Where the writing money is (+ free training today!)

So many profitable opportunities for writers… September 6, 2024 [The Writer’ s Life]( "The best investment you can make is in yourself." —Warren Buffett Hi {NAME}, When they asked bank robber Willie Sutton why he robbed banks, he reportedly answered: "Because that's where the money is." Which became the adage "Go where the money is." And eventually, the idea behind it became known as Sutton's Law. For investors, Sutton's Law means they should first seek out the "low-hanging fruit." For doctors, it means first consider the most obvious diagnosis. And for writers? Start where you'll have the easiest time making money. Now, for you, that might mean choosing a niche where you have work experience … Because whatever job (or jobs!) you've had, there is AT LEAST one industry where you can leverage that experience into a lucrative writing career. Or, it could mean choosing a niche where you're the prospect … Maybe you're a mom, a retiree, a college student, a caretaker … or you've been in martial arts for 10 years or enjoy the great outdoors. There's no "right" answer. But since we're talking about low-hanging fruit … Today I want to introduce you to one of the biggest, juiciest "low-hanging fruits" of the paid writing world. It offers … ✔️ very low competition … ✔️ professional fees for writers just starting out … ✔️ and extremely high demand! In fact, demand is so high … you can make six figures a year writing for only a couple of clients. I'm talking about business-to-business writing — or B2B.

Finance, beauty products, pet supplies, infant safety, tech, medical, office supplies, communications … Almost any industry you can think of likely has numerous B2B companies selling in it. And besides the huge variety of industries in B2B, there's also a big variety of projects B2B marketers need written … Articles, blogs, case studies, white papers, video scripts, emails, social media messaging … It's all here, along with a lot more. But here's the kicker … Companies in B2B expect to pay professional fees for all of them. You can make $800–$1,250 per day … even if you're just starting out! In today's article below, legendary B2B expert Steve Slaunwhite illustrates just how big the B2B opportunity is with an example of a $20 million toaster.

According to the BMA, business-to-business companies in the U.S. spend approximately $85 billion a year to promote their goods and services. That's such a big honkin' number that I usually get a few "wows" from the audience. But what does that number really mean? It's so big that it's difficult to put into perspective. How does $85 billion break down into a real opportunity for a writer who is interested in pursuing this fun and very profitable niche? Well, to answer that question, I'm going to introduce another example I often use in seminars and teleclasses: the $20 million toaster. [Continue reading here.]( Your ALL-ACCESS Key — Just $1!
