Why Do I keep on Writing?

Why Do I keep on Writing?

I am not a professional writer. The only training/workshop I ever participated in was more than twenty years ago.

Writing is not my strongest asset. I'm more of a drawing type of person. However, I have come to love writing almost as much as I love to draw. Over the years I have been writing on different platforms, and even started my own blogs.

I did earn from some of the revenue-sharing sites that I have joined. But most of them either have shut down or stopped paying their members.

I wanted to maintain my own WordPress blog with my own domain, but I don't have the financial resources to do so nor the skills to monetize a blog.

Why Do I Want To Write?

As many gurus suggest, to succeed in any undertaking, you must find your 'Why'. And as one of my favorite authors, Bo Sanches, said, ' Find your emotional why'.

So why do I write?

• First of all, I always wanted to share what I know with others. Perhaps the same reason why I accepted the part-time teaching job I have right now.

• Second, I know that I can earn some extra income from writing as I did in the past.

• Third, I know in the future I will earn passive income from writing. Especially if... I mean when I started selling e-books.

Yup, aside from sharing my knowledge through writing, I admit, I am attracted to the potential of earning money through writing.

But why do I want to earn money through writing?

Perhaps this image will give you an idea.

I write to earn so I can provide for my family's needs. And writing is something that I can do anytime anywhere. (Just as right now, I am writing this while waiting for the food. )

Writing will allow me to earn while balancing my time with my family.

With the current platforms I am writing for, I estimate I can earn about 50% of what I am earning from my part-time job.

For Now and The Future.

Not only I wanted to earn from writing so I can spend them all. I wanted to earn so I can save some cash... or Bitcoin Cash rather, for my family's future.

Almost lost Hope.

To be honest, I almost lost hope that I could earn from writing again. In the past, I was able to earn about $100 a month. Sometimes more. But those platforms have closed. And I can barely earn $5 (in an unknown number of months)from the remaining platforms I am using.

Read dot Cash.

Then came Read dot Cash. I was reluctant at first. My first two posts earned from $25 - $0.40 each. But my third post earned more than $5.

I got excited! I finally found a platform where my writing earns. My next two posts earned more than $5 and $7 for each.

If that won't get me motivated, I wonder what.

Publish0x

Then I joined Publish0x. Another promising platform that pays in Cryptocurrency.

I still have to see how much I. An earn from Publish0x though. But from what I've read from other members, its platform has a great potential

Where I write.

At the time of writing, I am writing for the following platforms.

1. Read.Cash - for now, I post articles related to Noise.Cash and my journey to Bitcoin Cash. But members can post anything on any other subject, which I intend to do soon..

2. Publish0x - for now, I will post in Publsh0x my journey in cryptocurrency and perhaps my writing journey.

3. Project Bluefire - mostly I am posting my photos and artworks here. The current version allows the members to post anything on any subject.

4. Forum coin - I normally post IT-related stuff in Forum Coin, including lists and reviews.

5. Artbytesph.blogspot.com - this is my personal blog on digital design, artworks, and photography.

Also, I was planning to create a WordPress blog that where I can post other IT-related information. But I think I will post them on my Publish0x blog instead.

Conclusion.

To sum it up, I write because I can potentially earn more than enough to cover my family's monthly expenses and probably open up a source for passive income in the future. And I can do that without sacrificing my time for my family.

Until next time.
