Increasing your writing income is something that most writers are looking to do. Actually, probably all writers are looking to increase their income. Not many people would complain about being more comfortable financially. But as a writer that can be tough, especially if you’re having trouble finding work. The key is managing your opportunities to earn a residual income, in addition to your main writing projects.
A residual income keeps a steady sum of money flowing into your account. This you can save for a rainy day, or spend as you need to, to keep the career going. Residual income’s usually don’t earn as much as your mainstay, but they are a good supplement.
Think about the opportunities before you. If you haven’t created a personal blog, you really should consider doing so. It’s a good way to speak your mind, get noticed, and sell some ad space to make a little extra money. Every writer should have a personal blog, and even if you don’t have the full time to invest, at least a simple blogspot.com one would suffice. Combined with Google’s Adsense program, you can make yourself a nice little cash cow.
Try some seasonal opportunities. There’s always someone out there looking for writers to write copy for season specific events, or advertisements. Those are decent jobs that are fairly easy to complete, and they pay pretty well most of the time. It’s a nice easy job that won’t detract from your main projects, but that keeps you writing, as well as earning.
If you have the sort of degree necessary, you could consider teaching other writers. Many universities offer opportunities for independent teachers. As long as you have the credentials, you can get paid for your time. Plus you get exposed to new styles, and have a chance to communicate with other writers. Now you’re not only earning some side money, but also helping your own writing to grow.
