Writing millions of words, painting rhymes of poetry, imagining plots, forming personalities of people, describing sensually, the five senses that we have, if you enjoy doing all these, then without a shadow of a doubt makes you a writer. We always have an aspiration that one day our books would be published, make it into the bookstores or perhaps even the movie theatre. But if you are too lazy, or disorganised, there are many different ways to make money with your writing. Hey they don't really have to go to waste. If you love writing, then keep writing, but it doesn't always have to be organised. Mix it up. When people think about making money with writing. They always feel like, they have to publish a book, write an article for websites or blogs, but really, there are a lot of other ways for you to make an income with your writing. Like how Vexl33t did with their website. One way to mix up your writing to earn some cash is with greeting cards. Just purchase a textured card paper for about, what 50cents per piece? A little bit of youtube learning on how to use Photoshop, and voila! You've just created an art with words and paper that you could start selling online. But of course you would need to also learn to grasp the knowledge of handling social medias. They are like your leverage to be used for your products. A way to advertise. And maybe make a website such as this. Wix.com is a very convenient website maker, easy and yet quite sophisticated at the same time, which is able to make a beginner's website look professional. Check out our previous blog posts on what you can do with old greeting cards.

Vexl33t for now has just made their greeting cards, probably busy planning something more. But I'll let let you in on some more ways that you could do. Wood art. Ironing an image on a light surface wood. You could get these cut out woods in maybe your local art shop, or perhaps the hardware store. Or if you're too lazy to go window shopping outside, hey, just do it inside, online. They sell small cuts of wood on amazon which they sell for about $17 for a pack of 50. Which is quite affordable. Look it up on youtube on how to iron an image on the wood. It's really quite easy, but just make sure that you print your images darker than the usual, and don't forget the lacquer spray, it's a nice touch at the end, quite satisfying to see.

Another form of wood art is something a little bit more fun that plays around with fire and smell. Wood burning is a form of art that would take a little bit of practice to master, but the end result is quite an artsy one. Don't pressure yourself to make everything perfect at one go. Make mistakes - experiment.

Framing your poetry or your self-thoughts could also be a nice art to sell. Frame it with just the fonts, or maybe also with some graphic designs on the background. Sum up the price of paper, printing, framing, and you'll get your price. And you can make it in different sizes as well.

Other than that, if you'd like to go the extra mile, you could start a clothing line business. By using your self-written words, try to make cool and catchy designs, labels, and logos for your brand. This would probably require you to spend more cash, basically because t-shirt companies usually don't sell in low quantities, this means you would have to start off with bulk t-shirts. But if you perchance were to find affordable price, quality t-shirts with low quantity requirements, than that would be awesome. I haven't done enough sourcing to find this sort of deal. But I'm sure there are a few out there willing to sell in low quantities with still affordable price.

If printing your own t-shirts are just too pricey for you, than some small designs on stickers would also be cool. Make small designs on Photoshop, print it at the sticker shop, or buy your own sticker paper and print them yourself. Clear sticker paper is always cooler than the average yellow paper. You could print for about 50 pieces for about $4.70 online. If normal stickers aren't fun, make some car stickers as well. A good way to advertise as you cruise along the road. Perhaps give some out for free, or just sell them online. Some people just love getting free stickers.

So all of the above are some other ways your writing could be made into some form of an income. Again, social medias are really important, especially Instagram. Apparently the ratings on that one is quite high on the advertising chances compared to the other social medias. If you have more ideas, please, do let us know! Take it easy, stay calm and breathe, and do it with love. Don't rush now.
