Can an average writer survive by writing alone?

It's very difficult. You're living on a pitiful meager hard job at the moment. You don't have any other talents, so you only have countless brains, but your storytelling skills are too poor, so it's hard to survive under millions of writers.

If you want to make a living by writing, at least you need to read a lot, be well-informed, and cover all kinds of books, which is considered the foundation. There's also the ability to tell stories, plots, and whatever. The most important thing is persistence.

If a book takes a few months to complete, it will soon hit the street if it is not at the level of a great god. The reality is brutal. There are a lot of online writers, and there are many plagiarism or something, so this road is full of hardships.

To survive until the first day, it may not be easy to get by with the manuscript fee. And to write ** also to go out and walk more, full-time writing is easy to find the feeling and occlusion. You can find a job and get in touch with society and the workplace, so there are a lot of materials.

Personal humble opinion.

If it's an online article like a certain point in my impression, to earn money to support yourself, you need: continuous output ability, that is, to ensure the number of words and deliver on time. In the case of ensuring that the quality of millions of words does not decline too much, some readers at this time have developed the inertia to keep chasing, and those who will not keep chasing will also ensure a certain amount of popularity and **.

The above is relatively simple and intuitive, online articles usually start with a simple creative impulse, and people who can eat in the online literature industry can usually maintain this impulse or inspiration for a long time, expanding to millions of words or even hundreds of millions, there is a suitable rhythm in the early stage, and there will be a suitable ending in the end, and it is difficult for people with many eunuchs to survive.

First of all, someone reads what you write, secondly, someone likes to read it, and then there is someone who is willing to pay for what you write. It's not me who strikes you, now there are a lot of people writing, how many can make money, and how many can publish? If you insist, here's a word of advice: don't procrastinate.

Personally, I think it's better to write **, as long as you can stick to it, you can succeed. Of course, you can support yourself by writing alone, and whether you can afford it or not is another matter. After work, it is quite painful to make some short essay submissions to earn a little money to nourish your life, and to squeeze inspiration for your main business.

It's really not easy to support yourself by writing, I'm a person who writes **. It's not a god level, it's just a hobby, and I'm smiling. has its own job, so the general code words are around the early hours of the morning, and the decisive panda has wood?

Hehe. I have been a writer for more than a year, and I have earned some money by writing essays, but I have spent it as pocket money.

It's up to you how you write it. Suppose your 200,000 words are divided into 20 short stories, and these 20 short stories are successfully published in magazines, depending on the manuscript fee of 100 thousand words, at least you have a manuscript fee of 20,000 yuan (but can you really guarantee that these 20 short stories are all successful?). Suppose your 200,000 words are published by investment, then there are the following types, you go through the buyout system, assuming that the buyout ** is 5000 words per 1000, then you will have 10,000 manuscript fees for this book (5000 words is still more promising.)

If you go through the royalty system, let's say you are a new writer, then the first printing of the first book is about 2000 or 5000, according to the royalty of 6%. Suppose the price of a book is 20, then I am lazy, I don't want to calculate the approximate, there are also a few thousand, what if it is reprinted in the future? Wow, the silver of the white flowers (as for whether it can be printed, it depends on whether the reader pays for it.)

For those of us who sell articles for a living and monetize our knowledge, we want to turn the articles in black and white into real gold, and submission is a faster way to make money. Targeted writing and submission, the approval rate will be relatively higher, and the money settlement is also the fastest. If you just contribute and other manuscript fees to live, the time is more difficult, and you can get self-** and more income at this time**.

But pay special attention to this order: the most important thing is to submit the manuscript first and make yourself a contracted author. After coming to operate their own self-obtained**.

A tough cat once said: If you want others to remember you, you have to create a bright label for yourself. Make yourself a signed author of so-and-so, this label will bring a lot of fans and influence for your own self-esteem.

When your writing is very mature, when your fame and influence are getting bigger and bigger, when you have a certain number of fans who appreciate you, you can do high-end training courses to make a profit. There are two ways to do this, one is to do your own training courses. The other is to sell other people's courses.

When we get to this point, we need to grow together and take advantage of cooperation. In this way, you can get more fans who trust and transfer, and you can also make your own courses sell more popularly, even if you sell other people's courses, you can better monetize your own fans, which is a win-win way.

My personal suggestion is to find a bowl of rice to eat. Is it okay to write as a side hustle? Before Lu Xun died, he also told his children that he asked them not to make a living by writing like him. If you like to write, just do it as a hobby.

In this day and age, I wouldn't advocate for people to choose to write for a living, because there isn't much dignity. If you want to fight for freedom, you must first strive for independence and be proud of living a decent life on your own. As much as I love to write and think, life itself is more important.

Maybe it's because of studying liberal arts and doing **, there are too many people around me who make a living from writing. Students also often ask, is there a future for writing? A reader asked:

Can you make money writing? Am I a little lost? "You can't make much money from writing!

But it's our hobby, keep it at it! A person must have a dream in the world, whether the dream is finally realized or not, it is not important that the dream is finally realized, what matters is the process of our hard pursuit.

Except for those who write online articles, those who engage in pure literature want to support themselves with manuscript fees, which can only be a pipe dream. Some well-known writers actually have a difficult life, because there are too few readers, books are too difficult to sell, and publishing houses are also risky.

I think it's very rare, because if you are not a well-known writer, it is difficult to support yourself with the manuscript fee alone.

No, the manuscript fee is really small, there are too many writers now, and there is a lot of chaos, anyone can write, so the manuscript fee is very low, except for well-known writers, small writers can't afford to eat at all.

Now there are no writers who rely on manuscript fees to support themselves, because in today's society, this industry is relatively difficult, and it is impossible to maintain a normal life with wages alone.

Xinjiang woman Xia Aihua (online name Urumqi Mei) achieved the goal of buying a house and a car by writing articles.

No. Because the current authors can actually make not much money, some authors will choose to engage in some side hustles.

In fact, in addition to those more famous writers, some small writers can also have a certain income and can ensure a basic life.

There should be, but there are very few, because for the general public today, literature is not a necessity of life

The manuscript fee is pitiful. Writers are all captive! The wild ones are hard to survive!

How not? I just, I just write without collecting money, and drink the northwest wind.

First of all, you need a good foundation, you must have a writing topic that is most suitable for you, and you have the highest probability of success in writing (proficient in a certain topic), and you can gradually try to improve other topics after becoming famous.

secondly, you need a platform (or **) to gradually accumulate popularity, and as popularity increases, popularity will rise; There need to be enough "like-minded people" to encourage each other, in the early stage of creation, the probability of hitting a wall is high, self-esteem is easily hit, and having someone around to encourage you is a good way to improve your self-confidence.

In the end, luck is needed, Doris Lessing, a British female vertical writer, was shortlisted for the Nobel Prize in 1962, but the result passed by.

Oh, I can't help but believe that sometimes a career needs to be so lucky.

In total, it's 4 (3) words: writing, medium, confidence, luck (abridged if not needed).
