And you’ll learn why right here in this valuable interview with a pro copywriter. A lot of the guys selling get-rich-quick copywriting ebooks don’t make a living as a freelance copywriter, just like a lot of the guys selling information about real estate investing don’t make a living as a real estate investor.

Written by Taylor - 39 Comments This discussion we’ve been having about whether bloggers should get paid for their work is fascinating, and I think it’s pretty great that the whole MwP community here has been so level-headed and thoughtful about it. To hear them tell it, bloggers who don’t give it away have turned positively abusive.

You can’t wait for inspiration to strike, and you don’t get that instant gratification when you finish, hit ‘publish’, and see your first positive comment within the hour. Seasoned bloggers can often whip out a post in an hour if they’re having a good day. Long-form writing is a whole different game. But it can be done.

Most bloggers start because they’re looking for a get rich quick scheme, some illusory easy path to fame and fortune. Maybe they learn about copywriting or buy a custom design template, but it doesn’t help. It’s easy to spot a newbie blogger. Good luck bloggers, I’ll catch you in the comments! Be yourself.

That’s probably as far removed from the subjects of entrepreneurship, copywriting, or freelancing as I could get. I’m not trying to downplay the word, but I do feel like there’s a reason people are more apt to label someone as an “expert” when they’ve published a book or two. How to get a publishing deal. Not necessarily.

The underrated solution: publish your own digital flipbook. Readers have shown that they enjoy the medium, but thus far digital flipbooks haven’t yet reached their full potential as a means for bloggers to interest their audiences. That’s still true today – but not where ebooks are concerned. Digital flipbooks are interactive ebooks.

If you’ve been writing within the same area for a while (copywriting, or blogging, or fiction, maybe) try comparing an older piece you wrote with something new written recently. This is where bloggers get a head start: if you have a blog, you have a good reason to put fingers to keyboard on a regular basis. Spot the differences?

Days elapse, but there’s no sign of your published piece. Bloggers and site editors, especially at top-tier outlets, are generally busy people. Firmly yet respectfully give the site editor an ultimatum — publish the piece by this date or you rescind the right to publication. No emails from the site editor. Why Does This Happen?

The people whose fans would knife you if you said an ill word against their favorite blogger. But those bloggers aren’t realistic, and they aren’t of any use to you unless you feel like sitting around and watching someone else talk about how great they are. Look at the people who have almost obsessive cult-followings.

If folks want to be published and paid, you have to keep climbing the mountain even if you get rejected. It’s as true for novelists as it is for article writers, copywriters, or any other kind of writer. GET IT PUBLISHED!!

It’s great that blogs let people voice opinions and share them with others, but I think bloggers could use a good dose come-back-down-to-earth with a dash of humble tossed in. I’m a firm believer that even with more and more bloggers cropping up, only the best will rise to the top. Not thought leaders. I hope not.
