How to earn a living as a writer
#DigitalWriting #CreatorEconomy #TheArtOfFocus
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.
nice, welcome to the world of dan koe copy cats. change now and change fast xD
Good morning peeps, we all gonna make it 👊🏻
Morning to you my brother!
Are we?
Amen🎉 ✍️
@@ceban9014Yes WE are. 🎉
🤑
I'd like to emphasise something here;
Be patient. This is one of the values I've had to learn early on in my career and life as a whole. Learn to keep a good attitude when waiting for the seeds you plant each day to grow. Just like bamboo trees, they take as long as 5 years to grow under the ground and then in five weeks sprout up above.
So be patient. Learn to trust the seeds that you plant each day. Be patient but do not wait to take action.
All the love brothers and sisters.❤
Awesome value Koe, Thanks a ton!
That's very good advice.im procrastining but I have reservations.found out that it's OK to be scared but u have to try& make ur mistakes that's hoe u learn.but patience is a trait u definitely need.
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.
Hey that's some grit in there apricate it.
if you don't mind could you share your learning process throughout your 6months learning process
Congratulations! Kudos to you
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.
The secret to making money is teaching others how to make money.
This is the scary truth that nobody talks about.
And here I am poor as a school teacher. I need to break the shell.
And sell a book, course. This is called a fastlane to becoming a millionaire while they sell you a slow lane.
I think you don't understand how this works man
@@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.)
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?
Skip to 7:03 to get to where he starts getting to the point.
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
You just described me. I’m also Brazilian and I have 1 million interests. It’s hard to pick just one!
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.
Thank you for being there for me. I"m 88-years old and need your help. I just found you, and now I will follow your advice.
How are you now? My mom is 91. I need his help too.
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 ...
I can’t believe it took me 30 years to finally understand that writing is the foundation of all content creation..
Thank you Dan 🤘🏼
I hear ya, homes.
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.
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
Nice! Keep Pushing
Dan Koe killing it with content ❤
Keep up the great stuff. Looking forward reading the book 🎉
Literally always on edge of my seat waiting for you vids to drop. Appreciate you
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
Delusional. No you can't.
Yes, you can! You got this! Sending postive energy your way!
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!
I second This Comment
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 👁️
Bro, you have a nice channel! Keep growing
Congrats. Can you share with us your products?
Oh damn well done, what platform did you use to monetise esoteric knowledge?
@@BruceSailes appreciate this heavy thank you, I’ll stick to it.
@@alexandra5127 IG, Tiktok and then Kajabi for the platform
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 love how honest and real you are!. It's relatable. Thank you so much!
I honestly cant get over how much value you provide in these videos... seriously im so glad I picked up writing. Its such a valuable skill.
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.
Dan, you’re a wealth of information brother! Keep crushing it
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.
You have changed my life Dan. Words can never express my gratitude.
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.
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
Haven’t seen your content in over a year and now you’re in my suggestions. Bro went in on content!! Good work
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!
I am a physician, and I am realizing that I need to be a writer to make a bigger difference in the world and achieve my goals. Plus, I was already a writer before I ever studied medicine.
Thanks for your insights, Dan! I am VERY glad that your channel came across my phone...
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.
Your videos are a big part of my morning routine. Thanks for the continous input :)
Great Dan! Thanks for creating, sharing and inspiring so many people! Great work! Big hug from Mexico.
This is the best advice I've recieved for free this year. Thank you very much Dan.
I'm having a rough year - Everything is falling apart on me.
Luckily I started trusting my gut and went out to get educated to break out of my bubble - I can never go back.
I now understand that things are possible for me too (for us all) - But one needs to adopt the right mindset.
Chipping away at 35 years worth of being programmed for mediocrity and failure - I realize I was taught to fail!
One definition of 'breaking the mould' I enjoy:
>> "... put an end to a restrictive pattern of events or behaviour by doing things in a markedly different way"
Thank you Dan for pointing me in the right direction!
Keep up the good work brother, one day at a time! It is never too late. in fact, you're JUST getting started!
I'm 70, I'm still learning this shit!
Thanks so much for another insightful video! Congrats on releasing your book, bravo. 🤘💯
Just pre ordered the art of focus Dan, Thanks for all the help.
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.
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’m so excited to read your book. I know I’m going to keep it on my desk as soon as I get it
Love this video. Thanks for starting Digital Writing series.
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!
This was pure gold! Thank you!! 🙏

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
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!
sooo hyped for the book man
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..
High motivation overload in an authentic way after listening to you. Many thanks dear Dan 🙏🏻
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.
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
Thank you for this video koe, I for sure will get better!
cool concept bro! love your content
Dan always putting out the meat! Thank you bro!!!
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 !
Damn! I'm loving your videos bro!
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 🇫🇷
Solid piece of information as always
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.
I am so glad I came across this video. I have multiple passions I want to pursue. So many things I want to learn.
Dan thanks for the content it's inspirational to many ❤
I also want to ask if ur previous products on Freelancing and web-design r available/
I love you Dan Koe. Thank you for content that totally resonates ✨💯✨
This is like a highlight reel of all of Dan’s previous videos. 🎥
Thanks so much you have no idea how much your words changed my day 🙏
"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.
Your content changes the game I just orderd the art of focus keepsake box I am so hyped hope It arrives safe in germany :)
Running towards success. Let's go!
Am I seeing stuff, or is Dan getting brighter and brighter in his thumbnails as the week goes by?
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.
Thank you for the review
such value man thank you
Awesome video Dan..
This will be a preparation for me in coming years. I will make it and get started all in by 2024!
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. 😕
Superb work dear
pumped to read the new book
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.
This is awesome 🙌🏼
First time seeing you. I was like,”damn, I like this kid!” Great info and you are so intelligent. Thanks for the great advice!
Very Insightful
Well said Sir.
Thanks, Dan.
Omg….the low lows and high highs… that’s me… that was a perfect explanation
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.
Yes, Dan!
I have never seen you before. But this title and your book intro, looks interesting. Ill help out a business owner. And the title. Got a buyer.
35,000+ hours on youtube. This is one the best videos i've ever seen in my life.
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.
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.
Thank you Dan ❤
