Earn Your First $1,000 as a Freelance Writer: Get Published on Major Blogs and Publications

I’ve come to notice one thing over the years: social proof can make or break your career as a freelance writer. Try to take a look at the profile of most freelance writers that command mouthwatering rates from clients and you shouldn’t be surprised to find that they have been featured in (or have written for) at least a few prominent publications/magazines.
I’ve found that one of the reasons why I can command huge rates with my clients is due to the fact that I have lots of social proof; being featured in Fast Company, Huffington Post, Inc.com, Digital Journal, etc. is nothing to sneeze at. This is an advantage I have that makes it easy for me to:
  • Easily close freelance writing deals
  • Command better rates
  • Work on my own terms since I’m seen as an authority/expert
However, the purpose of the Earn Your First $1,000 as a Freelance Writer challenge is to show YOU, a beginner, how to achieve the same. A core part of this process is helping you get published on major publications; I’ll be using these same techniques for the alias I created for this challenge, and I can assure you that it WORKS!
Without further ado, let’s get started:
Start Small
I’ve noticed that most major publications won’t as much as take a glance at you if you haven’t been published anywhere else. As a beginner freelance writer, this can pose a bit of a challenge.
The solution to this, however, is to first attempt to get published on one or two small blogs. Once you’ve been published on these small blogs, you can then leverage this to get published on bigger publications.
Ultimately, you want to take advantage of name and status of major publications to boost your credibility and perceived value; as such, while the smaller blogs can serve as a way to showcase samples of your work, they are just a means to an end. Your main target is the bigger blogs.
To get published on smaller blogs, simply look for one or two average blogs in your niche and attempt to guest post on them; you can follow the advice in the section on “how to decide on ideas to pitch” (below) when trying to get published on small blogs, too.
How to Effectively Reach Out to a Publication and Get Published
If you’re like a lot of writers, you’ve probably reached out to major publications before in an attempt to get published on them only to hear nothing from them. After doing this for a while without response, it’s natural to give up.
You are not alone.
I’ve done the very same thing for a long time, and I had no success until I evolved my approach. I eventually discovered one of the main reasons why most people fail to get published on top publications, and it is usually due to this mistake: PITCHING A MAJOR PUBLICATION DIRECTLY USING A CONTACT/SUBMISSIONS FORM. At least, it has been so for me.
I’ll tell you this, no matter how much a MAJOR publication urges you to use their submissions/contact form, try it first but expect it not to work. It’s sad, but doing so has never worked for me. I know many writers who have tried using submissions forms to get published on major publications unsuccessfully, but they only got published after using the alternative means I will recommend.
I read somewhere (I’m not sure where, anymore) that the submissions form on the Huffington Post gets thousands of submissions daily. That’s every single day, and I’m sure there’s no way they can realistically go through all those submissions.
For major publications, telling you to contact them through a submissions form is the easiest thing for them, but they will naturally hide the fact that thousands of submissions often get through those forms in a day and that it is impossible to go through all these submissions.
What to do instead: Instead of reaching out to publications via their submissions contact form, or through a generic “contributions” email address, find the email address of a relevant editor (an editor in the section you want to get published in) and pitch that editor a relevant. I’ve also had success with pitching managing editors, and in the case of the Huffington Post, many writers have had success with pitching Arianna Huffington directly.
Again, submitting via a generic form is usually recipe for failure. Try it, but be ready to use an alternative approach if it doesn’t work.
This is different for blogs, though, since they are more smaller and manageable. So if you have the email address of a blog’s editor, go for it! If a blog asks you to use a submissions form, you are also likely to get published that way.
How to Find Editors of Major Publications
So once you’ve realized that you have to pitch an editor directly, how do you find the right editor to pitch? Here are a few tips that have worked for me:
1. The Masthead: Every major publication has a “masthead,” “staff list,” “team” page or some other page that lists the name (and, often, the email address) of their staff. You can simply scan this list for the details of the editor you need to pitch.
2. The Content: If a publication doesn’t have a masthead, or if you can’t find it, all hope is not lost. Simply visit the relevant category on the site you want to be featured on, read several articles to find out who is the editor (usually this is the name that pops up the most) and note it down.
3. Google Search: If all else fails, a simple search for “{Publication} {Category} Editor” should work just fine. E.g., “New York Times Business Editor.”
4. Twitter: Most editors at reputable publications proudly showcase the fact that they are editors of a major publication on their social media profiles. Simply searching for them on Twitter can yield positive results.
How to Find Editor Emails
Once you’ve found the name of an editor, the next step is to find their email. Here are a few tips:
  • Use Google search to try to find their email. A simple search such as “{Editor’s name} email” should do the trick; you can also try variations of this, but you will find most editor’s emails after combing through the first few results.
  • Carefully check the blog/publication for the editor’s email; most publications publicly list the email address of their editors in the editor’s profile, or in the editor’s article.
  • Use email finder apps like Voila Norbert and RocketReach to find the email address of editors; these apps let you insert a name and domain name and they will automatically find the correct email for you.
  • Find the editor’s LinkedIn profile and use Lusha to find and verify this email address.
How to Decide on Ideas to Pitch
Once you find the right person to pitch at a publication, what will ultimately make or break your chances of getting featured is the ideas you pitch. If you pitch the right idea, you might find yourself published on your favorite publication in a matter of days. If you pitch the wrong idea, don’t be surprised if you hear nothing.
If your idea is good enough, even if you’re not the best writer, many editors will happily work with you until you have something fit for publication.
That said, when pitching blogs and publications, I don’t aim to be the next genius whose idea will change the world. Instead, I have just one goal: get published. To do this, without necessarily having a groundbreaking idea, here’s what I do:
  • I look at the most recent articles on a blog/publication and look for a pattern; I formulate my own unique idea that adheres to this pattern. For example, some publications prefer listicles, some prefer humor, some prefer hard facts, etc. You just have to find out what a publication want and give it to them.
  • I look at the most popular articles on the publication and look for a pattern; I formulate a unique idea that follows this pattern.
  • I try to see if a publication is looking for any topic in particular at that point in time; some publications dedicate certain months to certain topics, so they are usually looking for articles around that topic. Pitch something relevant and you will be published.
  • I try to see if the editor expresses interest in certain types of articles on social media; Occasionally, editors tweet to ask that people who have experience, or who can write, about certain topics to reach out to them. This might be your opportunity to get published.
  • I look for patterns in the content they republish; in an attempt to grow the reach of their publications, editors usually scour the web for great content. Once they find content they like, they liaise with the owner to allow them republish it on their publication. Simply noticing a pattern of what an editor likes, and pitching something similar, will give you an edge.
How to Craft a Winning Pitch
When all is said and done, you want to get into action. It’s time to start pitching. It’s time to learn how to craft a winning pitch. Here are a few tips:
  • Make your title simple and/or specific; I have the best success with titles that use the format, “Writing for {Publication}” or titles that specify my idea while letting them know it’s a piece I want to contribute e.g, “Guest Post: {My Post Title}.”
  • Start by establishing social proof; Since you’re a beginner, you can skip this part. However, I’ll replace it with some kind of comment that makes it clear that you follow the publication and are familiar/impressed with their kind of content. This places you above the pack.
  • Go straight to the point; simple pitches always win. Editors are busy people and they don’t have the time to go through pages of content in an email. Going straight to the point will give you an edge.
  • Outline your idea; include the title and concept so that the editor has an idea what your article will look like.
Here are some example templates that have landed me a guest post on some of the biggest blogs:
Template 1 (with social proof):
Hi {Editor’s name},
I’d like to inquire about writing for {publication name}. I’m a contributor to {publication 1}, {publication 2} and other major publications, andit will be an honor to become a contributor to {publication name}, too.
Here is my first proposed article:
Title: {Insert Content Title}
Concept: {Explain what my article will be about, and, if possible, highlight some key points}
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
{My Name}
Template 2 (without social proof):
Hi {Editor’s name},
I hope all is well with you.
Thanks for the great work over at {publication name}! ðŸ™‚
I’d like to join {publication name} blogging team. My proposed first article is titled {Insert article title} and I have attached it to this email.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks,
{My Name}
Note: I’ve used the first template to help my clients get published on some of the world’s biggest publications, and the second was used specifically for The Huffington Post.
A quick analysis of the above templates show a few things:
  • They are very short and to the point; the last thing you want to do is send pages of content to a busy editor.
  • The first template, which is the most successful by far, references social proof I’ve gotten and gives clear insight into the article I plan to submit.
The Art of the Follow Up
I manage ghostwriting campaigns for several clients and have repeatedly helped them get featured on some of the biggest publications in the world. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned about getting published on major publications is that of follow up.
There are several reasons why an editor might not reply to your email: perhaps he/she is busy, didn’t get your email, didn’t feel your idea was relevant at the time, planned to reply but forgot, etc. There are just so many reasons, but many writers, wrongly, feel that an editor didn’t reply because the editor didn’t like them or their idea. So they stop and get discouraged.
No matter the reason, however, ALWAYS follow up with editors that do not reply. How soon should you follow up? Research says that 90 percent of people will reply within 48 hours or never; my personal experience agrees with this. Feel free to follow up within 2 – 4 days  of your first pitch. If no response, follow up about a week after. If no response again, send another follow up another week after. I tend to send up to three followups before finally giving up on a particular publication.
How to Leverage Early Success to Gain More Success
Getting your article published in your first major publication can seem impossible. It’s an uphill battle, and many people will simply ignore you and treat you as if you don’t exist. That’s because you are a “nobody” at the moment. It’s up to you to change this by turning yourself into a somebody; persist until you get that first one or two articles published in major publications and you’re golden! Things will suddenly become easier from there.
Once you’ve been published in one or two major publications, leverage this fact to get published in others. Highlight the fact that you’ve been published in a major publication anytime you pitch another major publication.
Having been published in a few major places, your cold pitches will suddenly have more power to them.
PS. Not having a byline on major publications shouldn’t stop you from prospecting for clients; you can still cold pitch and prospect for clients in the interim. Getting published on major publications is a long-term strategy for significantly boosting your rates.
Action Steps:
1. Identify 5 – 10 major blogs/publications that you can write for to boost social proof; not all of them will respond to you, so it’s better that your list is big enough.
2. Create your own “Blog/Publications Outreach spreadsheet” and fill the spreadsheet with information about the blogs/publications you found. Since most of these publications won’t reply to your pitch, and follow up is a core part of the process, this spreadsheet makes it easy to track your pitch and follow up efforts.
3. Start pitching the blogs and publications following the instructions in this article.

BUKU PINTAR DAPAT KERJA GAJI TINGGI PINDAH KERJA GAJI SEMAKIN TINGGI made by retyping the book BEST SELLER of the author, entitled “Buku Pintar Mencari Kerja”. This ebook available on google play.

In 2015, I had the idea of a startup company where the readers can decide for themselves the next story. WASN'T THIS A GREAT IDEA? IF can be realized WILL BE WORTH billions USD. Because CAN PRODUCE FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS even tens of millions USD annually. 

In theory, in 10-20 years into the future, my startup income, amounting to hundreds of million USD annually can be obtained easily. AND IF FOLLOWED BY MANY COMPANIES IN THE WHOLE WORLD WILL THEN BE A NEW INDUSTRIAL worth trillions USD. 

To be honest. Currently I'm not having a lot of money. So I start marketing my startup with blogspot.

My STARTUP :


A story with millions of choices in it - looking investor like you.



Try to imagine this. When you're reading a story on the web or blog, you are given two choices. You can choose the next story based on your own choice. After selecting then you can continue reading the story. Shortly afterwards you will be presented back to the 2 other options. The next choice is up to you. Then you continue the story you are reading. After that you will be faced again with 2 choices. So onwards. The more stories you read so the more options you have taken.


If you feel curious then you can re-read the story by changing your selection. Then you will see a different story with the story that you have read previously. The question now is why is this so? Because the storyline will be varying according to your choice. 


I, as the author is planning to make tens of thousands of articles with millions of choices in it. With tens of thousands of articles then you like to see a show of your favorite series on TV for several years. The difference is while watching your favorite TV series, then you can not change the story. Meanwhile, if you read this story then you can alter the way the story according to your own choice.

You might say like this. Sounds like a book "choose your own adventure". Books I read when I was young.

Correctly. The idea is taken from there. But if you read through a book, the story is not so exciting. Due to the limited number of pages. When a child first you may already feel interesting. But if you re-read the book now then becomes no fun anymore because you don't get anything with the amount of 100-200 pages. 

Have you ever heard of game books?  When you were boy or girl, did you like reading game books? I think you've heard even happy to read it.

Gamebooks are sometimes informally called choose your own adventure books or CYOA which is also the name of the Choose Your Own Adventure series published byBantam BooksGamebook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gamebook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A gamebook is a work of fiction that allows the reader to participate in the story by making effective choices. The narrative branches along various paths through the use of numbered paragraphs or pages.

Bantam Books with the Choose Your Own Adventure 

series has produced more than 250 million US 

dollars. While I offer you more powerful than the Choose 

Your Own Adventure. Because of what? Because the 

story that I made much more interesting than the stories 

created by the authors of Bantam Books. You will not get anything just to 100-200 pages. While the story that I created is made up of tens of thousands of articles with millions of choices in it.

For comparison are the books published with the theme "choose your own adventure" produces more than 250 million copies worldwide. If the average price of a book for 5 USD, the industry has produced more than 1.5 billion USD. But unfortunately this industry has been abandoned because the reader begins to feel bored. The last book was published entitled "The Gorillas of Uganda (prev." Search for the Mountain Gorillas ")". And this book was published in 2013.

Based on the above, then you are faced with two choices. Are you interested in reading my story is? Or you are not interested at all. The choice is in your hands.
If you are interested then spread widely disseminated this article to your family, friends, neighbors, and relatives. You can also distribute it on facebook, twitter, goggle +, or other social media that this article be viral in the world. By doing so it is a new entertainment industry has been created.

Its creator named Richard Nata.

The full articles that talks about this: 
  



WHY DO I NEED STARTUP FUNDS FROM INVESTORS? I NEED A LOT OF FUNDS FROM INVESTORS BECAUSE I HAVE TO LOOKING FOR EXPERT PROGRAMMERS(IT).BECAUSE THE DATA IS HANDLED IS VERY LARGE, IT MAY HAVE TO WEAR SOME PROGRAMMERS(IT).

I CAN NOT WEAR SOME FREELANCE PROGRAMMER BECAUSE THE DATA MUST BE MONITORED CONTINUOUSLY FROM VIRUSES, MALWARE, SPAM, AND OTHERS.

IN ADDITION FUNDS FROM INVESTORS IS ALSO USED TO BUY SERVERS WITH VERY LARGE CAPACITY. FUNDS ARE ALSO USED TO PAY EMPLOYEE SALARIES AND OPERATIONAL COSTS OF THE COMPANY.

FUNDS CAN ALSO BE USED FOR ADVERTISING AND OTHER MARKETING STRATEGIES.FUNDS CAN ALSO BE USED TO ADVERTISE MY STARTUP AND OTHER MARKETING STRATEGIES.

IF I GET A VERY LARGE FUND, THE PART OF THE FUNDS USED TO TRANSLATE THE STORY INTO VARIOUS LANGUAGES.With more and more languages, the more readers we get.
WITH MORE AND MORE READERS, THE MORE REVENUE WE GET. 

AS AN INVESTOR THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FEEL ANXIOUS ABOUT YOUR FUNDS. BECAUSE YOUR FUNDS WILL NEVER BE LOST BECAUSE IN 3-5 YEARS YOU HAVE RETURNED THE FUNDS COUPLED WITH PROFIT.
THIS BUSINESS IS ONE AND THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD.

If we can make a good story, so that the readers will 

come again and again for further reading the story then 

our earnings will continue to grow and will never 

diminish. This is due to new readers who continued  to 

arrive, while long remained loyal readers become our 

customers.

So that the number of our readers will continue to 

multiply over time. With the increasing number of loyal 

readership then automatically the amount of income we 

will also grow larger every year. The same thing 

happened in yahoo, google, facebook, twitter, linkedin, 

and others when they still startup.

Deuteronomy {28:13} And the LORD shall make thee the 

head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and 

thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do [them: ]

Try to imagine this. If I give a very unique story. It was the first time in the world. But the world already know this story even liked it. Because the world love the game books. While the story that I made is the development of game books.
Do you Believe if I dare say if I will succeed because my story will be famous all over the world as Harry Potter?
I believe it. Not because I was the author of the story, but because of the story that I made is unique and the only one in the world. 
Income from my startup :
1. Ads. With millions of unique visitors, the price of the ads will be expensive.
2. Affiliate marketing. In addition to advertising, we are also able to put up some banner from affiliate marketing.
3. Contribution of the readers. If you have a million readers and every reader to pay one US dollar per year then you will get the income of one million US dollars per year. 
If you have a million readers and every reader to pay one US dollar per month then you will get as much revenue twelve million US dollars per year.
4. Books and Comics. After getting hundreds of thousands to the millions of readers of the story will be made in books and the form of a picture story (comics).
5. Movies. If we have a good story with millions of readers then quickly we will be offered to make a film based on the story.
6. Merchandise related to characters. After the movies there will be made an offer for the sale of goods related to the characters.
7. Sales. With millions of email that we have collected from our readers so we can sell anything to them.
    Each income (1-7) worth millions to tens of millions of US dollars. 
    Because each income (1-7) worth millions to tens of millions of US dollars. Then in 10-20 years into the future, AI will be earning hundreds of million USD annually.
So how long do you think my story that I made could gather a thousand readers? Ten thousand readers? One hundred thousand readers? A million readers? Five million readers? Ten million readers? More than ten million readers?
But to get all of it of course takes time, can not be instant. In addition, it takes hard work, big funds and placement of the right people in the right positions.
By advertising, viral marketing, strong marketing strategies and SEO then a million readers can be done in less than a year. Ten million readers can be done in two to three years.
This is the marketing strategy of my startup.
When hundreds of thousands or millions of readers already liked my story then they have to pay to enjoy the story that I made.
If you are a visionary then you will think like this.
With the help of my great name in the world of business, my expertise in marketing, advertising, marketing by mouth, viral marketing, then collecting a million readers to ten million readers will be easy to obtain. Is not that right?
The question now is what if people like my story as they like Harry Potter? You will get tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of email addresses from readers. With that much email, we can sell anything to the readers.
Since April 2013, Wikipedia has around 26 million articles in 285 languages are written by 39 million registered users and a variety of anonymous people who are not known from other parts of the world.  Web ranked by Alexa, Wikipedia is a famous website number 6 which has been visited by 12% of all Internet users with 80 million visitors every month and it is only from the calculation of America.

resource : http://www.tahupedia.com/content/show/136/Sejarah-dan-Asal-Mula-Wikipedia

If no Wikipedia then need hundreds of thousands to millions of books required to make 26 million articles in 285 languages into books.

With the Wikipedia then people started to leave to read a book or books to seek knowledge about a subject or many subjects.

The same thing will happen. Read a story in a book or books to be abandoned. Read a story with millions of choices on the web or blog is far more interesting than reading a book or books. 

So what happens next? In 10-20 years ahead then read a story in a book to be abandoned. Otherwise my startup will grow and continue to develop into a new entertainment industry.

New entertainment industry, where I was a forerunner startup will continue to evolve. 
Therefore, in 10-20 years into the future, my startup will be earning hundreds of million USD annually.

So do not delay. Invest your money immediately to my startup. Take A Look. There are so many advantages if you want to invest in my startup.
WHY YOU SHOULD INVEST YOUR MONEY RIGHT NOW? .
IF YOU INVEST YOUR FUNDS IN ONE, TWO OR THREE YEARS INTO THE FUTURE, YOU MAY BE TOO LATE.
BECAUSE IN 1-3 YEARS INTO THE FUTURE THEN I'VE GOT THE FUNDS. THE FUNDS CAN COME FROM SOME INVESTORS, LOANS FROM BANKS OR FROM ADVERTISEMENTS POSTED ON MY BLOG.

IF I'VE GOT A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUNDS THEN I'VE NO NEED OF YOUR FUNDS. SO INVEST NOW OR NOT AT ALL.

My BLOG started to be written January 11, 2015. TODAY, MAY 30, 2015, THE NUMBER OF CLICKS HAS REACHED 56,750. SO FAR SO GOOD.

If I get big funds from investors then with a quick story that I wrote will spread throughout the world.

So I got acceleration because I can put ads in a large variety of media such as Google AdWords, Facebook, and others. I also can perform a variety of other marketing strategies.
If I do not get funding from investors then my story would still spread throughout the world. But with a longer time, Slow but sure.

So either I get funding from investors or not, the story that I wrote will remain spread throughout the world. Ha ... 7x

So don't worry, be happy.

My advice to you is you should think whether the data that I have provided to you makes sense or not .
If my data reasonable then immediately invest your funds as soon as possible.

Then we discuss how we plan further cooperation.

Thank you.
Lord Jesus bless you.
Amen
P.S. The offer letter I gave also to the hedge funds and 

venture capital and other major companies 

in the entire 

world. So who is fast then he will get it.


P.P.S. In addition, there is one more thing I 

want to tell you. If a story can generate tens 

of millions of US dollars, then what if made 


many stories? Then why do not you make 2, 3 or many stories? You will get hundreds of million USD annually.
