Make a Living Writing: 25 Tricks for Freelance Writers
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
When I was a child, when I told my parents that I wanted to be a writer, they told me that it was very difficult, as difficult as being a soccer player (I don't deny it); and that the best thing would be to have a job, for example (recurrent example) as a teacher, and, in addition, to write in my free time. How? Is it impossible to live only by writing?
LIE.
For a while I believed it, until they started to offer me money for my writings and I began to meet other people who, while still students, had also found ways to obtain very juicy incomes from writing.
It is possible to make a living from writing, experience has taught me that and here I share how. So that all those who, like me when I was a kid, want to do it, can learn from my experience.
You don't need to have a boring job that you hate. If you are really interested in the art of arranging spaces and letters, there are millions of people willing to take advantage of your talent: it has a huge value in the market.
There is an opportunity for writers who take their profession seriously and make the most of their own creativity.
It is difficult because we have been educated to obey, to write or do what we are told, and, as we see in this book, if you want to make a living from writing you should not limit yourself to writing for others.
Here I show you what has helped me, my trajectory.
I warn sailors: making a living from writing requires discipline and passion. Discipline, self-discipline in case you are independent, can be improved. Not passion, if you don't like writing, if you don't do it out of the need to express yourself and to create, it is very difficult for you to dedicate enough hours to it to make it a source of income powerful enough to give you the life you want.
You are probably here because you have lacked something to be able to dedicate yourself 100% to words, or, perhaps, you already do, but you want to improve. Come on!
