Since January 1st, I've committed to getting better at online writing.
I've been so drawn to explore this world of online writing that I joined all of Nicolas Cole's & Dickie Bush's online courses, Ship 30 for 30, the Captain's Table, and Premium Ghostwriter Academy. I've gained a lot out of the experience.
So, here are are my takeaways & favorite quotes that have helped me begin to imagine what I could do as a writer:
"The Art & Business of Online Writing" by Nicolas Cole
I picked up this book because I heard about it in a podcast interview of Cole hosted by Ali Abdaal, one of my favorite productivity thinkers.
The book is very actionable. "If you can just keep on keeping on your journey, learning and mastering each level, you will eventually climb all the way to the top of the ladder. That’s how you 'beat the game.'”
It introduces new frameworks of working as a writer & creator on the internet. "The moment you have even one signal of Earned Credibility, you should start leveraging it... If you’ve been writing online for five years straight, why isn’t that in your bio?"
The book introduces new avenues of working this career with writing being both the product and service. "Ghostwriting requires you to learn how to write in a wide variety of voices."
