Thursday 13: Things You Can Write
Dear fellow writers,
We know there is more to write than blogs and website content articles, or magazine articles or newspaper columns. But we forget sometimes, don’t we? We get stuck in a little writing rut and we begin to get bored with what we’re doing, over and over again.
Let’s start thinking again, beyond our usual writing assignments and online jobs. One of these options could be a great new fit for you:
- A flyer introducing a new business to the town.
- Biographies for city officials for your city’s web page.
- Pamphlets covering local history for the museums in your area.
- College Preparation Material and Info Sheets for college recruiters.
- Biographies and summaries for local politicians to use on websites and printed advertisements.
- House and property descriptions for the for-sale-by-owner owners and for smaller realty companies.
- Articles covering local politics, places to see, and things do in your area for a newspage. Publish it yourself and make money on the ads.
- Resumes, executive summaries, and cover letters for job-seekers.
- Poetry, love letters, even song lyrics…
- Product descriptions and business documents for work-at-home moms, crafters, artists.
- Press releases for independent films and music.
- Book reviews for the local paper or library.
- Brochures with service descriptions for salons, spas, etc.
I’d love to hear more ideas. What are you working on? What is your dream gig? What creative ways have you found to expand your writing business? Share with the rest of us; we’re all learning together.
