sold my first articles

mdmkay · Jul 14, 2005

I sold my first articles. They were only on associated content but they were 4 and they sold quickly so it made me feel good. I'd never really tried doing any freelancing before or even non-fiction; but decided that since I had a background in patient teaching as a RN, although I'm retired now, I might as well use it or lose it.

Way to go, Kay! Don't minimize the accomplishment! Selling your first articles is definitely a marker on your path to your goals--good for you!

Kay!

Way to go!

NICE GOING! (Don't speak of a publication as an 'only'...be proud that you're on your way. There are no 'onlys'.) CONGRATS!

Hooray & congrats! Now keep going.

azbikergirl · Jul 15, 2005

"only??" -- Bah!! That's a terrific accomplishment -- don't minimize it. Woot for you! Congrats.

Kay - congrats! That is GREAT news! Don't you dare trivialize it.

WOO HOO! WTG KAY! Write On! :Thumbs:

Well, I tell you this AC thing is really an odd experience they can keep you busy alright. I sold another one today and it appears that the purchase prices are slowly creeping up (beats the heck out of free though).......and I've already made more than I did on my royalties on 2 books with PA :Hammer:

. They must keep busy because these things sell just about as fast as you can write the silly things but I'm not complaining....my jeep broke down...we can use the money!!!

I said it before and I'll say it again- congrats! M'n'M band for you!

Congratulations!

Congrats! You might want to consider starting to expand out into better paying markets --- magazines and the like. Good luck!

mdmkay · Jul 19, 2005

Thank you everyone. I ended up selling 5 my first week so I felt pretty good about it. I am thinking about expanding but I want to get some more experience under my belt first since I really don't have background in doing non-fiction articles.

Experienced or not, you must be doing something right, so Yahoo! for you. Keep it up and go forward. You're on a roll now.

sassandgroove · Jul 27, 2005

Goon on ya'! You are braver than me. I haven't gotten the guts to buy Jenna's freelance book, (I have Outwitting writer's block, though.) I am writing a novel in half hour spurts before my day job and wondering how on earth I could ever write an article or get started. So GOOD FOR YOU! Keep up the good work!
