According to a writer, earning a full-time income requires setting a goal of at least $100,000 per year, which translates to a six-figure income.
Breaking down the target into manageable chunks, the writer suggests planning to work 50 weeks a year and aiming to earn $2,000 per week.
Effective time management is also essential, as the writer emphasizes the importance of minimizing distractions and staying focused on the task at hand.
For instance, instead of wasting time driving to a stationery supply shop, the writer suggests managing time better by posting outgoing mail in bulk once a week.
Additionally, the writer stresses the need for an efficient filing system and staying organized to easily find and access necessary information.
When it comes to typing speed, the writer claims to be able to write 100 words per minute but assumes an average of 80 words per minute, allowing for 1 hour to type a 1,000-word article.
However, the writer notes that typing speed alone is not enough and that analysis and research are also crucial components of the writing process.
Ultimately, the writer believes that earning a six-figure income as a writer is possible with the right mindset, planning, and execution.
