That's larger than the entire direct-response industry.

Not only that — This new kind of writing is the shortest kind of project you can do — typically just 300-500 words — and the pay averages $2,000. And we're only in the early stages. More and more businesses are adopting this kind of writing on a massive scale. Which is why if you want to future-proof your writing career … Please read the briefing Rebecca created for you [here](. Just Published: The November Issue of Barefoot Writer From Barefoot Writer editor, Mindy McHorse … "One thing that sometimes gets blurred in the freelancing world is the fact that we're all human.

"But you know what? Connecting with people on a human level is central to good persuasive writing, and to good client relationships. So we dive into that this month with content on everything from compliments to the way you present yourself to making sure you're communicating in a positive – and honest – way. "Just look at our three interviews for examples on how to present yourself authentically – Bonnie Caton, Steve Mauer, and Sean McCool share empowering back-stories that are sure to help you recognize just how much you have to offer, right now, just as you are.
