Online Creators Are Boring As Hell
Don’t fall for the hype of easy money
“These are the best writers on Medium right now…”
That was the tweet I saw a couple of weeks ago, followed by around 10 names, maybe half of whom I recognised. I saw a similar list of Twitter writers around the same time. I was momentarily irritated I wasn’t on the one about Medium (hey, we all have egos), but then it hit me…
All of these “writers” are boring as fuck.
And I say “writers” because while technically they are writing, in reality it’s just non-stop content creation about self-improvement.
Now look, I’m not going to sit here and criticise a bunch of people for writing self-improvement, because I do a tonne of it myself. I ain’t a hypocrite.
Where we differ though, is that every single one of these people are solely self-improvement writers who produce stuff that, to me at least, is repetitive, uninspired and not insightful.
Most of these people are also earning significant, even massive cash.
- So and so ghostwrites tweets and earns $40k a month.
- So and so just sold $80k worth of his course in the first week.
