Another idea is to stop selling something that people don’t want (words on a page) and start marketing the real result that comes BECAUSE of the words on a page. If you make your business simply about stringing words together, the discussion will tend to focus on two things:

1. How cheaply will you write those words?
2. How fast will you write them?

When the focus goes there, you’re pretty much in a race for the bottom. Ouch.

The market for freelance writers isn’t drying up, because there is opportunity everywhere for those skills to be applied in an effort to create big results. It just takes some creativity to PACKAGE the art of writing in a way that your prospect GETS the value of what that can produce.

Am I missing something here? How does anyone survive writing articles at $3 per 450 words? Are you kidding me?

I was an editor in the motion picture industry for many years. I write fiction for a men’s magazine and get $900 per 1600-1800 word article. I guess I should consider myself very lucky.
