Want to monetize your words? Cool. But first...

Let’s be real—we all dream of writing something valuable, helping people, and making money doing what we love. Right?

But the harsh truth that no one likes is that writing a good piece isn’t enough.

But If you choose the wrong platform, all your hard work could be wasted.

The Harsh Truth about Monetizing Your Words.

I sit down in my favorite café for more than 3 hours to finish my article. It was about an unseen mistake that sabotaged my YouTube channel growth for months.

After some revision, I finally hit “publish.” I gathered months of data and insights into this story; surely it’ll be a massive value to my readers. Spoiler: I was wrong!

My story got no engagement, and above all, it got little views.

Then, I discovered that monetizing my writing involves more than just putting my all into it, editing relentlessly, and providing value.

All your efforts are in vain without a solid marketing strategy and a supportive platform. And that is the only thing that you shouldn’t let happen!

Why Your Platform Matters (A Lot)

Look, if you’re serious about turning your words into income, you’ve got to think beyond just the writing.

You need:

  • A platform that matches your goals (blog? newsletter? social?)

  • A strategy that brings in readers consistently

  • A clear setup to monetize your work.
