I started 2024 with 4134 followers. I was making $700/month writing.

I’ll end 2024 with 18,000+ followers. I now make $3500/month.

It’s been quite a year.

People think they need a secret code to unlock their writing dream. But all it takes is 12 months of hard work. Using the right strategy. The brutal truth is there’s no overnight growth. But the way to success is not complicated. It involves 3 simple steps.

Follow these 3 for 12 months. And you’ll be astonished at how close you get to your writing dream.

If you want people to see what you’re offering. Set up your stand where there’s a passing trade. Pick a social platform with readers. Don’t dance between platforms. That’s dilutes…
