🌻10 Acts That Helped Me Make $$$,$$$ in 24 MonthsTry them out?

This month, I’ll complete 3 years of taking online writing seriously.

2 years of earning full time from it.

(Over $6-figures in income.)

Here are ten things that helped me in my journey + make a living from it:

1/ Mindset

If I believed

hard work is the only way
money is difficult to earn
writing isn’t feasible
I wouldn’t have been able to do this.

“It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.” – Walt Disney

You get to choose whether you want to think like a winner or not. This inner change is the foundation for doing big things.

To do something groundbreaking, you cannot think like an average person.

2/ Just Start at One Place

I started writing articles online in September 2020.

I didn’t write on any other social platform back then because I also had a full-time job to balance and freelance gigs to make money so I could quit.

To get better at a skill, you don’t have to ace it.

You just have to start.

3/ Create Your Edge

Here’s what makes you unf*ckable:

• your mindset
• consistency
• resilience
• reaction

The best part?

All of this can be built. You’re not born with it.

I create my advantage by showing up no matter what.

Successful people aren’t more talented than you. They refuse to give up.

“It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.” — Albert Einstein

4/ Collaboration > Competition

In India especially, we’re taught to compete so much.

There’s a reason, though. We’re a populous nation and are always competing — for school, university, placement at work thereafter.

For every one vacant seat, there are thousands of applicants. So we’re always competing so much that it becomes a part of us. We’re wired to pull others down to rise because the system is such.

Sadly (or I guess gladly?), I never had that streak. I was average at studies and sucked at sports.

This helped me with the online world.

I feel there’s enough pie for all of us and I don’t need to pull anyone down.

5/ Randomly Experiment

My courses and digital products account for most of my income.

They’re a result of random experiments.

Tiny documents I made on Google Docs and Canva and put a price.

Turns out, they solved people’s problems.

So I improved it.

6/ Productise Your Knowledge

Nobody has time — not you, not others.

When you pack solutions (and they work), people are ready to pay for them.

This means that whatever you can solve for, put it into an ebook, course, or a service like consultancy. People will pay for specific knowledge because it saves them time and gives them action steps to see results right away.

It’s a win-win for both sides.

7/ Don’t Network

I’m an introvert.

I went to a networking event last year and man… it was so uncomfortable. I sat in the last row at the corner. When they gave us the last 30 minutes to talk to each other, I was dreading even walking up to someone. Moreover, I didn’t know what to say.

It felt artificial to pitch your business and see how you can work together. And my business is all on the internet, so it just felt out of place.

Do this instead: When you like somebody’s work, engage with it.

Get noticed.

And then talk to them, without an ask.

It helps to connect to someone via a mutual friend’s referral.

8/ Be Open to Pivot

The online world is dynamic.

Always, always changing.

Algorithms change and will make you pull your hair out.

Just keep at it and mould your strategy.

9/ Newsletter

I remember when advised me to start a newsletter, and I explained to him that I never wanted to do a writing business and hence didn’t need a newsletter.

Now, my personal and side-hustle newsletters are my way of communicating with my audience.

To understand them, and figure out how can I solve their problems.

Start this ASAP because this is how you own your audience. Otherwise, the platform owns them and you have no control over making your content reach them.

• People are more likely to open their emails than to see you on socials.

10/ Give For Free

I give 99% of my content for free. It’s the 1% people pay for.

Build trust, then sell.

That’s a wrap!
