Can you build a lucrative writing business if you just get paid to write articles and special reports?

Get paid to write articles and special reports

You could focus your business on just these two projects and do very, very well. Many of the high-end B2B freelance writers who make mid- to high- six-figures just do this type of work for corporations. These big companies have the budget, the systems, and the marketing know-how in place to understand the value of these projects, and they VERY often use freelancers to get it done.

According to SEO Journal:

Marketing Sherpa reports distribution lead to a 2,000% increase in blog traffic and a 40% increase in revenue.

Are you catching that? Do you know what most clients (big or small) would do to get a 2,000% increase in traffic to their blog? And a 40% revenue bump? Please! They’d faint first, then hug you when they came to.

“Special reports” is a bit vague. What it boils down to in most cases is an info-packed 10-25 pages that highlights a service or product a company offers – features, benefits, case studies, stats… not much in the way of in-your-face sales copy. Many times it’s a matter of giving a thorough description of WHAT needs doing, but holding back on HOW to do it. Readers learn a lot about some function that’s crucial to their business, and most importantly, discover this is not a task (or product) they want to take on in-house.

These projects are money makers for everyone involved. The client makes more sales, the client’s customers ultimately make more money if they invest in whatever your client’s selling, and of course, you get paid to write!
