Peek in on these sites.

You don't always have to be in pursuit of that great American novel to be considered an accomplished writer. Today I would like to offer a short list of sites for you that concern freelance writing possibilities and advice. Other avenues of income are always welcome, are they not? And a brief look through my first suggestion will definitely expand your view of the channels through which you might make some extra income as a writer.

As nearly exhaustive as I have ever seen, this first site is definitely worth a close look and further research. You may well decide that you have the talents and qualifications to fit into many of these listed slots. Perhaps there is on this list something you have never before considered yourself capable of. Take chances and do the research. Compare your writing on a particular subject to that of a recognized expert. You may be shocked to find yourself exclaiming, "I could do that!" This is not to say that you will immediately rise to the top, like cream, of course, but the value is in seeing avenues of expansion that you never saw or considered before--if you do something about it afterward, that is.

  • The next site I would like you to consider also opens up some new frontiers for you, unless you have already done a podcast or audio book. If not, perhaps you should consider doing so. Few people read a book with the same passion as the author of the work. This is your opportunity to bring to life the characters and situations you wrote about--your chance to make them real in the minds of potential readers. The word images you drew can be painted anew in more vivd colors than ever before. Everyone loves a story and it is more riveting to many when they are told the story. So, take a look and consider this--even if it is only an excerpt. Don't worry about lost revenue, as there are still many that prefer to hold a copy themselves--right there in their hot little hands.

  • Not to overload you, but to expand your view of what is out there and awaiting you, I add these links, also. I am not suggesting plagiarism, but you never know where the next great idea is going to come from. It may come from your boredom and surfing the sites of others. These came from entering the phrase "Freelance Writing" into my search engine (I use searchbigdaddy because it pays me points I can use to purchase advertising when I choose to do so. Check it out for yourself.)
