this is a great point. writing doesn't have to be about getting rich at all...I think the point in the article was write about what you care about - then it will be a good outcome whether it makes money or not
that is awesome! Are you using a platform like Udemy or something on your own? I'm also curious if you are publishing courses in areas you are genuinely interested in or strictly doing for income?
If I did it strictly for income, I would have gone out of business long ago. I am an iOS developer and I teach iOS development.
I obviously don't love every aspect of it, but still. Income is not a good motivator, especially when you are on your own. You have to like most of what you do, including the business side. I do write code, but most of my time is spent on text for articles, courses, emails, sales pages and video transcripts.
Regarding the technology, I use Wordpress with a couple of plugins. On Udemy you have to compete with a ton of low-priced low-quality stuff and you have no way to differentiate yourself from that.
No, but I will. Thanks for the recommendation! Currently I'm reading Mark Jeavons -
