The art and Business of Online Writing
Today I watched an insightful video by Ali Abdaal where he delves into the world of online writing, inspired by Nicholas Cole's book "The Art and Business of Online Writing" 📚
What is Online Writing? 🤔
Ali starts by debunking myths about traditional writing. Unlike legacy writing, which relies on publishers and gatekeepers, online writing is about publishing where the audience already is—social media platforms. It's a game-changer because it allows for immediate feedback and audience building. 🌐
Tools for Effective Online Writing 🛠️
Ali emphasizes the importance of choosing the right platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, or Medium over starting a blog. He introduces the concept of the "Forest of Ideas," where you generate and publish consistently to see what resonates with the audience. 🌳
The Money Aspect 💰
Ali outlines three main ways to monetize online writing:
- Advertising Model: Earning through clicks, ad spaces, and affiliate marketing. 📈
- Paywall Model: Charging for exclusive content, like premium newsletters or courses. 🚪
- Services Model: Offering writing as a service, such as ghostwriting or copywriting. 👻✍️
He also mentions Shopify as a useful tool for those looking to sell products or services. 🛒
Final Thoughts 🤓
Ali wraps up by encouraging viewers to check out his podcast episode with Nicholas Cole for deeper insights. 🎙️
So, if you're looking to make a career out of writing, Ali's video is a must-watch. It's packed with actionable tips and real-world examples that can help you navigate the online writing landscape. 🚀
