“What’s the Fastest Way to
Earn a Living as a Writer?”
From Rebecca Matter, Co-Managing Partner, AWAI
It’s the question I get asked via email and on Facebook most often:
“I need to know which program would get me started making money sooner rather than later, with the most bang for the buck, with complete information on how to find clients and how to charge for my services.”
Put simply, “What’s the fastest way to earn a living as a writer?”
My answer every single time: Write emails!
In today’s e-commerce era, businesses of all shapes and sizes (from your local mom ‘n’ pop to your larger Fortune 100s and 500s) want and need emails written.
That’s why when it comes to launching your career and getting paid to write in the shortest time possible, writing email copy gives you every possible advantage. Take a look:
- Easy to learn. You could realistically learn how to write email copy in less than a week. In fact, I have personally seen some folks become competent at it in less than a week.
- Writing is fun and simple. At most, writing a single email may take up to an hour. The more of them you write, the quicker you’ll get. I personally know a few professionals who can write a single email for a client in as little as 20 minutes.
- Plenty of work. Any business with a website or online presence can use email copy. Why? Emails are the cheapest and most effective way to stay in touch with their past, present, and future customers. And any business that is serious about making more money is going to email their customers on a regular basis. That’s where you come in.
- Better-than-average pay. Even if you are new to writing email copy, you could realistically charge $100-$250 per email you write. Most potential clients will need anywhere from 3-10 emails at a time. That adds up to anywhere from $300-$2,500+ per project.
Another neat perk about writing email copy is that once you get your foot in the door with a client, it can easily lead to more and bigger paying projects.
Email is a cheap way for a client to test your copy. So they really have nothing to lose. The client’s risk is minimal, meaning you have a very good chance to “wow” them.
