Writing Course – Is a Writing Course a Wise Investment?
By Barry Walls • Jun 16th, 2009 • Category: RecentAn online writing course can help you to become a better writer…but do they help you earn more? This posts aims to answer that question.
The typical online course has a tutor and you are taken through a series of lessons about how exactly you should form your writing in order to achieve your desired outcome.
The great strength of these courses is that they will teach you everything you need to know about the creative side…which some people struggle with.
One of the weaknesses of these types of courses is that in many cases, the writers they churn out end up earning very little money.
None of the business of writing is generally discussed.
and the result is that many writers are on very low incomes and struggle to do exactly what it is that they love…write creatively.
Is there a solution?
The business of writing is a reasonably simple one…but it has multiple high impact leverage points.
This is especially true for online writing for webmasters which can be incredibly lucrative.
You don’t need a creative writing course to write for webmasters.
However, when you look sites like guru.com you will see the most writers are earning only between USD100 and USD150 per day.
This is barely a living wage for anyone who lives in the West.
By understanding a few basic principles about maximising your income which are applied to almost all other business systems, you can vastly increase the rate at which you earn money as a writer online.
STRATEGIC THINKING OR A CREATIVE WRITING COURSE?
All you have to do is to think strategically about the processes of writing and to answer the questions which perplex many experienced and new writers.
1. How do I get enough work to fill my diary any time I want to?
2. How do I do the work fast enough to generate a significant income?
3. How do I leverage the work already done so that I am not a hamster on a treadmill to build up some equity in my writing business as I move forward?
Once you answer these three questions, you can very quickly increase the rate at which you earn money. Once you do, you’ll be able to earn your living money in the morning and do your creative writing in the afternoon … the best of both worlds….and a nice payback from your writing courses.
