Three Moneymakers

Sunday July 6, 2008

Good evening folks! I have three MUST SEE websites for you tonight, all of which could lead you to greater dollars and more bylines in just a few days.

  • The Berry-Brewer bloggers have pulled together a comprehensive list of 67 Freelance Writing Niches that you may want to comb through.
  • Hindsight is 20/20, right? Katherine Huether explains some of the things she would have done differently in her foray into freelancing, so do think about heading over there and benefiting from her expertise.
  • Sorry guys, this one is for ladies only. I have landed so many gigs from Women on Writing's Premium Green subscription service that I simply cannot keep it to myself any longer...although I kind of want to... At only $48 per year, you receive a large PDF booklet listing markets, freelance gigs, and advice articles every month. But the best part of PG is the smallish community of women writers that you join through Google groups. Since it's a paid service, the group is a manageable size and very cohesive. It's so valuable to have this group available. I know that there are free market listings out there, and free writer's communities, but I would not wholeheartedly recommend PG if it didn't have that little something extra.

Yes, thanks for the mention! I like your articles and expertise. And, About.com in general looks a little different to – much more user friendly.

How about if I change my name to Stephanie … then can I hook into the Women on Writing Premium Green subscription?

Poor Steph…steve…it really is a great service. I use it more than my much more expensive EFA service or my MediaBistro service! Great people, great jobs.
