Writer's Business Academy "Makes the Grade" For Writers and Authors Who Want to Learn How To Make Money From Their Writing
The Writer's Business Academy gets top marks from writers and authors struggling to survive in this economic downturn. With a proven curriculum that shows them exactly how to build long-term success, growth and profitability into their writing businesses, students can once again take control over...

TOULON, CRANCE March 26, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Oh the glamorous life of the writer! On one hand, it seems like the perfect career - offering the opportunity to work from home, spending a few hours a day in front of a computer tapping out the next great American novel, or whipping up a sales letter, Website copy or special report - becoming an instant celebrity and being able to travel the world, enjoying the benefits of fame and fortune.

But for many writers and authors, the reality is a lot less pleasant. On average, many writers have an annual income of between $5,000 and $10,000 a year, and according to author Jack King, almost 98% of freelance authors and writers have to work at a second job in order to pay their bills.

In addition to that, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, "Occupational Outlook Handbook" 2008-2009 edition - the outlook for most writing and editing jobs is expected to be competitive and crowded because many people are attracted to the dream of the lifestyle.

And this is backed up by Google, where a search for "become a writer" returns 33,300,000 results, "copywriter" shows 4,230,000 websites and "make money as a writer" gives you 29,800,000 urls to look through.

"With the alarming downward spiral of the world economy, and the inexpensive and readily available technology - almost anyone can slap up a Website or a Blog and call themselves a writer - without having any training or natural ability. So it's no wonder that real writers and authors are worried about how to differentiate themselves and stand out from the crowd and be able to make a decent living." said Cheryl Antier, the Director of the Writer's Business Academy and a successful writer who spends the majority of her time on the French Riviera. "This makes things bad from both sides - it's bad for businesses and people who are trying to hire a real writer - and have to wade through all the fakes and phonies and people who have no clue what they're doing, and it's harder on the real writers who are forced to compete against people who are willing to write for pennies on the dollar and have no real writing skills."

And that's where the WritersBusinessAcademy.info comes in. It offers writers and authors a flexible, results-focused real-world learning environment that allows students take what they're learning one day and apply it to their writing business the next.

"Every lesson in each module has been designed to help writer and authors start from where they are and go through the steps to build a successful and profitable writing business," said Dan Shaw, COO of the Writer's Business Academy. "Students start with the basics - and build the rock-solid foundation that every successful business is built on - a good business plan. And then they go on from there, learning how to create a Website that's optimized to make the best use out of all the social networking and Web 2.0 tools. They learn how to make sure their chosen writing niche can support them, and what they need to do to differentiate themselves and stand out from the crowd. They go on to learn advanced marketing and promotional strategies that focus on their unique business or book, so that as they're learning, they're also actually building their business and making money from their writing."

Continuing their eduction through online centers like the WritersBusinessAcademy.info has become a popular alternative to brick and mortar campuses for many professionals. One of the biggest advantages is the flexibility - The Writer's Business Academy student center is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - so students can log-in at times that are convenient for them, and they can work through the lessons at their own pace. The curriculum is offered in different ways, to appeal to the different learning styles of its students - and everything is available with just a click of their mouse.

Other advantages students enjoy with the Writer's Business Academy is their studentcentered mentoring, affordable payment plans, hand-picked mastermind groups and a wide range of promotional sites where students can promote themselves, their writing and their businesses.

But the biggest advantage of all, according to one former student is that while the courses were challenging, getting started was simple, the curriculum focused on what she needed to learn, and she was able to apply it to her business and achieve her professional goals.

Here's what Tami Kelly, pet sculptress and student at the Writer's Business Academy had to say: "As a completely solo and new business owner I found myself confused and inundated with so much conflicting information that I felt like I hit a brick wall. I wasn't making clear decision, I was falling off-track and wasting a lot of precious time and I discovered that even though I have a unique product thought everyone should be able to see clearly how my work was different from my competitors - they didn't!" Kelly went on to add, "Since becoming a student at the Writer's Business Academy, I've learned how to be more focused on my product and have targeted a narrower market. I have a business plan with clear goals and a written strategy. And now, when someone asks me what I do, I'm able to grab their attention, show the their need and establish myself as an expert in less than 15 seconds." "My current goal is to complete three marketing campaigns by this winter. I am so excited and see a light at the end of the tunnel..."

Writers, authors and solo-preneurs who are tired of struggling to start building a longterm and profitable business are invited to visit the Writer's Business Academy to find out how they can take back control of their financial future and security.
