Diversify in Trying Economic Times

Posted by Mary Yerkes Dec 3, 2008

Linda Formichelli has a wonderful interview with Bob Bly on her popular blog, The Renegade Writer. With dwindling freelance budgets at consumer and trade magazines, savvy writers are diversifying and supplementing their income with corporate writing.

Here's what Linda has to say:

"When I started out in corporate writing in 1997, I relied heavily on Bob Bly’s book Secrets of a Freelance Writer Now that I’m getting back into the field, I’m reading his book again. It’s brimming with useful information.

You can sign up for Bly’s free monthly e-newsletter called The Direct Response Letter and get a free marketing library worth over $100 at www.bly.com/reports

With the economy as crazy as it is, many writers are considering diversifying into corporate writing to boost their income. Here, Bly talks about the benefits of corporate writing and how magazine writers can break in."
