I’ve Been Writing Online for the Last 9 Years and Made 7 Figures. If I Had to Start Again, Here’s What I’d Do.
Writing is a team sport masquerading as a solo pursuit
I’m not the best writer.
But racking up 500m+ views online over 9 years, getting a book deal with a major publisher, and making 7 figures …. means I must know something.
I get asked all the time, if I had to start again what simple steps would I take? Here’s my answer to help you write online.
Step 1: Find a massive pool of people
LinkedIn and Twitter have the biggest sources. I’d pick one and go hard. I’d be relentless and make it my main goal. Every spare minute would go into being active on the platform.
Step 2: Choose a backup platform
Any platform can decide to ban you before you’ve even gotten up to do a poo. It’s happened to me and, I’m sure, others you know. So essentially you’re going to run with both Twitter and LinkedIn.
Step 3: Take a short course to learn the nuances
Social media apps look deceptively simple.
