I have been working hard this last week to finalize my writing business system for 2024. Why so early? I decided I should have this set in stone before January 1, especially as a writer in 2024.
Thankfully, I had focused time on finalizing my plans for 2024, and I thought I would share them with you to help give you an idea of what they look like.
Let’s jump right in…
Capture: Daily Content Creation
*DISCLAIMER: I create a lot of content in bulk, so it is easy to create and publish content daily on multiple platforms.*
As a writer in 2024, I will create daily content on Medium, X, and Instagram. This content will be created to capture followers and email subscribers for my three writing niches. It will be a lot of short-form content and some repurposed content.
Another source of daily content will be found with Self-Publishing Daily. This is a Monday through Friday atomic email that shares the best self-publishing content I can find, and it will highlight self-published authors and books.
This content will point people to my weekly content found on Substack.
Focus: Weekly Content Creation
I will write three weekly posts on my Substack Publications: J.R. Heimbigner, Coffee with Jesus, and A Thriving Life Publication. These will be long-form posts that will be repurposed to Medium, too.
More in-depth content (like this post) will often point toward my books and products found on Amazon, Gumroad, and Payhip. In 2024, Coffee with Jesus will be my only substitute with a paid option.
All of this content will contribute and move toward products and books.
Projects: Books and Products
I am to expand my book catalog on Amazon a great deal. Currently, I have nine published books, a journal, and a planner. I aim to double my offerings on Amazon with low content, medium content, and longer books.
I also plan to package some great information I have found and experienced regarding my niche writing areas. As these come together, I will sell them on the available platforms.
It seems like a complicated system. However, it is completely set up now.
Final Thoughts on Being a Writer in 2024
I know that creating under three niches is a crazy idea. However, I’ve found that much of this content will start in a long-form format and can be broken down into shorter pieces for the different platforms.
I also plan to use a lot of the long-form content to build the books and products over time, so it isn’t creating a ton of new content every week.
And because I do batch-create a lot of my content, the idea is to build up several articles and posts every week in case something comes up. The other nice thing is I have a bit more margin to do this, which I haven’t had over the last couple of years.
All that to say, I know it is ambitious, but it is possible.
