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
