A few days ago I was listening to an audio recording of a conversation with top copywriter, Bob Bly. http://www.justaddhustle.com/session1/.
Bob has been a copywriter most of his working life.
He works from an office he rents instead of working from home because he finds he gets more done this way.
Many copywriters have 'copy cubs' working for them but Bob never has because he prefers to do all his writing himself so that if anyone hires him to do their copy for them, they can be sure that it is actually Bob that will work for them and not a hired cub.
And one of the things he said in this audio really struck me as not only sage advice but also so simple that most people miss it.
He was asked about how much money he earns from his copywriting and how he manages to earn it consistently because Bob is one of the most highest-earning copywriters on the planet.
And his answer was simple. He said, (and I paraphrase because I can't remember his exact words) "I work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. And when you work that much you have to earn a lot of money."
It made me nod my head in agreement because so often I get asked about earning money from writing because so many people never seem to be able to do it.
And when I delve deeper into the problem, it almost always turns out that they're not really doing much writing.
Their ideal is to write for a few hours every day.
But in reality, they're not writing very much even in a week let alone writing every day. It's also surprising (or perhaps not) how many people sit down at their computer every day, but instead of writing, they goof off on Facebook or forums or just idly surf the net jumping from one website to the next.
So the real 'secret' to earning a lot of money from writing is to do what Bob Bly does and do a lot of writing.
How much money could you earn if you were working 12 hours a day? And I mean actually doing writing instead of being distracted by other things.
I know I could quite easily knock my earnings out of the park (so to speak) if I kept those kinds of writing hours.
But I do work several hours a day and that is how I keep my writing income as consistent as I possibly can.
