I firmly believe there has never been a better time to get started writing online.

The pandemic means more people are at home, in front of a computer, consuming content online. Make that your content by publishing on Medium or finding blogs to writer for!

But I don’t want you to get overwhelmed and quit before it gets good — because trust me, if you stick with it, you can find success writing online.

These 10 writing tools helped me go from broke writer to earning more than $100,000 in the past few years.

Here’s the thing, there is a big difference between a writer making a few hundred bucks vs. making $5,000+ per month.

Why?

Because as a writer, you’re trading your time for money. But if you’re spending your time correctly, it’s a lot of money and well worth the tradeoff.

Needless to say, you need to spend your time efficiently — otherwise, you are losing money, clients, and wasting time.

These tools can help you reorganize your day and set yourself up to win. Once I made these shifts, my freelance writing income soared.
