We all dream of making a living as writers on the internet.

Waking up, typing a thousand words, hitting publish, and calling it a day.

But this is 2025.

Times have changed.

AI can now generate blog posts, newsletters, and even sales pages in seconds. And businesses? They’re taking full advantage.

Let’s be real — if a company can save money by using AI instead of hiring a writer, they will.

So where does that leave us?

Are human writers becoming obsolete?

Not at all. But we do have to adapt.

The Writers Who Are Thriving in 2025

But that’s no longer the case. Algorithms have changed. Competition has skyrocketed. And passive income from writing on platforms has dried up.

If you want to make a living as a writer in 2025, there’s only one real path:

Sell.

Sell what?
