I tried this side-hustle for around 6 months before realizing it didn’t fit well with my skillset. Though I enjoy creating books that can help people’s lives, I’m not a good illustrator or designer. Creating a cover takes me more than a day, and the results are mediocre at best.

Moreover, good analytical skills are a must for this side-hustle. Niche and keyword research are what can make or break your book. After all, you can publish the most gorgeous and helpful low-content book and still get no sales if no one sees it.

For example, the image below is a planner I published in late 2020. It’s a planner and a goal-setting journal that considers different dimensions of the reader’s life.

Besides the cover, I had to design the interior and create some prompts to help the reader make the most of this planner (h...

KDP Low-Content Books

My mind was blown when I learned you can publish books on Amazon’s KDP program with almost no content.

Low content books are paperback books like journals, planners, sketchbooks. Books you can create and publish on Amazon KDP in less than a day. Books that provide the reader with guided con...

Radish Fiction

We often think Wattpad is the only place for those who enjoy chapter-by-chapter fiction writing. The problem, though, is that it pays little-to-no money.

But Radish Fiction is another story (pun intended). Like Wattpad, it’s a mobile reading app ...

In comparison, writing on this platform has been a completely different experience as a content creator. Because I love writing and have been doing it for more than a decade, being consistent, learning, and pivoting has been exciting.

One thing I’ve learned after trying more than six side-hustles in 3 years is that finding the right fit is crucial for success.

On my first attempt, I created an online print-on-demand t-shirt store and sold zero products in 4 months (that hurt). Based on solid advice found on this platform...

The first step to content creator success, then, is to try several side-hustles for some time (between 3–6 months) to check their fit.

Whether YouTube, this platform, Radish Fiction, or KDP low-content books, they all have the potential to make you more than four figures a month. And though...

In my case, I published a romance story in 2019, and even now, almost two years later, I’m still earning money—real passive income.

I haven’t written more on Radish because I’ve decided to pursue the traditional publishing path for my new books. However, I believe it’s an amazing opportunit...

When writing a story, you decide whether you want it to be free, paid, or a hybrid, the last being the one most authors opt for because it helps them have a bigger reach while also getting money. Radish pays every three months as long as you earn a minimum of 50 dollars.
