How I Plan To Make Money From My Creative Hobbies in 2024
My Creative Plans for 2024
I would like to make money from my hobbies and in a stress-free, low pressure way.
My General Goals for 2024 Are
- To write and publish posts/articles on a consistent basis
- To grow my subscriber list
- To complete writing and publishing my short story collection
- To publish more YouTube videos
This Is Scary!
The scary thing about writing about your goals and making them public is that you now feel you are being held accountable. You feel that people are watching and waiting to see if you keep your promise and do what you say you are going to do.
Who knows what will happen but I hope that by writing out my aims, I have created some clear guidelines for myself.
What Do I Hope To Achieve This Year?
There are plenty of things that I hope to get done this year. The biggest thing is to try to figure out what type of schedule works for me so that I can stay consistent. It can be overwhelming when there is so much stuff you want to get done, but you know you don’t have the time or the energy to work on your different projects.
I work 40 hours a week, I get home late and I like to watch Netflix. Saying I will wake up at 5am to write is not realistic for me. Saying I will never watch Netflix again is not realistic for me. So I’ve got to figure out what is realistic for me.
My Proposed Schedule
Everything will be trial and error. I have laid out a simple schedule that I hope is realistic for my goals and the time I have to work on them.
What Are My Weekly Goals?
Each week I hope to:
- publish 1 travel related post
- publish 1 fiction related post
- publish 1 progress/process related post
- send at least 1 newsletter
- write1 1,000 word short story
- write at least 2,000 words of fiction for my next book.
What Are My Monthly Goals?
Each month I hope to:
- publish at least 1 1,000 word short story
- publish 2 youtube videos
- setup free a book promotion on Amazon from my existing back catalogue
What Platforms Am I Using?
- I will be publishing 2 posts on Medium
- I will be publishing 1 post on Substack
- I will send out my newsletter via Gumroad
This is a Work in Progress
I am still trying to figure things out but this is a good starting point. I might need to tweak the plan here or there.
I look forward to sharing progress reports to discuss what is working and what isn’t working for me.
Wish me luck.
