Freelance Writing and Regular Income

If you're like me and all the other freelance (ie, self employed) people I know, you may be a little concerned how you'll maintain a regular income from what is, when all is said and done, an irregular income source.

The best solution, and one which many writers in particular employ, is to create 'multiple income streams,' preferably as 'hands-free' as possible so you can concentrate on the job you enjoy doing, and the internet is one very good place to create and maintain those streams. For one thing, much of the income can be automated, and for another it's a global market, less subject to the waxing and waning of individual countries' economies.

With that in mind, I'd like to introduce you to a new, potentially massive and totally free system for creating at least one income stream that will require the minimum intervention from you once you've registered. Registration takes about thirty seconds, by the way. Furthermore, they even pay you for joining! Okay, so it's only ten dollars, but it's a start.

What it boils down to is advertisers paying you for receiving their ads. In practice, they pay the organisers for access to your mailbox and the organisers pay you for every ad you acknowledge receiving, on a points basis. It's small now, but growing rapidly, and the potential is simply enormous.

It's also a terrific way to build up a swipe file of effective (and ineffective) sales copy - probably the most valuable thing in a copywriter's armoury. Every successful copywriter I know has a swipe file, so thay can literally steal the best ideas and most effective copy to adapt for their own use. If you're serious about copywriting for a living, you should have one too. All you have to do is read the ads that get your attention and print the best of them off to 'swipe' later.

For the swipe file value alone, this is a terrific opportunity. That it can earn you money too makes it a fantastic deal.

And it's free - and they pay you!

It's one income stream, and you really should have as many as you can to counter the vagaries of a freelancer's income, but let this be the first. Here's the link again: http://www.taketheinternetback.com/index.php?refId=5083

I'll have more to say about swipe files soon.
