What I Learned After Publishing 900+ Articles in 4 Years
It’s not as simple as saying “consistency is the key.”
900 articles in 4 years sounds doable when you’re a full-time writer.
But of these 900 articles I published, 300+ were written when I was working a full-time job.
That’s what surprises a lot of people, and that’s the myth I’m here to bust today: You don’t become a writer by quitting everything and starting from scratch. You become a writer by writing. Whether you have a job, are studying, running a family, or have other commitments, your journey as a writer starts the day you publish.
I’m against quitting your job and going all-in with your passion. That’s a sure-fire way to burden your creativity and tangle yourself in a writers block so intense, coming out of it feels like a dream.
If you start writing on the side no matter what you’re doing, you’ll learn to -
- Get better at your craft
- Build a daily writing habit
- Make friends with other writers
- Find yourself a loyal follower base
- Analyze stats and understand what your readers want
And more.
In this post, I’m sharing the four-step process I uses to write 900+ articles in 4 years with just 2 hours a day. If you’re short on time, motivation, or ideas, I hope this article will help and make you feel unstuck.
