Don't Write for Passion. Write for Money!

Did you notice that I didn’t publish a newsletter last week? I was vacationing, and I intentionally decided to leave work ??

Of course, I fucked up, who never fuck up hands in the air.

No hands??

Well, I came across a post on Forbes by Julia Wuench explaining why following your passion is the worst career advice.?

I ?? agree with the post.

When I started writing, I used to be the “write for passion” girl. I’d write anything because I had a burning desire. I didn’t niche down or try to understand the business of writing because I didn’t care about the outcome of my articles; I just wanted to write.?

Please don’t do this.?

Why?

You won't grow! I was stuck in one place for the longest because I didn't care about profit or my readers. I wrote what came to my mind without a strategy.

I'm not saying it is wrong to write whatever comes to your mind, but growth is essential.?

You know what is better than writing for passion? Writing for money!?

Because with money, you can pay your bills, get a better PC, move to a better home, and enjoy your life.

Writing for passion won't make you chill with the big boys.

What I want you to do right now is forget about passion and focus on how you can make money. To make money as a content writer, you need to niche down and develop your writing skills in that niche.

Here's a to-do for you:?

Go on Google and search for "profitable content writing niches." Pick one that resonates with you and start learning about it.

Listen to podcasts on that niche, watch videos, read articles, join groups -?keep learning and be intentional about becoming a great writer so you can earn more.?

Remember,

When you keep doing one thing consistently, there's a good chance you'd become passionate about that thing.

Till next week, bye????
