Just Write! – Everything Else Will Follow
For the love of writing, just write!
I see so many people overthink the whole writing and earning money process daily.
What should I write about?
Where Should I Post?
When Should I Try to Monetise?
Everything but writing!
Here is what I suggest if anyone asks me how to start..
Go for a walk and think about what you want to write about. When you have an idea for a topic, turn around and walk home.
Along the way, write the article in your head.
Then, go straight to your laptop or PC and write.
My Daily Process
I’ve created a video showing the process if you prefer visual mediums.
My whole writing process is simple and takes very little time each day.
I walk to my local cafe and order a coffee. On the way there, I think about topics for an article.
On my way home, I write the article in my head.
Then, when I get home, I write it and post it on my blog.
Next, I import it into Medium.
Every Friday, I check the stats for my articles and see which one got the most engagement. I then break down that in my weekly newsletter.
If none of those articles are suitable for the newsletter, I’ll follow the same process for my articles: I’ll walk and think, then write.
Doing this builds habits, which are essential if you want to stick to the process.
BONUS: Since adopting this method, I’ve lost a lot of weight! Win-win!
