CONTENTS
EDITORIALA Very Useful (and profitable?) Article Apologies for the lateness of this issue. Life just seems to get busier! I've written a little article for you, it contains some of the most useful advice you will ever find - if that isn't boasting I don't know what is, but it's true (the usefulness not the boasting)! You can also earn money by posting the article to your own site or ezine (read my note just after the article). I'm testing Google Adsense (see Market Watch section), so I do apologize (again!) for this issue and perhaps the next - the ads are not under my control as of yet and, if inappropriate, will be stopped. NEW BOOKS I'm going to allow (subject to my discretion) WAPA subscribers to announce new products/services (writing-related of course) in the "Announcements & Requests" section. In fact, I've already started ;) CRITIQUE CONTEST #2 A big thank you to those who have submitted samples for the Critique Contest. One has been chosen! Keep 'em coming! ;) Enjoy the rest of this issue, To Your Online Writing Success! Darren Andrews, Editor.
FEATURED ARTICLEYour Total Online Writing Solution by Darren Andrews In this article I'm going to give you the hands-down simplest, quickest, most effective and inexpensive solution to establishing your own successful writing web site. Whether you are an author who wants to sell your books, or an editor who is sellign a service, or anything else writing-related - in fact I'm going to tell you how to be successful even if you don't have a product or service to sell! This is for everyone. I've been online since the late 90s and one of the first marketers I came across was a man named Ken Evoy (which I consistently misspelled 'Envoy' for a year or two!). Not only was he one of the first, he was and is also one of the best. And within the context of the solution to which this article addresses itself, Ken Evoy simply has the best answer for your needs. This is not hype. You just won't find a better way than what I suggest herein. Period. Let me explain. To have a successful web site you will need a number of things - Ken Evoy's solution provides them all, well all except one: your contribution (your content). What if you've got a site already? Doesn't matter, this solution can only add to any success you already have! Let me stress again: This is for everyone. You might want a site to display your poetry, to put up content about writing reports, or perhaps a fascination with western novels. Whatever your hobby, service or product this will benefit you - and it doesn't even matter if your business is local (you may own a bookshop) or global! This solution is called Site Build It! (SBI! for short). It's a product and service that will blow your mind! Let't take a look at those words I used to describe it at the beginning of this article: simplest & quickest SBI! allows you to build, market and maintain your site by using menus and buttons - you don't need to know HTML. You can spend your time writing content rather than worrying about the technical and marketing matters! Because SBI! has been put together by marketing and technical experts you don't have to spend your time learning how it all works - thus you can build a site quickly and get established online fast! most effective and inexpensive SBI! contains marketing features that are top-notch; you will gain powerful effects - again - without being an expert yourself. Just follow the instructions! SBI! may seem expensive (you pay a lump sum once per year) but it is not! Work it out and you'll see you'd be paying an awful lot more if you were paying for its features separately from other vendors. And I mean an *awful* lot more! And SBI! contains elements you won't find anywhere else too, so those cannot even be comparatively valued! So are you ready for a free intro? Check out this page: http://www.writers-and-publishers.com/wapa/ag.html Read it and download the "Make Your Content Presell" free ebook. This is part of the Action Guide which comes with SBI! when you buy it. It will give you a sense of what it is and how it works. See if it's for you - I think it will be! Now, in concluding, let me give you some more resources:
If you have a service or infoproduct then check out the
remarkable-quality free email courses by Ken Evoy at: Secondly, if you have any questions about SBI! then drop me an email: mailto:darren@writers-and-publishers.com and I'll try my best to answer your question. Now, go have a read about the unmatched SBI! at: http://www.freecoursescentral.com/sbi.html I personally highly recommend SBI! as the best solution to gaining an online presence and success.

WORDCRAFTInspiration, Tips and Exercises to Help You Write Well (+) Writers' Wisdom"If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." ~ Toni Morrison. Source: http://www.quotegarden.com/writing.html (+) Writing Tip Nouns with NO singulars Some nouns don't have a singular form (and this, too, is logical when you think about it - there is obviously a nano-second in time when you do, in fact, only have one MEASLE, but it doesn't take long before you're covered in MEASLES). People are generous by nature, since we never, ever give THANK for anything, but always give THANKS. Other nouns that fit into this classification are bellows, scissors, pliers, trousers, tweezers etc., (ever tried cutting something with a 'scissor'?) Contributor: Jennifer Stewart.

A cool breeze lightly brushed her cheek as they rode along.
In the distance gulls in graceful flight cried out their
lonesome call, and for a moment, she was lost in the
serenity of it all.
They made their way down the narrow, very rough roadway,
climbing with the switchbacks to a ridgetop that crested a
thousand feet above the sea. She was in awe of the great
expanse before her. It was rugged, windblown and fogdamp.
They rollarcoasted from timbered gulch to craggy headlands
and wheeled along the brink of knife-edged cliffs where
Pacific waves exploded with thunderous eruptions of surf
and spray. The truck jerked and swayed back and forth as
they made their way along the steep hill towards the ranch
house. She could barely see the rooftop of the house
nestled in a grove of trees to the right of the roadway.
Her mind wandered back to Bayberry where she grew up. Why
had things turned out so badly? She could still remember
the sorrow in her mother’s voice and the emptiness in her
father’s eyes.
THE PRIZE "Guerrilla Marketing for Writers: 100 Weapons for Selling Your Work" by Jay Conrad Levinson, Rick Frishman and Michael Larsen... The winner will receive a print copy delivered to their doorstep! This book has sold over 1 million copies and I have a copy myself!

(+) Google Adsense Google is a search engine and is now generally accepted as just about the best out there (knocking Overture off the number one position according to many Internet marketers). Now it's just launched a new program called Adsense. What is it? Well, basically you allow your site to display the AdWords (the green boxed ads to the right of the screen when you look at Google search results) of their advertisers and they'll pay you according to how many people click on those ads. Some believe this revenue model could be the beginning of the demise of affiliate programs! I don't know about that, but it is very simple to put in place and that will attract a lot of users. You join Google (free) and then just insert a piece of code into your site and you're done! They deal with everything else. I'm testing it in the WAPA. I hate unrelated ads, so this will be my bugbear. If it can be overcome then I might keep them and see how they perform! Find out more here: https://www.google.com/adsense/home If you've got a good traffic site this could be a way to start getting extra revenue in a matter of minutes!
