The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don’t have. – Woody Allen
So you are good at writing but when are you going to make money from your talent? Most often than not, hobby and profession don’t much. No matter how you tried to convince yourself that you are going to take journalism in college but what happens is that you may find yourself in a different career path later on. However, it is also true that what you insist will persist, so if you really like to write then you will find a way on how you can make money out of it.
How do you turn your talent into cash? Here are some ways to do it:
1. Cultivate self-trust.
Believe in what you can offer. This should be the first step if you like to turn your talent into cash and this should be the most important. Now is the time to own your talent and get away from the mentality of thinking that you are not good enough. Anyone who made it big in any arena in life is someone who first believed in his own capability. Practice the habit of calling yourself an “artist”. Forget about any insecurity and doubt that is eating your confidence.
2. Stop talking bad about your talent or how bad you are earning.
It is time to stay away from the thought that you are poorly making any cash or that you aren’t as good as the other writers around. Negativity has a great impact on how much you are earning, so you should give yourself the permission to start making big. Lock yourself away from negativity and start investing in some positive thoughts.

Every small accomplishment will help build confidence, so you can start small if you need to. Get everything organized too, including your plans.
4. Talent

Consider the fact that providing something you already know will allow you to make money easier.

Since talent tends to evolve once you use it often, then you will be comforted by the fact that you are earning while you are making yourself better.
