Our authors are earning and we cannot be more happier about it

Dear Pratilipi family,

In the past few months, we have relentlessly worked towards offering new ways to our authors to earn on our platform through the Superfan Subscription, Pratilipi Premium and virtual gifts. It gives us immense pleasure to see the enthusiasm of our readers to motivate their favourite authors and we are happy to share that in the month of August, our writers have earned over 23lakhs combined through these programs. To further break it down, our top 2 authors earn over 50k+ INR per month, 16 authors make over 10K+ INR per month, 44 authors make 5K+ INR per month and over 240 of our authors are making over 1K+ INR per month. 

A huge shout out to our top earner for this month, Priti Jadhav who earned over a lakh this month writing series, short stories across genres such as romance, social and thriller. She started as a reader on Pratilipi, but the lockdown last year had other plans for her. She started writing during this time and readers seemed to like her writing which further motivated her to write more. Though there were times when she received some negative comments, that did  not stop her. She took it as an inspiration and moved on.The story that really gave her an identity was "Vidhilikhit Tu Fakt Mazi Ahes (Vidhilikhit you are only mine)".  Her little secret sauce to keep her superfans engaged is to end each part of her series in suspense. Isn’t that a great idea!!! We were able to get hold of this super busy housewife & pratilipi writer and she had some great advice for all of you who are looking to make it big on Pratilipi. 

“Give wings to your idea. Keep writing. Take negative comments positively because it gives you clarity on your writing and of course makes time to read a lot. I am really thankful to Pratilipi for introducing the author in me. I can say that I finally found a platform where I can put my imagination into words”- Priti Jadhav

Our two programs, Superfan Subscription and Pratilipi Premium are excellent ways to build a sustainable mode of earning through your writings. These programs are designed to get your readers access to your stories/series at a premium price with a lot of other benefits.

What is Superfan Subscription program

You definitely need to take in some advice on how to leverage these programs from our Pratilipi writer Advocate Ketaki. Lawyer by profession, a writer by passion, Advocate Ketaki has done some magic through her writings and has earned over 80K+ in a month. She feels that consistency is the most important ingredient if you want readers to pay attention to your writings and follow you on Pratilipi. She has been writing on romance and social issues and believes that as a writer, we should be exploring newer topics because that’s what readers like. In a conversation with her she says, “Enjoy your writing. Don't be discouraged if you don't get many readers, one day your efforts will definitely succeed.”

Another writer who made it to the top 3 list of highest earners this month is Madhavi Chowdary, a homemaker and a Pratilipi author who writes series across varied genres such as  love, fantasy, family, woman, life & suspense. Her mantra for keeping her superfans engaged are simple- Update your readers, Keep your imaginations flowing and give a perfect ending to all your series to keep your reader wondering. Madhavi had some really sweet notes for all our readers. “I have been writing on Pratilipi for the last two years and I have come so far and I need to give credit to my readers. They admired my work and efforts which always kept me going.”

I am sure, if you are a new writer and reading this, you might have a lot of questions such as I am new, why would people subscribe to me, how can I get so many readers so that I finally start earning on Pratilipi. But, let us tell you that let’s take baby steps. It’s just not Superfan subscription and Pratilipi premium we have for you.  We have Virtual Gifts. Hurray!!!!

If you keep writing consistently and you become one of the favorites of our readers, they can visit your profile and show support to your writings and you by choosing amongst the wide variety of virtual gifts available and each of these gifts holds a monetary value (in the form of a Pratilipi coin). As of today, virtual gifts worth 3 crores have been gifted by our readers to a number of authors on our platform. Doesn’t that sound wonderful for a start?
