You don’t need to copy top writers to succeed
Here’s why
“Why can't people talk in a process without too much blabbering?”
Shots fired.
Luckily, this wasn’t meant for me.
While scrolling on YouTube, I stumbled upon an interesting video by a famous creator.
You’ve probably heard of Dan Koe.
If not, here’s a quick rundown:
He has a substantial presence on almost every social media platform out there.
He earns millions of dollars per year writing content online.
His content is well-researched and in-depth.
You might think he’s got it all figured out.
Millions of followers and dollars earned mean something, right?
He’s the idol of many online writers.
Seeing his success makes you wonder. Is there any room left for beginners or content creators who are not so successful?
Some would say NO.
But the truth is different.
After looking through the comments, I noticed something.
Not everyone loves his content:
They don’t like the length of his content.
They don’t like the spiritual and philosophical mix.
They don’t like the effort it takes to read and understand the content.
Take a look at this comment:
The dude is not enjoying it. And nine other people agree.
This made me realize you don’t have to write in-depth philosophical content like Dan Koe does to succeed.
Not everyone loves that content.
Some prefer short and straight-to-the-point content.
This means there’s still room left for people like you and me.
You can zig while they zag.
That’s how you differentiate and stand out.
This might sound cliché, but don’t get discouraged if you can’t write long masterpieces.
Worry about being useful.
Talk to you soon ✌️

P.S.: If you struggle with structuring your content or don’t know where to start, templates can make the process easier.
They give you a framework to work with, so you can focus on sharing your ideas instead of overthinking the format.
If you want to turn content creation on easy mode, check out the Social Content Template Pack.
I agree; I honestly prefer straight-to-the-point content instead of all the fillers and fluff. Thanks for sharing this perspective.
