Writing is therapy. That should be enough. That should be the major reason to write. Because it’s your passion. But this doesn’t mean you can’t make a living out of it. There is nothing more rewarding than to do something you love and get paid for doing that. Working on something you love. Not everyone has that chance.

Passion can get you far and beyond your dreams. But to succeed and live from your dream, you need to work hard. Easy recognition doesn’t exist in this industry. And luck only happens to lucky people.

If you want to live from your passion, you need to take it seriously. Enjoy it, yes. But don’t think just because you love writing it will be an easy ride. Like an athlete, you need to train, make sacrifices, know your competitors, and visualize the race.

The blogging (and writing) industry has never been more saturated. And like in any saturated market, competition is harsh. If you want to get your piece of the cake, you need to be relevant, relatable, and stand out from the crowd.
