Exactly How Much I Earn As A Full-Time Writer.
Here’s how much I make and my sources of income.
I’ve been a full-time writer for 10 years now, and last year, I made 6 figures for the first time (read how here).
The reason it took me so long was that I made a lot of silly mistakes. For years, I only focused on one source of income. I set too small goals (because I thought I wasn’t ready to achieve bigger goals), and then I had my two babies, so I stopped working for a while.
The first year after I got back from motherhood, my mindset and goals shifted, and I managed to achieve what I used to think was impossible.
The 6-figure club.
Last year, I made most of my money from freelance writing and coaching — about $94K, to be exact.
My clients come either through Fiverr (where I’m among the top 1% of freelancers) or through personal referrals.
The rest of my money came from Medium.
This year, I’m shifting gears. I want to work with clients a bit less, and I want to earn more through Medium, books, and digital products.
Managing clients can be extremely difficult and time-consuming, which inspired me to make this decision.
