The Art & Business of Writing Podcast with Nicolas Cole

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
