April, 2008, From Nazvi
Careem (journalist and writing coach)
Dear Writers
Here
is something you should know about many journalists.
They try to keep their art a secret.
They think
only a select few should know.
They know that news writing is soooo
easy, they are scared you might want to muscle in on their $60 billion industry.
But the
truth remains ... any of
you can be journalists. If you know the language,
you can write news. In fact, you can write news, news-features,
features, blogs, SEO articles and anything else the media has to offer
... and pay for.
You know
there are thousands of newspapers, magazines and websites out there.
You know they hire both full-time staff writers and freelancers. But
did you know that some freelancers
earn up to $10,000 or more every month?
Newspapers
pay anywhere between 10 cents to $1 a word. Magazines, which use mainly
freelancers, are known to pay
up to $6,000 for a 2,000-word article. You, too, can earn
a piece of the action. What’s
the catch? The catch is you.
You CAN
do it!
You think
you are so poor with words that you can’t string a sentence
together.
You read or
listen to news reports and you feel you can never match those writers.
Even
budding journalists, you think you’re writing has stagnated
and you’ll never improve.
I know the feeling. When I started my journalism career, I thought it would take me months
to master the art of writing, if ever. I struggled in my
first weeks. Thankfully, I had a boss who cared about my future.
Within
three weeks, I was submitting two to three stories a day. If required, I could write 20 articles a day
using this system. Once the principles are ingrained in
your head, it's just a matter of practice to perfect your writing.
The
principles I learned are what separate journalists from other writers.
Now, you can learn these methods and start your own journalism career.
The best part of it is that the principles are not restricted to
journalism.
You can
effectively apply these concepts to other forms of writing, whether
it's SEO web content,
newsletters, press releases or submissions to article directories.
You can
also control your own career. That's what I do. One month, I made more than
$10,000, the next month, $1,000. Why? Because I didn't
feel like working for one month. And living in Malaysia, with an
amazingly low cost of living, I can do that.
You
can live a freelance life too.
In this
97-page ebook, "Great
Copy, On Time, Every Time - Secrets to How Top Pros Write News, in 6
easy steps", I will take
you by the hand and provide step-by-step guidance on how
you can write news.
This is a failsafe writing system.
Stick to it and you'll never go wrong.

What Some
Editors and Courses Don’t Teach You
This
ebook is the result of a course I ran while working with young
journalists in 2003. I was working as a copy editor in a newspaper and
I would often hear an editor complain about the poor standard
of writing by our team of largely young reporters.
I decided
to find out why and would eavesdrop on conversations between the
editors and cadets when they discussed assignments. I was shocked at
what I heard. My alarm wasn't at what the editors were telling these
youngsters but what they
WERE NOT telling them.
These
poor youngsters were simply being confused by editors who knew if they
taught too much, those budding journalists would soon be as good as
them!
I
went above their heads and organised a one-day session for these
youngsters on how to write a simple news story ... something so basic
yet seriously lacking in their development at the time.
I
whipped together some material and by the end of the day, their eyes
lit up. One reporter said: "I've
been here for one year and I was never taught this stuff. I didn't
realise just how simple journalism writing can be."
Needless
to say, the editors weren't happy and a few weeks later, I was on my
way.
The sad
reality is that hundreds of budding journos all over face the
same problems.
The
bread and butter of a journalist's or writer's craft is his or her
writing. It shouldn't fail you when you need it most.
The
writing should come naturally so a journalist can focus on the
challenges that truly make the profession rewarding - interviewing
people, cultivating contacts, getting to the bottom of a story - all
the major elements that help you inform educate and entertain your
readers.
Now,
you can have
the tools to make your news writing shine, every time and
on time with this easy 6-step program.
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM
OTHER COURSES?
Unlike other courses, we
will not go near the "inverted pyramid" concept.
The "inverted-pyramid", taught mostly in universities, obviously works
because there are many journalists and writers out there who use it.
But there are probably many more who don’t.
I have been writing for two
decades. I currently freelance for London-based Reuters,
having previously done work as a freelancer for the Associated Press
and Agence France-Presse. My clients include South China Morning Post
in Hong Kong and Asian Golf Monthly magazine, based in Singapore.
In addition, I write articles, press releases and do other forms of
writing for clients and publications in UK, US, Middle East, New
Zealand and Asia. I have worked with and against some top writers from
around the world. And guess what?
... Not once have I come
across the inverted pyramid system in the work-place!
What I have is much, much better. Now you also have a chance to learn
these guidelines in a quick and easy manner and turn your natural
language skills into solid journalism writing. You won’t find this
method in many places.
And for those whose professors or bosses insist on your using the
inverted pyramid, don't worry. They won't notice. They'll probably
learn from you.
You may ask the question: do
journalists write differently from others? Yes, they
certainly do. They are trained to get the information out in a manner
that is generally alien to how others write. They are trained to write NEWS.
This short course is not taught by journalism degree courses or other
“how to write” websites.
In fact, I recently saw a job vacancy for a Journalism Lecturer at a
British university and one requirement read: "Experience as a
journalist a plus". A PLUS!!?? Surely, that should be the
main qualification, not research experience.
You’ll
only find variations of this program taught at the world’s
best newspapers or wire services.
The program offers a format-based
style of writing that works every time. Whether you are a
rookie or a practicing journalist, you can learn to write quality articles in under
30 minutes with this easy 6-step course.
THIS
COURSE ALLOWS JOURNALISTS TO:
- Develop the skills you
already have to write all types of genres – news, news
features, features, opinion, improving your writing and
enhancing job prospects
- Format
your writing so that deadlines or writer’s block are never a
problem and editors can rely on you
- Sharpen
up your angles and writing skills so that your work is in demand
FOR
NON-JOURNALISTS, YOU CAN:
- Learn how to write
like the top journalists in a matter of days -- and launch a lucrative
freelance career
- Expand
your career prospects, either as a full-time journalist or freelancer
and earn a good side income

the skills to pursue a side-career in journalism

press releases for public relations events that editors will read,
enhancing your income potential through the public relations route.
- Boost
your overall understanding of how journalism works
- Open
up a whole new world of writing opportunities offline and online
- Start
your own news outlet, either online or offline
FOR BLOGGERS:
- Make
your posts stand out by incorporating news-writing elements that grab
your readers and hold on to them
- Earn
more money with sharper stories that others would love to link to
- Spend
less time writing with a formula that guarantees quality
FOR BULK
ARTICLE WRITERS:

systematic way of churning out article after article in minutes at a
time, using just one piece of information for each article
- Use
this tested formula to not just bash out articles, but STORIES, using
sharp angles that draw in your readers

your website by filling it with readable, genuine articles instead of
meaningless copy filled with random keywords and keyphrases.
****************
We will show you a system that allows you to
write clear, concise
copy every time, no matter how tired or emotional you are
at the time.
The fact is, ANYONE can write.
Both cub reporters and senior journalists appreciate this program. The
more humble of the veteran hacks realize they need a good re-cranking
after years on the job.
The concepts in this course come from what I’ve learned on
the job meshed together with some of my own ideas.
The result is a 97-page ebook called “Great
Copy, On Time, Every Time - SECRETS to how Top Pros Write News, in 6
easy steps”.
IN
THIS eBOOK YOU WILL LEARN:
- An
amazingly simple writing formula that many news writers don't even know
about,
- How
to tinker with information and quotes to get the best possible NEWS
angle.
- The
importance of the intro and how to write them.
- How
to get the best out of your quotes
- How
to draw in your readers and keep them there.
- How
to structure all your information into a formulated four-layered story
that works EVERY TIME.
- How
this formula can be used for all types of stories – news,
news features, features, opinion, web content, newsletters etc, and all
types of fields – general news, business, sports etc.
This
is ideal for budding reporters, experienced writers, bulk writers or
just those who fancy contributing to newspapers, magazines or websites.

"
I have been looking around for a book on writing from a journalist's
perspective for ages. I was giving up hope when I came across this book.
After downloading it, I can honestly say it was worth every dollar I spent!
The ideas and concepts in the book are excellent and they are easy for anyone who is a novice to be able to apply.
If you are looking for a way to write like a journalist, I highly recommend these books to you."
Paul Puckridge, www.success.com.au
**********************************************************

“I
discovered I required to learn quickly a different way of writing when
I entered the realm of press release advertising and sharing my and
other work publicly. After a search on the net I found Nazvi's book,
and then overnight I learnt a straight forward mechanical understanding
of how journalists assemble words. How to write like a journalist is a
valuable part of my working library and has helped me to penetrate what
seemed a daunting realm. I'm the sort of practical person who
appreciates the mechanical structure of things, and you nailed it for
me.”
Peter Mitchell, Australia, www.limitlesssmile.com
***********************************************************
"This
book was a great help. I was at the stage where I wanted to get into
newspaper writing and it was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted
ideas and I didn't have proper journalism schooling and this book
fitted the bill."
Dean H. Williams, Canada
***********************************************************
"This
course is a great tool for both journalists and beginnerrs. I was a
complete novice when I started but in a short time I was able to write
like a journalist. It's a great system to fall back on."
Luke Pachymuthu, energy writer
for major wire service
***********************************************************
"This is
a great refresher. For anyone who wants a career as a writer, this is a
must read. Even for experienced journalists, it's very easy to stray
from the basics. This book brings it all back."
Chris Lakey, Eastern Daily
Press, Norwich, England
***********************************************************
"I've
certainly learned a few things here. An enjoyable read. Chock full of
writing gems and tips. This book will serve as a good refresher for the
seasoned journalist and a useful learning tool for the rookie
to hit the ground running the day he or she joins the newsroom."
Gerard Wong, Communications
Manager, Singapore

"Excellent
material. Highly recommend you buy."

"Better
than an $80 text book."
Stephen Fancey, Canada
***********************************************************
This
course will give you the tools to ensure that your articles will read
the way editors want them to read. Editors
hate re-writing. If you’re first paragraph
doesn’t interest them, your article will be quickly binned.
Once
your writing is disliked by an editor, there is little chance he or she
would ever look at your copy again.
NOTE:
We are not going to
guarantee that everything you write is going to be published.
Even the most experienced and best journalists cannot guarantee that.
What
we can guarantee is that, after this course, you will be armed with the
writing skills needed to convince editors that
you’ve got what it takes.
At
the end of the day, an
article gets published because of the strength of the story it tells.
We can give you the skills to use the words you already know to
strengthen your story and structure your article in a professional
manner.
EVEN
IF YOU’RE AN EXPERIENCED WRITER
Here’s
a stunning revelation – many
journalists around the world today do not even know this system!!!
They may write well, they may get good stories but writing, to them,
doesn't always come easy.
This
system is a tested
formula that allows you to write your article in 15-30
minutes, once you have all the facts that you need to make
your story complete.
The
reason many writers don’t know this formula is because the
majority of news outlets don’t teach it. They rely on editors
to groom cub reporters in their own styles.
Nothing
wrong with that, I say. After all, it is how I initially started. But this system
allows anyone to come in from the cold and write like a journalist
within a few days.
DON'T
WAIT TO GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH
Students
spend up to $2,000 or
more on writing courses at universities and private
institutions. We are offering these 97 pages to get your writing career
off the ground for only $27.00.
Clearly, $27.00 is a great
price for 20 years worth of top experience. After all, it will get you writing faster
than a three-year degree programme worth thousands of
dollars.
And guess what? More and more new and seasoned journalists are learning this system every day and entering the job a freelance market. Don't get left behind!
And that’s not all.
