Web Writing: Print Writers Are Making a Profitable Transition to the Web

May 4, 2011 - PRLog -- When copywriter Angela Booth created her popular online writing course Sell Your Writing Online NOW (SYWON) at http://sellwritingnow.com/Home/training.html a couple of years ago she had no idea how popular the course would become.

She believes the course's popularity is due not only to the many print freelance writers making the transition to the Web, but also to the many new writers who are starting out as Web writers. These new writers have no background in print at all.

The Web can be confusing for writers without a guide. One SYWON member said of the course: "My year as a SYWON student opened my eyes to writing venues I hadn't considered -- and some I didn't even know existed."

There are many more opportunities for writers online than offline, and they're easier to access. Many outsourcing sites have sprung up. Buyers on these outsourcing sites may be new Web businesses, others are long established, multinational companies. All are looking for skilled and competent writers who understand the Web.

Angela said: "For print writers, the Web requires a different mind set to writing for print. Articles for example, are shorter, and Web content is meant to be skimmed, rather than read with close attention."

The SYWON online writing course members are not only writing for businesses and publications online, they're creating their own ebooks and blogs too. In many cases they've stopped trading hours for dollars, and are confidently creating their own income streams.

Angela says Sell Your Writing Online NOW (SYWON) members quickly make their mark on the Web. "Many proudly tell me: I've quit my day job! That's hugely satisfying, helping writers to conquer the Web."
