Illuminating How We Can Earn More from Our Writing (Month After Month)
Writing, writing, writing. Earnings, earnings, and more earnings.
There are many reasons why we write.
Some of us write because we love it.
Others write because it provides some form of emotional relief.
And definitely, some write for the money. There is nothing wrong with that. We have goals. And an aspect of our life goals has to be monetary.

10% x 0 = 0.
We have to get back to the basics. We have to start thinking. How can we shore up our writing base and bring it as high as possible?
