The more I journey around the Internet, getting to know other writers, and reading posts on social network services like Twitter, the more I see links for sales landing pages. These are sites that usually have just one page calling you into action to buy a product or service. I’m amazed at the number of people selling programs that will help freelance writers make a gazillion dollars.

My focus is not the freelance market, but I almost feel left out of the loop. Is there that much money to be made as a freelance copywriter?

So here’s my point; I hear that literary markets are saturated and no one is making any money, but freelance markets are making six figures a year.

The question is, should I have a sales page for my stories and books? Is that type of marketing better than the traditional distribution system of putting a book on the shelf (which is a topic I want to discuss later)? I’m serious, maybe I’ve been doing it all wrong. Maybe all authors have been doing it all wrong. Hell, I’ll take a six figure income over a few thousand any day. If the sales page marketing solution works, we should all embrace it.

What do you think? What methods do you use to sell your prose?
