Different Publishing is now LIVE! I've spent the past few months investing in my own Shopify store, and my own print-on-demand supply chain. We currently ship anywhere in the U.S. & Canada. You can find all my books here👇 differentpublishing.press

Upwork and Fiverr are a race to the bottom. They stop freelance writers from: • Charging higher rates • Landing quality clients • Creating efficiencies If you use these platforms, you're making 3 big mistakes. In this video, I explain why: tapthe.link/58WirQkcIs

Most writers want to learn everything they can about writing except actually writing.

Endurance is a differentiator. I've been writing online since 2007. I've seen a LOT of creators explode in popularity and then quit or pivot. To succeed, you didn't have to be "better" than them. You just had to keep going.

Want to get paid to write WHILE working on your book? Then become a ghostwriter (it's what I did). It’s how I was making $20,000/mo ghostwriting for a handful of clients. Click here to grab my (FREE) 5-step blueprint & start ghostwriting: x.premiumghostwritingblueprint.com/?el=ColeP22604…

@Tim_Denning I've always said: Strive for freedom, not recognition. A lot of the people who are recognized and celebrated in ways you desire, had to trade a significant portion of freedom in order to get there. All depends on which outcome matters more to you.

@ThinkAligned This is why I'm focused on creating my own library of self-published books

@Nicolascole77 The real value of a book is in how often you think about it after reading it.

@dickiebush This is the way

@Nicolascole77 Don't break the chain is a simple way to gamify the whole writing experience

@dickiebush A framework you can rinse and repeat over and over again

Every writer should have a newsletter. Here's how to write your first 10 editions:

People who chase outcomes rarely stay consistent. People who fall in love with the process are consistent forever. This is why I became a writer—I can write until the day I die.

@thealexxroy exactly what you should be doing

@Nicolascole77 Business rules can be game-changers. I once simplified my process and it boosted productivity... now I can juggle more projects while still squeezing in time for cricket.

In 2020, I created 3 business rules that changed my life. Since then, I've added 6 more. If you're just getting started in business, read these rules:

@workless_build great process!

The 1% consistency problem is real. But here's what changed for me: treating content like a system, not inspiration. I built 12 ChatGPT/Claude prompts for different content types. Now I batch 20 posts in 45 minutes instead of spending 10 hours/week staring at blank screens. Ghostwriters who automate their research + outlining process can handle 3-5x more clients without burning out. The ones who don't? Still trading hours for dollars.

@tryleadpilot true

@Nicolascole77 most people make up rules after they've already won and act like they invented the formula

@SachinRamje Thanks for reading!

@Nicolascole77 This makes you rethink how much time you spend just learning instead of doing, Nicolas.

@pentradev Monthly revenue numbers

most of these "rules" frameworks just get ignored if you don't have a forcing function to actually follow them. what's the system you use to stay consistent with yours.

@Bolu_Timi Thanks for reading

@Nicolascole77 Simple but powerful

@Goddess7Moon Actually found the opposite—I need more rules to stop me from getting distracted

@Nicolascole77 The longer you play, the fewer rules you need. 🌘🌔🌒

@pentradev In the beginning they were stapled to my desk

@Nicolascole77 most people collect rules and never follow through on any of them. curious how many of these 9 you actually use weekly vs just reference.

@Tim_Denning Confidence comes from doing things so many times you no longer wonder whether you "can" or "can't." It's autopilot. You just do. And you're not worried about what anyone else thinks because you know you've done it 1,000x more than they have—which render's their opinion obsolete.
