On Publishing 200 Stories And Making $7 To $10 Daily — It’s Time To Celebrate

Read on to know how I have reached this level without curation, top writer’s badge, and publications…

If you are following me and read my articles regularly, then you will have an idea that most of my posts are about writing and making money. This is because I am here to help newcomers gain followers and to make at least $100 per month.

Besides writing on this platform, we can work on many other sites. On the personal side, I write 2 to 4 articles here because I enjoy the process of choosing my own hours and writing whatever I like. It doesn’t matter if I am not yet making hundreds of dollars per month. I have just started my journey, and my expectations are high.

At this point, I am glad because 200 posts have been published and I have started making $7 to $10 daily (excluding my K-Star profile). For any newcomer, I think that it is a big achievement. Here is what I do to write engaging posts.

Write What Looks Important To You

I personally feel that every writer should write what looks thrilling and important to them. You should not copy the ideas or content of other writers. If you have a personal story or some tips to share with your readers, then please do it as soon as possible. Writing is not easy. Producing well-researched articles takes time, but the advantage of working on this site is we can write anything until or unless the story has been told from our heart.

Always Draft Your Ideas

You can see in the screenshot below that I have published 200 stories and 770 ideas are in drafts. You need to do the same. Having these so many ideas in drafts means I have a lot to tell to my lovely readers, but I cannot write this much overnight. I plan things for the whole week and keep publishing what inspires me the most.

You Are Not Inferior

No one is superior, and no one is inferior. Just because you are not yet making enough money doesn’t mean you don’t have the ability to achieve success. The thing is some writers start late, and they can obviously not gain a lot of followers and attention in a day or two. Let’s stop comparing ourselves to the writers who are working on this site for months or years. Every person has their own identity, so we should work hard to get good results.

Final Thoughts

What I believe is that we should Write To Inspire, not to make money. Newcomers especially need to remember this because money will definitely start rolling in if you know how to inspire people and how to keep their attention maintained.
