Nicolas Cole breaks down how writers make money into three steps: publish content to drive traffic, collect emails, then sell something to that audience. He says this simple model generated millions for him and that most writers overthink it.
What does monetize your writing actually mean? What is a business that is quote unquote built on writing? It's actually very simple. There are only 3 steps to the entire business, and it doesn't matter what business model you pick, it is the same 3 steps over and over and over again. You drive traffic, AKA write online, you collect traffic, AKA capture emails, and then you monetize traffic, you sell something. Those were the only 3 steps that we did for years. And drove millions of dollars in revenue. So I think oftentimes people make monetization so much more complicated than it actually is. It's 3 steps. It's 3 things.
