5x your online writing earnings in 1 month like me with 1 simple tweak
No, this isn’t like all those BS articles you read on this site making wild claims about making $1000s a day online in no time and with little effort.
Those who know my work and have been following my Publish Every Day project — an audacious strategy to leave commuter life behind within a year — know what’s up.
Making monster money online is hard, and it doesn’t happen overnight.
But it is possible to make huge strides toward your goals in a relatively short period of time (as I’ll show you day-by-day in a moment).
In fact, all I had to do was make one simple tweak and my online writing earnings went 5x in 1 month.
The secret strategy
Now I said the tweak was simple, not easy.
Here’s a look at my side hustle earnings (almost all of which is from writing) when I started vs. Day 30:
So as you can see, I made 5x more on Day 30 than I did on Day 1.
Here’s what that looks like in chart form:
Now, have you figured out my simple strategy yet?
My publication is called Publish Every Day.
My project is called Publish Every Day.
All these charts say Publish Every Day.
That’s right, my simple strategy to 5x my online writing earnings was to PUBLISH EVERY DAY.
At least one article (plus some YouTube videos and Substack and Twitter posts, but those are far less important and tiny contributors).
There’s a catch though.
A lot of people on this site publish every day, but they post 100-word garbage just to say they did.
That’s not what I’m talking about.
I’m talking about real content.
Each of my articles runs about 1,000 words, and I put effort into making sure people get value out of them.
And the monetary value I get in return?
It now takes me about 40 minutes to write a 1,000-word article.
I wrote 30 articles in those 30 days, which took me approximately 20 hours.
If you divide my total earnings by my time spent writing them, it means I made about $69/hour just for blogging.
Pretty nice, right?
Are you reading this and thinking, “Gee, writing 30 legit articles in 30 days sounds impossible.”
No, it’s not impossible, it just takes some effort.
And most people are unwilling to devote more than the bare minimum when it comes to pretty much anything.
But in terms of actually producing the work, it’s not that hard at all.
Here’s what you do:
Take 5–7 minutes to blurt out a bubble outline onto a sheet of paper. Seriously, put yourself on a timer. Here’s what one of mine looks like:
Reset your timer to 55 minutes. You are now on a deadline. Write until the timer runs out.
That’s it.
If you want to really dig into it, steal my strategy to write even faster. I explain it in the video below:
I’m willing to bet you can produce a decent 400-word article in that amount of time. The more you write, the faster you’ll write, and pretty soon that article length will keep extending.
“But I don’t have enough ideas for 30 article.”
Yes you do. Everyone is flooded with ideas every day. Watch my video below to see how I capture them:
“But I don’t have time for this.”
Well first of all, yes you do have time.
If I have time, you have time. Everyone has time.
And I would add: if you can’t even manage an hour a day to build an online business, why are you even thinking about building one? Why are you reading this article?
Go find the thousands of others on this site who will promise you millions for zero time and effort.
Let me put it another way: try one of their “methods”, then come back and try mine.
Put yourself on a 1-hour deadline to write one legitimate article per day and see which strategy gets you further.
Even if you don’t manage a 5x gain like me, you’ll be way ahead of where you started.
Now get to work!

You are a super fast writer, though.
I publish (or submit) every day, too -- at least, most days. But for me, there's no writing a 1,000-word article in 40 minutes.
Most of my work is ghostwritten for paying clients, and many of my clients are academics, healthcare professionals and the SaaS crowd. I can't just write that stuff off the top of my head; it takes legit research to write for their audiences. I typically spend a few hours every week just reading science journals and abstracts from medical research. And it generally takes me 2-4 hours to produce an article of up to 1,000 words.
What I'm doing pays better upfront than what you're doing. But, if you still own the copyright on your articles, and you have systems in place to keep them earning you passive income in the long term, what you're doing sounds like a smarter and more sustainable long-term approach.
Thanks for this. Can I ask where the income comes from for those daily articles? Is that from
Medium?
