That would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Your work isn't punctuated or grammatical. If you want to be a writer, you have to have an outstanding command of language which includes a thorough knowledge of grammar. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either lying or misnformed.

Next, follow for follow is not how you are successful. You become a successful writer by writing to publicaiton level, and 90% of the time that means you have a high level of education, whether formally or informally.

No, you don't have to pay to earn, but in order to read, you do have to pay. If you leave intelligent comments, that are 100% relevant to what they are saying, then they may look at your work. If they like what you write, they may follow you. It is not a guarantee, though.

Earning a living as a writer is not easy. Very few people are successful at it. I say that, as someone who has been published since the early 60s, and who has been earning a living as a writer for a quarter of a century.
