It's been eighteen years since I started learning how to sell articles, but I still get excited by every new one that gets accepted. I'm mostly asked to write articles in advance now, so I don't suggest too many ideas to magazines like I used to; I just stick to the ones I like (and the ones that seem to like me!) nowadays.

I'm mostly asked to write articles in advance now, so I don't suggest too many ideas to magazines like I used to; I just stick to the ones I like (and the ones that seem to like me!) nowadays. Writing is a fantastic part time occupation, and it's even better when you finally get to do it full time. I now take on ghostwriting work and copywriting work, and there is no shortage of it once you get yourself out there. This lens was created to share the story of how I first started to sell my articles. I'm hoping that by doing this I can help you get further along the road towards your own acceptances. The best advice at this stage? Read on, learn from what I did and persevere. I can't stress that enough.  I am now full time, purely because I have so many sources of online writing jobs and magazine work that I can't manage it all part time anymore - so believe me when I say it CAN be done. There are plenty of online writing gigs out there for everyone. Read this article on how to earn money with online writing, then check back here for some more of my experiences. Let's get going! By the way, if you click on the link to the left of this column (the one that says 'lenses by Allison Whitehead') you can also see some of my other writing related lenses.
