If you’re new to my channel… hey there!

My name is Nicolas Cole and I’ve been writing online since 2007.

Since then, I’ve generated over a billion views on my writing, written 10+ books, and built multiple 7+ figure writing-related businesses, including two of the largest writing programs on the Internet: Ship 30 for 30 & Premium Ghostwriting Academy.

I have made millions of dollars writing online, so I fundamentally reject this narrative (pun intended) “nobody makes a living as a writer.”

Yes, you absolutely can make a living as a writer. In fact, you can make more than just a living. You can make tons of money as a writer… IF… you’re a digital writer, and embrace learning the new skills required to thrive in a digital world.

Which is why I started this YouTube channel.

Consider me your Digital Writing Mentor!

On this channel I talk about:

- Digital Writing
- Ghostwriting
- Writing With AI
- Self-Publishing
- Writing Services & Business Models

So if you have any questions, drop me a comment on any video and I’ll answer them in a future video!

Keep writing,

Cole

If you’re new to my podcast… hey there! 

My name is Nicolas Cole and I’ve been writing online since 2007. 

Since then, I’ve generated over a billion views on my writing, written 10+ books, and built multiple 7+ figure writing-related businesses, including two of the largest writing programs on the Internet: Ship 30 for 30 & Premium Ghostwriting Academy. 

I have made millions of dollars writing online, so I fundamentally reject this narrative (pun intended) “nobody makes a living as a writer.”

Yes, you absolutely can make a living as a writer. In fact, you can make more than just a living. You can make tons of money as a writer… IF… you’re a digital writer, and embrace learning the new skills required to thrive in a digital world. 

Which is why I started this YouTube channel.

Consider me your Digital Writing Mentor!

On this podcast I talk about:

• Digital Writing
• Ghostwriting
• Writing With AI
• Self-Publishing
• Writing Services & Business Models

So if you have any questions, drop me a comment on any video and I’ll answer them in a future video!

Keep writing,

Cole

Why write a book when you can earn 100x more with the same content? In this video, I break down the AI writing trend no one is talking about—how nonfiction writers can repurpose their work into high-value long-form AI prompts and digital tools.

If you're a nonfiction writer, author, or content creator, this is the biggest opportunity you're missing—and it’s hiding in plain sight. Let’s talk about how to turn your knowledge into scalable income in the age of AI.

In this video, I share my ”Goal, Time, Money” Framework I've used for years to make high-stakes decisions and actually achieve my goals. Most people try to chase all three at once—more time, more money, and more progress on personal goals—but the truth is, each one comes at a cost. I break down why identifying your true priority is the only way to make real progress, how to become aware of the trade-offs, and how to avoid the trap of spinning your wheels. If you're tired of feeling stuck and want a practical mindset shift to outperform everyone around you, this framework will change the way you think about progress.

This episode is an excerpt from our Premium Ghostwriting Academy Hot Seat live session, where we discuss why follow-ups are more than just a sales tactic—they’re a way to help clients make decisions. Many people hesitate to follow up because they don’t want to seem pushy, but in reality, most clients are just busy or unsure about the next step.

This episode features a clip from our Premium Ghostwriting Academy Hot Seat live session, where we break down why educating potential clients is more effective than trying to convince them.

We’ll talk about how to guide these conversations so they lead to better client relationships and more business.

(0:00 - 1:38) – Introduction and the challenge of convincing clients who think their content is good enough

(1:39 - 4:05) – Why educating clients works better than trying to convince them

(7:47 - 12:00) – Why strong writing alone isn’t enough—other skills that make writers more valuable

(12:01 - 17:02) – How focusing on one problem builds trust and leads to more opportunities

This episode features a clip from our Premium Ghostwriting Academy Hot Seat live session, where we discuss how to give clients clear, constructive feedback. Many people avoid telling clients what’s not working because they don’t want to risk upsetting them. But good feedback, shared the right way, builds trust and leads to better results. We’ll cover how to present your ideas, why making your suggestions tangible matters, and how to position yourself as a helpful partner rather than just another service provider.

In this keynote from our ghostwriting mastermind event, I break down my key strategy, the *Organic Content Vortex,* and how to use it to create a $100K ghostwriting offer. Most ghostwriters struggle with scaling because they either serve *one service to many clients* or *many services to a few high-value clients*. I dive into the strategy behind becoming a *linchpin* in a client’s business, building offers that naturally *lead to higher retainers*, and leveraging *organic content funnels* to keep prospects engaged until they convert. If you're a ghostwriter looking to scale beyond $10K/month and land premium clients, this is for you.

🔹 How to transition from $10K to $50K to $100K offers

🔹 The Organic Content Vortex that keeps leads in your ecosystem

🔹 Why high-ticket clients don’t buy expensive services upfront—and what to do instead

Why Ghostwriters Make More $$$ Than Freelance Writers

Hey there!

My name is Nicolas Cole, and I have been writing on the Internet since 2007.

Today, I run a portfolio of writing businesses that does over $5,000,000 in annual revenue. My books, products, programs, and platforms are what I wish I'd had at the beginning of my writing career—back when I was 23 years old, had just graduated college with a degree in Fiction Writing, and had no idea how to make money as a writer.

My goal with this YouTube channel is to pass along everything I've learned (and am still learning) about digital writing, ghostwriting, self-publishing, and becoming a multi-millionaire digital writer with you.

So, if you want to know how to turn your passion for writing into a lucrative career, and you're looking for a digital writing mentor, maybe I can help. Everything I share on this channel is from hard-learned lessons in the trenches. I've made every mistake out there. Hopefully, you pick up a golden nugget or two that helps you on your journey. (And if I earn your trust, I hope to see you in one of our programs!)

"Nobody makes a living as a writer."

I hate that cliché—and I've proved it's not true.

Keep practicing your art. Keep learning about the business.

And most importantly, keep writing.

Cole

If you're struggling, thinking that your niche is too saturated or that competition is killing your client opportunities, this episode is for you. The problem isn’t anything your’e telling yourself.
