Want to do more than money from your writing? Make a plan, and follow it. You'll accomplish more than than you ever thought you could.

Here's a popular ailment I hear from commenters on my authorship blogs and read in my email: "People won't pay for good writing!"

If you hold with this myth, I'm sorry, but you're targeting the incorrect grouping of buyers. If you desire to be paid $2 per word rather than $2 per article, you have got to aim the purchasers who are looking for $2-per-word articles.

This is only common sense.

In general: $2 per word is paid by mass marketplace publications, offline and online, rather than bantam publications. (Copywriting is different. You can easily do anywhere from $2 to $5 and more than than per word for copywriting, no substance how bantam your client.)

So if you desire to do more money, program for it by targeting those who can afford to pay the rates you desire to be paid.

Very few independent authors PLAN. You can immediately set yourself into the top 1 per cent of authors when you plan.

Here's how to make a plan.

1. Set a Goal, With a Deadline

Goal scene is merriment when you look on every end you put as an experiment. If it's an experiment, you can putter with it until you acquire the consequences you want. Never look on goal-setting arsenic a win/ lose proposition. Look on goal-setting arsenic a manner to travel forward in your authorship calling by assemblage information on what works, and what doesn't.

Your end might be: "To do $2 per word from my authorship 12 calendar months from today."

2. Make a Measure by Measure Plan to Achieve Your Goal

Next, do a measure by measure procedure to accomplish your goal.

For example:

* Discovery 10 publications which pay $2 per word

* Read the publications and make short letters on what they've published in the past three months

* Read their writer's guidelines if available. If you can't ran into the guidelines (don't have got the clips), make a program to garner clips

And so on.

The stairway you take to accomplish your end will change as you take them. No measure is ever put in stone. You'll detect short cuts as you work. Here's what is  important: writing down the steps, fully realizing that they will change. So, delight compose down a probationary plan.

3. Make Tasks out of Your First Step, and Agenda Them

Next simply take the first step, and make some tasks. For "Find 10 publications which pay $2 per word" your undertakings may be:

* Go to the library and read mags you could submit to

* Research publications online

And so on.

Writing everything down, from your ends to the undertakings in your schedule, is the cardinal to authorship success.
