Reading makes you a better writer, but writing also makes you a better writer and is usually more effective at improving your writing and also more easily monetized.

Fiction writer here. Loved this video. I have a friend who regularly puts out a novel every 2 years. She is a full-time writer. She always says the best marketing for your book is... to write another book. LOL. I've learned this year that I am no longer a panser. I have accepted that I write more and better quality when I outline my stories. It took some self reflection, but I want to grow as a writer. You can't do that if you don't grow. Thanks again for the video.👍

[@nicolascole77]

That's what I've learned too. Don't worry about marketing, just worry about writing the next book. ONWARDS

"There's too many successful writers out there and there's no reason you can't be one of them." 💜 Thank you Cole for sharing your expertise with the world, and being an inspiration. You are truly an amazing writer.

[@nicolascole77]

Thanks for watching/listening!

[@apollolee2978]

Gosh. I want to tell you that I really love the Coffee with Cole Series! The videos provide so much value and are uploaded so frequnetly! I read your book saying you got viral by publishing articles daily in the past, but could not fully understand how that worked. But now, I think I begin to understand how impactful it is to provide high-quality content consistently. You are literally demonstrating how it works now!!

[@nicolascole77]

So glad it’s clicking for you 💡

[@ManuelSalvatoreMartone]

I can't thank you enough for this series. After having had Ship 30 I think that the coffee with Cole is the BONUS addon everyone needs. After that, sometime is frustrating for me because I can't see me overcoming all the obstacles and issues I had and I have, but, listening to you help me tremendously a lot. Thank you very much.. from Rome, Italy.

[@nicolascole77]

I’m so glad. Keep writing, it gets easier. PS love Italy! 🇮🇹

[@giovannitertulli4962]

Exactly what I needed to hear as I am half way through Ship 30. I must double my effort.

[@nicolascole77]

Awesome, keep writing

[@tejasvisaxena3857]

I can't thank you enough for sharing such great depths of knowledge! You don't romanticise anything about writing industry, make it overwhelming in such a good way that always encourages me to figure out what's writing is to me and how far I can take this as a full time career. Thanks again for all of your efforts with each video!!👏

[@nicolascole77]

That's the goal. So glad you're finding it helpful!

[@LearnToEarnAbundance]

Every upcoming writer in the world, needs to see your videos and content. Thanks.

[@nicolascole77]

Thanks for watching/listening

[@sufirafaee8784]

Watched this video 3 times since you posted it 19 hours ago. I think this wasn't meant to be a masterpiece like what you said in this video, but it is to me ❤

[@nicolascole77]

So glad!!!

[@KiaOrion]

So many gems in this one. That last one hits HOME 👊

[@nicolascole77]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@scootydub]

This video is a masterclass on mindset. I loved every minute of it. Point #7 on effective vs “good” writing is so important.

[@nicolascole77]

I’m glad 💯💯💯

[@mariavalente6304]

this is amazing! talk more about fiction writing

[@nicolascole77]

On my list! Didn't know so many people wanted to hear about that topic. Now I know!

[@franktarczynski7229]

Been following your’s and Dickie’s journey since the start of Ship30. Really solid content both of you are putting out.

[@nicolascole77]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@darshit_poriya]

Need to hear this again and again. It will help me to stop repeating the same mistakes over and over again 👍 Going to write another thread on this 🙌 to consolidate all the learning in one place! Thanks cole for combining it all together 🔥

[@nicolascole77]

Epic! Can't wait to read the summary thread :)

[@munchingmogul]

I ended up here because when I saw the link to this in my inbox it said "coffe with cole" And I just so happen to be drinking coffee right now

[@nicolascole77]

Perfect timing lol

[@sowercookie]

The reading thing is so true! I hang out in writer Discords and this is such a common take, and when I point out writing is the only thing that makes you good at writing people argue with me 🤷‍♀️

[@nicolascole77]

Classic haha

[@patrickhennessy8022]

So I'm at the 8:50 mark...this video is a REAL..."I wish I had this when I got started." I'm a retired Fraud Investigator, I guarantee that I know when someone is talking/publishing BS. This is not a click-bait, marketing, cut-n-paste, standard video with the real intent to just get you to buy some stuff.

[@nicolascole77]

So glad.

[@darshit_poriya]

I wanted to write more but finding difficult to create a holistic outline as a result spending major time searching for content rather than writing content. How to research relevant content faster? I think a lot of writers struggling with it. It would be helpful if you create a banger video on that 🔥

[@Quintessentialmen]

Follow his advice on writing in different places. Get feedback. Just write a little every day.

[@estebanlopez5372]

Love your teachings ... ❤ Thank you!

[@nicolascole77]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@JohnPatrickWeiss]

Thanks for diving into fiction advice. I read your online writing book, which was excellent. But I’m interested in writing fiction. And worse, I prefer more literary prose, which probably assures poverty.

[@nicolascole77]

Thanks for the kind words. I love literary fiction too. Just worth acknowledging (objectively) literary fiction is also the smallest market of readers, making it the hardest to successfully monetize. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t write it, just means you shouldn’t bank on it paying the rent-and should look to monetize your writing talents in other ways.

[@gabrielpulido7145]

As a fiction writer, how can you implement ghostwriting? How will PGA help in selling my own fiction? And in what niche would you ghostwrite in? Thanks Cole!

[@nicolascole77]

Give this one a watch! -- kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKnLd4usotmSaLM

[@linggafadlurazaq2900]

great content as always

[@eliottprigent]

Thank you boss !

[@megwriter3power-gg6ml]

Thanks for your input. I’m over 50 and thinking of writing a group of short stories and posting them into a blog. Also, I’d be interested in doing writing research for even fiction writers as a service🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@rochellegracilla6157]

Thanks Cole, I needed this kick to get unstuck !!!

[@nicolascole77]

I'm glad!

Lil Weezy reference 🤯

[@jerryloncey]

Thumbnail suggestion: Switch out your title text with the image title. *10 years of writing experience summarized in 37 minutes* If you can make the numbers rhyme, that will be awesome. For the image, just put your face there and write, "$10M made" or something similar.

[@QuizmasterLaw]

"Moby Dick" sold under 1000 copies during Herman Melville's life. Ever read Kafka? How much did you pay for that? How often do you in fact pay $ to read a thing?

[@levmarkelov]

My main takeaway: put in MORE reps

[@BSPoK]

Why do I feel like this is a personal development video hiding behind tips to become a writer? 🤔😅

[@nicolascole77]

It's all personal development ;)

[@thisricardopalma]

Work smarter, not harder.
