As a service provider, you have to know what your market needs and what the trends in that market are. In today's market, brands are looking for writers who can not only develop compelling content but who also have experience producing content that has been optimized for search engines.

This means that if you want to make money as a writer, you need to be willing to continuously learn about your field and its changing demands. In addition, you must be able to produce high-quality work on a schedule that meets or beats your client's expectations.

There are many ways for a writer to make money. You can write for newspapers and magazines, or you can write books, or you could go into copywriting.

One of the best ways to get started is by blogging. If you're good at writing, you could get paid to write on a blog—but only if it's really good. So how do you know if your blog is good enough? Here are some tips:

Make sure your spelling and grammar are perfect, because that's a huge turn-off for readers.

Try putting yourself in the shoes of your potential readers. What would they want? What are they looking for? How can you give it to them? Those are questions that will help keep you on track.

Writing is a very lucrative profession. Once you have acquired the skill and you know your ways you in this century you can make handsome income.

The skill is acquired by learning and practice. One can learn by attending courses online or by staying and learning closely from a prolific writer.

Even though one can learn some patterns by reading but without actually engaging into the writing itself, the learning is incomplete. That is where consistency comes into play.

Inasmuch as you are a writer, writing consistently refines you and brews out the best out of you. And being the best gives you an edge over other your counterparts.

The next important thing is knowing what to write, where to write and for whom to write. The importance cannot be overemphasized.

Knowing what to write is important and it is drafted from your knowledge of where you are writing and the audience you are writing to. Where you are writing entails: are you writing a book? Are you writing for a website? And many more. This is very important point to put into consideration while writing because it defines the pattern of your write-up. The knowledge of the audience you intend to write is very critical as well.

In essence, when we know how to write, what to write, where to write and for whom to write and we will make incredible income

A writer is a person or an individual who is able to use words or makes good use of diction to capture the attention of reader or the audience. We have many renowned writers in my country, who have made an impact and also a trademark for their identity globally. The likes of; Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, Femi Osofisan, Buchi Emecheta, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie are all reputable writers on different genres of literature. Those writers enlisted are professionals, reputable and they all have their unique style and writing perspective. Chinua Achebe's tone and choice of diction is simple and easy to comprehended by a lay man but Wole Soyinka dwells in verbosity and use of words that you have to refer to the dictionary before you can comprehend a message. If you read the works of Wole Soyinka, you would notice that he enjoys using satire as a major way to expose some societal ills but the likes of Achebe would write more about the supremacy of some cultures and traditions. The likes of Ngozi Adichie comes with a whole new dispensation and she stands as a voice to the depressed African woman an women across all the globes of the world. She kicks against misogyny and dominancy. In making money as a writer, you need to identify your niche of interest and focus on it but I recommend sites like; Novelcat and Novelstar if you are versatile in romance genre.
