💸 The 5 Revenue Streams Every Writer Should Build For Themselves 💸
Today I have ~9 different revenue streams for myself, but these 5 are the big ones that have fueled my career for the past 5 years (and allowed me to quit my 9-5 & go all-in on writing) 👇🧵

1/ Writing as a service
This is without question the easiest revenue stream to build, and where most writers start.
The first big jump in my income as a writer came from ghostwriting. Once you learn how to provide writing as a service (and get paid $$), you're off to the races

2/ Write books/guides/etc.
My 2nd paid product online was a $30 "How To Become A Top Writer On Quora" course. My 1st was a eBook series called "Skinny to Shredded."
Create assets that can be sold infinitely at scale. Small numbers ($$$) add up over time.

3/ Teach/train other writers
Once you learn how to successfully execute any aspect of writing and publishing, you now have a skill worth ($$) sharing.
You can work 1:1 w/ people and charge per hour. Work 1:X and charge per group. Or train entire teams/companies.

4/ Leverage your writing talents to build a business
I turned my skills ghostwriting into a ghostwriting agency. Other writers use their talents to build product companies w/ all-star content marketing or sales materials.
Writing becomes your "unfair advantage."

5/ Consult/advise companies on their writing
And finally, once you've "proven" yourself as a writer, it's very easy to lend out your domain expertise to others.
You can consult startups on their messaging. You can consult big companies on writing & distribution. Etc.
