Some Sunday Thoughts on Writing.

Sitting in a squat stance this morning after returning from my Sunday run, I held my phone and opened Instagram to see what's going on.

A video by one of the people who have influenced my digital life appeared on the screen and I gave it all the attention before logging off Instagram. I am talking about Dan Koe in one of his recent posts where he was reminding us why writing is the greatest digital skill you can learn.

I have always preached the importance of writing here at Nick's letters. In fact, there are several past emails where I talked about writing and its benefits to the human mind.

On a personal note, writing helped me get clarity about my digital marketing career when I decided to major in the type of writing used for marketing purposes. We call this type of writing, copywriting. And I have never gone back.

Now this video by Dan Koe interested me so much that I made the decision that very morning while still in the squat stance to send you a Sunday email passing to you this wisdom.

Dan is someone I agree with. That yes, writing is the greatest skill you can ever learn.

So he gave 4 reasons for this and I am going to give them to you directly one by one.

Let us go!

  1. Writing helps you to think better.

  2. Writing helps you to document your growth and development.

  3. Writing helps you attract people to your work.

  4. Writing is the foundation of media. Blogs, articles, white papers, strategies, podcasts and so on are originally written.

These points by Dan Koe are indeed to be believed and more than that, to be acted upon.

Because writing can take your life to a point you never thought. Without a doubt, if you learn how to write, there is no way you will not reap those benefits mentioned by Dan Koe if you want to. Because it is the greatest digital skill you can ever learn.

If you are reading this email on Sunday, respond and let me know how writing has impacted your life.

I’ve added something new for those who enjoy Nick’s Letters.

They’re called Support Cards. Nick's letter support cards are small, one-time ways to show love for the work I share here.

Each card represents a contribution to this writing journey, and to the ideas I try to explore: self-employment, freedom, craft, clarity... and all the rough roads in between.

There are three support cards. A black one, a silver one and a gold one.

The black support card is low tier and you can buy it at only KES157.

The silver support card is mid tier and you can buy it for only KES387.

The gold support card is premium tier and you can buy it at only KES1061.
