UPDATE: You can no longer sign up just by leaving a comment. I had to change my newsletter service plan due to the number of people that signed up, and I can’t import names anymore. Sorry! Signing up is still really, really simple, though. Just follow THIS LINK, enter you email address, and confirm your subscription. Feel free to still leave a comment here to tell me that you signed up!
This has been in the making for quiet some time now, and I’m happy to announce a brand new newsletter for freelance writers, written by yours truly!
Called One Prompt, One Product, this newsletter is geared toward people who write online for a living. As the name implies, every email-newsletter will have one writing prompt and one product (or website or service) recommendation.
These aren’t your typical writing prompts, though. I think prompts like “write a paragraph about your most embarrassing moment” or “write a letter to your childhood imaginary friend” can be great for getting the juices flowing, but they aren’t a very practical use of you time in many cases. At least, that’s been my experience. The writing prompts I’ll include are all geared toward writing articles your can later sell, use for your portfolio, or post on your own blog/website.
Example prompt:
Earth day is quickly approaching, and going green is a subject that many clients are embracing. In whatever subject matter you’re a professional, research and write an article about ways to go green or a company that is going green. For example, here’s how someone who writes about golf tackled the topic, which is very different than this environmental-inspired article written by someone who covers video game news.
Products covered will include freelancing websites, books/ebooks, office supplies, electronics and gadgets, services for freelancers, and more! Sometimes, I’ll even be giving away the product, so you’ll have a change to randomly win cool stuff just by being signed up for the newsletter.
The newsletter will come to your inbox every Friday, so you can work on your “assignment” for the weekend or save it for sometime the following week. You’ll never get any other emails or spam by signing up for this newsletter, and you can unsubscribe at any time just by emailing me.
The first email goes out on MAY 1, 2009, so to ensure that you don’t miss a single issue, I’m opening up sign-ups now.
What are you waiting for – Sign up!
All you have to do to sign up is leave a comment below. Be sure to use a valid email address! Please read the update above!
Sign me up. Lord knows, I feel like I need more prompting than most.
I want to sign up but don’t know how.
Please sign me up.
Send me the newsletter, please!
This sounds like a lot of fun! I’d definitely like to sign up. Thanks!
Please sign me up. Thanks.
yes, please sign me up for your One Prompt, One Product and also your regular newsletter, if it isn’t already included.
This is being very brave of me because I’ve never done any online writing. It has just caught interest since I became unemployed at Christmas last year. Been doing research about freelance writing, but there is so much information, and so many guides/tutorials, that it has become mind boggling.
What finally lead me to choose your newsletter is the simplicity with which you present your material. Ok, and maybe the cute cat picture! At any rate, maybe the idea of having something to choose from and assigning myself a duty, I will really test myself and accomplish something.
Thanks for sharing your experiences and giving us ‘newbies’ encouragement.
Wish me luck.
