If you’re new to my channel… hey there! 
My name is Nicolas Cole and I’ve been writing online since 2007. 
Since then, I’ve generated over a billion views on my writing, written 10+ books, and built multiple 7+ figure writing-related businesses, including two of the largest writing programs on the Internet: Ship 30 for 30 & Premium Ghostwriting Academy. 
I have made millions of dollars writing online, so I fundamentally reject this narrative (pun intended) “nobody makes a living as a writer.”
Yes, you absolutely can make a living as a writer. In fact, you can make more than just a living. You can make tons of money as a writer… IF… you’re a digital writer, and embrace learning the new skills required to thrive in a digital world. 
Which is why I started this YouTube channel.
Consider me your Digital Writing Mentor!
On this channel I talk about:
- Digital Writing
- Ghostwriting
- Writing With AI
- Self-Publishing
- Writing Services & Business Models
So if you have any questions, drop me a comment on any video and I’ll answer them in a future video!
Keep writing,
Cole
