CREATIVE WAYS TO MAKE MONEY AS A WRITER
TOPIC:*Creative ways to make money as a writer.
Taught by:Homa Phebe Jameson
Writing is the act of recording on paper or any platform by which what is written can be read later.We all write,we may not all be writers yet, but we all write. In the church, school,at home, on the road, office etc.
Writing with pen and paper is soon fading away. We now use our fingers as pen and phone,tab,laptop,ipad as paper.Writing is a skill. It is also a Gift to some others. Habakuk 2:2....And the Lord answered me, write the Vision and make it plain upon tables(ipad,system,wall of your house, etc) that he may run that readeth it.Writing shows an intention to commit to something. So according to God's word, it is a means by which A Dream or Vision is pursued.To be creative in writing does not happen in one day. It is a skill as much as it is a Gift but consistency brings out its best.
Writing is a skill and can be learned. No one wants to read a boring article or book. If you must be the best seller you must sharpen your writing skills. It makes your readers glued to your contents whether fiction or nonfiction like a seasonal movie. People actually buy you and not what you write because you earned their time, it makes them committed to your contents because they get inspired and they also learn from you.
People also read your contents if it makes them happy.... Entertainment writers. People get glued to your contents if your are exposing facts or teaching what is needful to them. They can spend 10k on a book if it has solutions to the problems they face.
Last month I bought a book and a course for 15k because I needed it,to save myself stress and mistakes.
Writing is fun, play the game to win. Have the right motive for writing else you will miss your essence and even end up developing crabby contents on social media.What's your writing Vision for say 10 years from now?
Have you had that planned? How would you get to become your Dream you?
We often talk about writing but don't actually write.Write your writing plan. So what are those ways we make money from writing?
1. Blog hosting
There are quite a number of high quality authorised blogs that are willing to pay you to blog for them.
Most times its a writing internship I know UNICEF creates that opportunity for youths and even offer certificates.
Success online magazine too.
Most of them are international blogs and they pay in Dollars.
2. Social media virtual invites .
By this I mean when you position yourself as an authority in your niche. Either as a blogger, author, speaker etc. You are invited to different Groups on Facebook, whatsapp,twitter etc to teach and they pay you for sharing contents.
Still on number 2.
You are payed when you have value to offer.
That's why you need to develop yourself in your chosen niche.
Become the Genius.
Be the Go to person,don't sit in your small corner.
Apply to different platforms on social media that have large audience to teach.
Develop yourself and register your name in the hearts of thousands of people you meet.
*Build your tribe*
This is your own audience that have followed you for some time.
Here is where you host writing challenges, teach people and they pay you very well.
3. Books
This is one major area writers get paid from.
It is a daily pay
It is massive but you have to solve a problem before people can commit to always buying your books.
Testimonials alone can triple your book sales.
And how can people even talk good about a boring book.So becoming an author is not just about jotting down words and publishing it. It's a project and must be given your best. From the introduction to conclusion must be interesting.Your book cover must be inviting. Your conclusion must be compelling
4. Social media content developer.
Most companies now employ for this position.
You create content for the company on all their social media platforms everyday.
This is interesting because you don't need to be at work from 8-5pm. You have shorter work hours.This keeps the brand of the company in the heart of people because every one is online now.
We spend even more time online than with Friends and even family sometimes. You can apply for this role to any company in Nigeria that values Customer Service and Brand. And they are all awakening to the social media age.
5. Online marketing
This is vast as it covers even more than social media platforms.
You introduce brands to potential customers or an environs that is not aware of a product.
Using Video graphing, artificial intelligence and lots more.
Basically to make a product known online and increase sales.
6. Webinars
Here you organise seminars online and teach different writing techniques or how to write a book,
How to plan a book lunch
How to write compelling articles etc.And this Webinars are payable. Depending on the value you are giving out.
Some writing Webinars in Nigeria are even up-to 25k. One held last month and people paid for it.Because it solves a problem.So don't just write for writing sake. *Be intentional and strategic*
*Still on books*
_Amazon_ is fast paying writers in dollars everyday Don't just be a local writer.
People in Dubai should call and Appreciate you for inspiring them or teaching them.
*Audio books*
You can speak your book too and have it read in the United States, United Kingdom, China, in their Super stores, Book stores, etc.
Making you an international author and even have opportunity of becoming an international best seller.
*Book editing /proof reading*
Everyone is fast becoming an author every day.
Pitch or apply to become their editor.
You can start up an editing group.
People pay heavy for editing because they want their books to be professional.Don't wait for inspiration just write.
Discipline yourself to be committed to writing....You Grow with time.
Don't struggle to write like some else.
Grow your own writing culture. Though you can admire and learn but don't be another person.
