How to Write Consistently for Money
They say, when you are doing it for passion, you tend to work longer. When you do it for money you end up burning out with your mental and physical energy.
I thought I should take the money route and yet keep the sanity. I have yet to master this but I have now got the gist of this system and also learned how to make the most out of writing consistently.
So today I thought I should point you to some of the tips on how this can be achieved without having much mental health issues and the physical boredom. So let's talk about it.
I assume you have a knack for writing because you have to do this for some time and need to have some mental strength to write enough to get thoughts out of head.
Let's discuss how to be a consistent writer and write for money.
Write in Drafts. Write in Advance.
Today is Sunday at the time of writing this article. I am going to write few more drafts and publish them one day at a time. And this way I have some content in advanced.
Let's say I want to write 1 draft every alternative day. This would slowly build up enough content at the end of the month. This would help you post the content when there is nothing you can think of for posting.
And writing in draft helps you take vacation. You can easily break the pattern of writing everyday. Instead you can take break, go out and feel the sun too. This is what many people have done over the years.
Idea Draft Method
When you have ideas in mind. Create a draft and write the points for that idea. This way you can preserve your idea longer. So with each idea you get an article. Which in turn makes a good log of articles for month.
So whenever you want to remember your ideas. Make sure to turn that in for an article. This would be a good option for those who want to write longer content. Something many writers are doing.
I think idea drafting method is good option when you want to write for passive articles too. Like say you write for some of the sites where you want to write for specific topics for months, then use this method.
Practice Commenting. Turn Big Comments to Article.
Sometimes we get into argument. Sometimes we want to write long paragraph. It's good to turn this long content into an article. You would find this a good practice. Because you save time with this method.
There is a problem with this method as if the topic is related to religion, politics and other topics which may not be a good idea to turn into big content. The reason being those articles can create your influence down.
So when you comment then see if you can convert that into an article. Which makes article writing an option for you on many topics and also you won't get bored with the same. See if you can cover latest topic this way.
Tell others What didn't Worked.
Sometimes we know what worked. And we don't want to share what didn't worked. When we start to share what worked. It helps to share what are some of the things that didn't worked.
I often write the articles on what worked and what didn't worked. This is something I want to do it longer as it becomes a real life experience something you can share with others. Which is also a good option long term.
I prefer telling others what is good for me and may work for you. Which a lot of people can use in their life and use it to improve their world. And this approach can be good for creating drafts of articles as well.
What do you think?
I think if you follow this approach you will have enough content that can be a good articles which can be posted. You will also have enough people liking or reading your content. Something you should do if you want to build influence over other people.
What's your opinion? How do you build up the articles and drafts if you write for money?
a great approach. and I congratulate you with all my heart. The sketch idea is excellent. Sometimes people don't know what to write. It would be an advantage for him if he could clear his mind and write it down and save it as a draft. As you said, he goes on vacation whenever he wants, he goes for a walk. he will be able to do this because the articles he will publish are ready.
