Monetizing your writing

Thread 🧵

Most of us would write for free, play football with friends for free, sing for free and we’d be okay because we love it...but imagine getting paid for doing it, the money hits different because it’s earned from a place of love. 🤑

Here we go...

If you have a blog and have been consistently putting out content, then you have an audience that may be interested in a writing or a non-writing related product.

All you need is to work with an affordable range of prices that clients can subscribe to and share their products.

Writing a book is another way to make money from your writing. And what makes this option amazing is it isn’t limited to physical books - you can write and sell an ebook.

The cost of production for an ebook is significantly lesser than what it’ll require to publish a paperback.

You could also become a scriptwriter and earn from writing for TV shows, features, documentaries, reality and game shows etc.,

This can be a really good stream of income as the entertainment industry is forever in demand of creatives.

There are also many other content writing opportunities like copywriting; learning to write for adverts and marketing purposes. Feature writing in columns, tech writing, reviews on products etc - you can always put your writing skills into more use. It’s not restricted to fiction

Finally, you can also monetize your writing is by sharing your knowledge - teaching scriptwriting or any other writing class can be an added source of income to a writer, but to do this, it’s important that you have the willingness and patience needed for teaching. 👩‍🏫

Thank you all for joining me today.

All the best with earning from your writing and please #StayAtHome
