It sometimes surprises me that people even need to ask this question because the answer is simple.
I think what people are really asking is, 'How can I earn money QUICKLY from writing?' They're looking for a quick fix. But being a writer isn't a way to get-rich-quick. I mean sure, you can start earning money fast, but you won't get rich quick.
Instead, the simple answer to earning money from writing is to write more.
The most successful writers are those who outwork the rest.
Look at it this way. If you had a blog with a dozen pages of articles, and you'd written and published an ebook, how much money could you earn from that?
But what if you had a blog with 200+ pages, you'd written and published 20 ebooks, plus you constantly wrote and submitted freelance work to magazines and websites, and you wrote paid guest posts for other blogs to help promote your own?
How much money could you be earning then?
You see, it's up to you what you write and how much you write. Writers earn money in different ways, but whichever way you choose, if you're not out-working the rest, how can you possibly hope to earn more?
The important thing is to start writing. And don't stop. Don't say you're too tired, or you've had a busy day, or you just don't feel like it, or you have a headache, or a bad back (or any other physical excuse).
If Stephen Hawking could write books while sitting immobile in a wheelchair using only a twitch in one cheek to operate his computer, then the rest of us have no excuse.
