I just watched the newly released insightful video by Dan Koe, where he shares how he earned $800,000 in one year by writing for just two hours a day. Here's what I learned:
The video outlines nine steps to becoming a profitable writer through non-needy networking, content ecosystems, and a profitable writing system for social media.
1/ To become a profitable writer, you must master the internet and media. Good writing is about energy transfer rather than professionalism.
Brainstorm a unique perspective to differentiate yourself and catch attention.
Remind people of fundamentals from a new perspective, through personal experience.
2/ Creating a content ecosystem is essential to build authority and make sales.
To never run out of angles, tell a story about what you're learning. Write 1000 words on a personal or professional problem and provide actionable advice to solve it.
Sign up for a blog or newsletter software and use a content ecosystem to repurpose your content on different platforms. Establish authority by giving actionable advice in a few domains and learn how to network and grow on the platform.
3/ Develop a non-needy networking process for social media growth.
Understand the game of social media and network manually to get eyes on your content.
Create impactful tweets from newsletter ideas by turning them into lists. Study writing and social media frameworks to develop a writing system. Test a daily system and refine it when hitting a roadblock.
4/ To develop a profitable writing system for social media, write your newsletter using a framework and refine the steps over time.
Branch out to different platforms and repurpose your writing to grow faster.
It takes time and consistency to become a successful creator, but you can offer a product or service along the way.
tl;dr
Dan Koe's video provides valuable insights into becoming a profitable writer by leveraging non-needy networking, content ecosystems, and a profitable writing system for social media.
With dedication and persistence, anyone can find success in this rewarding field.
