SelfHelp guru, who I have to admit has some quite compelling ideas and perspectives.

DanKoe on writing :

• 1) choose a topic you can't shut up about
• 2) brainstorm your unique perspective
  • novelty -> attention (how to do this)
  • braindump common problems
  • benefits of overcoming
  • common goals
  • roadblocks
  • personal experience
  • piece together and explain as if talking to a friend
• 3) write 500-1000 words on the topic per a week
  • balance of depth and growth
  • long form newsletter
  • short form (eg. twitter)
• 4) deconstruct and simplify ideas for posts
  • rewrite
• 5) learn how to get writing shared
  • writing is 20% traffic is 80%
• 6) monetize experience
  • create product or services
