| Making
Money Overseas - Writing eBooks For EscapeArtist.com |
|
| Do You
Know Something Our Readers Would Like To Know? |
|
| Starting in
this issue of the Escape From America Magazine we are adding eBooks. What
is special about our eBooks is the subjects and the prices. We'll
get to the prices in a minute, let's discuss the subjects of our eBooks
first to see if you'd qualify as one of our eBooks writers. If so,
you've got a chance to make some money, perhaps enough to live on in a
foreign country. (In fact it could work into making a whole lot of
money, but we're not going to make grandiose claims.) |
|
| What we are
seeking is subject and content. As anyone who has been visiting our
website and reading our magazine knows, we rely totally on content.
We are seeking writers who can write eBooks that have something of value
by way of content. If you've lived for five years in Buenos Aires
you probably know enough to tell someone how to move there, how to find
real estate there, how to find a job there, where to go, where not to go
and so forth. |
|
|
|
|
|
| If
you've started a hostel in Guatemala, you can probably tell readers how
to open a hostel. You get the point. You have to know whereof
you speak and you have to supply resources to the reader that would otherwise
take them months to gather the hard way. |
|
| Reports
like these do not have a mass market appeal. They appeal to a niche
audience, and that is where we come in. Our subscription base is
now just over 170,000 subscribers and we are becoming the largest magazine
of our type in the world. Last week we hit a record number of visitors
for a 24 hour period; with more than 100,000 visitors on the website at
the same time. It is clear that we have arrived. |
|
| We
are trying to provide as much content as we can and because we don't charge
for our magazine we cannot pay writers for our articles. eBooks are
the obvious solution to providing greater content and paying the writer
for their efforts. |
|
| So, you're
not a professional writer, does that mean we still want your report? |
|
| If you've
been there and done it, we absolutely want your report! |
|
|
| What
we're looking for are ideas, not Pulitzer Prize writers. Ideas are what
fuel our magazine and our website. Now we want to expand that concept
into eBooks for expats. You don't have to be a professional writer
to submit a report that provides important information - - information
that you yourself have learned by having been there and done it. That
is exactly what our readers are seeking, facts about living overseas from
people who've done it, facts about buying a barge and sailing down the
Danube, what it takes to migrate to Argentina, how to open a business in
Prague, buy an island in Belize, get a job in Paris, start a farm in Mozambique,
run an internet business out of the Dominican Republic, run a rent-a-scooter
shop in Mauritius. |
|
| What
we are seeking is rich content, style takes second place. |
|
| You don't
have to be Hemingway to write eBooks for us, but you do have to have a
rudimentary command of the english language. |

. . . and, as they are fond to say, a great deal more. |

the reports, but the articles have to be written clearly enough to be comprehensible. |
|
| Money |
|
| How do we
pay you? We pay you 50% of everything earned by your report. The
reports will be featured in our new eBooks For Expats section. They
will range in price from $5 to $100 depending on the report. Most
of them will be under $25, but some will be in the $100 range when submitted
by professional writers presenting proprietary information that is not
commonly available. Also note, that many of the new eBooks will be featured
first as a $5 special in our magazine. This allows our subscribers
a reward for being our subscribers. Thereafter, the reports will
be placed in our eBooks For Expats section at their regular price and promoted
by links and banners. |
