Sick of Writing - How to make $$$?

What about teaching others how you've been able to make $3,000/month as a content writer? You could create a course or coaching program and offer it here as a WSO and start building a list. You could also market this other ways as well outside of this forum.

For every successful content writer there are probably 50 people who tried it and failed.

Considering your wealth of writing experience have you considered turning your hand to product creation? You'll make a lot more money selling your own ebook, than you will writing it for someone else.

You could also consider writing PLR content and selling that. Depending on how well it goes you could set up your own PLR content membership site and make a comfortable living off the membership fees.

Good content and good PR backlinks = page 1 on google. Find a niche and nail it. You will be making 3k a week not a month

If you are that talented, expand your service by offering sales letter creation. There is a demand for that and you'll make more money per project.

Well, being a service provider is the quickest way to make money online since you get paid via Paypal. Since you're tired of that, however, you could create a niche blog or a PLR store as a means to generate residual income. You could also do what some other people have suggested and get into product creation. Each of these things take time to set up and start earning, but at least you won't have to work for every dollar that you earn.

Certainly a book of some kind would be best. Find your spark again, write about that - and sell it! Easier said than done of course - but you can't give up now.

I don't think there is a "best" or really "quick" way to shift gears so maybe you should resign yourself to continuing the ewhoring while you find something else to do. Here are some possibilities:

* Product creation
* Get hooked up with Web designers and be their "in house" writer. You're still writing for others but if you work it right you'll make a lot more than $3000/mo.
* Article syndication and affiliate promotion (See Alexa Smith's posts on this)
* Self publish fiction and non-fiction on Kindle

These are just a few ideas. I looked at Kindle a couple of years ago and foolishly rejected it because all the experts suggest selling your stuff for small money. But there's a gold mine there. Just as this forum has a robust marketplace (WSOs) for certain types of products with ready and willing buyers hanging around waiting for the next offer, Amazon has the same thing with Kindle. Only there, there are millions of hungry buyers.

People don't seem to realize (I sure didn't right away) how powerful that is. As a Kindle author you get to fish in a pool where people are already looking for what you have. That saves you massive amounts of time and marketing effort.

Of course, like any other "pool" or market you need to identify who your buyers are but that part is pretty easy because Amazon makes it easy to see what's popular and what's selling. And the good part is, Kindle is big and getting bigger all the time. More people buy Kindles every day and they want and need good content for them.

In the last month I've decided it's time to actually do what I want to do, which is write fiction. I've been making the transition and it feels really good. Maybe it's something you should check out.

Create your own ebook on the subject where your feel comfortable (writing) and sell that. You can also create WSO about that.

If you are a good writer then you have a really valuable advantage over many others - you won't have to outsource content creation in case you decide to develop your own websites. Then you can also learn slowly about seo and other ways of getting visitors to your site (or you can outsource it and use the money you have already earned to grow faster)

1. Find a unique, useful product or service and promote it.
2. If anything, you'll have to work harder.

I've decided to try my hand at PLR articles. I just put up a listing on Ebay (don't want to lay out $40 on a WSO until I know there's a strong market for this kind of stuff) for 157 top notch niche Appliance/audio related articles. Limited release (only 21 people can buy the package) for $20... That's a good price, right? This is my first time delving into PLR stuff.

Fiverr and the bargain basement section of Odesk have put the pressure on writers from "developed" countries. See what you can do to add value to your writing services and push that. Other than that, while you're doing work for clients, create a huge network of blogs and seed it with your content and continue to "water" your blog garden with backlinks and generate nice traffic as time progresses. Milk as much income from your blog network by building a list and filtering it with funnel lists within lists. To some writers this is too much work but faced with slow starvation, you'd be surprised how motivated people can get
