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!
