So I wrote a couple of Mothers Day pieces. One on Mothers Day dilemmas and how to solve them and one on Mothers Day traditions. They did pretty well the first year then I let them rot. I am not the most organized person in the world but I try. Life gets going and I forget to send my articles out and often wish I had an assistant who could get in my face and tell me to send articles annually when they are wanted.
***Hmmm, I finally sucked it up and got a smartphone ... Im thinking I could grab all my article titles (there are over 75 at this point) and figure out when best to send them. At least the holiday-specific and back-to-school ones. I could plug them in my calendar somehow to remind me to send them out.
Anyway ... this year I grabbed the Mothers Day articles from my hard drive and sent each one out separately to all my contacts that are in my book since I was updating the book anyway. That one little action made me at least $250.
For two pieces I wrote years ago.
All I did was mass submit them. Not one at a time emailing, friend. Like blind carbon copy.
Some publications wrote me back and let me know they wanted to use my piece and what they would pay. Some I found while checking my name on issuu.com or Googling the article name. Some emailed me after they used it and let me know they were sending a check.
Where do I write? You want proof? Okey dokey. Palm Beach Parenting, San Diego Family, Calgarys Child, Central Penn Parent, Valley Parent Georgia, Western New York Family. Thats just this month that I know about.
Yes, I am telling you to buy my book. I make money using it 6 years later. I could be making a lot more money using it if I didnt have so many other things going on in my life. And dont think for a second that I take up all the space in these magazines. They needs tons of pieces every month and are dying for good content. There is success for all of us. Money for all of us. A writing career for all of us, writer friend!
Heres the book! You gotta get it and tell your friends! I make the same royalty whether you get the print or ebook version and I recommend the print version so you can mark it up and make changes to it.
