How To Become a WriterPreneur in 2024(In 1 Hour/Day)

Learn more about the writing business

Writing doesn’t feel like a business for a lot of us till we step in, it was my case for sure.

To me, writing was more of an art or a science.

My world went up and down when I learned the fact that the total gross revenue from Harry Potter sales is estimated at $7.7 billion.

I sat and thought about it. Everything we do in our life is somehow related to reading. This was the moment I realized :

The ability to write = money (a lot sometimes)

It’s not only about writing, it’s about turning your writing into a profitable business. And I’ve done it in 1 hour/day.

Here is how!

1. Build an Audience

Building the audience is the first thing you should think of. That’s the first step in writing business. To build an audience — give people reasons to follow you.

Writing is about learning or feeling.

A. Learning

The first reason people will follow you is you have something valuable to give them. They are learning from you. You just have to find out what you can give them that nobody has (For example: Atomic Habits).

B. Feeling

Writing can make you feel something deep inside. That’s the reason we are reading fiction books. When you are good at imagining stories (for example: Harry Potter ) you have incredible potential.

It’s up to you to choose: give useful information or emotions (Maybe both at the same time ?)

2. Serve Your Audience

To build an audience you should serve them. You are the person who has the experience and the knowledge — that’s your currency.

Transform that into words and you are a winner.

Here are some tips :

Write are clearly as possible (One idea at a time)
Enlighten
Motivate your reader

Remember, each piece of content is a service to your reader, your reader should not be lost. You have solved some problems → help your reader solve the same problems by sharing your methods.

If you help he will remember and if he remembers he will read again.

3. Try and Collect

Try different forms of writing :

Big/Small paragraphs, Short/Long texts, etc…

You learn by trying and failing. After trying a lot of different forms of writing you have collected enough data.

Then Analyse :

Check your story stats and try to understand;

Why does this type of story perform well?

What’s the difference with stories that flopped?

Find similarities and reasons. I always analyze each story. Sometimes it’s not about the story but the publishing time.

Writing is about understanding your audience.

4. Iterate and build

I’m only 2 months in but I’m already making +$1000/month. All that putting in only 1 hour of work daily.

Shocking right?

Understand what your audience loves by analyzing. After you understand what works — repeat and build. Solve people’s problems and they will even pay for that because your life is a struggle so if you can make people’s lives easier you’ll succeed.

Simple but needs goodwill and consistency.
