    Introduction: words and money - the struggle for attention

    Hi fellow writer


    Welcome.

    There's never been a better time to be a writer.

    Today, you can write something in an hour which can change your life — or someone else's life. You can write something in eight hours which will make you thousands of dollars a day, and give you an on-going income for life.


    Words and money: the challenge

    Yes, there's money in words, but there's a HUGE challenge for creators too.

    It's this.

    Writing is an art, as well as a business. These two activities require very different mindsets. How do you develop and maintain your creativity, while also focusing on hard-headed business strategies?

    If you're struggling with this, I'm not surprised…

    Please take heart, you're not alone.

    Publishing today is a struggle for everyone, because the world of words and money has not only changed, it continues to change.


    From the 1990s to now, the world of publishing has changed — it will continue to change

    Way back in the mid-1990s, I went to a presser — a launch and press conference, held by a mainstream, highly successful newspaper publishing company in Australia. The company is huge. It's been publishing newspapers for almost 200 years.

    At the time they served alcohol at pressers, and there was food, which shows you how long ago it was. This venerable publishing company was in the vanguard of newspaper companies. They'd launched a website, hence the presser.

    I was thrilled. Happy days: mainstream publishing companies had recognized the web's potential. This was wonderful news for writers.

    I'd managed to get my my first Internet connection a decade earlier. In the 1980s, the web wasn't even a gleam in anyone's eye. I could see the world changing however, and was beyond excited that this publishing company saw that too. They meant to harness the web for their business.

    The road to hell, as they say, is paved with good intentions.

    Fast forward 20 years, and that wonderful publishing
