Creative Business Online

I think it’s important for me to remember that no matter how hard I work at building up my affiliate marketing and my blogging income, I need to stay true to the fact that I am a writer. I can’t let the day go by without doing SOMETHING writing related. So I decided to set some goals for myself.

They’re pretty simple. The key is to make time for them.

• Work on a screenplay idea that I have - learn how to write screenplays and do the initial research
• Do some “me” writing each day whether it’s poetry, stories, a journal entry, writing exercises, etc
• Write one query or make one submission each day

I need to remember that I am not going to write for clients any more. Also, I am tired of blogging on free platforms. So when I get a blog idea, I’ll host it myself. I think in the long run this will be much better for business and most importantly, for my creativity. The exception to this is if I decide to test an idea to share with all of you. I understand that not everyone has the means to host their own websites and blogs.

I’ve gone on a tangent. Lol. All I can say is - my goal is to make a six figure income. I’ve long ago realized that I don’t have it in me to do it all just by writing because that would mean working really hard and trading time for dollars. If I could make $20,000 of that with writing and the rest with blogging and internet marketing, I’d be really happy.

I know I could make residual income by writing a novel or nonfiction book, but I’d rather write those things because I want to, not because I HAVE to in order to reach my goals. I’m tired of writing only because I have a monetary goal. It completely kills the joy.

If writing content is your thing, that’s okay. You don’t need to reach your goals the same way as I choose to. I just read an excellent eBook on how to make a six figure income online by writing content which was very good. If you don’t mind writing content for other people, this is a good resource for you to check out.
