Glad to Be On Board

Post by nlovewitwriting »

Hello, I'm extremely excited to be here, joined with seemingly talented writers. I'm from Columbus, Ohio and have been freelance writing for about 5 months now and loving every minute of it. Hoping to become a full time freelance writer. I'm trusting to be led in the right direction to the right platforms. Nice to meet everyone!!

Hi there, welcome to the site. If you're looking to build sales, here are some tips:

- Write on a diverse range of topics.
- Use good keywords when you submit articles.
- Your articles will, almost certainly, sell eventually. It might take time, but they will sell.
- Double and triple check your articles before submission; the editors here are looking for consistently high quality and will bounce articles back if they aren't happy.
- Write for a variety of price-points and experiment with your cost per word. Typically, usage licenses tend to go for between 2.5 and 4 cents per word, full licenses go between 5.5 and 8 cents per word.
- It's worth understanding what sells - I have been mining data on the areas that are doing well and you can find the latest information here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=76743 and here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=76719 - I update this once a month.
- It's also helpful to understand the type of article titles that sell; I did some research on that here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=76724

I hope this is all useful to you.
