However, there are some ways to make money from your poetry, short stories, and personal essays without changing your writing style. How much money you make as a writer is up to you.

Here are some ways to earn more.

1️⃣Submit short stories for money online

There are several places online, as well as offline, where you can submit your short stories for money.

You can self-publish your stories in paperback or e-book format without spending a dime.
