Digital writing gives you instant feedback on what works, letting you find your niche faster than traditional publishing ever could. The immediate data from audience response shapes your writing in real time.
The whole idea behind digital writing is that you've accelerated your feedback loop. So legacy world of writing. Hemingway sits down, he spends four years writing a novel, sells it to a publisher, he has to wait another 18 months for it to get published, then he has to wait another 12 months for the magazine reviews to come out, and then he has to go to a pub down the street, and then he overhears some person being like, hemingway's novel was terrible, right? That's the feedback loop. Whereas today the feedback loop is, I have an idea. I write a tweet, a thread, an atomic essay, a LinkedIn post, I publish it and I get feedback three minutes later. If you do that and you constantly take a data driven approach, every time you write something, you should be learning, who is this resonating with? Is this something I want to keep writing about? Every time you see a breakout data point, you go, oh, maybe I should double down on that. And you just keep accelerating your niche over and over and over again. The whole key is you want to take a data driven approach.
