A Love For Writing
Creativity runs through my blood. I came from a lineage of entrepreneurs, entertainers, and innovators. I innately possess the ability to cultivate any talent I have embedded in my DNA, and so do you!
MAY I ASK YOU SOMETHING?
May I take a wild guess and assume that you have a passion for writing?
Are mini stacks of notepads tucked in random corners in your house?
I bet story ideas pop into your head and you scramble to jot them down on napkins, receipts, or even a digital notepad.
Is research more of a necessity rather than a daunting task because you love to learn new things?
Then we are two peas in a pod. High five friend! 🖐
I believe that we are all born with a gift to share with the world. My family stands by the infamous verse: if you spare the rod you spoil the child. My parents would take my TV, radio, and portable CD player whenever I acted out. This generation of streamers doesn’t know the delicate handling it took to avoid scratching and skipping your CD on the school bus. My disciplinary actions left me with my pencil, notepad, and children’s books in my electronic-less room. I would read my favorite Little Critter tales and Judy B Jones adventures. I’d even take a shot at scripting my own imaginary stories onto my notepad.
As I grew older, I began writing poetry and short stories. English became my favorite subject and writing became one of my favorite hobbies. I decided to use my love for writing as a way to generate income.
WAYS TO GET PAID TO WRITE

Blogging is writing and publishing articles that are consistently updated. It can be your virtual diary or a promotional platform for your product(s) or service(s). There’s no right or wrong way to blog. You can write about different topics or one specific niche. It’s your prerogative. With proper usage of search engine optimization (SEO), you will attract more viewers to your website.
Video Script Writer
Anxiety is my kryptonite whenever I have to speak publicly. I prefer to work behind the scenes. Video script writing is for the backstage performers. It is similar to speech writing. You create content with a conversational tone that will hook and reel an audience. This form of writing is marketable to YouTubers, social media influencers, etc.

The digital age have made it easier to become a best-selling author. There’s easy ways to publish and market your works. If you have a story to share; write it, revise it, and sell it. It’s that simple. With diligence and hardwork, you can become a best-selling author in any industry.

I see that typos make you wince. It is proofreader not proofread…Gotcha 🙃
You may even be the human form of auto correct.

Do you feel me? Then editing is your thing! You can promote your editing services to authors, bloggers, or any entity that publishes content.
