HOW TO WRITE AND GET PAID FOR IT.

overview:

Have you ever heard the expression, "everyone has a book in them that’s trying to get out? What does this really mean? Not everyone writes books, do they? No, not many attempt the long, difficult process of writing a book-length manuscript. But a growing number of individuals are being paid for their writing; and, they’ve never attempted to write a book! Why? Think about it! When you’re driving to work in the morning, listening to the radio, what do you hear? People talking, right? It may surprise you that very little of that talk is spontaneous.

The radio people work from written material, which means ? Yes, someone has to WRITE the information down to be read over the airwaves. Here’s another example. Your mother’s birthday is coming up. What do you do? You buy a card.

Internet auctions started as a hobby for a few computer people in the San Francisco area to have a “virtual swap meet” and get rid of some things they had, and find some things they wanted.

Where there is opportunity there is risk. I’ll help you understand both, to maximize one and avoid the other.

An online auction is just like any traditional auction, fundamentally. Someone (a “seller”) offers something either at a set price, a minimum price, or on open bidding. Others (“bidders”) make offers on the item by stating what they will pay. Upon successful completion there will generally be a “highest bidder,” who has now become the “buyer.”
