Sure, you could do what every other freelance writer is doing to make money.
You can buy Writer’s Market ... or check one of the other guides to the periodical market.
Find magazines you think might publish your writing.
Sit around and dream up article ideas for them – gratis, of course, since the editors aren’t paying you to do so.
Then spend many additional hours writing query letters – and sending them to editors in the hopes they’ll hire you to write an article for their magazine.
Of course, most don’t really "hire" you. At best, they merely encourage you to go ahead and write your article ... and agree to look at it once it’s finished.
But they’re not obligated to buy the article you write for them. Not in the least.
At their whim, they can reject your article. You earn nothing – or at best, a measly "kill fee."
Are you beginning to see that making a decent living by writing magazine articles is an uphill battle at best ... and a pipe dream at worst?
The simple truth is: writing articles for magazines doesn’t pay very well.
Many top markets pay the same dollar a word that they paid 5, 10, even 20 years ago.
And that’s the top tier. Thousands of other magazines pay nominal fees for articles -- $100 ... $75 ... even $50 or less – for an article that could take you as long as a week to research and write!
Worse, many magazines don’t pay at all ... or just pay contributors with free copies of the magazine in which their article is published.
Novice freelancers write for these markets to gain clips, bylines, and experience. Smart? Maybe. But it sure hurts the rest of us – by driving article fees down to rock-bottom levels.
You see, pay scales for freelance writers in magazine publishing have remained flat for decades.
Thinking you can make more money writing online articles for Web sites and e-newsletters? Think again ... .
There are dozens of Web sites where e-newsletter editors can download more articles to than they could ever hope to run. All of them free.
Why? The authors of these e-zine articles make their money from publicity and exposure.
The articles they write and give away are seen by thousands of Internet users. A small fraction of these readers click to the author’s Web site, where they order his products.
But don’t despair
If you burn to write articles – and get paid handsomely for your work – there’s a "hidden" magazine market that can enable you to do just that.
The name of this hidden, highly lucrative magazine market, along with all the details of writing for it – including the names of the publications ... how to contact their editors ... articles they need written ... how they select writers for assignments ... what they pay ... .
Are all revealed in my new e-book, Top Dollar for Your Articles. This simple, unique guide can double or triple your article writing income this year. Best of all, you can examine it risk-free for the next 90 days by clicking below now:

The "hidden" magazine market you’ll discover is corporate magazines.
If that news disappoints you, it shouldn’t. Many of the company magazine markets listed in Top Dollar for Your Articles rival the slickest consumer magazines in graphics, production values – and writing.
Think these magazines just want you to recycle press releases or write boring stories about their products. Not at all!
Today’s corporate magazine editors want to give their readers great reading, often on fascinating topics. Everything from how to prevent global warming to robots that perform human surgery. And you’ll be rewarded handsomely for your efforts.
