The Writing Plan that Works
by Bea Sheftel

This is a preview of the special paid report or ebook I'll be
creating in PDF format. The writing plan includes follow up through
my free subscriber list at
http://www.memoirwritersonline.com.
I also am teaching a 4 week free course for those who need more help
implementing the plan.

Here is how the plan got started. A friend emailed me and said, if we
sold a short article for only $30 a day we could earn $900 in a
month.I took that idea and created the plan which is much more
flexible.

Earning $30 a day for short writing is relatively easy. There are web
magazines that pay $5 for reprints up to $50 for fresh articles of
only 500 to 750 words. Not everyone can write 30 days of the month
though.

Some of my personal essays have earned $50 to $300 and fallen within
those word limits. So I thought the $30 a day is a start. If you
can't write on Sunday, you double up the writing on Monday. I broke
the writing down to small elements of a 500 word draft a day, or
1,000 words if you skip a day,etc. I used a multi approach to include
a dollar goal of $1000 a month. I included ideas drawn from the
common personal experience of writers. And added a few markets as an
example.

This is NOT a get rich scheme. It is a plan for serious writers who
want to earn $900 to $1000 a month from their writing. You won't
achieve this goal over night. It will take work, but I've broken down
the plan into simple elements that make it easy to understand, and
easy to do.

The plan includes more than daily writing, and regular queries. It
involves a great deal of marketing also. I am rather good at
marketing and have a high rate of acceptance compared to queries.
I'll be sharing this information with writers. The point is, if we
want to make money from our writing, we have to combine writing with
marketing. There isn't some glorious agent in the sky waiting to sell
our work. We have to do it ourselves.

The problem with too many writers is that writing is more a dream
than a reality. There are always excuses why there isn't time to sit
down and write.The plan takes you day by day through your writing.
You start with only 500 words a day. That is two typed double-spaced
pages. Certainly almost anyone who can write can accomplish that? And
it doesn't take a lot of time either.

At first I offered my plan in snail mail. Now I have it translated
into a pdf file. The 18 pages of the plan are available for purchase
at my memoir site,as well as other places on the web. To learn more
about the free class and the subscription follow up check out my
webseed page, or go directly to my
report page.
