Hey guys, this post doesn’t really have much of an educational value so I apologize in advance. I’m sitting in my white-walled kitchen typing away at 3:36 AM, and am honestly really content with my life. For quite a while, I have been trying to work at this whole writing thing with the hopes that I can make a living out of it. At this current point, I can and though I am exhausted (I’ve been up all night writing blog posts for clients) I am really happy that I can show my family that all of the hours are actually worth it.
Just in case you are wondering, no I haven’t gotten a book deal, though I am still trying. I have finally gotten to the point that I am earning more money freelance writing, than I have ever earned at any job, and it is enough that it will actually be a pretty big pay cut when I have to start working as High School English Teacher this upcoming fall. (I have already signed a contract, and honestly, I don’t really want to back out of it.)
—I’m a writer; all I have is my word.
My plan is to continue freelancing all the way up until I start teaching, and talk to my clients to see if they would be open to working with me if I started a Content Marketing Agency. I would still want to write on my time off, but I couldn’t handle two full-time jobs without some help. If they are down, I will probably be reaching out to some of you guys and see if you would want to write some articles for me. (I would definitely pay, btw, though I am not sure about the rates yet).
Anyways, this is still a few months off, but I wanted to type this while I have a minute and go ahead and get it scheduled. Thanks for reading my short ramblings, and next week we will jump back in with a more educational topic. I hope you guys are having an awesome day, and if you haven’t signed up for the newsletter, you are missing out on a chance to win a writer’s toolkit (check out the link and scroll to the bottom of the post in order to see everything that will be given away.)
This is some amazing news that you are making the money from writing, well done Steven, so happy for you.
