You can get paid to write a book. It's easily possible to make a fast $10,000, or even a six-figure amount. You could even make seven figures over a million dollars for twenty pages of text. It sounds incredible, but a fast seven figures are certainly possible if you have a HOT, hot idea or have had an experience that hundreds of thousands of people want to read about.
In his evergreen book about writing nonfiction, Damn! Why Didn't I Write That? Author Marc McCutcheon says that it's not hard to make a good income: "you can learn the trade and begin making a respectable income much faster than most people thinks possible."
The good part is that you don't need to write your book before you get some money. You write a proposal, and a publisher will give you an advance, which you can live on while you write the book.
