MOST ideas nowadays are "others peoples' ideas". There are very true 100% original ideas left in any online business space - most people are repurposing others' ideas and that's okay (it's all about the creative spin you put on something, your delivery and hustle)
Writing is extremely underappreciated. Almost every piece of good content starts with writing. The creator economy will only get bigger. So writing is the skill to learn (+ marketing and sales).
From Bangladesh here. I started writing online after being inspired by Ali. 4 years later I’m making a living out of it. I am making around $1000-2000 per month ,all thanks to you brother. I have also started my journey as a youtuber. Wish me luck!
I began investing at the age of 34, primarily utilizing my hard work and dedication. Now at the age of 42, I am delighted to share that my passive income exceeded $100k for the first time in a single month. This advice is truly valuable, so don't hesitate to take action. Remember, it's not about achieving wealth quickly, but rather about building wealth consistently and persistently.
This is superb! Information, as a noob it gets quite difficult to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this, are you a pro investor?
The market is volatile at this time, hence i will suggest you get yourself a financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ETF you focus on.
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $508k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choi
I've actually been thinking of reaching a portfolio-adviser, my 401k and stocks been losing everything it's gained since 2019, mind if I looked-up this one coach you use?
The adviser I'm in touch with is *CAROLINA MELINA PHERSON* she works with Merrill, Pierce, Smith incorporated and interviewed on CNBC Television. You can use something else, for me she strategy works hence my result. She provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on.

If he can scale his knowledge, why not do it? The thing is, he found a way to "sell a lot without making an effort", but all of this is thanks to the image he built of himself, his reputation and his results. What everyone wants today is this -> + scale and - effort. Now we need to know if he really knows what he's talking about and if the person buying the course is willing to change their life. I don't know this guru and I'm not advocating just stating the facts.
Writing allowed me to become a digital nomad and live a life of freedom while creating emails newsletters and sequences for online businesses. It's a beautiful and lucrative field.
My company is hiring employees for writing jobs and data entry. The pay is good for entry level workers. If you're interested let me know on my v logs.
I think this is great advice for non-fiction, business, self-help, pop culture style writing. I would be horrified to see what this kind of process would do to an author like Hemingway. "The Old Man and the Sea" becomes "How to Catch a Fish Without Really Trying in your Spare Time"
This kind of feedback is more or less book reviews sped up, with often poorer grammar. You read them, take what is useful, ignore what isn’t, and incorporate it to improve your work. Just as with reviews, you can’t let them steer you. That way lies madness.
Actually historically it has worked for fiction: one of the 1800s most celebrated authors is Charles Dickens, who wrote his fiction in weekly periodicals. Each week he would release a chapter and while he had a story in mind, he would use both the anticipation and the feedback to guide his following chapters. In the modern day, in the comic world, manga artists use a similar weekly model to release their work and in the long term incorporate feedback to mould their art
I feel you, Im like this always. But I tried to change this in 2021 and decided to choose one thing and got focus only in that. I finished a screenplay in 1 year and a book in 6 months after that
This video really opened my eyes! I loved the part about how online writing isn't just about waiting for publishers; it's all about sharing ideas where people already are, like on social media. The feedback loop is gold-getting instant reactions helps writers grow and find their voices faster. It blew my mind that you can build your audience before even writing a book! Also, the whole idea of the “1,000 true fans” really stuck with me. It’s way less daunting to focus on a smaller, dedicated group than trying to chase a huge crowd. Thanks for sharing such great tips!
I read this book 5 weeks ago , And it was worth every penny and every minute invested on this book. And now this book is my go to resource whenever I want to learn about something new .
I'm glad to see Copywriting is no longer being considered "the weird red-headed child" of writing. It seriously is the #1 skill to learn if you want to make money with your words. 😃
I literally just purchased this book and it came yesterday. Time to make dreams happen. Thank you Ali for another great video. Loved your podcast with Mr Cole too.
I always find myself skipping through videos, but with this channel, it's different. You've truly mastered the art of teaching, and I'm captivated every moment.
That’s a good thing. Maybe not for you, but definitely for a content creator. Adjusting your writing to make it more popular, as opposed to making it higher quality, it’s just simply a natural evolution of a content creator. We may not like it, but that’s just simply how it works. If you want something, that’s a little less flashy, you just have to go find new content all the time. It’s the price you pay for being choosy.
I really love how you write and structure your videos. And I always learn so much from them and all your courses I've taken in Skill Share. This video was eye opening about potential of writing on line. I will look for Nicolas' book and listen to the podcast. Thanks Ali!
The book is really great! I have to say it was full of effective writing tips for people like me who HATED learning about how to write better in school. This was full of practical tips and couldn’t recommend it enough.
You posted this video absolutely at the right time. I was just watching and listening to your older videos about writing (a newsletter) and now I saw that you posted another one. You really inspired me to create my own newsletter a few days ago. I already posted my first issue, let's see where this will take me. Thank you so much!
I attribute your early success to your scholarship of good books, and willingness to share your knowledge. Eagerly awaiting "Feel-Good Productivity: How to Do More of What Matters to You," to be delivered to my Kindle the day after Christmas. Indeed, joyful pursuits are the most enduring. Maintaining productivity is important for us older folks, too.
Oh. I was thinking the same thing, However, the videos are still useful, just that they could be shorter. I now play his videos at 2x speed, including this one, and I still get the point.
You could also say this is the difference between formulaic writing -- like romances, which have been churned out en masse for decades in response to reader feedback -- and great literature, which is the result of one individual's creativity, vision, and perseverance. No one will remember a single romance or online bit in 100 or even 10 years but great novels live forever. I ran a professional writing business for years. This is utter schlock.
Thanks, Ali, great video overview of online writing paths. The concept of FEEDBACK is fascinating. The feedback/feedforward loop is ever-shortening in this techscape. The physicist Nassim Haramein has written the equations that reveal this loop is a fundamental aspect of the space/time Field, and a requirement for all life. I would love for you to write or vlog more about how to incorporate feedback, as so many of us resent it, block it, or even fake it!
Thanks for being structured, straight to the point and (I don't know if it's fair to say this) speaking fast. I seldom get through 14-minute videos but this was a breeze and deely informative, too!
As always, such a great video Ali! So if I undertood it right, to start you are going to make and publish lots of contents and different ideas, then using feedback you are going to focus on what you really like and people want to read of your content. I really want to start writing and this sounds as a really good way to start and not only find what resonates with your public but also with yourself!
I have been hooked to you for the past one year for reason to be displayed the unreal things to be shared on your TH-cam channel i.e side hustles, self-improvement, online media etc. Thank you so much Ali sir 🙌
Your TH-cam channel is absolutely amazing! The content you create is both entertaining and informative,The production quality, creativity, and passion you put into your videos are evident in every frame. keeping me hooked with every video. Keep up the fantastic work, you're doing a fantastic job! 😊👍
I just discovered your channel, although you have millions of subs, but I'm just so amazed by your content. I feel like I've missed a big thing for many years. Keep up this fantastic work. 👌👌
Hi Ali, great conclusion of the entire book. But what I’ve seen with online writers these days is they share a lot of tips about writing and then sell those tips in a course or in a book. But I’ve not come across a single writer yet, who writes about everything else other than writing tips and earn money. You can even make an analysis of this, but online writers make more money by selling courses and self publishing.
That is how most of this stuff works. It doesn't matter if its writing, finance, day trading, etc. People hype up what they are doing to sell courses. They don't make most (or any) of their money from the original activity they are teaching you about but instead make it from selling courses that claim to teach you how to do what they do. No one ever stops to consider why someone that is telling you they make tons of money doing something like day trading don't just focus more on that activity instead of spending time selling courses about it. In that example you could argue teaching others to do what they do would actually harm their financial best interests due to added market competition. The truth is they sell courses because the original activity is not that lucrative for most people and they will make more money selling courses.
Yep.I am a professional writer with two degrees, have written for many businesses, and had a successful podcast I wrote. I can tell you right now this gentleman and those like him make money by simply selling the idea of "you can make money too!" to people more than by writing for writing's sake. I have always made crappy money my whole career despite having luck. Yes some jobs will pay well but they can stop after a few weeks or months, writers get laid off frequently, and many companies only have one writer, so full time jobs can be extremely hard to get -- plus it can take a long time to find another contract job after one ends and you might have to do something very low paying in the mean time. Freelancing on Fiverr pays peanuts unless you've been at it for years. People seriously want to hire writers for what works out to like $5 an hour! Most of the writers I know are also either not making that much money a year (random payments here and there) or also have to have a full time job such as teaching at a school OR basically have to spend more of their time making these expensive courses and programs for people to buy and all the time it takes to constantly advertise and market those (by making youtube videos like this). Either way if you want to make money writing you have to be constantly constantly constantly selling yourself. If you don't enjoy that then just write for yourself for fun!
I have read Cole's book the art and business of online writing, it is really a good book, the way he explain the ways and direction for digital writing was amazing, I started writing online by reading his book, and I really enjoying to write no stress no anxiety I just love it.
Writing is vastly undervalued. Almost every piece of good content begins with writing. The creator economy is only going to grow, and due to that, more jobs will exist!
What if I get absolutely no feedback at all. Trying to build an audience on social media is like shouting into the abyss. 99% of people receive no attention at all.
The beginning is pretty difficult (I expierence this through my own newsletter), but what about talking with your family & friends? Show them what you have written and I'm sure they will give you some feedback
I left school 2 years early and was placed 3 years ahead 😅 loved writing.....stumped my professor on first assignment 😂❤ offers from many publishers..... Love the theory of writing coach via video ❤ epic
Brilliant book recommendation as always Ali. Thank you. This book can help so many more people than the ones who want to be a career writer. Entrepreneurs, marketers, sales, etc. My only concern is, how does AI affect all of this? Where will online writing be in 5 years? Also, off topic, what brand shirt is that? Thanks again!
Can you at some point make a video (apologies if you have done so already) about why you have chosen this particular narrative? I'm trying to understand the ways people approach living in an economic society, why someone pursues money as the end goal versus meaningful work or a combination.
Money is a tool, a means to an end, rather than the goal itself. More details here about my philosophy around making money: th-cam.com/video/-ZscZv-IMyI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QxPuD49ZbjlTRrcK
i am not a native english speaker so i kinda always have a self doubt that I can’t compete with others in terms of language literacy. Anyway thank you for this great content. i will try it again ❤
Good copywriting relies on good messaging. Otherwise it’s not worth anything. And if you’re also doing the messaging for a product, you’re basically just a freelance product marketer at that point.
Really interesting insights However I still feel that having a blog is still relevant in today’s world, and shouldn’t be discounted. Also whilst I appreciate Cole for thinking about the audience, I feel his ideas about this go too far that we are just trying to appease the audience.
Day trading is where the pulse of the market truly comes alive! Every moment presents a new opportunity, and for those with the passion and precision, the rewards can be monumental. It's not just about quick trades, but about harnessing the power of the market in real-time. Dive in, seize the moment, and let every trade be a step towards achieving your financial dreams,I've personally benefited from following Tammy Brockman’s trading tactics, amassing 23 bitcoins in a short seven weeks period of day trading , which speaks volumes about her expertise in the market.
Riding the market wave entails understanding the market volatility, Tammy Brockman has been doing an awesome job reviewing the charts, enabling me to capitalize on the volatility via day=trading.
The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional.
if you ask me what is special about Tammy Brockman compared to the other traders I have worked with in the past, Tammy Brockman has numerous great features, simple, easy, and reliable signals and analysis.
I also prefer this method known as trading than just hodl for a future that we are not sure about. I have been getting massive profit off the market from using her daily signals.
This video came up right on time really I was thinking abt that which skill should I learn (thinking of online writing) lil bit confused but now its gone Thanks a lot! Brilliant
*How to Write Online Effectively* 1. Start with the Forest of Ideas 2. Start writing where viewers / readers already are 3. Get feedback from your audience 4. Be prepared for trolls and people that don't vibe with your content 5. Pool of Analysis - Pay attention to the patterns, what's working well? Expand on that. *How to Make Money From This* 1. Advertising model (more unpredictable option) 2. Paywall / Exclusivity Model (more profitable option- all you need is 1,000 true fans) 3. Service Model (offering your time for money)
It's always an honor to have you here as a mentor I learn a lot your videos and it has encourage me expecially in decisions making. Investing in the financial market that changed my life forever.
So much informative videos, I was not getting bored even for 1s. I was searching for all of this information on the web but I got answers to all of my queries in one video. Thanks for this much informative content and the amount of hard work you put in your videos is worth it...
Hi Ali, very good video as always - but I am unclear about a key aspect of the “online writing” process - when you suggest to write on platforms such as X. LinkedIn, Reddit etc … do you actually mean to simply post an entire essay or article as a regular post ? Or am I missing some aspect of the process… is there a format to upload one’s work onto these platforms , or do they offer certain “publishing pages” for writers / content creators to upload to? Platforms such as Quora /medium require an already existing following of sorts , as those models are a little closer to the “private website “ format …I would be very grateful for some clarification to help dissipate my confusion :) Thank you in advance .
I think it’s about testing the waters with feedback regarding a topic. So you post a shortcut of the idea/topic you have in mind, wait for people’s opinion on it and with that new perspective on the topic you can write a better article that is more attractive to the audience. & you will notice which topics get more engagement and responses and which get less, which can be a good way of selecting topics (although that whole concept is quite dependent on having/building a base followership of a “few hundreds” in order to even get responses)
So inspiring as always Ali. You know you inspired me, on Monday I'm closing a decent deal for a second hand deal for a 6th generation kindle to start more reading, and not using my ipad as much at night. So gg 🔥
Exactly what I needed. I already love reading and this has sparked more recently a creative boom in my mind about topics I'd love to discuss. LinkedIn is where I will begin and I will then spread to other mentioned platforms as you discussed. Thank you Ali, this could be what gets me the home I am hoping for.
Nicholas Cole's book is fantastic, so much gold you can also transfer to other business areas not just writing. I've read his ghost writing book too, the beginning treads a lot of the same ground but is well worth persevering with. Great video too Ali. Hope the nomad lifestyle is suiting you! Now when are you letting us know about the bonuses for your new book 😊
What's awful is when a book reads like chunks of a blog strung together, incohesive and potentially repetitive. Also, I wonder how AI will affect all of this for writers and readers.
i know a bunch of writters that started this way, alice oseman is the first one that comes to mind and her books have recently been adapted into a netflix series!!! (heartstopper minght ring a bell)

@aliabdaal It’s not easy, and it’s going to take a lot of courage. You have a platform, and it’s time for you to publicly take a stance toward the Palestine genocide taking place right before our eyes (and if you feel otherwise, then of course that would be your stance). Neutrality is just not an option anymore, that time has passed. History will look back at this time and we need to see you as being listed as one of the brave social media leaders. I look forward to seeing your thoughts on this subject presented in a very near future video in the same eloquent and cool way as your other videos, insha’Allah :).

So if I undertood it right, to start you are going to make and publish lots of contents and different ideas, then using feedback you are going to focus on what you really like and people want to read of your content.
I really want to start writing and this sounds as a really good way to start and not only find what resonates with your public but also with yourself!
I have been hooked to you for the past one year for reason to be displayed the unreal things to be shared on your TH-cam channel i.e side hustles, self-improvement, online media etc.
Thank you so much Ali sir 🙌
Your TH-cam channel is absolutely amazing! The content you create is both entertaining and informative,The production quality, creativity, and passion you put into your videos are evident in every frame. keeping me hooked with every video. Keep up the fantastic work, you're doing a fantastic job! 😊👍
Wow, thank you!
I just discovered your channel, although you have millions of subs, but I'm just so amazed by your content. I feel like I've missed a big thing for many years. Keep up this fantastic work. 👌👌
Let’s be realistic, only
6% of writers on Medium warn more than $100 per month.
Where did you get this stat. I'm broke af and scared to start cause everything I'm told keeps me broke
Use affiliate marketing and add links in your stories to get traffic
Hi Ali, great conclusion of the entire book. But what I’ve seen with online writers these days is they share a lot of tips about writing and then sell those tips in a course or in a book.
But I’ve not come across a single writer yet, who writes about everything else other than writing tips and earn money.
You can even make an analysis of this, but online writers make more money by selling courses and self publishing.
That is how most of this stuff works. It doesn't matter if its writing, finance, day trading, etc. People hype up what they are doing to sell courses. They don't make most (or any) of their money from the original activity they are teaching you about but instead make it from selling courses that claim to teach you how to do what they do. No one ever stops to consider why someone that is telling you they make tons of money doing something like day trading don't just focus more on that activity instead of spending time selling courses about it. In that example you could argue teaching others to do what they do would actually harm their financial best interests due to added market competition. The truth is they sell courses because the original activity is not that lucrative for most people and they will make more money selling courses.
Yep.I am a professional writer with two degrees, have written for many businesses, and had a successful podcast I wrote. I can tell you right now this gentleman and those like him make money by simply selling the idea of "you can make money too!" to people more than by writing for writing's sake. I have always made crappy money my whole career despite having luck. Yes some jobs will pay well but they can stop after a few weeks or months, writers get laid off frequently, and many companies only have one writer, so full time jobs can be extremely hard to get -- plus it can take a long time to find another contract job after one ends and you might have to do something very low paying in the mean time. Freelancing on Fiverr pays peanuts unless you've been at it for years. People seriously want to hire writers for what works out to like $5 an hour! Most of the writers I know are also either not making that much money a year (random payments here and there) or also have to have a full time job such as teaching at a school OR basically have to spend more of their time making these expensive courses and programs for people to buy and all the time it takes to constantly advertise and market those (by making youtube videos like this). Either way if you want to make money writing you have to be constantly constantly constantly selling yourself. If you don't enjoy that then just write for yourself for fun!
This looks like my thumbnail 😂😂, but the highly upgraded version, you are the best mentor ❤
Wow! God bless you dear Coach Ali Abdaal ✍️💯❤️📚🌍😀
Solid, book ordered. This is a space I really want to explore.
5:34 🔥 super transition btw
I have read Cole's book the art and business of online writing, it is really a good book, the way he explain the ways and direction for digital writing was amazing, I started writing online by reading his book, and I really enjoying to write no stress no anxiety I just love it.
would you say that you are someone introspective about life or just a really energizing person with a passion for writing?
@@jerelong3581 I just love it it makes me fine to share my thoughts and ideas to help others.
Which platform did you start writing on?
@@mgs027 I am writing on different platforms like quora, medium and I also write newsletters on substack as well
I LOve the way ali structure his content
A physician always tries best to heal pain whether it’s physical or mental anxiety,Mr Ali Abdaal does both in same manner.
Cool! After learning how to make videos, I want to jump start on online writing + podcast now! We all gonna be happy & successful ❤🔥
Writing is vastly undervalued. Almost every piece of good content begins with writing.
The creator economy is only going to grow, and due to that, more jobs will exist!
Love from India & all the very best for your digital nomad journey….awaiting to witness what lie ahead on your channel 🎉
Rather than awaiting for his success, do something big in your life so that other people like you can await for your success 🙂
Felicitaciones Ali....Gran Video como siempre 💫
What if I get absolutely no feedback at all. Trying to build an audience on social media is like shouting into the abyss. 99% of people receive no attention at all.
Here’s some engagement to get you started.
@@nicolascole77 😎
The beginning is pretty difficult (I expierence this through my own newsletter), but what about talking with your family & friends? Show them what you have written and I'm sure they will give you some feedback
Yea, but... stare long enough into the abyss, and the abyss stares back at you, right?
This really caught my attention, well done. Looks like your audience starts here.
I fell in love with your videos with my mind and your softness :)
I left school 2 years early and was placed 3 years ahead 😅 loved writing.....stumped my professor on first assignment 😂❤ offers from many publishers.....
Love the theory of writing coach via video ❤ epic
A great video. I have to agree with others, the book to (slight-of)hand was awesome!
Brilliant book recommendation as always Ali. Thank you. This book can help so many more people than the ones who want to be a career writer. Entrepreneurs, marketers, sales, etc. My only concern is, how does AI affect all of this? Where will online writing be in 5 years? Also, off topic, what brand shirt is that? Thanks again!
Anyone can write using AI.
Who will stand out, realistically? Those which have a human touch.
Can you at some point make a video (apologies if you have done so already) about why you have chosen this particular narrative? I'm trying to understand the ways people approach living in an economic society, why someone pursues money as the end goal versus meaningful work or a combination.
Money is a tool, a means to an end, rather than the goal itself. More details here about my philosophy around making money: th-cam.com/video/-ZscZv-IMyI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QxPuD49ZbjlTRrcK
Great video for someone stranded on how to begin online writing❤
❤❤❤❤❤ informative & inspiring. So on point on being paid by the "hours" vs by the "results".....
Very good video, will defenentlely switch from writing on my website to a platform where people already are. Thank you Ali!
Really interesting topic. The full interview goes right to my watchlist and the book to my readings list!
Really cool edit at 5:33. I see your videos mostly for video editing ideas.
Mujhe bhi heart day
(If ali doesn't know urdu it means give me heart too man)
i am not a native english speaker so i kinda always have a self doubt that I can’t compete with others in terms of language literacy. Anyway thank you for this great content. i will try it again ❤
You can turn it into a strenght ! Your mistakes & ways to use and structure words make you stand out and add human authenticity !
Your comment proves you are good at English you don't need to be scared
@@enzogallow👍🏻
Good copywriting relies on good messaging. Otherwise it’s not worth anything. And if you’re also doing the messaging for a product, you’re basically just a freelance product marketer at that point.
I just love your content so much. Thank you for all the inspiration to give a small TH-camr and Videographer as myself ❤
Really interesting insights
However I still feel that having a blog is still relevant in today’s world, and shouldn’t be discounted.
Also whilst I appreciate Cole for thinking about the audience, I feel his ideas about this go too far that we are just trying to appease the audience.
Day trading is where the pulse of the market truly comes alive! Every moment presents a new opportunity, and for those with the passion and precision, the rewards can be monumental. It's not just about quick trades, but about harnessing the power of the market in real-time. Dive in, seize the moment, and let every trade be a step towards achieving your financial dreams,I've personally benefited from following Tammy Brockman’s trading tactics, amassing 23 bitcoins in a short seven weeks period of day trading , which speaks volumes about her expertise in the market.
Riding the market wave entails understanding the market volatility, Tammy Brockman has been doing an awesome job reviewing the charts, enabling me to capitalize on the volatility via day=trading.
Knowledge is power.. the signals i receive on Tammy Brockman are the best.
The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional.
if you ask me what is special about Tammy Brockman compared to the other traders I have worked with in the past, Tammy Brockman has numerous great features, simple, easy, and reliable signals and analysis.
I also prefer this method known as trading than just hodl for a future that we are not sure about. I have been getting massive profit off the market from using her daily signals.
This video came up right on time really I was thinking abt that which skill should I learn (thinking of online writing) lil bit confused but now its gone Thanks a lot! Brilliant
*How to Write Online Effectively*
1. Start with the Forest of Ideas
2. Start writing where viewers / readers already are

*How to Make Money From This*
1. Advertising model (more unpredictable option)
2. Paywall / Exclusivity Model (more profitable option- all you need is 1,000 true fans)
3. Service Model (offering your time for money)
@5:35 that transition though 🤯🔥
It's always an honor to have you here as a mentor I learn a lot your videos and it has encourage me expecially in decisions making. Investing in the financial market that changed my life forever.
To be honest, investing is a smart way of securing your family future, grow wealth and beat inflation
I'm a newbie and my portfolio has been down the drain while I try trading for myself, don't know what I did wrong
Consider seeking guidance from a financial advisor or a trading mentor to provide signal and also help you out with trade.
Excellent content and insights, as usual. Thank you!
Nah the book grab from thin air is insane!! LOL great knowledge as well!
So much informative videos, I was not getting bored even for 1s. I was searching for all of this information on the web but I got answers to all of my queries in one video. Thanks for this much informative content and the amount of hard work you put in your videos is worth it...
Hi Ali, very good video as always - but I am unclear about a key aspect of the “online writing” process - when you suggest to write on platforms such as X. LinkedIn, Reddit etc … do you actually mean to simply post an entire essay or article as a regular post ? Or am I missing some aspect of the process… is there a format to upload one’s work onto these platforms , or do they offer certain “publishing pages” for writers / content creators to upload to? Platforms such as Quora /medium require an already existing following of sorts , as those models are a little closer to the “private website “ format …I would be very grateful for some clarification to help dissipate my confusion :)
Thank you in advance .
I am also wondering about this step in the process. Maybe I am missing something as well. Could someone please explain?
I think it’s about testing the waters with feedback regarding a topic. So you post a shortcut of the idea/topic you have in mind, wait for people’s opinion on it and with that new perspective on the topic you can write a better article that is more attractive to the audience.
& you will notice which topics get more engagement and responses and which get less, which can be a good way of selecting topics (although that whole concept is quite dependent on having/building a base followership of a “few hundreds” in order to even get responses)
Most valuable video for content writing on internet 🙇🏻❤️
So inspiring as always Ali. You know you inspired me, on Monday I'm closing a decent deal for a second hand deal for a 6th generation kindle to start more reading, and not using my ipad as much at night. So gg 🔥
Ali bhai,
Good explanation of writing skills 😊
I’m so glad I bought this book yesterday. I feel like it’s going to sell out now lol
Exactly what I needed. I already love reading and this has sparked more recently a creative boom in my mind about topics I'd love to discuss. LinkedIn is where I will begin and I will then spread to other mentioned platforms as you discussed. Thank you Ali, this could be what gets me the home I am hoping for.
Nicholas Cole's book is fantastic, so much gold you can also transfer to other business areas not just writing.
I've read his ghost writing book too, the beginning treads a lot of the same ground but is well worth persevering with.
Great video too Ali. Hope the nomad lifestyle is suiting you!
Now when are you letting us know about the bonuses for your new book 😊
Soooon
Most of my free time I am watching Ali’s Videos😍
Thanks for alw.ays inspiring us. As a new youtuber it is always helpful to watch your videos and stay inspired
Never felt so happy after seeing a video title 😀
What a timing Ali 😊!! It came up right on time when I’m writing my first book!! Thanks for your invaluable info ❤
all the best :)
What's awful is when a book reads like chunks of a blog strung together, incohesive and potentially repetitive. Also, I wonder how AI will affect all of this for writers and readers.
i know a bunch of writters that started this way, alice oseman is the first one that comes to mind and her books have recently been adapted into a netflix series!!! (heartstopper minght ring a bell)
I voted for PTI first and then saw this video and my hope is 10x now.

@aliabdaal
It’s not easy, and it’s going to take a lot of courage. You have a platform, and it’s time for you to publicly take a stance toward the Palestine genocide taking place right before our eyes (and if you feel otherwise, then of course that would be your stance).
Neutrality is just not an option anymore, that time has passed. History will look back at this time and we need to see you as being listed as one of the brave social media leaders. I look forward to seeing your thoughts on this subject presented in a very near future video in the same eloquent and cool way as your other videos, insha’Allah :).
Id love to find a channel that can talk about skills development without focusing on money.
Anytime I get a notification from Ali I know am going to learn something new and something what my time❤
🙌
This video and this channel both are value adding.❤️
This is such a wholesome video!
Thanks
Thank you for this episode and another dose of motivation.
