So you want to be a writer? And you want to be paid for your work. This means writing a best selling novel, maybe a screen play, perhaps a series for prime time television. Isn’t that how you make your living as a writer? The answer to those questions is definitely ‘NO’. There are many other ways to make very good money from your writing skills which take far less time than any of those genres mentioned earlier and which can also be very much more profitable. We’re talking today og a writing genre commonly called ‘filler writing’.

Fillers are short manuscripts that can be written in minutes and churned out in very high volume and they are sometimes referred to as ‘paragraphs’.

Though we shall refer here to most short written pieces as fillers, it should be mentioned that the term has several different meanings. Sometimes it includes readers’ letters, sometimes not, and many publications keep their filler sections separate from that featuring paid letters from readers. Among the many categories of writing traditionally termed ‘fillers’ one finds anecdotes, recipes, poems, odd things children say, press errors, and many more.

It really doesn’t matter what you call it, the fact remains that concentrating on these shorter pieces can be extremely profitable, and markets are plentiful.

I’m sure the person does not exist who can not grow a useful first or second income from writing fillers and readers’ letters. And there’s also no shortage of Internet and offline publications desperate to add new and talented filler writers to their books.

Of course you’re probably wondering why publications require fillers and what makes them keen to attract more talented writers to their filler writing team.

The reasons are numerous and include:

* To fill space where a feature falls short of the published page (the traditional meaning of the term ‘filler’).

* To lighten otherwise dull text and to add interest to the pages of sometimes staid publications, for instance medical journals and import/export bulletins.

* Some short pieces, notably crossword puzzles and brain teasers, arguably lead the purchaser to retain a publication longer, until he has time to do the puzzle. This increases potential circulation for publisher and advertisers.

* People, allegedly, have less time to concentrate on reading longer features.

* Life today is fast. People want to learn as much as they can, quickly and easily. And as cheaply as possible. And fillers fit the bill exactly.

There you have it, lots of reasons publishers want to pay you for short written pieces and probably no good reason why you should not get started as a published freelance writer, starting today. Go on, get on with it, you won’t be sorry you did!

Why not become a filler writer today, why not help yourself to payments of just a few dollars or many hundreds of dollars paid for any of dozens of filler types used in most newspapers and magazines today?
