Working For Yourself As A Writer

It’s been a long time coming…and it is for many ghostwriters out there. It’s so easy to become a ghostwriter (once you know how.) It’s so easy that you feel safe…there is guaranteed income so long as you maintain your clients and get the work.

However, there is a REASON that people hire ghostwriters, and that’s because they earn more money than they pay out in fees. This is clearly obvious, though it’s so hard to make the leap. When you know the mortgage payment is looming, it’s way too scary to take on your own projects that lack that all-important guarantee.

Well, recently I’ve decided enough is enough. If I want to move my online income to the next level I simply have to start writing for myself. That means writing articles for article marketing, writing free viral reports, and revving up my PayPerClick campaigns.

Don’t get me wrong, I love writing for clients. And I often do side projects to build my business after I finish the “guaranteed” stuff. I need to do more of this. Clearly, it’s the best option as I’ve already seen after having done a mini product launch over at the Warrior Forum.

One person who I’ve been following for a while is Jason Fladlien. When I bought one of his products I realized that he went through this same thing and came out blooming. His business is going really well! I wrote an e-mail asking his advice and he replied back with some great wisdom.

As we enter the second half of 2008, it’s up to me to put that wisdom into action…the wisdom that takes a leap of faith, but that can be so much more rewarding.

Writers, it’s time to take control of your business! Let’s get some more passive income out there
