Good sellable fictional story should be 90,000 pages or more, do a good cover page, edit and publish on Amazon and the likes, put a price tag, if its good like u said then you'll surely get a good returns and maybe even a movie deal and more

I can't believe I'm still broke after all the efforts I have put in to making money both online and offline. May be because I'm not following my God's gifted talent. Among others I can do, I can write fictional stories a great deal. The inspiration comes naturally always. Right now, I can develop up to 100 stories that can be scripted into blockbuster movies. Also, I have written not fewer than 500 short stories for comedy skits. Most of these stories, if even just one of them is shot into comedy video has the potential to bring the actors to limelight. Financing all these stuff is my problem hence the need for this thread. I wouldn't mind selling some of them to interested stories.

I know you're frustrated and dejected, but fiction writing isn't a route to wealth. If you do it for financial gain, chances are you'll fail. If you do it out of love and a desire to see your work out there in the world, success will come as a necessary consequence.

I have been thinking about this. But in what specific ways can one make money from making the short videos?
Although, I don't know but posting videos on YouTube, goes along way and to my knowledge, I believe youtube pays when u upload videos but don't know how to go about it. Also u need to market yourself maybe get one or two upcoming actors and start up with something.

Writing creative literature is not an easy task. Kudos to you. Are your books properly edited for themes, settings, language, style, characters/characterisation, plot structure etc?
Do you read stories and books by other writers especially award winning literary works from Commonwealth Writers Prize, Caine Prize etc?
Do you send your stories to online literary journals, magazines, sites for publication especially the free ones?
Do you attend any program online/offline to develop your skills in the field of writing?
For the skits, you can use a good phone to shoot some skits, I know a person who started his movies making career that way 2 years ago, today he is shooting a standard movie. More importantly, pray as the spiritual has influence on the physical.

The journey of a writer does not promise fortune and fame especially fortune. Do it for the passion. Leverage self publishing platforms such as Amazon KDP, Okada books and Co. to put out your work.

90,000 pages

If one is not a weight-lifter, reading a 90,000 page book will be out of the question, unless you have access to hydraulic equipment to lift up the book while you are reading.

I have a friend
Who's into fiction writing as well

He's also a publisher
Amazon bestseller

He's also a marketer, you know
Pushing people's work across his social media community
And the last book he wrote was published in the UK

Anyway, all I'm saying is that he might be able to help you
So if you are interested, quote me
I'd give you my number so I can refer you personally

Good luck

As a fiction writer and someone who has written over 500 short stories, you can make good money online and offline.

For online sales of your books /short stories, you can visit the following sites okadabooks.com or even use the free services of Draft2digital. Draft2digital will post your book across multiple international stores and you will receive you pay via Payoneer which you can cashout with ease on Kuda banking application.

The link below is one of my short stories published on draft2digital. Follow the link to see the number of international stores where it has been made available for instant purchase.

https://books2read.com/Stolen-Victory-Mary-Slessor-Vs-The-Calabar-Tribes

Create your own draft2digital account using my ref link: https://www.draft2digital.com/nicewoody69 after which you can proceed to make a universal link for your own book on books2read.com

You can access my books on okadabooks via this link https://okadabooks.com/search?query=Ugeh

Below are some of my other books also published on draft2digital

https://books2read.com/Princess-Inikpi-A-fearless-Victim-of-Death-and-War (Available in 10 stores - click the link to see)
https://books2read.com/Demystifying-The-Benin-Bats (Available in 9 stores)
https://books2read.com/Haunted-by-my-past-1 (Available in 11 stores)

Having said this, hard copies sell faster in Nigeria. Most people only buy when they see. Nigerians rarely seek books online.

If you want to learn how to sell hard copies, you can send me an email or drop your email and i will contact you.

I'd you are interested, I am also a writer and video director but also broke like you... I have a YouTube channel where I shoot and upload short films, if you are interested we can work together, give me content and I shoot and upload...


There is no money to it yet because the channel is still growing but if you are interested and can be dedicated then we can work together. By the way, I don't do comedy, I do horror, mystery, romance, any other genre except comedy
