Writing Steps After Making FIRST $1 Through Online Writing
The art of storytelling will make a difference in the content
Have you made your first dollar through online writing and wondering about the next steps?
Then, this content is for you.
Last week, I earned my first $1 through a free ebook. I plan to take the below steps to enrich my writing quality.
It might help you.
Let’s dive in.
Create a detailed ebook
My last free ebook was a 9-page infographic. I intended to keep it short so that readers can get maximum information in less time.
Currently, I am working on creating a detailed ebook. I will acquire knowledge on different aspects of writing.
- How to find your niche topic
- How to generate writing ideas
- How to create an article structure, introduction, and summary
- How to take notes
- How to create a newsletter landing page
- How to write a catchy headline
- Art of storytelling
After writing for 18 months, I realized these areas need more upskilling to write for my entire life.
Whatever product made you the first dollar, get more knowledge around those topics and implement them in your writing journey.
Document your experiences in the detailed version of the ebook.
Learn the art of storytelling
You try to teach a toddler. He will not like the dry facts. But when you say the same content with beautiful stories, he will develop an interest in learning.
The same logic goes with adults.
Emotional intelligence
Storytelling evokes empathy to convey thoughts, feelings, and perspectives. It helps you develop a deeper understanding of human experiences and a bond with the readers.
Persuasive Communication
Stories can make complex ideas simple and memorable. Storytelling helps to craft a narrative around your product that resonates with your audiences. They receive your message more profoundly and eventually buy your product.
Creativity and imagination
Storytelling allows you to think outside the box by being imaginative. It gives you new ideas and perspectives to engage with your audience.
Learn about landing page
A landing page is the first platform to interact with your audience before you get their email ID.
However, it is more than the subscription form.
- It helps to describe your product
- You can create a story around it
- You can use any content
I would start learning about these topics.
- the design
- placing the CTA
- content of the landing page
Learn to write a catchy headline
The headline is the doorway to your content. It should display the solution to any problem to help readers stop and click on your article.
The headline should be catchy, also. Readers would not like to read a boring headline.
Below are the few parameters of a good headline.
- Word balance — The count of common, uncommon, powerful, and emotional words in the headline
- Sentiment — What is the feeling of the headline?
- Clarity — Does the headline convey the content idea clearly and in simple words?
- Keywords — Adding relevant keywords in the headline to boost the ranking in search engines.
Share the knowledge for free
Everybody loves free products. During my childhood, I always wanted to purchase an item with a gift on its wrapper.
The next question — How will you do business if you give everything for free?
In the initial phase of any business, it’s about creating a relationship and bond. The audience should trust you so much that for any problem, they would want to refer to your content. Giving away your products for free will help you achieve this.
When you have grown your email list, you can charge a small amount for your product.
Charge a high amount and sell if it becomes popular.
So, I plan to create a detailed ebook and share it for free.
