 How to become a successful writer?


Writing is, more than anything else, a form of communication. And, it’s one where you are 

able to communicate through words. So, if writing is all about communication, then writing 

is also all about communicating through it. That’s why the ability to write well is very 

important in life. It can help people to express themselves in their own unique way and 

convey their thoughts to others easily. If this is your calling as a writer, then here’s how to 

become a successful writer.

1. Choose Your Niche (Before You Write)

First of all, before you start writing anything at all, you need to clearly decide what type of 

writing you want to be. Do you want to be an essayist, or do you want to write romance 

stories? Are you going to be serious or funny? Most importantly, do you want to make 

money out of your work? Here are some questions that will help you determine what kind 

of writing you want to do for yourself. For example: who are my friends? What do I like to

watch on TV? Who I would like to meet? Where do I want to live? What kinds of jobs do 

they have? What kinds of hobbies do they have? In short, it doesn’t matter which niche you 

choose; just focus on what interests you the most.

2. Build Up Your Resilience

Besides choosing your niche, another very important decision you need to make is whether 

you want to build up your resilience or not. As we know, sometimes when you feel 

uncertain about something you try to avoid doing or do things that bring uncertainty into 

your future. However, building your resilience is completely different from avoiding the 

thing that makes you feel unsure. Think about it; when you choose to avoid something and 

even go ahead with it, you may eventually end up feeling a little bit guilty, but in the long 

run, this makes you stronger because you can handle such pain. On the contrary, when you 

create situations that cause you doubts and put you on the edge of negative emotions, your 

chances of failure are much higher. So what does this mean? Building your resilience means 

that you need to overcome those feelings so that you can find the strength to keep moving 

forward.

3. Find Out Whether You Have The Right Mindset

A great way of knowing whether this might be the right path for you is by asking yourself 

some question. For example: what kind of books do most of my friends usually read? What 

magazines do they usually buy? And, how often do they think about themselves? These are 

all clues that show whether you are ready to pursue your dream job like being a writer. 

Another way of determining whether it might be possible for you to write for a living is that 

you find out whether or not you have that special book-type mindset. This mindset is, 

according to psychologists, thinking positively about something you are actually working 

on. Try to see for yourself if you’re able to think well under these circumstances.

4. Learn About Yourself

As mentioned earlier, the quality of knowledge you obtain in this particular field of study is 

very crucial. By learning about yourself, you’ll learn how good writing can be developed 

into something greater and better. But how do you achieve this? First things first; try to 

consider your strengths and weaknesses. Once you have done that, you should start 

comparing yourself with each other. Based on this comparison, you can take certain steps 

towards achieving success in becoming a successful writer.

5. Focus On Getting Results

So, if you’re a writer already, then congratulations! At least now it’s easier to set goals and 

start working towards them. Even though you already have your goal, it’s still important to 

get the results if you want to continue following this career path. After all, once your goal 

becomes real, don’t forget to celebrate! Also remember to treat yourself every once in a 

while because that goes a long way toward improving your confidence and self-esteem. 

Above all, when you’re ready, you’ll look back on all this time that was wasted on nothing 

and find satisfaction in yourself because you worked hard for whatever you achieved.

All in all, there is no point trying to become a writer if you don’t have any desire to. You 

should remember that there are many types of writing that don’t come with the necessary 

level of challenge and competition. That’s it: the sky is the limit for any type of person. Just 

follow your dreams, give it everything that you have, and always stay positive because 

sometimes, you will face failure and setbacks along the road as opposed to quitting or 

giving up. But, at the end of the day, regardless of what happens, remember that you’re 

only human, and you’d love to go home.
