For years, I’ve been telling freelance writers and aspiring writers the simple secret I’ve used to make millions of dollars as a freelance writer.
It’s that the quickest way to create greater demand -- command higher fees -- and make more money … is to become a “writing specialist.”
Specialists get more respect, charge more money, are much more sought after, and don’t have to beg for work or haggle over fees.
Generalists live off the crumbs the specialists leave behind.
It’s that way in every field: specialists are more in demand – and earn more money – than generalists.
In medicine, oncologists and cardiac surgeons earn more than general practitioners.
In the auto industry, service technicians who specialize in fixing Jaguars and Porsches charge higher rates than general auto mechanics.
In corporate training, the consultant who teaches how to attain ISO 9002 accreditation or comply with EPA regulations commands daily fees two to five times higher than trainers who teach general subjects like stress management or leadership.
And in any type of writing – copywriting, magazine writing, book writing – writers that focus on niche markets are better paid than general assignment writers.
Become a highly paid “writing specialist”
In the Internet age, we’re flooded with information, as the store of human knowledge grows at an exponential rate.
Therefore, no single person can even begin to keep up – making it extremely difficult to be a generalist in writing or any other field.
By specializing in one or two writing niches, you carve out a manageable segment of human knowledge, and at least have a fighting chance of staying current without spending every waking minute reading magazines, books, and Web sites in your field.
As for clients, there are 3 reasons why marketers, editors, and publishers would rather hire a specialist than a generalist:
FIRST, the learning curve is greatly reduced, saving the client time in briefing the writer, and increasing the client’s confidence that you, the writer, understand the material.
SECOND, specialists have a greater awareness of current activity in their field. Your extensive experience can help your clients avoid mistakes and steer them away from marketing ideas that you’ve seen do not work.
THIRD, by constantly reading and writing in a narrow field, the specialist is more in tune with the market than most writers – and often, even than the client. Niche writers have their finger on the pulse of their specialty markets, which helps them write copy that reaches readers on a deeper level – making their writing more compelling and effective.
Now, in our e-book,Writing for Niche Markets, my coauthor Kim Stacey and I show you step-by-step how to position yourself as an expert in -- and write for -- today’s most in-demand and lucrative niche marketers for freelance writers.
