How to Start Making Money by Writing?

8 out of 10 people want to start a writing journey because the global pandemic has hit the world and destroyed many people’s financial life. I know it’s very hard to start writing articles and sustain your life with a writing career.

Do not make mistake to quit your routine job right now, because you have to pay off your bill from your paycheck, writing career takes a long time to go fly.

There is no magical stick to create your article and make it viral. You have to take baby steps towards your goal. Do not expect an overnight success formula. Everyone faces this period who starts a career as a writer.

Here, I want to give you a PRO TIP that will help you become a successful writer and also help you to pay your bills.

1. Baby Steps

Let me give you one example that can you relate to your life. Do you really know how you start walking? By taking baby steps, right? Exactly the same way you need to start taking baby steps to start your career as a writer.

You don't need to start writing an article and finish it in one sitting. Buy pen and paper or you can start writing online on the medium platform or start writing on any other platform like the medium.

Start with a few sentences, and try to write something that you can relate to your life easily. You just have to spend two minutes every day writing something. These two minutes will convert into a half hour, and a half an hour will convert into an hour.

2. Apply Do Not Break Chain Strategy

Do not break chain strategy means you don’t have to skip even a single day. If you do not feel okay to start writing still take your pen and paper or start your computer to write something. Keep in mind that you have to spend only two minutes every day to start writing. If you do not feel okay, then write your thoughts for only 2 minutes, but never take a break, not even a single day.

Also, you do not need to show your thoughts or writing to someone, so don’t worry about your grammatical errors or spelling mistakes, or anything else.

PRO TIP: Read a lot and write only a few lines.

3. Read more and write less

This is a wonderful method to improve your writing. I explained to you a while ago how to start writing. Now, this is a pro tip that helps you to improve your writing.

Read as much as you can throughout the day, and stop wasting your time on social media, YouTube, or anything else. Instead, invest your time to read something. I recommend you to start reading comical books to develop your interest in reading. Then after, write your own something that you read from the books.

Once you develop your interest in reading, then you can read online posts, or any other content creator, to expand your knowledge toward your writing career. You can read an article on the medium and learn from the writing community.

When you start making your article by publishing to Medium or you can create your personal blog to start making money, you can post your article on various social platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn to get a larger audience.

I spend my spare time reading books, sometimes I watch YouTube videos but most of my spare time I spend reading books (+ Ebooks). This habit helps me a lot in my writing career.
