Writing is a medium of human communication that represents language and emotion through the inscription or recording of signs and symbols. In most languages, writing is a complement to speech or spoken language. Writing is not a language but a form of technology that developed as tools developed with human society. Within a language system, writing relies on many of the same structures as speech, such as vocabulary, grammar and semantics, with the added dependency of a system of signs or symbols. The result of writing is generally called text, and the recipient of text is called a reader. Motivations for writing include publication, storytelling, correspondence and diary. Writing has been instrumental in keeping history, maintaining culture, dissemination of knowledge through the media and the formation of legal systems. It is also an important medium of expressing oneself by way of written words as do authors, poets and the like.
As human societies emerged, the development of writing was driven by pragmatic exigencies such as exchanging information, maintaining financial accounts, codifying laws and recording history. Around the 4th millennium BCE, the complexity of trade and administration in Mesopotamia outgrew human memory, and writing became a more dependable method of recording and presenting transactions in a permanent form. In both Ancient Egypt and Mesoamerica writing may have evolved through calendrics and a political necessity for recording historical and environmental events.

How I Made $6.9 Million Writing 2 Hours A Day
If you've been here a while, you know this is pretty much a re-recording of a previous video. There's a reason for that: to show that by doing this for multiple years, the results start to compound. In my first year I made around $10,000 (outside of previous freelancing). Year two was $100k, then $150k, then $800k (previous video), then ~$4m, then a little under $2m (because I split traffic to a new business).
While there are actionable parts of this video, I want the main lesson to be this: iterate on a system, in a high leverage area, for multiple years, not a few weeks.

If you've been here a while, you know this is pretty much a re-recording of a previous video. There's a reason for that: to show that by doing this for multiple years, the results start to compound. In my first year I made around $10,000 (outside of previous freelancing). Year two was $100k, then $150k, then $800k (previous video), then ~$4m, then a little under $2m (because I split traffic to a new business).
While there are actionable parts of this video, I want the main lesson to be this: iterate on a system, in a high leverage area, for multiple years, not a few weeks.

Writing is a medium of human communication that represents language and emotion through the inscription or recording of signs and symbols. In most languages, writing is a complement to speech or spoken language. Writing is not a language but a form of technology that developed as tools developed with human society. Within a language system, writing relies on many of the same structures as speech, such as vocabulary, grammar and semantics, with the added dependency of a system of signs or symbols. The result of writing is generally called text, and the recipient of text is called a reader. Motivations for writing include publication, storytelling, correspondence and diary. Writing has been instrumental in keeping history, maintaining culture, dissemination of knowledge through the media and the formation of legal systems. It is also an important medium of expressing oneself by way of written words as do authors, poets and the like.
As human societies emerged, the development of writing was driven by pragmatic exigencies such as exchanging information, maintaining financial accounts, codifying laws and recording history. Around the 4th millennium BCE, the complexity of trade and administration in Mesopotamia outgrew human memory, and writing became a more dependable method of recording and presenting transactions in a permanent form. In both Ancient Egypt and Mesoamerica writing may have evolved through calendrics and a political necessity for recording historical and environmental events.
