Hi Linda! Please send us an email at contact@filthyrichwriter.com and we will be more than happy to work through this with you!

I am 73, working full-time overnights at a Macy’s fulfillment center (love the people!) and manage my 7 (5+2) rentals with outstanding mortgages of nearly $2200/month. Currently I’m in discussions seeking to find the right couple to take over management and progressive development of the 5+2, which are dedicated to providing “Affordable NON-assisted Living in the Golden Years” mostly to women (WITAWA) but also to serious-minded men and couples. Someday soon I hope to transition to a part-time writing career . . . as I am able to retire from the weight of these obligations (which are also near and dear to my heart).

Though I majored in journalism during my college years and used my writing abilities in business environments, I have never written for someone else as a career. Although I am sincerely interested in CCA, my time is so limited now that without home internet I am restricted to those times when (a) I’m awake and (b) the library is open–I use the computer there and have a wonderful relationship with the staff (which I enjoy).

I watched the video (would like to do so again) . . . but I needed time to (a) digest and visualize (b) assess my financial options, and (c) coordinate my currently limited time schedule. Unfortunately, when I got back to the computers on my next day off from Macy’s, the window of opportunity had indeed closed. Could you get with Nicki to discuss whether she could resend the video invitation on a Tuesday or Wednesday so I could re-watch on Friday or Saturday (after I transition to days (on Thursday)?

I would greatly appreciate this opportunity.

Journalism, book writing, and blogging all fall under the umbrella of “content writing” (writing that offers information, inspiration, or entertainment). This can often pay less than copywriting as companies have come to expect to get content writing services cheaply. Part of the reason for that is the proliferation of unskilled “writers” in the market. Many people wrongly assume that content writing does not require any expertise and so the market is flooded. Copywriting, on the other hand, pays well because it requires a higher level of skill and often directly translates to helping a client increase revenue (although there will ALWAYS be some clients that try to get great copywriters for cheap!).

Hi Ben! Here’s a link to a previous post about copy editing vs copywriting which may be useful for you! https://filthyrichwriter.com/copywriting-qa-the-difference-between-copywriting-and-copy-editing/

I am considering editing at the moment as a possible side income, and was wondering how to get started in this field. I have experience writing blogs, creating basic websites and writing and publishing ebooks, aswell as both a BSc and PgDip in subjects requiring extensive assessments including a lot of essay writing.
I enjoy writing and especially proofreading, but am unsure where to turn next in order to get some helpful experience for this future venture.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the detailed and informative article on copyrighting, which appears to highlight to me a good level of understanding and expertise in the area

Thank you for the offer, we just brought a copyeditor on staff so we are set!

I couldn’t help noticing, though, that you may need a proofreader ..? Forgive me for saying this but having seen Nicki’s and Kate’s openness and sense of humour; I’m game if you need an extra proofreader. Cheers!

We are so glad you enjoyed it, Kate is the best!
