Making money as a writer is incredibly easy today.
You do not need to be a celebrated and awarded bestselling author to make money writing.
You can be like me, publishing information products which are mostly text based, or you can write for paying clients.
You can also write fiction and publish your work on multiple platforms such as Amazon Kindle, Patreon, Substack, Payhip, Gumroad, and ReamStories
And you can write newsletters and publish them on platforms such as Substack and Gumroad, or simply send them out as emails.
I’ve mentioned previously about people making tens of thousands of pounds publishing newsletters on Substack. One guy I know of makes around $1 million a year from his Substack newsletter!
Making money writing has never been easier than it has today.
One of the biggest problems to blight a writer is ‘writers block’ which can be a real problem for some writers… but for others, it’s no problem at all.
The reason that writers block is not an issue for some writers is that they have a set of tricks and tools which prevent it from happening.
Whenever they start the day, they get in ‘the flow’ from the off and never experience writers block.
One trick a lot of writers use is the Hemmingway Trick. Ernest Hemingway once said, “When you are going good, stop writing.”
It is said that he stopped each day’s writing session halfway through a sentence.
Children’s author, Roald Dahl, also used the same strategy to avoid being confronted by a terrifying blank page during his morning writing sessions.

Finishing half way through a sentence may be a strange and difficult thing to do for many, but stopping half way through a paragraph is easier.
Psychologists say that humans struggle to forget things that are half finished, which makes it easier to go back the next day to and carry on where you left-off.
When you finish something, the brain starts to automatically forget it. It is known as the Zeigarnik Effect, after the famous 1927 experiment by Bluma Zeigarnik.
The experiment observed that waiters were able to remember complex orders when the order was interrupted or incomplete, but as soon as the order was finished, it faded from memory more quickly.
The other thing about finishing half way through a paragraph is that you can read what is written and be reminded as to where you left-off and what you need to write next.
Leaving a job half finished is a great way to start fresh again the following day without the head scratching that comes from trying to figure out what you need to do next.
I don’t know if this works for everyone, some people may struggle ending the day on an unfinished paragraph or project, but studies show that it works, and both Hemingway and Dahl’s success is testament to it working for them.
Another way to avoid any form of writers block is to have a list of ideas to write about that you browse through before you start typing.
I add to that list daily whenever I see or hear something that influences an idea for an article, email, or product.
When it comes to newsletters and emails – which I make a lot of money from – I have a list of questions that I read most mornings to help me come up with ideas if I have exhausted all of the ideas on my list.
They are:
- Who and what have I seen out and about lately which I found interesting?
- What did I watch on television last night which I found interesting?
- What have I read recently which I have found interesting?
- What have I been told about/heard about recently which I found interesting?
- What have I seen online lately which I found interesting?
Those five questions will help you to find topics to write about for articles, emails, and newsletters.
Those five questions can be your own personal goldmine if you use them correctly.
