\"3<\/a>Let\u2019s welcome back Lucy Reed<\/a> as she shares with us \u201c3 Steps Creative Writers Can Take to Create a Business.\u201d Enjoy!<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

As a creative writer, you probably love every ounce of what you do<\/strong>. That\u2019s great.<\/p>\n

Passion is one of the core foundations of launching a career that doesn\u2019t feel like work.<\/p>\n

But there are many steps you can take to transform what might be a hobby into an income stream for your family.<\/p>\n

Follow these steps on your own or get support.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For example, there\u2019s support to transform your writing hobby into a career from Beth Barany<\/a>, the editor-in-chief and founder of Writer\u2019s Fun Zone. She offers coaching and consulting for creative writers on how to turn your pen into a profession.<\/p>\n

\u201c… how to turn your pen into a profession.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Write a Business Plan
\n<\/b><\/h2>\n

You already know how to write creatively, but a business plan is a different beast altogether.<\/p>\n

Your business plan essentially outlines everything you need to know<\/strong> to get your business up and running.<\/p>\n

A business plan is also important to have if you plan to seek investors to fund your writing endeavors.<\/p>\n

Get Some Feedback
\n<\/b><\/h2>\n

You probably love every word that you\u2019ve written. But the hard truth is that does not make it a publication-worthy novel, short story, or screenplay.<\/p>\n

You have to get your words out in front<\/strong> of others to get feedback to see if it\u2019s marketable.<\/p>\n

Liminal Pages recommends using a small group of beta readers<\/a> to test the proverbial waters.<\/p>\n

Delve Into E-Commerce
\n<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re not sure how well your particular genre might sell, consider opening an online bookstore. (You can easily find items to sell<\/a> online or at your local thrift store.)<\/p>\n

Before you get started on e-commerce<\/strong>, however, look at online tools related to commerce<\/a> that offer content creation tools, analytics, insights, and other custom capabilities, such as payment processing.<\/p>\n

You also want to be able to manage your inventory and engage your customers with a shopping experience tailored to them.<\/p>\n

After a few sales<\/strong>, you should begin to see a pattern of what\u2019s most in-demand and what\u2019s not.<\/p>\n

Consider Your Writing Environment<\/b><\/h2>\n

Where do you do your best work? If you\u2019re not sure, you need to find somewhere where you feel the creativity flowing through your veins.<\/p>\n

Most writers find that they need silence<\/strong> for their brains to truly prioritize the task at hand.<\/p>\n

The Writing and Wellness blog explains<\/a> that silence restores your focus and can even help relieve anxiety and depression, which can leave you more emotionally available to write your manuscript.<\/p>\n

Get On the Web<\/b><\/h2>\n

Even if you prefer to pluck at paper and a keyboard and want nothing to do with e-commerce, you\u2019ll need a web presence.<\/p>\n

While you could pay someone to create a site for you, you can also build one online<\/a> using Wix, GoDaddy, or another drag-and-drop site builder. Make sure to include a biography and sample chapters of your upcoming releases.<\/p>\n

Let Go of Perfectionism
\n<\/b><\/h2>\n

While becoming a business person\/published author means that you have to present yourself professionally, you are in a creative field, and you don\u2019t always have to be perfect.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be so hard on yourself<\/a>, especially in the early days of publication.<\/p>\n

Remember, there\u2019s going to be rejection and acceptance throughout this journey, and you can\u2019t let the former overshadow the latter\u2026if you do, you may never want to write again.<\/p>\n

As a creative individual<\/strong>, you may not have the experience you need to truly move forward as a business professional.<\/p>\n

But the simple steps above, from moving into an e-commerce realm to writing a business plan and letting go of your idea of perfection can all help you gain the confidence you need to position yourself for future success.<\/p>\n
