Writing Help

A freelance writer can be defined as anyone who sells their work to others, even if it is on an ad hoc basis. But making enough money to sustain yourself in the world of freelance writing is hard and can even be a little soul destroying. However, you can make money as a freelance writer so long as you are dedicated and committed to making it a success.
With the arrival of the internet, there is now more work than ever for aspiring freelance writers. Every web site needs content, and finding good content that is ripe for search engine optimisation (SEO) is a hard thing to come across. So if you have a talent for this type of work, then you can make a feasible income from freelance writing. And even though the magazine market may be shrinking, there is still some freelance work to be had, so long as you are in it for the long haul.

One particular school of thought speaks to making your website one large online sales letter. Continuing in this train of thought, this could present a great opportunity for you. You could write for both off-line businesses as well as for online business using the format of a sales letter.

Remember though: Interest - like beauty - is in the eye of the beholder. If you were sending a sales letter to monks and nuns, an appeal to their greed probably would not get attention. That's why it's so important to know your prospect. One way to do that is to research your product. Often asking what the purpose of the product is will give you insight into the prospect's thinking. That's because the product's designers were trying to solve a problem or meet a need.
Golf clubs designed with gigantic titanium heads appeal to golfers who want a tool to help them hit the ball farther. They could probably do better by spending the money on lessons but they want what they want the easy way.

How to Get the Prospect's Attention
If you're out in the street and you want to get someone's attention, it's easy enough. Just yell at them, "Hey, YOU!" They'll turn and look at you to see what you want.
A lot of headline writers think they can do the same thing in print. The sprinkle "you" and "your" and "you'll" around and figure that's all it takes. It's not that easy.
What gets attention is something that truly interests the prospect - it solves a problem for them or meets a compelling need.

The headline to a sales letter is like the doorway to a store. The purpose of both is to draw people in. To get people in the store, a doorway has to be both attractive and inviting. To get people to read the letter, the headline has to both make the prospect take notice and make them want to know more.
When you write a headline to sell something, make sure it does these two things:
1. Gets attention
2. Arouses curiosity

The beauty of the Sun of the Morning, forced to crawl upon his belly
With a strength, and a bite and an ability to defecate forged in the depths of the Earth
And a dark purpose forged in the hearts of man.
I dive for his tail end, knowing that his head has 14 feet to cover to reach me
I grab it, feel the cool, pebbly skin underneath my fingertips,
and the muscles rippling, signifying!

I have read literally hundreds of theses during my career; and I know what it takes to get a thesis accepted, what a professor looks for in a thesis and how he ensures that the thesis isn’t plagiarized.

Let me also put an end to a long-standing myth... there's no such thing as "one-size-fits-all" thesis writing. Each individual thesis must be carefully researched and then written, an argument has to be developed that reaches a successful conclusion, all of which I ensure in the theses I write.

Writing and exercise are two things I have let slide since getting married. My images are like my waistline, pudgy and unattractive. They rarely get up off the couch, unless it is to go dig a large bowl of chocolate trinity ice cream out of the freezer.
