Guide to learn how to make money writing from home:
There is no universal guide to guarantee success but it is important to keep in mind some points before you start.
1. Sign up for an online services platform
Nowadays there are many places where you can offer your services. There are some that are only written to write and others that offer different services and among them the subject of writing.
Our advice when it comes to how to make money writing is that you analyze the different platforms and that you register in the one that catches your attention the most. Another option is that you register in several and then decanted by which you see that more work gives you.
It is important to choose one since normally, depending on the work you do, you can go up in level and gain benefits. Therefore, the earlier you opt for one, the more long-term benefits you will have.
Among the benefits of focusing on one, you will be charged fewer commissions, you can make more articles, they will pay you more or they will show you before in the ads and you will have more clients.

2. When you put the price, analyze the other’s
Many platforms will directly price you. For example, Textbroker tells you what they pay you for each word and in Upwork it is the buyer who puts your budget.
However, in Fiverr or Freelancer, you are the one who puts the price of your service. At that time it is important, if you just start, analyze what price is the other sellers have.
If for example one of those in the first place sells 2 articles of 300 words for $ 5, you can put the same ad, or one similar: 350 words for $ 5.
Of course, we advise you to put an economic price at the beginning to get customers and have reviews and then, once you offer some confidence, raise your price a little. Do not forget to rate your work.
3. After a while: work outside the platforms
The websites of services are essential to get to know you, get customers and learn how to earn money by writing, however, they take a considerable commission.
Even sometimes you can get to lose money with the change of currency. So, if you have the opportunity, propose to your regular clients to work outside of it.
If you do this, make sure you receive a payment before writing. Or at least half of it. The platforms ensure your money, but if you work independently no one assures you that they will pay you.
4. Make quality content
One of the reasons why they can stop commissioning your articles is because the content is not quality.
Remember that a quality content is not a super professional content, but a content that is unique, that is written well grammatically and that you notice that it is written with consistency.
Finally, you are recommended to pass your texts through a plagiarism website to verify that it is 100% original.
Finally remember that, how to make money writing, and turn this work into an interesting source of income, it is about starting. Nothing great will happen if you do not take the first step.
In the beginning, it may be difficult to get your first customers, but with consistency and quality content, you can have a good reputation and therefore, good results.
T.C. Stallings (“War Room”) suffered a string of unimaginable tragedies this season, which led to the release of his new docufilm, “24 Counter: The Story BEHIND the Run.”
The film follows the life of the former football player turned Christian actor. Viewers will journey through his life from growing up in a dangerous, low-income neighborhood, the impact that upbringing had on his life and how it fueled his career.
“His opportunity came through football, but Tony’s struggles were far from over. A position change, injury, and a huge spiritual wake-up call are only the beginning. His childhood dream and new-found faith are about to be tested like never before,” the film’s synopsis reads.
The award-nominated documentary became available via On Demand on June 30.
The following is an edited transcript of The Christian Post’s interview with Stallings where he shares his testimony of how the Holy Spirit enabled him to release a film while in one of the hardest seasons of his life.
Christian Post: You adapted your new film from your book, Playing on God’s Team. Can you share about it?
Stallings: Me and my wife joke about this because we call it a docu-mony [documentary/ testimony]. I think we might’ve invented that word. It’s a documentary about my testimony about how I came to know the Lord. It just happened at a time where I was in college playing college football, around my sophomore year. The story was so inspiring and I wanted to make sure that people knew it, especially athletes.
It started off as a book that I wrote called Playing on God’s Team, where I was targeting athletes who I know are in the locker rooms just like I was having to deal with having a strong faith while still being in college, while still being an athlete and all the temptations that come along with that. So it started off as just that. Then when I realized that a team by definition is just a collection of people coming together for a common goal, I started to think, “Well, Christians are a collection of Christ followers coming together for the common goal of telling people about Jesus.
So I realized this book is for everybody. So I started sharing the book with everybody. Then because I lead off in the book with telling my story, I decided to go ahead and open up that testimony with pictures and video. I’m like, “You know what, let’s just make this into a documentary of my testimony so that people can see it.” The movie is like sitting there having a cup of coffee with me and you asked me, “TC, tell me about yourself, how did you come to know the Lord?” I get to tell you, and meanwhile, all these pictures and videos are popping up over top of my head.
CP: You’ve gone on to accomplish great things despite growing up in a rough neighborhood and in poverty. Can you share words of advice for anyone out there that feels hopeless because of their life’s circumstances?
Stallings: As I look at what’s going on right now, as a 42-year-old man, everything that I’ve learned over the years that the Lord has taught me, and then I go back to Cleveland now, I’m a young kid, and I live in a world that we live in right now, what would I be able to tell myself is that none of this is surprising God. None of this is outside of His strengths. None of this is something where I can’t pray to Him and ask Him what to do in the midst of it. If I was a young kid right now, if I was anybody right now, my thing would be, “Lord, I know you have a plan, this ain’t surprising you, what is my role within these times that we living in?” Then I will be able to obey and let the Holy Spirit lead me. If there are painful moments, well, if the Lord is leading, then I know I can call that ordained pain, this is what He planned for me to go through. Then that means He’s going to strengthen me to be able to get out of it.
For me, growing up, I didn’t even know exactly all the things that I know now. But then that’s the other great thing about God’s mercy, His grace, because here I am as a kid, living in a tough neighborhood, living in poverty, living around gangs, didn’t have my dad, all the ingredients to where you don’t succeed in life. But God had a plan at that time. I’m thinking football got planted in my heart as just a means out of a neighborhood where He was like, “Ah, in about 10-12 years, you’re going to come head on with Me. I’m going to use football to get you to come see Me, and I’m going to change your life.” So He has a plan regardless of what’s going on in our world.
CP: Can you expound more on the term ordained pain?
Stallings: One of my favorite scriptures is Psalms 139:16, “You saw me before I was born, every day of my life was recorded in your book, every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.” That became one of my favorite scriptures because I’m like, “Wait a minute, that means that God, before I was born, laid out what He wanted me to do. So I’m like, “How do I explain the bad times? Did God actually plan out some rough spots in my life?” Absolutely. You can look at Job you can look at all these people, where God’s like, “You know what Satan, I’m going to let you touch him. But that’s because I got a plan that’s going to bring Me glory.” That’s ordained pain.
When I have mistakes in my life that I made on my own due to my sin, that’s TC pain. I don’t want that. If I’m going to have some troubles and struggles, then I want the ones that are promised to me in Scripture, “In this life you will have trouble. But take heart I’ve overcome the world.” That’s ordained pain. Anyone who wants to live a godly life will be persecuted. That’s ordained pain. These are promises that we skip over sometimes. But if we lean into that and grow from it, then God will get the glory. So I’m all about that ordained pain. I don’t sign up to be hurt. I ain’t no tough guy. But if God puts me on that path, I’m all for it because I know He’s got a reason for it.
CP: The times are pretty chaotic right now. There’s a pandemic, social unrest, racial injustice, what do you think about your movie coming out in the middle of all this?
Stallings: Well, this is another thing that I’m inspired about because when I really did work on this, it was during right when COVID-19 began. I’m an actor, everything that I normally do got shut down, you’re not able to do anything within the industry. I public speak. Well, you can’t speak in public. Literally, everything I do got shut down. So I’m sitting in my home and then we got quarantine, nobody can leave and go anywhere. So you’re just sitting here and just like I’ve never experienced anything like this in my life.
Then on April 15, my mother died from COVID-19. Then four weeks later, my grandmother died, her mother. So all of this is happening and I pray, “Lord, this is really painful, but I got a bunch of siblings. Some of them don’t know the Lord, some do. I have a responsibility for them.” The Holy Spirit literally held me up so that I can stay strong and do what I need. It ain’t TC strength, straight up the Holy Spirit. And it was during this moment that I leaned into this project and got it done.
So I wanted people to ask me when did this happen? What has happened at a time where I could have bogged up and cry … and that would have been fine if the Holy Spirit didn’t have a bigger vision for me at the moment. So during this pandemic, I reached out to my family and did the best I could for them, got through two funerals, and knocked out a documentary that will tell people how good God is in my life. I did it at that time, not when everything was great, I did it when everything was hurting. If you’re not inspired by that alone, just understand this — you don’t have to do what everybody else is doing. You don’t know how to handle it. You can literally say to yourself, “Lord, even in this, what purpose do you have for me? What do you want me to do?” So that’s how I handled the racism. That’s how I handled COVID-19. That’s how I handled anything whether we’re dealing with as I’m like, Lord, what’s your purpose in this? And then He showed me what it is.
The only other thing I would add to that is, a lot of people have to understand that’s why we got to continue to read Scripture, that you need to look at Scripture and see that this shouldn’t be shocking us that this is happening. While everybody’s running around, trying to find solutions to stop it and end it, it’s one of those things where it’s like, “I need to play my role within it” because the Bible promises that times will get like this. We have to operate within it, pull those out of it that want to come to Jesus and be pulled out of it. But the rest is going to happen. It’s actually a sign that Jesus is on His way. So I’m just using Scripture to navigate through all of this and I’ll continue to do it and birthed out of that came this docu-mony and anything else the Lord wants me to do.
CP: Can you talk more about your loss?
Stallings: During the funerals, we couldn’t even get into Ohio to be at a funeral. So I had to watch it on TV, both of them. They sent me a picture of my mom and all my siblings have it. This happened April 15. Then my grandmother died just four weeks later. It was like, you can sit there and just let this stuff beat you up. Or you can be like, “Lord, how can you get glory out of this?” We always talk about the peace that surpasses understanding. Well, you can’t display that if you never get put in situations you don’t understand. A lot of us talk about being a Christian but this is the part of it that people don’t focus on enough is when people see you fight through pain, when people see you make it through stuff that they’re dealing with too, but they don’t quite have the strength to do it. You’re like, “Hey, neither do I. This is what it looks like when you let the Holy Spirit lead and give you the strength to get through it.”
I can talk about that peace that surpasses understanding because again, everything I’m doing came out of it. I’ve been waiting to just fall apart and just break down and cry and just all that I keep thinking is going to happen. I’ve dreamed about my mother almost every day. But what keeps happening is “the longer I hold you up, you can be there for your family, you can be there for anybody who wants to hear about this, you can show them the peace that surpasses understanding. Instead of just constantly sharing scriptures about it, let me let you live it out” — which is the essence of the docu-mony. Everything I talk about in my life, now you get to see through documentation through real video. I can tell you this. Somebody loses their mom, their grandmother, their livelihood, all of their opportunity, everything shuts down and they still say, “Yet well, I trusted Him. Alright, I think I want the peace of God like that,” versus me falling off and just letting Satan have his way with me. So I hope that’s what people get out of it.
The film is dedicated to Stallings’ mother as he shared on Instagram.
True Story Of Mom Who Predicted Her Own Death During Labor And Survived Because Of It
Everybody thought Stephanie Arnold was losing it when the mom predicted her own death. Pregnant with her second child, Stephanie didn’t just know she’d die during her c-section. She saw it in vivid detail. And to everyone’s surprise, the mom’s eerie premonitions came true. Here’s the story of how she lived to tell about it!
In a world bent on hard facts and research, dreams and visions are often dismissed as mere fantasy. But sometimes, God uses visions for a specific purpose. And when Stephanie began receiving clear and distinct premonitions about her death, it was actually so she could save her life. And her true story, while bizarre, is also incredibly inspirational!
Mom Predicted Her Own Death While Pregnant
During her second pregnancy, Stephanie suddenly started having vivid and frightening premonitions. From them, she knew she was going to die during childbirth. And she even knew specific details about her death.
“Not only am I going to die, I’m going to need a hysterectomy, I’m going to hemorrhage, these organs are going to combine, I’m going to be put under general anesthesia,” she said. “The baby’s going to be fine and I’m going to be dead on the operating table.”

Stephanie had given birth before and had already been through a c-section. So, she knew this wasn’t a case of nerves over the unknown. Something else was going on — something she couldn’t explain.
The visions had her so convinced, she started telling everyone about her impending death. They all brushed her fears off, including her husband, and even started worrying about the mom’s mental state.
Still, Stephanie kept sharing her premonitions with everyone, including medical staff. And through that, God led her to the right person!
Preparing For The Worst
Stephanie remained vocal about her concerns. She talked to friends and family, as well as her doctors and nurses. She even went so far as to call up the anesthesiologist who was lined up to put her under for the scheduled c-section.
For what probably felt like the thousandth time, Stephanie explained to the anesthesiologist the horrible things she knew were coming. Like all the other medical staff, the technician replied to her concerns by explaining the procedure, assuring Stephanie that she’d be just fine.
From Stephanie’s end, this call felt like all the others. Another person dismissing her visions and fears as an overly-anxious, hormonal pregnant woman. But this time, something was different.
After hanging up with Stephanie, something didn’t sit right with the anesthesiologist. Even though Stephanie’s predictions sounded so far-fetched, this doctor decided to take some extra precautions.
“After we hung up, feeling like she didn’t help me, she flagged my file and incorporated extra blood in a crash cart in the operating room,” Stephanie said.
Of course, we now know the anesthesiologist’s feeling that “something wasn’t quite right” was a prompting from the Holy Spirit. Because those extra precautions added after the call with Stephanie, ended up saving the mom’s life!
Mom Predicted Her Own Death And It Saved Her Life
When the day of Stephanie’s c-section arrived, she knew all of her visions were about to come true. Still, no one believed her.
Stephanie gave birth that day to her son Jacob. He came into this world healthy. And moments after his arrival, Stephanie flatlined.

Just as she’d predicted, Stephanie died on the operating table. She suffered an amniotic fluid embolism, a rare and often fatal condition where amniotic cells get into the mother’s bloodstream. If the mom happens to be allergic, her body goes into a type of anaphylaxis.
This is what was happening to Stephanie. After flatlining, the next phase of the reaction was Stephanie’s body going into DIC — the body’s inability to clot blood.
“If you don’t have the tools for the crash cart. . . you’re not going to make it,” Stephanie explained.
