• Flow to Done: Tap Into Your Creative Source

  Mary Jaksch

  19 Nov 2009 | 1:55 am

  A guest by Everett Bogue of Far Beyond The Stars There are millions of distractions that the modern day writer has to put up with in order to get their ideas out there. Twitter, Facebook, your feed reader, they’re all conspiring to distract you from getting your writing down on the page. Did you know, when you’re multitasking between writing and doing something else, it can take up to thirty minutes to get your mind back on track? Flip-flopping between activities is not an option for a writer who’s trying to get some writing done. This is why I subscribe to a method of pure…

• Why Writing Rubbish is Productive

  Mary Jaksch

  14 Nov 2009 | 4:35 pm

  By Glen Allsopp of ViperChill Since the majority of my working day is now consumed with the task of writing, I’m constantly looking for ways to streamline the process. If I can get quality results in a shorter amount of time, I can spend the rest of each day doing other things that I love. Unfortunately, my creative mind doesn’t always want me to have spare time to read, chill with friends, or go and watch a movie. It makes me rely on idea files I keep tucked away whenever something pops into my head or if I have abused that resource already, I can spend over an hour mind-mapping…

  A guest post by Jules Clancy from stonesoup This writing business can be a lonely endeavour. We’ve all been there. Self imprisoned in our lonely garrets – or more likely behind our laptops. Reaching out to the world with our writing but feeling helpless and alone. Fear not fellow writers. There is hope. I’ve recently discovered a wonderful way to overcome the fear and feel connected with the rest of the world. Let me introduce you to the benefits of finding yourself a writing mentor.

• How to Revise Your Titles for Maximum Results

  Mary Jaksch

  2 Nov 2009 | 6:32 pm

  By Sean Platt of Ghostwriter Dad No one has championed the use of killer headlines more than Brian Clark. His advice on what makes for a compelling headline is gospel to many in this latest wave to crash across the copywriting shore. It’s impossible to argue – magnetic headlines invariably lead to more clicks, more conversions, and more clients clamoring for your content. But what about when your words have turned to whisper, and your old posts have been left to whither upon the WordPress vine? When you first craft a piece of killer content, you want as many eyes on it as possible.

  We are nearing the end of our colorful inspirational inquisitions here on FYC and as the series draws to a close we end with two unique takes on the series beginning with this week’s installment. All along we have been attempting to test the waters to determine if the source that feeds our inspiration, if it tends towards a singular color, can tend to aim our creative output in the same direction as elements associated with that color. Last week we rolled out Inspiration in Purple: The FYC Edition, and so the color wheel keeps turning as the series’ curtains begin to close.

  Everyday in this field, we see so many creative minds finding new ways to express themselves inside the design arena.

Often times there are those designers whose work we may have missed had not it been for the watchful eyes of our loyal readers.

• 7 Tips For Good Record Keeping

  For many freelancers, records are the last things we think about. There’s a design to finish for a client or an accounting department to call about an invoice — there’s always something more important than handling records. But the fact remains that those records are important at some point. Whether you need to go back to an old version of a project for your client or you need to pull your copy of an invoice, having an organized system is crucial. The biggest problem we face in getting our records into order (and keeping them that way) is that most of us work on our own.

  In an effort to curtail my disastrous gadget spending habits, I’ve decided to take a look at devices I’ve purchased with the stated intent of increasing my productivity, to see if intentions and reality reflect each other at all. Today, I’m turning my critical gaze on my netbook, which I picked up just over half a year ago. My particular netbook is the Asus Eee PC 1000HE, but the model doesn’t really matter.

  For someone who likes writing, being a freelancer is a dream job. On paper. You have a flexible schedule. You get to pick and choose the jobs you do. You act as your own boss. Insert any number of the other advantages here. But I think that often, we all get too caught up in the advantages that we never really take our current happiness into account. Let me explain what I mean. When someone asks me what I do, I usually spend more than a few minutes explaining my job. I noticed recently that I always end the explanation by saying how much I love my job. I think, though, that when I explain my…

  Allison Boyer

  One of the best parts about my job is that I have a flexible schedule. It doesn’t mean that I work less – for every hour I take off, I have to work an hour when I’d normally be enjoying some free time. I had to actually explain that to my boyfriend, who didn’t really see that misplacing hours of work means that they just move, not completely disappear. But I digress. The point is, flexibility as a freelancer is definitely a bonus. Could some people take flexibility too far, though? If you have a family (especially one with children), chances are that you stick to a…

I’d like to tackle why. First, let’s get all the bad mojo out there on the table by saying something completely untrue. “Oh, that evil publisher doesn’t like gamers…” Several well-known authors I’ve met are either gamers themselves or their kids are. And by gamers, I mean everything from tabletop to video and card games.

Do You Know How to Sell Your Sword? offers you my perspective from working in online and offline retail, by providing you with a metaphor about a blacksmith who is trying to sell a magic sword. The online sales cycle is a very passive one for retailers, because no matter how much any store owner may try — the seller is not in control. The buyer is. At a convention, for example, organizers will help facilitate traffic and flow based on the physical layout of the hall. For any…

• Are You Afraid of Success? We Bet Yes.

  Taylor

  17 Nov 2009 | 10:00 pm

  I have discovered something about myself. I’m terrified of success. Not just terrified. I’m willing to put my health at risk, my reputation, and my financial security. I’m willing to do just about anything, if I can avoid being successful. You probably are too. Some of you are thinking that I am nuttier than a Planter’s convention, but I assure you that this blog post was not made on machinery containing nuts. My parents assure me that neither was my brain, so we are living in a nut-free zone, here. This is a harsh truth, and the sooner we all own up to it, the better. We’re…

• How You Might Be Losing Clients Without Even Knowing It

  James

  15 Nov 2009 | 10:00 pm

  Most customer experiences you’ll have are fairly average. Not great, not horrible, just somewhere in the middle. Very often, that average experience occurs because the grand majority of people in customer service positions don’t have the training they need to give you exemplary service every time. Excellent customer service isn’t something we’re all born with. It’s learned. Yes, you’ll meet people who really stand out and make you feel great for having done business with them, but you’ll meet a lot more that just do their job and get by. You’ll also meet people that suck.

• How to Keep Your Blog From Losing Weight During the Holidays

  Taylor

  12 Nov 2009 | 10:00 pm

  When the holidays roll around, we people worry about packing on the pounds. But your blog has a tendency to lose the ability to throw its weight around. More distractions, parties, and yeah, good food means we’re more prone to neglect our blog writing during the holidays – and that means your blog looks mighty lean come the new year. So how do you avoid slimming your blog down during the holidays when you have other stuff to do? Here are three ways to keep your blog nice and solid. (As for managing your own weight, you’ll have to find a different blog. I, for one, intend to eat so much…

• Three Ways Writers Can Use Their Friday

  12 Nov 2009 | 2:19 pm

  Part of the draw in freelancing is setting your own schedule. I try to use Fridays for something a little out of the ordinary. Now, I work maybe about 60% time- 6ish hours per day, so I really can't tank Fridays entirely. However, I do try these shake ups: Go to the bookstore in order to feel and smell the final print that you're aiming for. If you are a writer, you know what I'm talking about-- that contact high you get when you walk into a stack of books or a nice, new, clean, inky rack of magazines? Come on...don't leave me hangin' here! I love bookstores. I love to touch magazines and…

  Have you ever been so busy, so overloaded with things that have to get done right now you didn’t know where to start? I’ve been feeling like that as I wrap up some assignments I’ve had on the books for a while, take on a gigantic new one, and at the same time, juggle a stream of requests to do presentations, take part in panel discussions or give interviews. It would be easy to turn down the latter because it’s not all paid work. But I’ve spent a lot of time in the last year immersing myself in all things social media and talking about the future of journalism,…

  Newspapers like the Oregonian may never reach the same level of readers or advertising they once had. But that doesn’t mean the news is going away. Around Portland and the state, hyperlocal news sites, blogs, and other fledgling news efforts are popping up to take over where traditional media outlets have left off. That’s the message that came through from journalists – including me – who discussed about the local media scene on this morning’s installment, Rebirth of Local Journalism, on Think Outloud, Oregon Public Broadcasting’s morning public affairs…

  Before you can capture readers with your words and voice, you must write an effective title! Whether you’re writing magazine articles, blog posts, school essays, or a book – your best title makes readers drool with anticipation. “Fewer than 10 little words, but so many headaches,” says freelance writer Sara Bimmel. “Why is writing a title so difficult? It could be the pressure to hook your reader before the article has even begun; or it could be the fact that condensing an article with hundreds of words into just one snappy phrase is impossible!” In this guest post, Sara…

  Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen

  18 Nov 2009 | 8:44 am

  To be successful, writers need to step away from their career goals (whether that’s getting a book published, maintaining a personal blog, or freelancing for national magazines) regularly. We need to jump off the merry-go-round of pitching ideas, researching books or articles, and blogging our hearts out to figure out where our career is going! A quip about goals: “It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching your goal,” said Benjamin E.

First, one of my favorite writing quotations: “Writing a novel is like driving a car at night,” said E.L.

  A friend and colleague recently asked me if I had a contract template that I used for clients. I said that I didn't because my contracts are generally heavily tailored to the specifics of an engagement. However, I was able to point to seven different clauses that I like to include to protect myself. Here they are, plus an eight that my publication and IP lawyer, Anthony Elia, had suggested for future use as I was suing an ex-client:Whether a work-made-for-hire contract or not, no rights should transfer until you get the final payment for the job.

(Thanks to Randy Hecht for pointing this out to me yesterday.) As I write this, there seem to be just under 90 titles available, including many that you've heard of. The number of issues varies. For example, in one case I noticed that the most recent issue was a year old, whereas for Popular Science, up to March 2009 was scanned in, going back to only 2000. Various issues of Mother Jones from the 1970s up through 2000 appeared, though not the whole run…

It's rarely needed, however there can be times in reporting when you could use more background. Only, it turns out that Intelius has a bad habit of deceptive marketing, as TechCrunch notes:They are still selling people information that you can find on other sites like WhitePages.com for free. And during and immediately after the transaction, users are asked if they want $10…

To build your personal brand, you need to get your name out there; commenting on other blogs can help. Engaging the blogging community is how you get your name out in the open. The more people know about you, the more will want to know you. When you comment on other blogs, you get your name and a link back to your site. Don’t just write a “me too” comment; write something meaningful that will get you on the radar of the blog owner and their readers. There…

• Flexible working increases productivity

  Steve

  19 Nov 2009 | 3:14 am

  Flexible working increases workers’ productivity, according to Rob Lovell, chief executive of ThinkGrid – a cloud IT services provider. UK workers spend 21.8 million hours travelling to and from work each day. This costs the UK £266 million worth of working time each day, according to TUC calculations. But Lovell believes that technological developments in computing mean that people should be able to work from the place that suits them best – in the process removing hours of travel every day. “With the ability to securely access documents and remotely collaborate on them in…

• 6 Work Life Balance Tips for Chronically Overwhelmed Parents

  Steve

  19 Nov 2009 | 2:34 am

  If you’re working from home, you’re probably accustomed to the steady stream of interruptions and emergencies from your family. Here are 6 work life balance tips for chronically overwhelmed parents. 1. Schedule Uninterrupted Work Time Set aside hours when the kids know that you’re working, and they can only interrupt if it’s a real emergency. You may have to explain to them exactly what constitutes a “real” emergency. If the house is on fire: emergency. If Timmy won’t share his toys: not an emergency. 2. Explain the Importance of the Family Business…

• Are You Thinking Too Small and Dooming Your Small Business To Failure?

  Steve

  16 Nov 2009 | 7:19 am

  One problem that many small business owners run into is simply thinking too small. I often have readers writing to me asking for helping getting their business ideas off the ground. I also often hear from folks who have run their small businesses into the ground. There are five key areas where you can think too small — and doom your business to failure. Niche Too Small Is your niche too small? Finding a small market to target with your business is key to success, but sometimes people narrow their niche too much. While doggy dental products could be a wonderful niche (as almost any dog…

Data from the official Labour Force Survey revealed that men working full-time spend 7.6 minutes longer commuting than women who work…

  You’ve heard so many people saying that an Internet Business is a waste of time, you’ll not make any money, there is no real money to be made online and so many other negative sentiments coming from people who don’t really understand this Internet Business industry. The thing is, it does work. Why do some people make a fortune and some don’t make money at all? Simply put, because the people who make thousands or millions in cash knew all the lies in this business. So what are the big internet lies?

• 7 Things Every Freelance Writer Should Do Before The End of the Year

  thursday

  12 Nov 2009 | 8:08 am

  We’re getting pretty close to the end of the year, but there are still a few things that may make the difference in how your business does in 2010. Talk to your accountant. I handle most of the bookkeeping for my business myself, but I pay my CPA to handle my income tax return as well as advise me on what I can be doing for myself and my business from a financial point of view. Suggestions like when to open a retirement account and how to use it to minimize the taxes I pay have more than covered the amount that I pay my CPA — and those payments are tax deductible as well. As the year…

• Ask Me Anything: Finding Contact Information

  thursday

  Sara asks, I have a question about finding contact information for websites. I suppose I never really gave much thought to who contributes the content to websites, but now I realize that writing for sites can be some nice extra income. The problem I’m running into is finding contact information for submissions. I’ve tried using the generic “Info” button or “info@…” email address, but I haven’t had much luck. How do I track down this hard-to-find info? I might be missing out on some additional opportunities–help! It’s been my experience that a lot of websites already…

• The Real Value of NaNoWriMo

  thursday

  5 Nov 2009 | 6:30 am

  Are you participating in National Novel Writing Month right now? Are you keeping up with writing 1,000 words a day? I hope so. I’m a big believer that NaNoWriMo can be an incredibly useful exercise for a writer, whether or not you’re currently freelancing. Even if you haven’t started yet, the exercise of writing 1,000 words a day can be worth trying. I’m not about to suggest that writing a novel will necessarily make any a better writer — heck, even assuming a writer gets a complete novel out of NaNoWriMo, there’s no guarantee that it will be worth publishing.

• The House That Freelancing Bought

  thursday

  3 Nov 2009 | 7:05 am

  The past couple of weeks have been pretty hectic for me: my husband and I bought a house and moved into it. I’m still a little surprised that we managed it. After all, I’m a freelancer — a situation that causes many mortgage lenders to break out into hives. Just because my income can vary, the rules seem to change entirely. However, we did get our mortgage and our house — and I came out of the experience with a few pieces of advice for freelancers ready to buy a home. It’s All About Income Taxes If you’re looking for a traditional mortgage, you must have at least…

• Ask Me Anything: Finding Time, Following Up On Leads and Networking

  thursday

  24 Oct 2009 | 1:19 pm

  Kathryn Lang asks, I want to know how you end up with eight hours for writing. I have yet to be able to make that happen around my home. Maybe I should just run away. Some freelance writers struggle to schedule around day jobs. Some struggle to schedule around kids. There are plenty of other problems that can creep into a schedule — and sometimes they show up in combination. All of that means that setting a writing schedule can seem entirely impossible. Because I know what can happen if I’m not careful, I’m very protective of my time. No matter who asks me for a favor or who I…

• Looking for the Right Free Web Hosting?

  John Cottone

  20 Nov 2009 | 12:18 pm

  There are many free hosts on the web and the number increases almost on a daily basis. This is because, on the contrary to most people thought, setting up a new free web hosting company is really easy. Therefore, the chances of getting scammed are a bit high, not to mention, the other companies which aren’t reliable enough to support your website properly. Whether you are running a serious business or just a simple site to share your life with, I don’t think you would like to see your website down and offline for those who are trying to get access to it and try to visit. This is why…

  Guest blogger Jimi Olaghere is a young business owner who runs Broke Tycoon, a blog and forum with advice for business and marketing techniques. Seems like everyone is a blogger these days, publishing articles on personal or freelance business blogs, updating statuses on twitter – even commenting on previously written articles. Face it, we’re blogging. But how can we stand out in a sea of keyboard happy drones? Repent from these sins and maybe the blog Gods will forgive you. 1.

• Blogging for Cash

  A new trend in American employment now is blogging part-time or full-time to make money. Many people have taken up blogging only to find themselves not only having lots of fun, but making more money than they did on their nine to five job. So they quit and just blog full time. It’s a real phenomenon. There are a few ways that bloggers make money: (1). The most common way for bloggers to make money is through ads. When blogging first started, Adsense and Blogads were the way to create income. But since that time loads of other ways have emerged. Some of these are Chitika’s…
