The secret to success in making money as a writer comes down to consistency. I have published over 3,000 articles on the web over the last five years for platforms like LegalMatch and FindLaw, as well as countless private law firm and agency clients. I’ve also published 10 books on Amazon KDP.

As a writer, I think I inherently gravitated towards large language models. Using AI to master voice and level of output can help me turn in more assignments and generate more income.
