Imagine making a few hundred bucks with a click of a button… Would you be interested in doing that? Of course, you would. Why do I bring it up? Becuase I’ve done it. More than once. After writing for a few years, I’m finally making (what I consider) a good income with writing. You can […]
“If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.” – Mark Twain Can I tell you the truth? Most advice about writing is b.s. You’re not going to make “six figures in six weeks.” Ain’t gonna happen. Anyone promising to make you wealthy overnight is pulling the wool over your eyes. You can, […]
“If you find yourself asking yourself (and your friends), “Am I really a writer? Am I really an artist?” chances are you are. The counterfeit innovator is wildly self-confident. The real one is scared to death.” – Steven Pressfield I know what you’re thinking. You write, but you don’t think you’re a real writer. The […]
I eat people’s brains… I love to crack open their skulls and peek into the inner workings of their mind. Metaphorically, of course. Reading feeds your brain, fosters creativity, and makes you a better writer. “To be a great writer, you need to be a great reader.” – Thousands of writers. Today I wanted to […]
Everybody wants to start a blog and be an online writer these days. Many people do start blogs — a few with success, and most with none. If you’re in the beginning stages of building a blog, you have a ton to learn. If you stay the course, you will learn, and you’ll be amazed […]
I started this blog because I want to help aspiring writers like you — people who know they have the words inside them but need help in all phases of building their online writing career. This includes the writing itself, building consistent habits, marketing, and technical aspects. I conducted a few surveys and was surprised […]
Odds are you’re falling into a trap. I’ve seen many aspiring writers fall into it and I’ve written about many times, but it needs to be said again. If you want to stand a chance at becoming successful as an online writer, you can’t start a blog that reads like a personal journal. I get […]
You know you need to write often to have a successful writing career. You want to build a writing habit so you can unleash the ideas, words, and stories you have locked inside you. But… You can’t bring yourself to face the page enough to make the habit stick. You write sometimes, or worse, you don’t write […]
First, let’s eliminate all potential whining from whiny writers. We’re living in the best possible time in human history to be writers. As a writer today, you don’t have to jump through the insane hoops, obstacles, and barriers your predecessors had to. Kurt Vonnegut wrote for twenty-five years before publishers discovered him. Today, you literally […]
You shouldn’t treat reading books like a sport. Saying you read 100 books in a year doesn’t mean anything. Saying you learned something that gave you a crucial insight, altered the way you think about the world, or made you better at your business or profession means everything.
