[Stylist] [stylist] {Spam?} The business side of writing and creating

Mon Jun 17 21:52:35 UTC 2019

To be honest, copy writing is not all that difficult. If you know how to
write, you can write copy. I wouldn't recommend you spend a lot of money on
expensive tutorials when you can Google or check out a book for free on how
to write copy. I'm a freelancer who writes various types of copy and also
copy edits. Most businesses and firms want people with experience, but you
can build up this experience. And nowadays, there's lots of online forums
that hire freelance writers for a variety of things and experience isn't
always crucial, so, you can build up experience this way too. But to be
honest, unless pursuing a degree from an accredited school, I wouldn't spend
money, especially a lot, to learn how to write copy. Just my 2 cents as
someone who does this.

Bill, if you're still interested in knowing more about the business of
writing, I belong to the Barefoot Writers Club, and they have courses, kind
of on the pricey side, that teach you how to do copywriting--that is, web
content and other kinds of writing that people hire you to do.

While I've made some money on my novel, "Lucy", and on my novella, "A Very
Special House", which you can check out after my signature, the money I've
spent self-publishing and promoting my work will never be paid off by my
monthly disability income.
So, I joined the Barefoot Writers Club, and got introduced to AWAI, American
Writers and Artists.
As I said, their courses are pricey. I've just started to take their
Accelerated Copywriting course.
And I hope the heck it pays off.

Good afternoon.  

I am wondering about the business side of writing and creative ventures.
I'm not sure what questions to ask first, actually.  

I guess the first couple of things to ask is how to know when to set up some
sort of entity, and secondly what form it should take structurally.  Third
would be what sort of skills will I need to do this successfully and
sustainably.  

I want to know other basic pieces of planning and development information I
need that might not be immediately obvious to me, even if it should be.  

I may also need some other sort of venture to sustain myself alongside the
creative, advocacy and experimental things I desire to continue to do, both
at my current and possibly greater level.
