How Writing Helped Me to Grow Financially

Writing helped me when I had an empty pocket in my College life.

“When you work on something that only has the capacity to make you 5 dollars, it does not matter how much harder you work — the most you will make is 5 dollars.”

We all face financial problems in our life. I faced it when I was in my college. My expenses were increasing and my father could not provide me with more money.

I started thinking about earning money. I googled about earning money online. I read 100 articles and started making the plan.

I made my first blog but unfortunately; it didn’t work. I failed after working hard on it for 1 year.

Also, I joined Fiverr as a freelancer. I started making $40 by freelancing for the first few months. I know that is not the sizeable amount, but it provided me with 1-time food.

It was the first successful side hustle I created.

Then I started looking for more ways to increase my side hustle. I started writing as a freelancer. I made my timetable and considered freelancing as a job. I started writing on different platforms, such as vocal media and HubPages.

I made my timetable for writing when I was in my college days. I started waking up at 5 am. After running, I started writing 750 words before college lectures.

In the evening I set a goal to write 2 complete articles and frame outline for next articles. I followed this time table for 2 years when I was in college.

When I passed out of college, I landed in the job. But I never left my writing habit. I write about my domain as I am a software engineer.

Freelancing is a first side hustle. Writing helped to grow as a financial independent.

People ask on forums that how much you can earn from writing. I say them you can earn enough money for your 2 times food and house rent. It is more than enough for me when I was in college.

These two things helped me to grow as a writer

I write daily

I write daily at least 750 words; it is a goal and never take a holiday. Writing daily makes you an expert in writing skills. When you write more, you improve yourself as a writer.

You don’t need any kind of motivation to write daily at least you can write 300 words. Give half hour daily. Choose the best time for you. Whether it is daytime or nighttime.

Writing every day helps you become more creative and makes your skill to be better for a writer. And that helped you to grow as a writer.

I research more

Writing and reading go hand in hand. They both are like brother and sister. When I choose the topic to write. I read at least 5 articles about it and outline it.

Writing an article in proper format help to finish an article in less time. And I never edit the article when I write I do it after 1 day.

These easy and effective methods helped me grow as a writer. Writing is just like other skills. You can earn much more than you think about writing. I think writing is the best side hustle.
