Why You Need To Know Business To Be A Successful Writer

You can't say, I only want to play in the sentences and I don't want to learn about the business and then go, why isn't my business growing? You should understand different business models. You should try different business models. Part of the reason why I've monetized my writing in a dozen different ways is because I always want to learn, well, what are the advantages of these different business models? And that is how you have more optionality to charge more. How you don't charge more is by spending all day thinking, oh, if I get better and better at swapping adjectives, magically I make more money. And that's why, you know, my book series is titled the Art and Business of Online Writing, the Art and Business of Ghostwriting. Because both components are crucial. You can't just be that naive writer who goes, I love spending all day in. In the sentences, but I don't want to learn about the business. That's for somebody else. If that's how you feel and that's the point of view that you want to live life through, don't complain about how you don't make more money. That's my only feeling about it is.
