I wrote for 5+ years while I had a 9–5 job.

For most of that time, I made $0. But now, I make $16-$18k (AUD) per month reading, writing, and traveling the world.

Here’s how I did it.

Start extremely small

I made $1.42 in my first month of writing.

The money wasn’t worth much.

But I felt like I had just made $1 million.

I thought to myself…

If I could make $1, I could make $10.

And if I could make $10, I could make $100 or $1,000.

What’s stopping me from making $10,000 per month?

Answer: Nothing but time and effort.

Making my first $1 online completely reprogrammed my brain.

I broke my own limiting beliefs about making money online.

If you want to build your online writing empire, start with making your first $1.

Watch your brain rewire itself.

I applied this brainwashing to developing a writing habit. I started writing 10–15 minutes per day.
