Why Copyrights Are Important

Filed under: Money Making — admin at 10:54 pm on Friday, May 23, 2008

I learned a hard learned lesson by not copywriting an e-book I wrote a few years ago. I can’t say that I did not make a little bit of money before somebody stole my work, because I made around six thousand dollars off of one months work. But I wonder how much I could have made if I would have spoted the $35 for a United States Copyright.

I was selling my e-book on Ebay, selling around 50 copies a day at $4.99 each for the electronic version of my e-book. I was selling for a few months without any problems. Then one day I noticed somebody was trying to sell my e-book for $3.99, thus undercutting my own set price.

I emailed the individual and threatened them and told them it was wrong to resell my work. The person agreed and quit selling it. However, it wasn’t long before another person tried selling my work. This time when I contacted the person, the person emailed me back and said “tough luck, you don’t have a copyright.”

This person explained that they searched the U.S. copyright website and my book wasn’t in the database. She was right, it wasn’t. Pretty soon the book sold for as little as ninety nine cents and it was no longer worth my time to sell it.

Since then I have had a paperback book published and I can say it is copywritten. By the way, it hasn’t made near as much as my e-book did. Just another hard learned lesson in life!

Health and Fitness: A Huge Industry in Need of Writers

Filed under: Money Making — admin at 9:52 am on Thursday, March 20, 2008

Think about how much you read about and spend on health and fitness.

Do you ever exercise? Take supplements? Go on a diet? Visit the doctor sometimes? Most of us do all four. And how many books, magazines, tapes of videos related to health and fitness do you have in your home?

This is a colossal industry, and seems to be growing bigger all the time. This is particularly true right now, as the baby boomers grow older and are looking for ways to maintain and improve their health.

Whether the subject is exercise, weight loss, prescription drugs or alternative remedies, there is a massive demand not only for products and services - but also for articles and promotional copy to promote those services.

Just do a few searches on Google.

A search for the word “health” yields 615,000,000 results.

“Fitness” yields 90,400,000 results

That’s over 700 million web pages that have been written about health and fitness. It’s a phenomenal figure.

And each and every one of those pages had to be written by someone.

Now think of all the magazines that focus on health and fitness. The books. The videos. And all that advertising and direct mail.

Do you get the idea? Here is an industry that is constantly in need of writers.

Whether your interest is in writing articles or in writing direct marketing copy, you can be sure of finding work.

Your next step is to find the right niche. Which area in health and fitness best suits your interests and experience? What would you like to write about?

And do you want to write articles, or are you more of a sales person…and better suited to direct marketing copywriting?

If you want to go where the money is, I always recommend the latter. Why? Because a good direct marketing copywriter will always be paid more.

Whatever kind of writing you want to do, take a look at this market. It is truly colossal, and provides freelancers with wonderful opportunities to find good work and make a decent income.
