If you like to write, and are looking for a fascinating and high-paying new career, then look no further than the catalog writing industry.
In fact, there are three powerful reasons why everyone who has any interest in writing should consider this booming new field:
1. Satisfying.
There are few jobs more satisfying than coming to work each day and learning and writing about exotic and fascinating new products you will never see in stores.
If you choose to find a job at a catalog company, you will find the time flying by each day. If you are a freelancer, you can set your own hours and make a very comfortable living writing about interesting products just a few hours a week.
2. Easy entry.
One of the best things about catalog writing is there is a very small learning curve.
It's so small you do not need to take any special classes in college or go to night school for four years to learn it. In fact, there are dozens of simple (and inexpensive) courses you can take right on the Internet. You can even self teach yourself by ordering catalogs and then studying the copy inside them.
3. Immune to recessions.
If you can write simple, descriptive catalog blocks, you will likely never lack for work in the booming catalog industry.
Right now there are approximately 11,000 consumer catalog titles and 6,000 business-to-business catalog titles going out each year -- with many more on the way.
In fact, the catalog industry is growing so fast that, by the year 2010, it is projected to go from the $145 billion per year industry it is today to as high as $200 billion. This industry is still in its infancy -- and will keep growing for years to come. And with that growth, there will always be a high demand for catalog writers.
To sum up:
If you like to write and want a fun, safe and almost completely "recession proof" career, consider catalog writing.
Not only is it relatively easy to learn and break into, but it is one of the most financially and creatively rewarding jobs you can find.
