If you’re looking to set yourself up as a one person online writing business it’s important that you approach the opportunity with open eyes. Firstly, let’s start with the question of how much money you can make. Will you make a million dollars? No. Only established offline authors with a high profile make this sort of money. Is it possible to make $80- $100k per year? Yes, but it will require some hard work and a dash of entrepreneurial spirit. In fact, to have a truly successful online writing business you will need to spend nearly as much time marketing yourself as you will creating written content. To command this type of income you will most likely need to supplement your writing efforts with some affiliate marketing.
