But that's the point! If you want to make money, you do things that make money! If being a writer doesn't pay, then either take the vow of poverty and be a full-time writer, or do something that pays lots of money. Then if you want to write, treat it as a hobby on the side.
If a writer is earning half of minimum wage, maybe he should spend 4 hours a day at a minimum wage job, earning the same money and then write to his/hers heart content in the rest of the time....
