Hi guys, in this post I’d like to introduce you to a series. It’s a journey I’d love to carry you all along on. It’s called The Laws of Digital Writing.
The world we live in today has become digital—almost artificial for the most part—and so is writing.
When it comes to online writing, I’ve seen many people make so many mistakes while trying to carve a space for themselves. Even some internet marketers and YouTubers who post “make money online” opportunities fall into this trap.
I understand that many people are looking to make quick money online through writing. If you fall into that category, this post might not be for you—though you may still gain one or two valuable insights if you stick around.
However, if you’re interested in building a strong, lasting, and profitable business in the digital writing space, then please stick around as I walk you through this journey.
As an online writer, I’ve been on the internet for quite a while and have written for some companies. In addition, I’ve read extensively and done research on online writing and what it truly takes to build a successful business around it.
This series, “The Laws of Digital Writing,” is a conglomerate and a distillation of my experiences and research.
So kindly follow me to keep up with this series.
Introduction
There are two types of writing today. The first is analog writing.
Gone are the days when analog writing thrived—when people believed you had to be like Hemingway, Faulkner, or Bukowski to become a writer. They believed that to be a writer, you first had to detach yourself from the world, isolate yourself in some old cabin in the woods (and God forbid it has internet), put on a chapeau, smoke a corn-cob pipe, sit on a rocking chair, and stare through the window while waiting for inspiration.
And if you died doing this, then you would be thought to have lived the life of a “true” writer.
But there is another type of writing—a better one. It’s called digital writing.
Digital writers are people—you and I (that is, if you’re not the type who locks himself away in a cabin waiting for inspiration)—who live in the internet age and have come to realize the inadequacies that kept so many talented writers 30, 40, 50… even 100 years ago from being heard.
Digital writers don’t run away from life and hide in isolated cabins. No. They incorporate their lives into their writing. They don’t hide in private—no. They practice in public, using social platforms to air their opinions.
They write, post, gather feedback, learn what works, and replicate it to produce desired results.
And if you fall into this category, then in my next post, I’d like to show you The Laws of Digital Writing—principles you can incorporate into your writing journey to produce powerful results.
I’ve seen this work for great online writers, and it can work for you too.

Thank you.
