The secrets to writing for profit and building your portfolio without accepting low-paying gigs will be revealed in eight simple freelance writing courses and delivered to your e-mail, so you can start cashing BIGGER paychecks and enjoying some of the luxuries that many veteran freelance writers rave about!
Dear Aspiring Writer,
My name is Misti Sandefur, I am editor of Coffee Break for Writers and was once where you are today.
Over 10 years ago, I sat at the kitchen table and read rejection letter after rejection letter. I can still remember how I felt. I wanted to turn my passion for writing into cash, and I wanted to inspire and help thousands through my words. However, the editors didn't seem to be interested in giving me a chance to prove myself.
"How can I prove myself if no one will give me the chance? Is there even one editor out there who is willing to take a chance on me and offer me a fair rate for my time and hard work. Do I really have to resort to writing for pennies just to prove myself? What am I doing wrong?"
I asked myself those questions and many more, and each time another rejection letter made its way from my mailbox to my hands, I felt like giving up. I envied the freelance writers I read about in magazines and books who appeared to be doing well.
Finally, I told myself if others could do it, so could I. So, in order to succeed, I picked my lip up off the floor and keep trying. I wanted to be able to pay the bills and still enjoy some of the finer things in life.
Although I wasn't sure how to gain clips and sell my stories and articles to editors, I was determined to learn the secrets. Therefore, I continued to write and try to sell my stories and articles. During the tough times, I held on to my faith and kept the dream alive.
After reading several writing-related books and magazines, talking with experienced writers and applying everything I had learned to my articles, stories and query letters, the acceptance letters began to overtake the rejection letters.
I Finally Did It!
My bank account grew and editors invested in my words. It was a wonderful feeling! All my hard work and the time I spent studying paid off. I breathed a sigh of relief, my confidence increased and I had so much inspiration that ideas kept popping into my head like popcorn.
I continued to write and sell my words to print and electronic publications. Sure, I made mistakes at times, but I learned from those mistakes. In fact, a large percentage of the mistakes were quite embarrassing, but if I had not made them, I wouldn't know what I do today, and I wouldn't be able to share the secrets with you -- to keep you from making the same mistakes. What I look forward to the most, though, is helping you so you don't have to wait as long as I did for your first paycheck. Moreover, I can't wait to give you my personal feedback, which will help you catch your mistakes before they make their way to an editor's desk.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't you rather learn the secrets to writing for profit and building your writing portfolio now rather than years down the road? Or better yet, wouldn't you like to send editors a professional-looking query letter?
I thought you would agree, and that is why I have decided to show you how I sold over 150 articles through my freelance writing course: "Freelance Writing for Beginners."
