Rating: 5 stars
Most freelance journalists are unaware that they already have a ready resource for passive income.
“This is perhaps the biggest key to passive income: Recognizing yourself not only as a beat writer, but as an expert in your field. … All you have to do is figure out what they (your audience) want the most and then organize a painless way for them to get it. Then, you just need to get out of the way.”
The authors found five key principles in the creation of a passive income for a writer. By sharing these in five separate chapters they break down each into an easily understandable do-able plan of action. Each chapter opens up ideas to individualize to one’s own writing career.
“Success Stories from the Trenches” and “Your Next Steps” follow to reinforce the five tenets, with this helpful guide concluding with information about each of the authors with ways to connect with them.
This reviewer, who is a freelance journalist and author, now has a personal strategy to implement going forward from reading this book, confident that other writers will gain the same for their careers.
