Navigating the New Digital Landscape for Writers
Written on
Chapter 1: The Digital Opportunity for Writers
In today's world, anyone can easily type away at a computer. The act of writing demands minimal energy: a few finger movements, no outdoor activity, and it’s virtually free. I personally enjoy it and have embraced writing as a means of self-care and expression for over three years now.
However, the challenge lies in the fact that low-effort writing often leads to limited visibility online. While some authors have built substantial followings through their written words alone, pioneers like Dan Koe, Nicolas Cole, and Dickie Bush recognized an emerging trend and made significant investments early on. They ventured into a new digital realm specifically designed for writers — a logical next step.
The opportunity to succeed in this digital era is still available, as 95% of individuals have yet to take advantage. In an economy characterized by fleeting attention spans, creators like us must put in extra effort to achieve the reach we desire. This is why incorporating video content into our strategy is essential for writers across all platforms.
And I’m not talking about high-budget productions with expensive cameras or teams of specialists. The type of video content I mean is genuine and stems from the written words you’ve already created. Video serves as a powerful tool to connect with new audiences who may not have engaged with your writing but are eager to hear your thoughts.
This is the new territory that writers are beginning to recognize as vital, and there has never been a more opportune moment to master video skills. 🚨 Influential authors like Mark Manson and Dan Koe utilize video content to expand their reach, and their approach is straightforward.
