What these three mistakes taught me about getting ahead as a writer and making money!

We want to reach big goals with our writing, use it to motivate other people, and make money at the same time. But it is not as easy as we think to make our dreams come true.
We often feel like we are stuck and not moving forward, especially at the start of our journey. Aren’t we? Or you find it easy to succeed? Do you?
Even though we work hard and are committed, we do not set clear, attainable goals that will make our writing journey enjoyable and fulfilling.
To be honest, you will never be able to make money from writing if you are not good at setting goals.
Not anymore! What are some of the worst things writers do when they set goals? I will show you how to avoid them today. Aren’t you excited?
1. Setting Too Vague Goals

It is not clear or doable to set goals like “I will write more” or “I want to improve my writing.”
It will be hard to take the right steps with your writing if you do not know what you want to achieve. You might not even take any steps.
Making your goals more specific and doable from now on is the way to go. Right?
And this is the formula you need: Verb -> Focus -> Target -> Deadline
So let’s real-set our writing goals!
- Example 1: Write a 500-word story every day, usually between 9p.m. and 12p.m.
- Example 2: Write a 300-word story Monday through Friday, during my lunch break, the week is over for my family.
Do You get the point? You are welcome to tell us about your writing goals.
2. Over-Relying on Inspiration or Motivation to Write Consistently

Do not tell me that you are waiting for a sudden inspiration and drive to start writing. Don’t you?
It might not be possible for you to handle this hard hit! It is hard to always be motivated.
Instead of relying on your own drive to write a lot, you should look into a solid system that will always help you write and reach your goal.
And now for the most important things to think about when building a good writing system:
1. Pick a spot where you can write in comfort. It should be quiet and no other things should be going on.
2. Set aside time to write. Figure out when it will be best for you to complete your writing tasks. This could mean looking at your family duties and plans.
3. Even if you are not sure if you should, go to the place where you planned to write at the time you planned to go. You will not be able to reach your writing goals if you do not pay enough attention and skip around too much.
4. After some time, you should figure out what is holding you back from writing your goals and then fix those problems. Your system will be stronger after this, which means you can do more.
Do you rely on steady systems or on drive? Do not be afraid to get in touch with us.
3. Quitting Too Early

It is not as easy as we think it will be to be successful as writers and reach our goals, so we give up too soon. Aren’t you?
A lot of writers set the wrong KPIs for success. They were more interested in making money than finding out what their readers want to read. If someone is impatient and wants to win right away, they give up when things take longer than they thought they would. Sound like you?
Set a goal for the next few weeks or months, like “writing 100 pieces of content.” Get help from other people and learn how to write better as you go.
After that, check your progress and choose if writing is something you want to do.

What You Should Remember?
Writers can avoid getting frustrated and burned out by setting goals in these common ways. Instead, they can focus on their craft in a way that is consistent, patient, and growth-focused.
You will be a better writer in the long run if you set clear goals that you can reach and prepare your mind.
