Connecting writers and publisher to build attractive content
In: Writing
20 Oct 2009
Becoming an article writer can be both creative and rewarding, for some people it’s the perfect job. But the fact of the matter is, the more you write the more you will earn. For an article writer, being able to squeeze every last drop of writerly juice out of yourself is the route to financial success.
Being a writing machine does not mean you write without emotion or creativity, it simply means you focus on speed, accuracy, and quality. It means not having writers block, not having a problem getting started and being able to keep to deadlines. Read the rest of this entry »

12 Sep 2009This week I tried something new. Instead of someone paying me to create linkbait for them for up to £2,000 I created a piece of linkbait on spec and marketed it to the members of my “Headline and Content Ideas”, newsletter.
Membership comprises mostly of publishers who are hungry for linkalicious content. I priced the content at the low price of £500 and crafted it to appeal to both those on social tagging sites and those who link.
After a few days the content sold, proving that such a market exists and establishing a price point. Read the rest of this entry »

10 Sep 2009You can now buy a piece of linbkait off the shelf, if you are a member of Magnetic Web Content. As an experiment I have put together a piece of content which I think will do well on social tagging sites like digg, reddit and stumbleupon and also get a lot of links.

13 Aug 2009This post also answers the question of finding guest posters for your blog, and finding blogs to post your articles on.
Everyone one knows, or should know the benefits of guest blogging. If not you should really check out these articles which explain why you should be guest blogging and why you should allow guest blogging.
A big problem is finding blogs to post on and other guest bloggers of high enough quality to post on your site. I think I have a solution for you. You can now access the guest post exchange forum on the Magnetic Web Content publisher forums.
It allows members to request blogs to post on and to request articles for their own blogs. This is a service that people have been asking me about for a while and a number of current members are very keen to trade content.
If you are already a paid up member of the publisher forums then head over there now and get some cracking content for your blog and find somewhere to post your tasty content.
Those who are not yet members can join right now for $50 a month. Click here to subscribe.
You will also get access to the headline and content idea newsletter I regularly publish.
You also get access to over a hundred writers, who are advertising services on the forum.
See you in the forums.

8 Aug 2009The question of price for a writer and publisher is always a tricky one. The writer wants to get what they think they are worth, but the publisher wants to pay the least amount.
Hopefully they can meet in the middle and agree on a price that works for both parties.
But what is a fair price?
Having been a writer and publisher myself I know that payments vary considerably. If you have a sniff around the web you can find ridiculous prices quoted on forums like Digitalpoint for $5 an article. I doubt the buyer and seller of such articles could stay in business for long.
But writing has always been low paid, as there is a lot of competition and entry to the market is low. Get a good reputation and deliver results and your price can rise. Some sales copywriters charge thousands for a few days work.
I want to know what you think.
How much should you charge for writing?
