If you are just starting out then you probably do not have a great amount of income coming in. Well there is a way of producing small amounts of cash.
Do you read magazines?
Ever read the letters page?
Now look again, most publications pay for contributions and many reward the star letter with a higher cash payment.
If you study the weekly magazines and in most libraries you can read them for free, try to pick up on the style, general content and angle that they look for. You can often write a letter suitable for that publication and possibly after a few tries find yours has been chosen.
I could not even guess how many publications there are out there, but if you study them and write whatever they are looking for, you should be able to make a small but regular amount of money.
It certainly is a good way to begin to understand what editors are searching for, at a later stage we will look at submitting feature articles to magazines.
I often say, you don’t know what you can do until you try.
Good luck and please let us know how you get on...
Until next time
Lucy.
