Undoubtedly your passion for writing and your mental predilection play a predominant role in submitting your article in a specific web site. But you earn only a meager income from your articles, depending upon the content and style of your article; of course the content of your article is the key.

Now the moot question is: How long will you be earning in peanuts? When are you going to be rewarded to your real potential?

Therefore, the surest way of earning more and to have a steady income is to submit your articles to print magazines and getting them published. However, you cannot achieve it easily. Before proceeding to submit any article to a print magazine, you have to focus upon a particular niche; make a thorough study of writing markets for your niche; choose a topic or subject for your article according to the requirements and guidelines of the magazine in which you have proposed to submit your article; then embark upon a thorough study and research before writing your article; having gathered the requisite materials, proceed to write an article rather tightly in a typical style; then write a killer query to the editor of the magazine you wish to submit your article. If your query is rejected, then search for other avenues. If your query is accepted, then duly submit the article in the proper format as required by the guidelines of the magazine.

When you consider all the above aspects in their totality, submitting an article to a print or on line magazine is entirely a different venture; actually you are entering into a different and higher plane of your writing career. You require very sharp and proven writing skills to fulfill the requirements of the magazine and to convince the editor of the magazine as well.

To have all those requirements fulfilled, you must have two basic things: motivation and inspiration.

Being passionate will not do to motivate or inspire you to break into print or on line magazines. In fact some extraneous factors are actually behind it.

For example, Cheryl Wright an established and successful writer in a number of print and on line magazines has got her own story. Previously she was actually in a day job. But, unfortunately, her health condition deteriorated due to her lung ailment and doctors strongly advised her to give up her day job. Thus Cheryl had to quit her day job due to her health condition. Having lost her job, Cheryl had additional economic pressure in her family. In the result, Cheryl in her struggle for existence, embarked upon into a home based business of writing articles for print as well as on line magazines. Thus a combination of factors like lung ailment and her inability to go for a day job, forced her to encounter additional economic burden; it strongly motivated and inspired her to break into print and on line magazines to eke out her livelihood. Within a short span of time, Cheryl was able to establish as a writer for magazines and got bailed out from her economic woes.

Thus apart from being passionate, a writer needs motivation and inspiration to successfully break into magazines that helps him to remain focused on his task.However, according to the circumstances of each individual,these twin factors may arise from a different context. But, ultimately, they are the vital keys that may unlock the door of the treasure trove  for you for breaking into print or on line magazines.
