Small Change?


Yes, I know, the "moeny" is misspelled. I'll give the reason at the end, so read on!

Is it possible to enjoy writing and make some money? For most writers the best answer is YES! of course we can, but for some, money and writing aren't so fixed. There is a fine line between writing for enjoyment and writing for money. But both can be done, at the same time. Still for some "moe- for-ny" is needed, but that comes later.

It's all a balance, fun family friends, other people in your life and wriiting. So how do people make a bit of money on the side? Hubs and Blogs of course.

Since this is a hub, and i blog I'll use both as examples, Just three main points on content and enjoyment:

Content:

1) Write as much as you can as often as you can.

2) Make it interesting, not just for your readers but for yourself. If you can't write in it everyday or even at best every other day, why are you writing or joining something at all?

3) It's OKAY if it's not great to begin with, we all start somewhere.

Enjoyment:

1) Write what you know, that's the fun part.

2) IF you enjoy what you're writing it will show.

3) Network With people, but be honest and use your mind. In other words comment on other's blogs, comment on yours comment on the good and the bad, and always be respectful.

Of course this won't help you get a lot of money but it will help. Your reputation will come with you, and online, people do write about bad experiences more so than good. I am the first to say if the site isn't well run or not updated a lot with out a good reason, I go the other way. I might not mention it in blogs or on hubs. This isn't good for people.

Money will come, this I can assure you of. Remember if you enjoy something, be it writing, or blogging or whatever, your enjoyment will show. I love writing, and as you can see I try to keep everything updated as best I can. Of course I am realistic.

It does take time, but I go with the value of over time something good will happen. it's fun to make money but, it can also make your writing stale. don't write with the intent to get "moe-for-me" but to make it "moe-fun-ny"

There more fun you have the more it shows, the more money. Just write a blog post everyday or a hub frequently, and work on books and before you know it, It's fun and enjoyable,a dn as a bonus money does come to you.
