I No Longer Struggle To Earn $$$$ Online After Making These Changes
What you need to know about monetizing your online writing skills.
“I’ll never make money from my writing. It’s just a hobby. I do it because I love it.”
This is what I told myself all my life before 2020.
Making money as a writer was a mystery I couldn’t solve no matter how hard I tried. I wrote for online short story competitions, I took up freelance clients, I participated in shady anthologies — all in the hopes of making my first dollar.
I did succeed, but the ROI was so bad, there was no motivation for me to continue. I’d spend hours writing an article or a story, and I’d make peanuts from it.
This all changed during the pandemic, when, for the first time in my life, I had time to devote to my craft. Working from home freed up hours in my day I didn’t believe was possible. I dedicated those hours to understanding how the online writing game works.
In those days, I made a goal of making $50 every month from writing online. Within a year, I was making more than $1500 a month from online writing, and I’d just started.
So what changed?
