How I made almost a crore in 6 years as a writer
I got an IT job in 2016. Left in 6 months. Then studied and got a govt. bank. Left in 1 month due to high pressure which I couldn't stand and dangerous customers in a village.
In Feb 2019, I found Sportskeeda, a sports website in India. I started writing for it and my articles were approved immediately. In a week, they contacted me and asked if I wanted to join the official team. I said yes.
In March, I got paid 15k. I was so happy. And then it began. For the next 6 years, I was a part of their Revenue sharing program. Basically, whatever revenue an article of mine generates, some will go to SK and some goes to me.
If an article got good views, it could feth you hundreds of dollars for just 10 mins. of work. I had hundreds of such high-performing articles and news stories.
At the peak in 2021, my monthy salary used to be about 1.5 lakh. The highest in these 6 years was 2.75 lakh sometime in 2022.
Some time ago, Google flagged SK and the articles stopped performing. I somehow lasted for a few more months before leaving. I had made almost a crore (90-92 lakh) over the past 6 years.
I'll always be grateful to SK for this. I paid my MBA loan of 7 lakhs. I bought a lot of stuff for myself, and went to trips as well.
