Over the years I've earned money from my writing in several ways.
I sell affiliate products, advertising, sell my own books and do freelance writing work.
But lately I've had a yearning to only do the type of writing that I love the most.
And that is writing books.
Not only is it the type of writing I prefer to do, but also it provides more income in the long term and is also passive income which means that once a book is written, it can go on earning money while I get on with other projects.
I earn money from every book I write, but the same cannot be said for the other ways in which I make money from writing.
For instance, I have no control over the products that I sell for other people and sometimes products are withdrawn while I'm in the middle of promoting them.
Only recently I was promoting a product by doing article marketing when suddenly it was withdrawn from the affiliate network and was instead only sold by the owner. So then I had to go through all my articles and change the link to another similar product or unpublish the articles. Such a waste of time.
Freelance writing also involves a lot of pitching with very few offers. That's not to say it's not worth doing because most assignments are worth several hundred dollars if I can land them, but constant pitching can feel frustrating at times, and it's unpaid work.
And advertising doesn't always work. Some ads are popular while others attract no attention at all and so just sit there taking up valuable space on my websites.
But writing books is what I love to do and because it's something I enjoy, I'm more motivated to do it and so I'm much more productive when I do sit down to write.
So if you have a favourite type of writing that you love to do, plan to do more of it.
It can be any type of writing that appeals to you including copywriting, article writing, blogging, ebooks, fiction script writing, comedy writing...you choose.
Then buy whatever you need to help you and learn as much as you can.
And then write.
And then write some more.
