Writing has changed my life. Clearer thinking, better ideas, and better mental health. Digital economics helped a lot to improve my writing, can recommend it to anyone!
Do you have any resource to recommend so I can learn about the digital economy? Online marketing and such? If you do, just name a book or the webpage. Please!🖤
I like Niel Patel, he has a ton of amazing guides for beginners. Another great resource is the AWAI they are full of fantastic teachings, printable cheatsheets and webinars. Just search for either or both and you will have plenty of guides.
Picked up copywriting this year, from february. Still working hard and in September I finally made my first money with writing online. It's the best feeling I ever had in a while.
Congrats for real🎉. Glad it's starting to pay off.i'm curious about how you got the first job though bcos It's something I'm just now getting into and God knows I could use some advice
@@franklinagu2250 I used Upwork to get my gig, but now I will definitely switch up and do some cold outreach + focusing on linkedin growth. We'll see where I am at by end of year.
Amazing! Congrats to you 🎉! Must be an amazing feeling. Thanks for sharing. Gives people an idea of a realistic timeline that they can acheive this. Like the first commenter i'd like to know more about how you went about accomplishing this goal as well. Perhaps some resources to leaen skill, practice habits, and how you got your first client. Thanks. All the best.
I totally related to almost everything you said in this video, Dan. I always had difficulties in pursuing a degree because I've got multiple interests in life like neuroscience, computer science, nutrition, and art. Before watching this video, I thought that there was something wrong with me, but now I can see what an advantage I have. Growing up in Brazil with too many financial constraints, now I see how it has shaped my beliefs about how to succeed in life. I cannot stress how grateful I am for discovering your channel. Thank you so much, Dan!
i agree with you, i am currently pursing my degree to enter research field but i have so many interests that i find it hard to focus as compared to others who are just focusing on one thing and i am trying to learn other skills too along with this cause i also want to learn high income skill and also be good at martial arts,i like philosophy, history, arts, maths, creative stuff, cooking and baking,i find it hard to focus on one degree and collg is depressing for me as i have to study one subject when i want to learn so much more also when i find myself not really learning much when i know i can learn more than that online or by reading book, also i know i am in this field cause of my interest but i also want to learn something to make a lot of money which is rare in this field, i am really lost right now but i am still trying.. i hope i findi some way
same bro. I also have lots of interests and I just keep switching. But now I am sticking to one thing. Just stick to 1 one thing for 5 years and change after 5 years. That's what I have come up with.
@@rishiverma3405the people that have money and want to make more are the ones that will pay you the most. (I would rather get less and help the people that really need it the most.)
Thank you, Dan, for your forward approach in this video. It's refreshing to hear a business-minded individual say, "How to make $1 million with Creative Writing," and then clearly spell it out. You gave an achievable outline and a realistic view of the progression of success. Truly, you are the first person I have heard to succinctly speak intelligently with frankness, knowledge, and experience on this topic. Just like you, I'm also a creative individual, and I also want to monetize that. Thank you again, Dan, for this informative content.
Never did I think my 7 years of esoteric and metaphysical study could be monetised. That was until I came across Dan’s videos, since then I’ve cleared 5 figures(nearly 6) smooth. Thanks Dan, and for all of you, don’t work harder, or even smarter but work multi-dimensionality. The universe is mental 👁️
I want to add that you also need to unlearned what you learn from school about writing. School forced people to write about things they don’t care about. Start writing what interests you. Good luck to everyone on this path.🎉
I was told by my teacher I wasn't good at writing. It made me feel quite bad because of just how much I wanted to be a writer. Then, after months of self doubt, I realised something. The only thing making me bad was not parroting her opinion on the topic we were supposed to write about. That girl who was "the best writer in class" just happened to have the exact same opinion on everything as the teacher. I on the other hand, was a so called free thinker that would always have my own opinions about everything. I have eventually read the girl's writing. Her grammar, her spelling and all the other metrics of her writing beside that were well below the average. I was better in the third grade and we were in highschool. For the rest of the school I saw the girl as a cringe worthy sellout. Few years later, I realised that she was smart and had a talent to get under the other people skin. If I really wanted to be a writer, I needed to learn how to sellout. Sellouts are the only artists that are making it out in the real life. Selling out well really did make that girl a better writer than my combined high talent and secret hard work did. That was a hard pill to swallow. Even later I realised that all I've read online about writing by the actual writers, and all the lectures on creative writing I watched and taken better notes on than the actual schoolwork should have been combined with the marketing lessons by the people who are working in marketing. Now I am learning so much that it became overwhelming. I still feel like I don't know nowhere near enough. This book I am now writing is already better than my first two full length ones and I haven't even started the editing process yet. I already know it will be good enough for publishing after I polish everything. If I want to make it as a writer I must sellout well... I apologize for a long rant that probably doesn't interest you, I am often thinking in online comment form. I actually wanted to write something about the self-education being the best key to success in life, but I got carried away.
@@lampyrisnoctiluca9904the girl was not a better writer because she was a sellout. I'm glad that you noticed what was going on with the teacher. Think about how many other kids wouldn't have realized that and gave up writing. I had a teacher who praised my writing. I also write stuff in TH-cam comments like you talked about. Have you published anything? I haven't... Unless you count letters to the editor.
@@brendalg4 Thanks. I have nothing published if you don't count the things I wrote on the two blogs that I used to have. I am now working on my book and my master thesis in the same time. If I write too much, I won't have the energy left for my master thesis, so I write very little lately. I don't give up on my dreams. I have just decided to postpone them a little. What do you write about?
I just want to thank you, Dan. While my family constantly points me to take the traditional path, I learn to also understand where they are coming from. You have me believe that if you can do it, I can do it too. Thanks for what you do.
It’s hard to take what they say with a grain of salt. But times have changed so much. Most still don’t see the potential that technology has brought. Stay on the path my friend, your path
That's the hardest part in anything. Breaking away from the typical way of doing things. People usually respond very negatively or not at all. They just don't know better. Keep fighting - Be the first one to succeed!
It’s a bit of a task to figure out how to incorporate my comedy into my business. I thought they had to be separate brands but your content is helping me find my niche which is myself and create a unique personal brand

I’m currently teaching myself how to code I want to become a Full-Stack Developer and I work nights at Coca-Cola and don’t get me wrong Coca-Cola is an amazing company they offer me a lot 401k Quarterly Incentives Healthcare but I still come home and code 5-6 hours a day to one day be able to do what I wanna do thanks Dan your videos have inspired me so much and one day when I’m a Full-Stack Developer I would like to meet you and tell you my story
Distribution, Offer, Product, Promotion. I try to just improve one small thing everyday on each category and let time have time. I have reduced my stress as a business owner soo much with this strategy. So if you’re stressed today, know you’re not alone and one step today will get us where we want to be tomorrow. No reason to be in a rush. Thanks Dan, you’re my hero. Truly.
By school, you mean college? I'm began teaching in university while I continue my side business, but I'm curious about your comment. What did you study? I have flexibility for implementing entrepreneurial concepts into my curriculum, so just curious ...
Thanks, Dan! Your videos made me realize that being a good artist alone isn't enough to make a living doing what I love. I realized that I have to explore other things as well beyond creative work, such as sales & marketing and, especially, writing. I really hated writing until I watched your videos. You changed my perception about writing.
I just love the vibe he provide on TH-cam. Love his voice and style with value is a complete package for success he got completely worth everyone time.
As somebody who was introduced to marketing thru SEO lead generation, currently working a job in tech, and learning graphic and web design on my own time.....this was very helpful and insightful. Kinda had all the same drives but just had to accept what made the most sense. Id been saying marketing is everything and content is marketing. So i focused on making high quality content. But good writing is also high quality content.
I am going to buy your book 📕 I totally 💯 relate to your extremely smart ideas & Business ideas. Thank God we have brilliant individuals like you to mentor and show us the way to Time & financial freedom that I have been seeking for years. From 2024 and beyond this is doable and by loving ❤one’s life 😅 Thank you 😊 so so much and good luck 🍀 for your new book. Greetings from France 🇫🇷
I found Dan in November of 2022, after 4 years of Designing without. Since then, I’ve made money with my skills, not much. But I’ve made internet money ! It’s possible !
Dan, its not ok to shit on jobs. The microphone you speak in, the internet you use to communicate, the TH-cam you host on, the food you eat, the water that comes out your faucet and shower, the roads you drive on are all designed, built and maintained by hard working men. You are nothing without people that have jobs that form the backbone of society. There absolutely can be purpose, meaning and fullfilment in a job and you clearly see this in areas with high life expectancy and happiness. The key there is that a job is simply part of life - not life itself. They don't live to work, they work to live.
@@audrey04021 it’s not relevant what I or you think here, it’s true. Vast majority of life’s necessities are indeed built and maintained by men. World would be in turmoil if men quit working for just a single day.
Brother, i know you worry about that, but i think he's just reminding us that construction/machinary jobs can be replaced by robots/AI. especially with the pace of technology development this world is going... So he's offering you the solution (AKA writing).
I like that this guy seems like a real person. No gimmicks or fancy transitions and unnatural smiling and excitement. It feels like im having a normal conversation even if it is one sided. Refreshing
Currently doing a deep dive into all of your old videos. I love watching the timeline of your transformations, but I gotta say, I thoroughly enjoy your rants. Although you add value on all platforms, your videos are my favorite, but then little sneak peaks into your daily Life are nice on stories as well.
"If you don't learn marketing, sales, writing, and speaking you won't see your success wth that thing." Love hearing validations from others about the very skills needed for business I've been developing. 5yrs in furniture sales. D2D last 2 yrs going on 3. Top producer. Been studying and practicing DR copywriting last three years to market myself and expand my reach.
@@Kaali0708 @AvneetAlagh My online affiliate marketing business failed, it was too impersonal, and I expected too much too soon. I'm now incorporating my personal interests in the business to make it more relatable. The main focus is music related resources, and the other two are learning Korean, and creating Webtoon art.
@@louwvalue oh gosh same dear...I also failed at it,affliate marketing.I did for 4 months but idk i didn't feel the competitiveness as well as i also expected way too.Rn I am also looking for books,videos related to money mindset,management and personal growth firstly.I need to do research what would(niche) be that can make my mind to be engaged in curiosity and yearning to grow.
Dan, you are broadcasting information that defines you as an asset to every individual in any community that values you, for that reason alone buying your Art Of Focus Keepsake Box is my way of honoring the values you have cultivated and shared with the World, it's an honor to be bringing You into my Home.
Almost first 😄 but still good enough to motivate me to publish my first programming youtube video next week 🤞 thanks Dan for all the inspiration and advice
Glad I'm not alone in this boat 😂😂 And in the same spirit "The best time to start something is now", so it doesn't matter anymore if we wasted x years.
Balancing out the creative with knowledge of business, whether it comes from you or a spouse, is necessary to make money. Business thinking comes from a different part of the brain. You can get it through wisdom by the age of 40-50 if you’re patient, but taking classes accelerates it. Young creatives hate taking economics and business classes, learning sales is like venom in the veins. If you learn the human side of that stuff and even bring some creative to it, then it helps you see how the model needs to shift. It’s harder for introverts though. Networking is a must.
Amazing Video Dan! I will suggest you do another video about” what people do wrong in one man business “. I m interested how to grow the authority even so I m posting every single day. And also how 9-5 can grow the one person business with “ conflict of interest “ clause in their agreement. I literally got warning for it😬🤦♂️
I have to stop the video when you talk sometimes so I can chew on things that really "hit" me. I loved where you talked about the highs and lows of entrepreneurship and how (paraphrasing) our lows can look really bad to outsiders. I didn't think about it as a self-employed person, but I DO worry about people seeing me as a loser even though (in spite of not making big money) I have SO much freedom and really like many things about my daily life. Working for other people sucked the life out of me (up until 15 or so years ago) . I may or may not make much money but I only have this one life and I am LIVING IT.
You’re so right about sending traffic from twitter to Yt. I didn’t do it that way (went from yt to twitter) but if I were starting over I would do it your way.
So glad I stumbled accross your content brother. I see a lot of myself and my skills in what you describe and it's very inspiring so thank you for the inspiration. Keen to get a copy of the book!
@@inspiredtobebetter8994 he made me create content and care more about writing as it is the fundamental thing in anything and in his video he gives me a lot of ideas about many things that i have never thought about
Thank You. Blunt truth to the point. I feel like every other learning videos just run me in circles and repeat key phrases as if they are so valuable. that moment when you see the scam leaving a video with more questions then when you went in. So Thank You. There is a reason you are successful and you have every right to feel good about your accomplishments. lol Again amazing. and much gratitude.
Thank you for sharing this excellent information! I look forward to listening to it several more times and implementing everything I can! Blessings of love and light to all!
I struggle with idea generation. I post quotes and ideas, but I quickly grow tired of seeking out random quotes. I’ve heard you say solve your own problems before, but I can’t think of any significant problems I’ve really managed to "solve" in my life. 😕
Maaaaan I’m going to have to invest in that box. I’m wasting my skills. I’ve gotten too comfortable and that comfort has only sent me barreling down the road of depression. Gotta turn this around.
Hey bud, just a heads up. A.I will be taking writing over. As of right now you can start a freelance business writing with A.I tools with little to no experience. A.I is going to progressively get better and before you know it, all copywriting, blog post, and other forms of writing content will be done by only A.I. you can put time to learn the skill now but it won’t be needed in the future with the great help of A.I
Hey Dan, I want to thank you for getting me started on my writing journey. I wanted to get out of the 9-5 Rat Race but didn't know how, but now I believe writing to be my ticket to a better life. Know that your content has inspired me and changed my life for the better💪
Yes audience building is the best ROI activity and it starts with consistently giving free value. Absolutely doesn't have to being with Twitter though and its not even necessarily the best. It's just that there are a lot of hacks to each platform and most people only ever learn one, which they then become overdependent on - and myopic toward the potential of other platforms. I started with FB and built 4.5M followers. As a writer. And you can leverage multiple other platforms to build your own robust subscriber base. I would correct the part about needing to be a writer, to needing to be a communicator (semantics). You are right in essence. Speech-to-text is getting really good and we are pretty much at the point where you no longer need to type anything, at all, ever.
Consumed a fuck ton of videos similar to these & recently started a one person business that is very unique and you wouldn't think about Genuinely excited and working hard, having a plan of objectives along the way
@@Informativeeye There's more ways to make money than just the SMMA, content creating, copywriting examples you told to do. Mix and match with your passions to make something. Maybe content create so you can make memberships, THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX with what you actually enjoy.

I know most of what you mentioned in this video. I have heard multiple fast scaling Creators mention the Art of focus and writing on X and scaling. There is a reason Elon bought X. I won Creative Humor Writing Competition, 1st iPOD Touch in 2007. That is when I knew I earn huge in writing. But prior to that I have a history of Journaling and winning Arts competitions. Computer Engineering sharpened my brain. So I know the Brain Body Building concept too. The Distribution is the only part where I'm stuck now. But I will just focus on Writing Creative Educational Principle Personal and Pro Improvement posts on X and my LinkedIn. If any Creative & Fit Creators or Artists want to collaborate for Distribution from USA or Europe then please don't hesitate to reach out as I'm building a Design Community!
Hi there, your comment sparked my interest because you spoke about "sharpening your brain". How were you when you accomplish this? And do you think that journaling and learning challenging subjects like computer science can shrpen the brain of someone who's in their 30's? Also, is that writing competition still active? Congrats on your successes in writing and other creative works by the way. Thanks
@@krystalmarie5637 Well, by special Mercy of Allaah, I have been blessed to do several experiments as an 18-20 year old. I found the Purpose of Life by reading The Noble Qur'an, 51:56 verse to be exact. There is so much that you can learn and ask on this Channel of mine, SGDC!
I Have a friend. And today, I learnt that she was gonna get married. Yeah, I was happy for her indeed. But I got chills in my spine. This is why. She studied in the same college, I did, worked for 2 years and since she didn't earn enough to settle for herself, and THEN marry someone actually good for her, her family just made her marry some guy(which is a thing in Indian households). I am in my final year, and I already have 3 SDE job offers. But like you said, I wanna create something and Not have a mundane life in a corporate company, stay in the same place, fail to prove my worth become dependent and fall into the trap that my parents would probably create for me too. So, thanks for this video. It Really added value to my research.

Nice! Keep Pushing
Someday you might want to publish this story.
Dan Koe killing it with content ❤
Keep up the great stuff. Looking forward reading the book 🎉
Distribution, Offer, Product, Promotion. I try to just improve one small thing everyday on each category and let time have time. I have reduced my stress as a business owner soo much with this strategy. So if you’re stressed today, know you’re not alone and one step today will get us where we want to be tomorrow. No reason to be in a rush. Thanks Dan, you’re my hero. Truly.
School gave me a distaste for lots of these powerful skills, have to realign the mind.
By school, you mean college? I'm began teaching in university while I continue my side business, but I'm curious about your comment. What did you study? I have flexibility for implementing entrepreneurial concepts into my curriculum, so just curious ...
Thanks, Dan! Your videos made me realize that being a good artist alone isn't enough to make a living doing what I love. I realized that I have to explore other things as well beyond creative work, such as sales & marketing and, especially, writing.
I really hated writing until I watched your videos. You changed my perception about writing.
Join something like American writers association for lots of free training. Also learn the leverage AI for assistance.
I love how honest and real you are!. It's relatable. Thank you so much!
A master chooses the same thing over and over again. You, my friend, are becoming a master of the one person business model. Thank you for what you do
I just love the vibe he provide on TH-cam. Love his voice and style with value is a complete package for success he got completely worth everyone time.
As somebody who was introduced to marketing thru SEO lead generation, currently working a job in tech, and learning graphic and web design on my own time.....this was very helpful and insightful. Kinda had all the same drives but just had to accept what made the most sense. Id been saying marketing is everything and content is marketing. So i focused on making high quality content. But good writing is also high quality content.
I am going to buy your book 📕 I totally 💯 relate to your extremely smart ideas & Business ideas.
Thank God we have brilliant individuals like you to mentor and show us the way to Time & financial freedom that I have been seeking for years.
From 2024 and beyond this is doable and by loving ❤one’s life 😅
Thank you 😊 so so much and good luck 🍀 for your new book.
Greetings from France 🇫🇷
Hi Dan! Been following your growth since you were
It’s fantastic to see so many young people writing books. Congrats on your new book!
Dan, you’re a wealth of information brother! Keep crushing it
I found Dan in November of 2022, after 4 years of Designing without. Since then, I’ve made money with my skills, not much. But I’ve made internet money ! It’s possible !
Dan, its not ok to shit on jobs. The microphone you speak in, the internet you use to communicate, the TH-cam you host on, the food you eat, the water that comes out your faucet and shower, the roads you drive on are all designed, built and maintained by hard working men. You are nothing without people that have jobs that form the backbone of society.
There absolutely can be purpose, meaning and fullfilment in a job and you clearly see this in areas with high life expectancy and happiness. The key there is that a job is simply part of life - not life itself. They don't live to work, they work to live.
Hard working "men"? You don't think women design and build?
@@audrey04021 it’s not relevant what I or you think here, it’s true. Vast majority of life’s necessities are indeed built and maintained by men. World would be in turmoil if men quit working for just a single day.
Brother, i know you worry about that, but i think he's just reminding us that construction/machinary jobs can be replaced by robots/AI.
especially with the pace of technology development this world is going...
So he's offering you the solution (AKA writing).
@@audrey04021 Women don't work in jobs that don't have Air Conditioning
I like that this guy seems like a real person. No gimmicks or fancy transitions and unnatural smiling and excitement. It feels like im having a normal conversation even if it is one sided. Refreshing
Currently doing a deep dive into all of your old videos. I love watching the timeline of your transformations, but I gotta say, I thoroughly enjoy your rants. Although you add value on all platforms, your videos are my favorite, but then little sneak peaks into your daily Life are nice on stories as well.
"If you don't learn marketing, sales, writing, and speaking you won't see your success wth that thing."
Love hearing validations from others about the very skills needed for business I've been developing. 5yrs in furniture sales. D2D last 2 yrs going on 3. Top producer. Been studying and practicing DR copywriting last three years to market myself and expand my reach.
My first attempt at the one person business model failed, I'm glad I've since discovered your content, and feel better prepared this time around. ❤
What business?
@@Kaali0708 @AvneetAlagh My online affiliate marketing business failed, it was too impersonal, and I expected too much too soon. I'm now incorporating my personal interests in the business to make it more relatable. The main focus is music related resources, and the other two are learning Korean, and creating Webtoon art.
@@louwvalue oh gosh same dear...I also failed at it,affliate marketing.I did for 4 months but idk i didn't feel the competitiveness as well as i also expected way too.Rn I am also looking for books,videos related to money mindset,management and personal growth firstly.I need to do research what would(niche) be that can make my mind to be engaged in curiosity and yearning to grow.
@@louwvalue so do you have any business development ideas for your interests?Just a curious cat i am..
Your videos are a big part of my morning routine. Thanks for the continous input :)
Dan, you are broadcasting information that defines you as an asset to every individual in any community that values you, for that reason alone buying your Art Of Focus Keepsake Box is my way of honoring the values you have cultivated and shared with the World, it's an honor to be bringing You into my Home.
I want to be like Dan, and I'm all grown up Soo .. do I just start writing scripts and filming
Almost first 😄 but still good enough to motivate me to publish my first programming youtube video next week 🤞 thanks Dan for all the inspiration and advice
This is the best advice I've recieved for free this year. Thank you very much Dan.
I can’t believe it took me 30 years to finally understand that writing is the foundation of all content creation..
Thank you Dan 🤘🏼
Glad I'm not alone in this boat 😂😂
And in the same spirit "The best time to start something is now", so it doesn't matter anymore if we wasted x years.
It really is just think about it . We write comments/tweets/statuses, TH-cam descriptions for videos, articles etc
Balancing out the creative with knowledge of business, whether it comes from you or a spouse, is necessary to make money. Business thinking comes from a different part of the brain. You can get it through wisdom by the age of 40-50 if you’re patient, but taking classes accelerates it. Young creatives hate taking economics and business classes, learning sales is like venom in the veins. If you learn the human side of that stuff and even bring some creative to it, then it helps you see how the model needs to shift. It’s harder for introverts though. Networking is a must.
This is the best comment in here.
Haven’t seen your content in over a year and now you’re in my suggestions. Bro went in on content!! Good work
Amazing Video Dan! I will suggest you do another video about” what people do wrong in one man business “.
I m interested how to grow the authority even so I m posting every single day.
And also how 9-5 can grow the one person business with “ conflict of interest “ clause in their agreement.
I literally got warning for it😬🤦♂️
I have to stop the video when you talk sometimes so I can chew on things that really "hit" me. I loved where you talked about the highs and lows of entrepreneurship and how (paraphrasing) our lows can look really bad to outsiders. I didn't think about it as a self-employed person, but I DO worry about people seeing me as a loser even though (in spite of not making big money) I have SO much freedom and really like many things about my daily life.
Working for other people sucked the life out of me (up until 15 or so years ago) . I may or may not make much money but I only have this one life and I am LIVING IT.
Your videos are always so helpful and it makes to unlock something new! Thank you Dan Koe 😊😊
You’re so right about sending traffic from twitter to Yt. I didn’t do it that way (went from yt to twitter) but if I were starting over I would do it your way.
Hi Dan, I am so glad you came across my feed. The right information at the time.
High motivation overload in an authentic way after listening to you. Many thanks dear Dan 🙏🏻
The best advice I've gotten from a single video in years... i'm priming chatgpt in my brain as I watch... my god! Thank you so much!
So glad I stumbled accross your content brother. I see a lot of myself and my skills in what you describe and it's very inspiring so thank you for the inspiration. Keen to get a copy of the book!
Now, your real you is out! Dan wow! Your body language is now top notch¡¡
Money motivates the movement ❤
Thanks for video ❤
Dan you truly changed my life a year ago thank you really
Hi, how did he? What did he say or do and then what did you do because of it? What made your life change?? 👍
@@inspiredtobebetter8994 he made me create content and care more about writing as it is the fundamental thing in anything and in his video he gives me a lot of ideas about many things that i have never thought about
Thank You. Blunt truth to the point. I feel like every other learning videos just run me in circles and repeat key phrases as if they are so valuable. that moment when you see the scam leaving a video with more questions then when you went in. So Thank You. There is a reason you are successful and you have every right to feel good about your accomplishments. lol Again amazing. and much gratitude.
Thanks so much for another insightful video! Congrats on releasing your book, bravo. 🤘💯
Love this video. Thanks for starting Digital Writing series.
Great Dan! Thanks for creating, sharing and inspiring so many people! Great work! Big hug from Mexico.
Thank you for sharing this excellent information! I look forward to listening to it several more times and implementing everything I can! Blessings of love and light to all!
the string plucking was an awesome thought process.
Am I seeing stuff, or is Dan getting brighter and brighter in his thumbnails as the week goes by?
Just pre ordered the art of focus Dan, Thanks for all the help.
I struggle with idea generation. I post quotes and ideas, but I quickly grow tired of seeking out random quotes. I’ve heard you say solve your own problems before, but I can’t think of any significant problems I’ve really managed to "solve" in my life. 😕
Maaaaan I’m going to have to invest in that box. I’m wasting my skills. I’ve gotten too comfortable and that comfort has only sent me barreling down the road of depression. Gotta turn this around.
I am so glad I came across this video. I have multiple passions I want to pursue. So many things I want to learn.
This is like a highlight reel of all of Dan’s previous videos. 🎥
This is my first video Ive seen of your videos. Just subscribed. Good content.
🔥 as usual 💪🏽
Wow, this is great info. Subscribed and will learn more from you. Thanks!
Writing has been a valuable life saver for me. Thank you for sharing this.
This will be a preparation for me in coming years. I will make it and get started all in by 2024!
Love the string metaphor - great video
The highs highs and lows lows that contrast and actually bring meaning to life 4:12
Hey bud, just a heads up. A.I will be taking writing over. As of right now you can start a freelance business writing with A.I tools with little to no experience. A.I is going to progressively get better and before you know it, all copywriting, blog post, and other forms of writing content will be done by only A.I. you can put time to learn the skill now but it won’t be needed in the future with the great help of A.I
Humans will still have to input & proofread AI writings.
Running towards success. Let's go!
Hey Dan, I want to thank you for getting me started on my writing journey.
I wanted to get out of the 9-5 Rat Race but didn't know how, but now I believe writing to be my ticket to a better life.
Know that your content has inspired me and changed my life for the better💪
Yes audience building is the best ROI activity and it starts with consistently giving free value. Absolutely doesn't have to being with Twitter though and its not even necessarily the best. It's just that there are a lot of hacks to each platform and most people only ever learn one, which they then become overdependent on - and myopic toward the potential of other platforms. I started with FB and built 4.5M followers. As a writer. And you can leverage multiple other platforms to build your own robust subscriber base.
I would correct the part about needing to be a writer, to needing to be a communicator (semantics). You are right in essence. Speech-to-text is getting really good and we are pretty much at the point where you no longer need to type anything, at all, ever.
Your content changes the game I just orderd the art of focus keepsake box I am so hyped hope It arrives safe in germany :)
Consumed a fuck ton of videos similar to these & recently started a one person business that is very unique and you wouldn't think about
Genuinely excited and working hard, having a plan of objectives along the way
Can you elaborate?
@@Informativeeye There's more ways to make money than just the SMMA, content creating, copywriting examples you told to do. Mix and match with your passions to make something. Maybe content create so you can make memberships, THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX with what you actually enjoy.
@@otherstampo can I work with you?
First time seeing you. I was like,”damn, I like this kid!” Great info and you are so intelligent. Thanks for the great advice!
Bless ya soul man. We are proper thankful for your gems of knowledge.
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING DAN
Something about holding up a book called "The Art of Focus" but it's out of focus the whole time you're holding it just makes me giggle.
I’m so excited to read your book. I know I’m going to keep it on my desk as soon as I get it
I'll come back here to thank Dan Koe when I finally land my dream writing job
35,000+ hours on youtube. This is one the best videos i've ever seen in my life.

I know most of what you mentioned in this video. I have heard multiple fast scaling Creators mention the Art of focus and writing on X and scaling. There is a reason Elon bought X. I won Creative Humor Writing Competition, 1st iPOD Touch in 2007. That is when I knew I earn huge in writing. But prior to that I have a history of Journaling and winning Arts competitions. Computer Engineering sharpened my brain. So I know the Brain Body Building concept too. The Distribution is the only part where I'm stuck now. But I will just focus on Writing Creative Educational Principle Personal and Pro Improvement posts on X and my LinkedIn. If any Creative & Fit Creators or Artists want to collaborate for Distribution from USA or Europe then please don't hesitate to reach out as I'm building a Design Community!
Hi there, your comment sparked my interest because you spoke about "sharpening your brain". How were you when you accomplish this? And do you think that journaling and learning challenging subjects like computer science can shrpen the brain of someone who's in their 30's? Also, is that writing competition still active? Congrats on your successes in writing and other creative works by the way. Thanks
@@krystalmarie5637 Well, by special Mercy of Allaah, I have been blessed to do several experiments as an 18-20 year old. I found the Purpose of Life by reading The Noble Qur'an, 51:56 verse to be exact. There is so much that you can learn and ask on this Channel of mine, SGDC!
I Have a friend. And today, I learnt that she was gonna get married. Yeah, I was happy for her indeed. But I got chills in my spine. This is why. She studied in the same college, I did, worked for 2 years and since she didn't earn enough to settle for herself, and THEN marry someone actually good for her, her family just made her marry some guy(which is a thing in Indian households). I am in my final year, and I already have 3 SDE job offers. But like you said, I wanna create something and Not have a mundane life in a corporate company, stay in the same place, fail to prove my worth become dependent and fall into the trap that my parents would probably create for me too. So, thanks for this video. It Really added value to my research.
sooo hyped for the book man
What is your actual product or service though? That’s the part that’s hard for me to figure out.
Thanks for asking, it's all about profit with these people
Hi Dan,
Love the channel and your content, I am in Australia and cannot seem to find the book in Amazon...There is only a Kindle edition. I was after the hardcover (preferred) or paperback edition.
