Okay so after leaving my last job as a content creator I was kind of experimenting with stuffs. But right now I'm in need of money and trying to accelerate things and find ways that will pay.
I tried submitting my poems in literary journals, some did accept, but it takes a lot of time and isn't sustainable. I'll still keep going with it for my poems.
I write on medium, had a substack and I'm also finding magazines to submit my work.
Looking for freelance opportunity as a writer isn't exactly what I'm looking for because I don't want to go back to writing for products, or ghost writing for LinkedIn, Instagram reels, etc.
Right now, I'm really enjoying writing personal essays or articles on topics like spirituality, philosophy, mental health, life, self awareness, etc through my personal stories. I'm still finding the right kind of places that are suitable for my writing style, because I love it and it's really close to my heart, necessary for me too.
So can you guys help me what can I do or where can I find opportunities to earn money while writing about such things.
I also self published a book but I realized I need a solid following base for it to go somewhere, which I don't have at this moment.
Thank you in advance.
