How much earn publicists in the world

All the magazines that go to the West, along with the terms "free publicist" are divided into 3 categories - low-paying (paying up to $ 150 per article), middle-paying (from $ 150 up to $ 500 per article) and finally , high-paying markets (pay $ 500 until $ 12,000 per article). Of course, not be counted immediately get into those magazines, which pay thousands of dollars - and then print the creators of the level of Victoria Tokareva or Sergei Dovlatov writing in addition to the bright English. Likely to take place in accordance with the smaller least 5 years previously than you can watch your article on the pages of "Reader's Digest" or "New-Yorker". Initially you will probably have to focus on journals in the category low-paying and purchase fees of 50 until $ 100. Then (only if you are lucky - in this case together from the beginning) you will begin to work together with middle-paying magazines as well as earning from $ 150 up to $ 300 per each sold article. But then ... it's a poor fighter, Coy is not dreaming to start general.

OK - you say - "One hundred, two hundred bucks for the article - it's not bad. But how many articles are allowed to sell in a year?" It depends primarily on how well and how fast you write. I know people who are earning a living (which is in accordance with the U.S. means more than a small measure of 40-50 thousand dollars a year), only the publication of articles. It certainly is, is a professional, working day and the deep is not the main year. But as well as teeth on a hand fan, writing in his spare time, it is likely but without great difficulty to secure a significant perk. Not overly straining, selling all just under one article in the moon, but are allowed to easily earn $ 1000-1500 per year. Also appended a separate effort - as well as $ 3000 and $ 4000, but also a little more. Agree, the extra 300-350 dollars a moon will be a worthy supplement to your salary.
Once we, together with Mashkov PFEIFER ...

Dollar fees - the key, but not the only pleasant aspect of the profession "free the publicist." Plus this extra classes - an opportunity to get acquainted with people who are usually watching it really what exactly on TV. Words: "Hello, I am preparing an article for the magazine ...", - can open a majority of the doors. Of course, people who raised the interest of journalists still pretty fed up with it - "top stars" like Bill Gates or Michael Jackson - are likely to remain inaccessible to you. But celebrity is easier - the star of the second magnitude "- often very sympathetic to the attention of the press.

What makes acquaintance with such people? Firstly, it's just nice and communicate with them is usually very entertaining, in a second, quite willing to buy magazines articles, together with the information "first hand" about famous people, and, finally, thirdly, such people themselves often (intentionally or unintentionally) takes you to some so-interesting topic. In addition, the star of the second magnitude "sometimes break out, turning into" superstars "- and while the journalists, which have brought with them knowledge of the past, find themselves in a hell of a winning position. However, important - familiarity with famous people and writing articles about them is a kind of vicious circle: every article strengthens as though your relationship with the hero of the article, so as well as your prestige of the journalist, but as no less an authoritative journalist you able with greater ease to get acquainted with other famous people as well as write articles about them, with each subsequent article ...

To be a FREESTYLE PRESSMAN how much to earn

Want - expect, want to - certainly not, but according to my firm conviction, to earn "free-style pressman" is probably almost any intelligent individual. That now, with hardly believe it? See for yourself! Minimum requirements applicable to "free the journalist" are as follows:

1.
Good possession of their native language, the ability to write coherent and best lyrics.
2.
A profession or hobby of interest for many people - in other words, most people have a right or share your interests, or to possess the same profession, as well as what you or be interested in the services of people of your profession.
3.
Provided that if you plan to work together with the English press - good possession of the English (or German, French or Spanish) language, or at the end of the unfit, the ability to pronounce English text (though even with the dictionary), plus familiarity with a good interpreter, together with Russian English.

If you meet these three requirements, there is good about your ability to succeed as a "free the journalist." The first and the 3 point, I think, understandable and thus also here about the second is something that is clear. Here there is a 2-wa important points.

Firstly, your district specialization is truly about that now is not important: what would you do, whatever addicted (Chemistry, postage stamps, the history of the Beatles, dance, radio, theatrical fencing, breeding exotic cats as well as etc.), about certain Western countries, there are exactly on a smaller least 30-40 thousands of individuals who are interested in the same - and for them out magazines on the subject.

The second thing is that you are now totally did not deserve to be high-level professionals in the area on which you intend to write. If you need information for articles which you did not have, you can simply take an interview about expert possessing the necessary degree of professionalism (proudly just order you to be able to competently and without silly mistakes to ask him a question but it seems to comprehend the answer as well as outline its essence for the sake of the readers a simple and accessible language). In short, intelligent individual with varied interests (what I hope is you, dear reader) is likely to succeed in the field of "free journalism."
What are the prospects "FREESTYLE PRESSMAN?

Knight of the pen

Hearing the words "journalist", most people imagine, Coy graduated from the journalism and Philology, which operates in the state, so the newspaper or TV-station and prepare the materials on issues of the day, interviewing some politicians as well as singers, talks about the incident for week as well, etc. Well now imagine a human being, a proper journalism or in life is not studying, he works a barber, a trainer in accordance with aerobics, cardio or a programmer (but in this case as well as anywhere else does not work), about him like a hobby - Growing cacti restoration of ancient automobiles, ice fishing, or chronicle of ancient Greece - but in his spare time he writes articles on topics of interest to him, and also sells the articles in different magazines. It will also be a "free the journalist."

For ex-USSR sort individual may look unusual, but in the West, such kind of journalism is very popular and from 50 until 90 percent of the content of many magazines (including those known as "Playboy", "Cosmopolitan" or "National Geographic") supply so "free journalists." Given in this case that it is only in the U.S. today makes a lot of 13.000 newspapers and magazines, you can estimate the approximate number of "free journalists' moonlighting (or, less frequently, making a living) writing and selling articles.
How do I start ...

A few years back I began writing articles - just that way, to my own pleasure. I really did not plan to make in such a way so as worked as a programmer and did not experience a lack of money. A couple of articles I published in the Russian edition, but since that time I talked a lot with the Americans, I wanted to print some of their own articles in an American magazine. After a couple of unsuccessful attempts, I asked the independent board about her boyfriend-American, which, as I knew, often published in this journal. It is quite more specifically explained to me that it ought to act, has helped me to prepare a message to the editor ...

Some time later I received a reply from the editor. "We are interested in your article" - wrote one - and we are all ready to put it in the next issue of our magazine. All we can offer you $ 120 for your article. " WHAT? One hundred and twenty dollars? " I do not think it is I get paid ... Should I mention what I agreed to order the editor? More than that, I liked the very option: to acquire denyuzhku for an article, which I and so I write for my own pleasure. I tried to learn more about how to succeed as if "free journalist" - and began to strike sharply articles for sale, published in Western journals, purchase dollar fees. Also, although I'm still not consider myself a "pro" for excellent "player's amateur league," according to my opinion, I am quite pull.
