Why Internet Marketing Should Be Every Freelance Writer's "Second Business"

If you're a writer, you already have 90% of what you need to make money in Internet information marketing – regardless of whether you've actually been published or not!


Now you can get the rest of what you need to succeed online -- quickly and easily -- and make $100,000 to $200,000 a year "working" only an hour or two a day ... as incredible as that sounds.


Dear Writer/Information Marketer:

Every day I talk to aspiring Internet marketers.

And guess what?

They're envious ... of YOU!

Why?

Well, like you, these newbie Internet marketers want to get rich selling information products online.

But most of them are held back by one factor they cannot easily overcome....

Their inability to turn out clear, compelling prose for e-books ... reports ... web sites ... e-newsletters ... blogs ... e-mail marketing messages ... and online ads.

As a writer, you don't have this problem – and that's why they envy you.

You either already know how ... or can easily learn ... to write everything you need for your new Internet marketing business: copy ... e-books ... bonus reports ... e-blasts ... web sites ... Google ads ... and more.

And that gives YOU advantages that make non-writers in the Internet marketing business turn green with envy:

** They depend on expensive and often unreliable freelance writers for all their writing, causing delays in product launches and marketing campaigns. You can write whatever you need, and have it ready when you need it.

** Top copywriters charge many thousands of dollars to write micro-sites and landing pages to sell information products ... thousands more for online ads and e-mail campaigns ... enough to break the bank for many start-up Internet marketers. As a writer, you can write your online marketing copy yourself – and save a small fortune.

** Non-writers have to commission or research content for their information products from scratch. As a writer, you very likely have an existing library of content you already own – your published and unpublished writings – you can quickly and easily repackage and sell online as information products.

** Internet marketing requires all sorts of materials and documents to be written – from press releases and articles for your e-newsletter, to e-mail marketing and auto-responder messages. It's no problem for you to tackle these writing tasks. But for many non-writers, it's the single biggest reason they never succeed in online marketing!

As the table below shows, you, as a writer, have it all over your non-writer competitors when it comes to Internet marketing.

So, why not turn your research and writing skills into a lucrative part-time or full-time business selling information on the Internet – and grab your share of the millions being made online every day in Internet marketing?

Internet marketing task Cost -- Writers (YOU!) Cost -- Non-writers
E-book writing Zero -- do-it-yourself $500 to $1,000 per book
E-mail messages to your list Zero – write them yourself $500 to $1,500+ per message, depending on length
Landing pages (product micro-sites, long copy) Zero – write it yourself $1,000 to $7,500 per micro site
Google Ad Words campaigns Zero – write and manage it yourself $1,000 to $3,000 per campaign
Writing special reports and other free bonuses Zero – write it yourself or edit content you already own $100 to $500+ per bonus report depending on length
Miscellaneous writing tasks (blogs, social networking, etc.) Zero – write them yourself Varies

The missing link to your Internet marketing success is yours at last!

So given all these advantages – your writing skills, your marketing knowledge, the content you've already written, your editing expertise – why aren't you making money selling information online yet?

All you're really missing is a proven, battle-tested process for taking what you know, have, and can do as a writer – repackaging it as information products – and selling thousands of copies of your material at huge profit margins online.

Now, in my 134-page e-book, Internet Marketing for Writers: a Writer's Guide to Writing and Selling Simple Information Online, I'll give you everything you need to know to quickly and easily turn your love of writing into a six-figure income stream creating and selling information products online.
