This post is for you if you’re in the midst of pursuing an online career — whether you're trying to create an income from your passion, writing, and hoping to quit the 9–5 in pursuit of freedom and happiness.

This post is also a mini tribute to my almost 5-year blogging career and 10 years of freelancing, as after a decade, I’m returning to full-time employment.

This might come as a shock to many — especially coming from someone who makes $500+ a day just from selling books online. And yes, in this post, I’m sharing a few tips on how I made that happen. How I turned my love for writing (even without any talent for creative writing) into a steady income stream.

But like with everything in life, there are two sides to every story. And who knows — this post might just be the perspective your eyes needed to see to accelerate your growth, offering the insight and clarity you didn’t even know you were looking for.
