Aspire To Think Big
By Amy N. Johnson
I made this podcast to help writers that are struggling to break onto the online writing scene and may be held back by questions like: what apps should I upload my work to, how can I monetize my content, how do I build a fanbase from zero? And so on.
Having written online and experimented with various writing apps since 2012, I have learned a few things about what to do, what not to do, who to trust, and who to avoid.
And it'll all be talked about in this podcast.

14 | Not Every Deal Is A Good Deal (We Spillin' Tea)
I'm sure you've heard the saying that not every deal is a good deal... Well, in this episode, I'm going over bad deals that I made with shady companies that YOU should avoid (warning: I rant A LOT), and I'm also talking about some W's that I managed to take this year. This episode is less writing advice but more so me catching you guys up to speed on what I've been doing since I took a lil break from uploading over here.
