Diversifying your talent

Apart from write, what else could you do to rake in the cash and build yourself a good business? Writing alone can sometimes be hit and miss - and every writer goes through the feast and famine cycle. How about looking at additional ways to boost your income:

• writing and selling an information product using Clickbank to manage sales
• start your own CV writing service
• launch yourself as a professional copywriter - do a professional course such as AWAI's program or indeed any of the other programs on offer from famous copywriters
• have you considered offering workshops and training for business writing skills?
• what about freelance marketing consultancy? For those commercial freelancers and copywriters out there, this would be a natural progression for you
• specialize in one area - say brochures and team up with a graphic designer and then market yourself as selling a complete solution

There are literally dozens of ways connected to writing that you could diversify. All it takes is the courage to step out of your comfort zone and push yourself that bit harder.
