Write to Earn

The number one most important thing to becoming a successful freelance writer is having goals. Goals push you to become better and better. For example, here were my New Year’s Resolutions for 2008:

• Get published in 10 new publications
• Make at least a certain amount in a month (I had done this before but I wanted to start doing it consistently)
• Get over 11,000 hits a week on my Suite 101 site

Curious how I did? Well, I ended up getting published in around 15 new publications, I am consistently making well over my target amount a month with my writing and I blasted my goal of 11,000 hits by getting 16,000 the second week in December.

My New Year’s Resolutions for 2009?

• Consistently make $1,000 more a month than I did in 2008
• Get over 30,000 hits a week on Suite
• Get published in three new print publications
• Write one blog a day for all of my blogs
• Work less and make more
