		<description><![CDATA[Hey Gary &amp; John,

Thanks for a great blog post.. I was never a great fan of writing, particularly in school, and I find it hard to focus and concentrate. My mind tends to wander, and I often end up putting on the television or listening to music.

For some reason, in every other aspect of my work, I can concentrate without any problems, but when it comes to writing, I just get bored pretty quickly.

Do you have any tips to help someone like me to overcome this? It would really help me when it comes to writing my own products.

Many thanks and keep up the great work!
Tom :)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The trick is to write about subjects that you are familiar with, at least when you starting your writing business.

You then just write each article witout editing, when you have finished your work, go back and check them for spellings etc. Working in this way you can easily write 10 articles in 4 to 5 hours. If you start early enough you will have made $100 plus by lunch time. 

Then consider what your earnings would be if you were getting $15 per article and if you also wrote 15 instead of 10.

This $10 or less per article is only an internet marketing thing, if you look eleswhere you will find that clients are prepared to pay far more than that without even batting an eye lid.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think charging less than $10 for an article is very low, specially if you are a professional writer and can write creative and informative articles.  How long would it take to write and article is what I would like to know.  If one can write an article in less thank 30 minutes then I think charging $10 might be ok as long as you get several orders a day.  Thanks]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Ken

You would be surprised by the amount of clients who are prepared to pay $10 plus for basic articles. Many of my clients started out by going with the cheaper writers and their experiences were not brilliant.

Just today I received an order of 100 x 700 word articles on the subject of internet marketing. Really basic stuff but $20 per article.

There are many people willing to pay that kind of money for basic subjects and one thing that I have found recently is that since the latest Google Panda update, many of my clients now require articles of between 700 and 1200 words as opposed to 500 words which used to be the norm.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Nikki

So many people think that their writing is not good enough to sell but in your case and judging by the writing standard of your comment above, you would have no problems at all.

As long as the writing &#039;flows&#039; and is spelt correctly you will be ok. To start off with, try and go for writing jobs that you have an interest in. You will be surprised by how easy it all is.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi - I can confirm this is a way to earn money.  I&#039;ve done it myself as a sideline to fund things like paying for my Internet connection, domains and hosting - and in particular, opportunities offered through this blog.

It&#039;s easy to find jobs and as I like writing, can write about any topic (with research of course) and most of all, it&#039;s FUN!

Best wihes
