Empowering New Writers: Read and Support Each Other's Stories
Written on
Chapter 1: The Frustration of Writing for Money
In a recent article, I expressed my annoyance over the overwhelming number of pieces focused on making money through writing. It seems that while topics like travel and spirituality often go unnoticed, articles boasting earnings such as “How I Made $623 in One Month” flood the platform and attract countless views.
It’s understandable; many writers, including myself, are eager to monetize our craft. However, this doesn’t mean I want to churn out content on subjects that don't resonate with me or that lack genuine passion—articles that people only engage with for financial gain. While I appreciate helpful pieces like Warren Patterson’s analysis of his writing journey, which inspired me to tackle more provocative topics, I still find it challenging to muster enthusiasm for writing money-centric articles.
Indeed, the constant focus on financial success often leads to stress and a sense of despair about the current state of the world. Additionally, many articles provide minimal actionable advice, offering mere lists of high-paying platforms without addressing the challenges of getting published.
Section 1.1: Finding a Community of Support
This experience prompted me to write the article below, where I discovered fellow writers sharing my sentiments as well as those with differing perspectives. Ultimately, I found solace in realizing I am not alone in navigating this struggle. Many writers sharing financial success stories genuinely aim to help others.

Chapter 2: A New Approach to Writing
As a means to contribute positively, I devised a new strategy that I hope will be beneficial. While I acknowledge the irony of writing an article that falls into the very category I criticized, I intentionally included “Earn More Money” in the title to draw attention, as this seems to resonate with readers.
However, my goal is not merely to profit; rather, I aim to encourage new writers to explore each other's works—extensively. I propose that when you find an article from a new writer that you enjoy, you take the time to read more of their pieces and engage with them. This not only increases their visibility but can also reciprocate, leading to more views for your own content.

Section 2.1: Mutual Support for Growth
My proposal is aimed at fostering not just increased views, but a genuine exchange of support among writers. If you enjoy one of my stories, I encourage you to explore a few more and clap for them—this way, I’ll know who to reciprocate with.
For those skeptical about this approach, I assure you that I will provide constructive feedback on your writing, share my perspectives, and offer suggestions for improvement. My intention is to create a supportive environment where we can all thrive while pursuing topics we care about deeply.

Section 2.2: Embracing Passion in Writing
Ultimately, I seek to inspire people to reconnect with life—traveling, dating, and truly living. My ambition is to help others embrace the possibilities of a digital nomad lifestyle and understand that breaking free from conventional norms is attainable. Through my writing, I wish to empower those yearning to escape the corporate grind or seek new horizons.
If you explore my other articles, you’ll see my commitment to sharing these ideas. You may even discover new insights and feel inspired to write about topics you’re passionate about. Whether or not it aligns with my interests, I’m eager to read and learn from your perspectives.
So, I invite your feedback in the comments. If you resonate with my vision, wonderful! If not, that’s perfectly okay too. I’ve included a fantastic article that might spark your interest as you begin your reading journey—just remember to clap so I can acknowledge your support.
