How I Tripled My Writing Income Overnight
I found $1.35 between my couch cushions
“Success comes to those who hustle.”
I’ve heard that so many times in my new career as a writer that it’s become a mantra so powerful it stirs my coffee each morning.
For months I’ve been grinding away. Over 100 published pieces. Over a dozen long form blog posts. Freelance work that makes earning minimum wage seem like a lottery win.
But I’m happy to announce that I’ve found the key to tripling my writing income:
I found $1.35 in my couch cushions. Without any hustle at all.
Yep, a 300% jump! That’s mathematically both possible and believable when your starting balance is a slight bit over fractionally miniscule.
I even went so far as to check other places I write for comparison. I made 43 cents for the month at one place, all while publishing nearly every single day.
My couch is officially the more profitable platform.
I’ve read the articles that have alluring titles like “How I Made $10,000 Writing From a Hammock in Fiji” and “The One Side Hustle that Will Pay for Your Private Island and a Hammock.”
