I am a Stay-At-Home Writer
It is not for everyone

It requires work.

Here is how I am doing it

I subscribe to Medium.com and receive an income when I upload stories on their platform.

I publish PAY-TO-READ stories on their platform as the ShortClipWriter.

I publish Fiction and Personal Fiction.

My stories are placed behind a paywall. 

It requires a membership fee to read the stories.

Non-subscribers will see the first few words of my stories. Beyond that, they will receive a popup showing a sign-up screen.

After joining, they can read the rest of my story.

Those who opt-in and pay a fee can read as many articles as they wish, for the next month.

They can also choose an annual fee for the next 12 months of reading.

A small portion of their subscription fee goes to me when they read one of my stories on the platform.

When I read the work of other writers on the platform, they earn an income from my membership fee.

Medium.com is a community of readers supporting online Medium writers.

It is ad-free.

Readers can concentrate on reading, not dodging flashing ads.

I also have Free-2-Read tutorials under another handle.

That is where I publish my work in front of a paywall.

Anyone with an internet connection can read my work and I do not earn an income. 

The reader is not asked to sign up or pay a fee.

Here is my goal

I am making tutorials for Stay-At-Home Writers.

The tutorials cover the tools I learned to use when creating online content to publish on Medium.

I will share my learning experience on how I learned to use the tools that I found.

My experience

My first two years of publishing stories have taught me an important lesson about being an online writer.

I learned that I must be willing to sit in the writer's chair. 

I must establish a regular schedule. 

I must set a weekly goal to improve the quality of each story that I publish.

In addition, I have the freedom to take as long as I want. 

Have you heard this story?

A visitor to New York saw a person playing the guitar on a street corner.

When the music stopped, the tourist placed money in the tip basket and asked, “Hey man, how did you learn to play that guitar so good?”

With a smile, the artist replied, “Practice — Practice — Practice.  You must be willing to do it when the cold winds are blowing and everything looks bleak.”

Are you ready

You can start today and be the writer you want to be, or wait until you retire. 

You can do it little by little and go slow. You can build a writing career stress-free.

Or do as I did, wait for retirement before working on a second career as a writer.

If you dream of being a Stay-At-Home Writer, come on along and learn the basics today. 

I will pass along all of the writing tips I have learned. 

I will continue searching for more information and publishing ideas to help boost your writing skills and income.
