Write on the Scene

Helping Aspiring Writers Face Their Fears and Pursue Their Purpose

Journey

I’m Not Making Any Money from Writing (Yet!)

March 12, 2025

Writing for a living is a journey, and I know I’m not alone in feeling the frustration of not seeing instant financial success. No, I’m not making $10,000 per month right now—but I’m working towards my first $1,000. Here’s what I’m doing to get there.

My Books Are Available for Sale

I’ve published books that are available on Amazon and Gumroad. These books provide valuable insights and practical strategies for writers looking to grow their skills and confidence. While book sales aren’t a massive source of income (yet!), they’re a key part of my long-term writing business.

Offering 1-on-1 Coaching for Writers

To help other writers find clarity and direction, I’ve launched a coaching program that focuses on:
✅ Finding clarity in your niche
✅ Launching or improving your newsletter
✅ Creating a content calendar with 90 days of content

This program is designed to give writers a structured plan to build and grow their platforms without feeling overwhelmed.

Monetizing My Newsletter

I’m currently working on finalizing my paid subscriber offerings. I want to make sure I’m providing real value before I launch, so I’m exploring different ideas. If you’re a newsletter reader, I’d love to hear what kind of exclusive content would be most helpful to you!

The Path to Writing Income Takes Time

Making money from writing isn’t an overnight success story. It’s about building, testing, and refining strategies along the way. I’m staying committed to the process and continuing to learn what works best.

How You Can Support

  • Check out my books on Amazon and Gumroad
  • If you’re a writer looking for guidance, consider 1-on-1 coaching
  • Subscribe to my newsletter for free, and stay tuned for premium content!

If you’re on a similar journey, I’d love to hear how you’re working towards monetizing your writing. Drop a comment and let’s encourage each other!
