Why be a business writer? Profit. Why write at all? It's an art form unlike any other. This short guide explains all the reasons to break into the profitable business writing field, where you can easily double your income within years. It happens to many writers sick of rejection slips. It can happen for you.

What is business writer? First of all, it incorporates a large field of business, a huge, billion dollar market for entrepreneurs.  A copywriter is a business writer. A technical writer for corporations is a business writer, defining technology or other fields. Business writing incorporates the other side of writings' corporate side. Companies need a new sales writer, they go to business writers. Companies need a brand new brochure or need to rework some technical jargon ; they go to business writers.

1 - There is a need
First and foremost to being a business writer is one simple fact. Business writers are more in need than screenwriters or magazine writers, novelists or short story writers, playwrights or even journalists.  The entire world is built on business writing, namely because most companies will, at some point or another, need one.

2 - There is huge profit
Only screenwriters can, on average, make as much as successful business writers. For example, famous copywriter Robert Bly doesn't hide the fact he grosses $300,000 on bad years.  Yes, some screenwriters make more, as do novelists like J.K. Rowling and Stephen King.  However, average the working business writers' annual profits with the salaries of novelists, and the picture doesn't look so green.

3 - You can work from home
First, business writing is far from an easy enterprise to undertake, but it's one many workers take up at home. Saving money on gas is tiny compared to being able to work when you want, on what you want. You still need the discipline, but the joy is most of your work, if not all, can be done with a computer and a telephone.

4 - Freeing
Business writing isn't just profitable and a work from home opportunity, but freeing! Working from home and spending as much time with family aside, you can set your own goals and achieve them. With less pressure on you, and plenty of work, it's an art form unto itself.  You're making a career in writing, still supporting the family or paying the mortgage, and with the freedom to take a day off when you want. You can also always put in extra hours when needed.

5 - It surely can be fun
Art is usually fun to create. Getting assignments in the beginning stages as any kind of business writer isn't easy.  Yet when you start, for example, finding copywriting assignments that are higher pay than you've ever seen, it's fun. When you can spend more time with your other arts, like if you're a novelist on the side, you'll see that being an artist isn't being poor. Being an artist as a business writer opens all kinds of doors, and keeps your heat on.
