$600 in One Day for Research You Could Do

I was hired to perform research and present the results in a format provided to me by my client and in return I received my second highest pay day yet. I have just completed this GetAFreelancer project which did not involve much in the way of writing. In fact, I probably delivered less than 500 words as most of the work product was in the form of statistical information.

Research forms the major part of my working day, indeed I spend far less time writing than I do surfing the internet for material to support my scribbling.

Delivering good quality content and copy requires good research. I frequently read articles that demonstrate a clear lack of understanding of the subject matter, and this comes through even with those pieces on subjects I have practically no familiarity with to begin with. If I can identify a poorly researched piece of writing then so can other readers. If you are seeking to persuade a reader to adopt your point of view, or indeed, buy a product or service, then you need to deliver well researched content.

A Personal eBook Project

I’ve written several eBooks of varying length and varying topics. They can be brilliant excursions into a topic that holds you or they can be a complete pain in the B-hind. They also don’t tend to pay so well in my opinion but as a relative novice to the market, I haven’t gotten enough eBooks under my belt to command the rises in fee that my shorter works seem to be getting…or maybe that’s just a confidence thing with me.

I’m scoping out a project which is a personal one, indeed a deeply personal matter which I sincerely believe needs to be told.

The medium I have chosen to put this story together with is an eBook.

eBooks are cheap to produce and to prepare and this probably accounts for the huge number of works that are produced. As a ghost writer of some of these dubious works, I’ve been paid anything between $150 to $1,000 for works ranging in size from 10,000 to 25,000 words. Given that an advertisement in a local paper can cost a business anything from £30 for a small inch by inch box on tomorrows fish and chip wrapper and in this light, paying £100 is chicken feed for something someone can put their own name on and claim as their own.
