Every writer has to adapt to succeed.

In 2002, 81% of people wanted to write a book.

Although outdated, that stat still highlights how much people wanted to be a writer.

But why do so many people give up writing? Why do they give up on becoming a professional writer?

It’s because they don’t create a writing business. That’s the difference between the poor writer and the rich writer.

In my definition, a poor writer is someone who writes’s for less than what they are worth. They are underpaid and undervalued because of their lack of systems in their writing business.

A rich writer is paid for their value. They understand how to create a business system that upholds their value.

For years, I knew what it was like to be a poor writer. And over the years, I’ve slowly adapted business strategies into my writing. I’ve taken notes on what some of the most successful writers do and slowly implemented them into my writing business.

It’s worked for me and it can work for you.

If you want to be a rich writer, you have to be willing to change. You have to see the key differences between the poor writer and the rich writer.
