I very much appreciate your insightful response, AHumanCommunity.
You make nothing but valid points, and I thank you for sharing them.
I’m currently working on (self?) publishing my first book, tentatively titled, Think Better, Write Better. I will finish and release the text but I’m still trying to nail down a timeline.
I have earned money as an editor and a ghostwriter, and I’m considering offering a coaching service aimed at helping aspiring writers enhance their abilities.
I’m also interested in starting a podcast (or releasing some other form of audio-based content on a regular basis) and creating an online course for purchase.
There are, thus, various potential revenue streams based, either implicitly or explicitly, on my writing that I’m currently exploring.
I believe the important thing, at this point, is to pick one, stick to it, and “go hard” at monetizing first-rate content.
