How To Become A Full – Time Writer (and earn money)

Are you a writer who’s dreamt of writing for a living? What if I told you that’s possible!

Here are the steps you can follow to make your writer dreams possible:

#1: Start A Website

Creating a website is the first thing to start with. I would like to recommend using WordPress or any of your liking. Once you get your website up and running, add your pages, such as; about page, books, courses, shop, and free downloads. So many people today can make tons of money from the comfort of your home online, it’s amazing!

Everyone’s life is different, whatever your life circumstances are, you can make the time to work on your website because it’s important to you and your dream of being a writer.

#2: Write Your Books Every Day

Writing is a labor love, especially for storytellers who feel like writing stories is always fun but not work. Write your book everyday, no matter what your life situation may be. Did you know that David Baldaaci isn’t just an author, but a lawyer too? With a full time job, he would be up at two a.m. in the morning writing his book, which he eventually published. If he can make the time to write his book, so can you.

It’s not about time management, it’s making the time to do something you know makes you happy, and fulfilled.

#3: Create Exclusive Paid Content

Creating paid content I feel is the fun part, here are some ideas you can consider to make money:

• Courses
• Workbooks

#4: Start A Online Store

The best money you can make is from an online store. Whether it’s on Etsy, Shopify, or any other online store platform of your choosing. This is the fastest way to make money, it’s easy to do, but there’s definitely work involved.

Here are some product ideas you can sell:
