Can civil servants earn copyright fees for writing books?

Of course. It is legal and reasonable to engage in creation and get paid by writing novels. And it is also a legitimate income.

In addition, civil servants can also obtain legal income through these channels.

Make long-term investments. In the case of abundant funds, it is reasonable to buy a house, a real estate, a fund, an original stock and a small investment, as long as it does not affect the original work and does not occupy working hours.

Use your own skills and expertise. You can also help others do accounts and tax returns in your spare time, or draw a plan and do the essence of the project for a little fee.

Manual labor. It is not illegal to make money by your own labor, as long as it does not affect your work.

Invent. This aspect belongs to a small number of people with high ability requirements, who can earn income by applying for patents and franchising inventions.

Collect rent. It is also legal to rent idle or redundant rent and vehicles.

Give advice. Family and friends do business and use their intelligence. Using your own industry knowledge and experience to help make suggestions, although you can't get direct income, you can save money, save costs and earn excess profits for your family and friends, which is also an indirect income.

The above are the channels for civil servants to engage in sideline business, which are established within the legal and reasonable scope without affecting their work.
