you and the more success will come your way.

Wow! Can you believe it? I have made almost $1900 in 14 days and that doesn’t count what is coming in today! Woo Hoo! I am on the path to success in 2008!
It has been a busy year already. I have two Amazon shorts that I am anxiously waiting to see posted, one book that is in the final stage of production and one that is in the works. The two bidding agents I picked are keeping me busy - busy - busy, which is great! The social networking I have been doing is really paying off in site visitors - and remember, every one of them is a potential customer.
I have one e-book up on my gardening website that is for sale, three speaking engagements booked and a promise of a couple more that just need confirmed. All of this, in addition to the writing work I have picked up on my own.
How is your 2008 playing out? Come out of hibernation and brag about your successes too!
