You may think it’s outlandish but writing quotes for Instagram and other platforms is one way this writer earns more than $1,000 per hour! Think it’s not possible? Read on.

And today with the latest technology of programs like ChatGTP there’s no limit to what type of content you can create and how much you can earn.

Monetizing Your Words

Words matter. We’ve all heard the ‘sticks and stones…’ saying but we know in truth words carry tons of power. Words can help us, hurt us, drive us to action, and words can heal.

Big companies know this helps them to sell their products. And they pay the right people big money to create the right emotions to get behind them and target their audience.

Case in point. I had a call the other day from a tee shirt company in California looking for someone to write Inspirational quotes for them on Instagram. You wouldn’t think that an actual job existed for that, but it definitely does.

Those words we read every day on Instagram and social media and your favorite products and Big Pharma ads don’t just come out of nowhere. Someone actually gets paid to write them.

This could be you.

Content marketing and content creation has exploded in the last few years. According to analysts from Technavio, the industry is projected to be worth $412.88 billion in 2021.

Did you know that some companies and brands pay rates of over $1,000 per hour for short sayings and original quotes like ones you read every day? It almost seems unbelievable.

However, a woman named Laura Belgray who is the owner of talkingshrimp charges over $1,000 per hour.

Update! She now charges $1,450 per hour! Whaaat?

Now keep in mind that Laura has built up a business that has earned her a stellar reputation allowing her to command those rates from top firms.

Even if you don’t earn her rates, the fact is that major companies and corporations are PAYING big money for great copy and content that catches attention and vibes with their audience.

Read on to learn how you can make money as a freelance writer or content creator to grow a successful business and charge clients’ top rates to write quotes or build content on Instagram and other social media channels.

Don’t wait for permission to write quotes

Of course, anyone can publish quotes, develop content or be a ghostwriter these days especially with top writing tools.

People do it all the time on Amazon and on ibooks and other digital platforms and make a small bundle every single month!
