I used to be a huge self-sabotager. But our thoughts create our reality, right? It took me a long time to realize that my self-image was so flawed. The stories I told myself like, "I'm a procrastinator," "I'm a slow writer," "It takes me forever to write a rough draft," are just the beginning of the crap stories I was telling myself. Now, I say, "It's easy for me to write best-selling books," "I'm a fast writer," and "I commit to finishing the projects I start." Changing the stories we tell ourselves is crucial to success!! And I firmly believe that embracing the technology available to us, will put those writers ahead of the rest. Great video, Jason!

"A lot of people go on social media and complain." No truer statement has ever been said.

@Finnleigh.Jackson4141 День назад

You are a good speaker. I wish I would have that ability to speak as flawless and clearly as you do.

@alexey635able 21 день назад

I got vitenam flashbacks from this of writers gatekeeping other writers and calling it “writing advices”

@canaisyoung3601 14 дней назад

But this doesn't feel like gatekeeping. It's the common sense stuff everyone doesn't realize or willfully ignores, especially the health and marketing stuff.

I identified with you as soon as I saw you. The shirt, the weight, and your quest for health. If you still have good legs I would recommend rucking. Get a pack (Goruck makes the best but any comfortable every day carry pack will do). Add five to ten pounds to the pack and start walking. In addition to wearing the pack on walks wear it anywhere you can. Increase the weight over time until your pack weighs between 30 and 40 pounds. You will lose weight, strengthen bones, and you'll see weight loss quickly. Besides, if you're like me your creative juices flow better when you are walking. I appreciate you and your channel and what it is doing for me. If I can help you in any way please let me know. Again, thanks for what you are doing for fledgling writers.

I love your definition of marketing. And I agree, most people neglect the business side, and the marketing. I used to feel that marking was very slimy, scummy, and predatory. These days, it's really more like farming or fishing with big nets.. trying to get your stuff to the people who need it or would want it.

Avoid the anti-AI haters too.

Y'know, when the sewing machine was invented, they thought it would put seamstresses out of work. Of course, it made them more productive and therefore more valuable.

Thanks for the video. I started with using of AI early too but really increased after finding your channel. For me, marketing is the most difficult thing. I have no idea, how to reach my audience. I have websites for me and my Pseudonyme for years but no visitors or newsletter subscribers. I tried Amazon ads but it costed more than I earned with the books. I tried Facebook ads years ago and failing hard. Maybe you could make a video about that, like you Amazon kdp video? Would really like to become better with marketing.

@r.e.holding 21 день назад

I agree with your assessment of embracing technology - there are creatives out there that will severely castigate anyone exploring the use of AI. What are your thoughts on peers tearing each other down over the use of AI?

@canaisyoung3601 14 дней назад

I think he has a RU-vid short about that, and it's pretty much: ignore the people who think AI is detrimental to creativity because (a) it's not if you add your input to it, and (b) AI is going to be widespread anyway, so it's foolish to just pretend it doesn't exist.

How do you market a project when you have no social media presence?

@TheNerdyNovelist 11 дней назад

You start building one. Pick just one social media platform and specialize in it. Just one. Or you could choose an advertising or content marketing platform instead.

I'm not afraid of AI I just keep procrastinating I think because AI continues to get better so in my mind I'm thinking if I wait it will be more advanced then if I use it right at this moment . I've used ai and I'm trying to use it to edit my book and it seems kind of clumsy right now, but maybe today it's better

@georgerichards6629 3 дня назад

AI is going to replace writers. It's just a matter of when. Until that happens, the best thing to do is to use AI as a tool.

@AutumnAprodithe 20 дней назад

I use AI to correct grammar errors with Chat GPT. Too bad I can't afford an editor.

@canaisyoung3601 14 дней назад

That's why I got ChatGPT: I want/need a low- to no-cost writing partner, ghostwriter, and assistant editor (I am good at spotting grammar errors thanks to being an English/writing class nerd, but an extra pair of eyes always helps), though ChatGPT (and other AI programs) can do more for me in the writing department than just that. I just have to spend more time on it and learn.

FYI - have you tried Carnivore or Keto for your weight loss? I've lost 39 pounds - 30+ more to go - and it's been a game changer, not only for my weight, but my mental health, especially my mood. In fact, it's the ONLY way of eating I've ever been successful at long term (going on 6 months now). That is a First!☺

@TheNerdyNovelist 20 дней назад

I did Keto. It did some nasty things to my health.

@@TheNerdyNovelist sorry to hear that. There are a ton of ways to do it - I follow Dr. Eric Westman's plan, which is essentially the induction phase of Atkins. Hope you find what works best for you. Take care!
