83: 20 Lessons From Earning $20,050 in 30 Days (Pt. 4)

In this Writing Wednesday episode, I continue with part 4 of my 4 part series based off my recent episode How I Made $20,050 in 30 days of Writing. I recently wrote about this on Medium but wanted to dive deeper into each lesson so you know exactly how I was able to write that much, earn that much income and apply it to your own writing. 

5 More Tips to Maximize Your Income with Freelance Writing​

I'm no different than you. I started a blog in January of 2016 and, quite frankly, was an awful writer. Two years later, I started freelance writing because my blog was failing, and I had already quit my job. Two years later, I'm publishing a post about making $20,000 in 30 days.

Success isn't overnight. But if you keep going, amazing things can happen. Keep believing in yourself, upgrading your skills, and trust the process.

1. Write Content You Enjoy
I've found that writing about topics you care about is much more enjoyable and rewarding. As lame as it sounds, it doesn't feel like work.

2. Network with Other Writers
Writing can be a lonely job; one idea or a new perspective from another writer can change your online business!

3. Don't Forget to Exercise
Both your physical and mental health will thank you!

4. Have Fun
Keep everything in perspective. You're getting paid to type words on a computer while other people in the world barely survive.

5. Celebrate Your Wins
Don't forget: Your brain loves celebrating wins! Small or big, it doesn't matter. Get in the habit of giving yourself praise and celebrate everything you do in your writing journey.
