Goal Setting
0800 – yes I had a half hour lie in this morning, helped by the scaffolding keeping everything a bit darker than usual outside (not to mention the overcast and dull weather).

Just a short post today, because I wanted to share with you what happens when you set a goal to achieve something with your writing. I set myself a goal at the beginning of January to find ONE new client via my professional website, www.allisonwhitehead.co.uk. While some clients have found me through this blog, I [...]

I have had an interesting start to the New Year. I made it a goal that I would find at least one new client during January, and I’ve landed one today. But it came about in an interesting way. Judging by the emails I get asking about how to get into online writing, it seems [...]

Unless you are already a writer, you might wonder what an online writer actually gets up to all day.

It’s hard to believe it’s 2012 already! I’ve had a nice rest over Christmas and the New Year, and got started back at my desk yesterday, so I thought it was high time I wrote a fresh blog post. I’ve been over on my professional site already, at AllisonWhitehead.co.uk, writing the first of a series [...]
Let’s get one thing straight before I write anything else. I’m not against NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) in any way, shape or form. In fact it’s quite the opposite – I think it’s a great idea. But although I did give it some consideration this year, I’ve decided to forego the challenge once again. [...]

It seems like everyone wants to get into writing for the internet. But there is more to writing for the internet than just wanting it. You have to make a plan if it is going to work for you. It doesn’t matter if you work full time either – if you really want to start [...]

Knowing how much you earn from your online writing (or any other writing you do, come to that) is exceptionally important.

This is what I have been pondering over lately. You’ll notice I haven’t blogged for a couple of weeks and to be honest this is the main reason for it.

Well it’s a small start but I have spent some time this week developing my new client focused website, so my Hubpages goal has really been a sideline.

If you read my post way back in November 2009 titled 5 writing resolutions for 2010, you will know that the first item on my list was to relaunch my main client focused website.

Okay so what makes up the week of an online writer? Well it depends on what kind of work you do, who you do it for and how much of it you do.

his is really a sequel to my earlier post about my own 5 writing resolutions for 2010. Even as we are rushing around trying to plan for the big day on the 25th December, it’s good to set aside some time to evaluate how our writing careers have developed during the year.
