Episode 57: What we learned about other ways of making money

In this season, we've done a series of research episodes, where we comb through the internet to find out answers to how this whole money and writing thing works. Today we are presenting the results of our research on a bucket of stuff we call "everything else": eBooks and self-publishing; Newsletters and Patreon; Speaking; and Online courses. As always, we have put the sources for our discussion below. This is an introduction on what you can expect to take into account when you're considering pursuing these as income streams. The bottom line is if you're planning for this to replace your day job income, you will need to put a lot of time into it - more or less exchanging one day job for another. And that might be fine, but you should just get ready to hustle. Full show notes are on our website, marginallypodcast.com   As always, we'd love for you to take a minute to rate and review using your podcast app, as this helps other listeners find the show.

Om Podcasten

For writers and creatives with day jobs they enjoy. Marginally is about supporting and encouraging people for whom writing – and all forms of creative pursuit – is part of a full life, not the only life. We’re not trying to have it all, but we do have a lot to do. We have day jobs, caring responsibilities, and other life commitments that are important to us. Maybe we don’t aspire to write full time. Maybe we do. Maybe we are on a longer journey to that destination, and we’d like you to join us.
