How to Make Money Online 

Ali! Thanks for hosting me on the channel. I literally flew halfway across the world for this collaboration and it was totally worth it. Now that the video is live, I want to provide some more color about why people should get started as online writers, regardless of whether they want to eventually start a blog or a RU-vid channel. 1. Attract friends and business partners: It's hard to meet people as passionate about learning as you are. But when you publish your ideas, you attract people who think like you. The more niche the topic, the easier it is to attract people on your intellectual wavelength. 2. Writing helps you understand yourself. All of us have unprocessed feelings and emotions. Writing is the best way to identify what's making you uncomfortable. By writing, you gain clarity in your life. The increased clarity you receive reduces stress and anxiety in your life. 3. Writing accelerates your learning: If you want to understand a topic better, start teaching it. The act of putting ideas into your own words tattoos them into your mind. As James Clear once said: "If you think you can learn a lot by reading a book, try writing one." 4. Writing makes you more observant: Whenever you write something, new parts of the world come alive. Every experience, every conversation, and everything you read becomes a potential future sentence. That's why writing regularly wakes you up and makes your mind come alive. 5. Writing establishes expertise: Excellent essays attract excellent people. If you write well about a topic, the world's experts will reach out to you. Since writing is a record of your best ideas, your essays will double as a resume that demonstrates your intellectual rigor. 6. Writing will accelerate your career: Good writers are clear thinkers and clear thinkers are rewarded at work. By writing, you can gain outsized influence in your company and establish yourself as an industry expert, which will attract opportunities. 7. Writing attracts opportunities: Every article you publish is like a serendipity vehicle. High-level people who resonate with your ideas will reach out to you with career opportunities you couldn't have imagined. Thus, writing maximizes your surface area of exposure to luck. 8. Writing improves your thinking: Mathematicians put their ideas on the whiteboard because writing out your ideas lets you tackle harder problems. Writing is the same. By putting ideas onto the page, you can transcend the limits of scattered thinking and explore ideas deeply. 9. Writing online forces you to think better: Thinking in public raises your standard for quality. When I was a kid, our house was always cleanest when guests would come over. The same is true for writing. You think better when you know you're going to be seen and critiqued. Finally, I think it's worth answering one more question: Why is now the time to write? It's never been easier for average people to share their ideas. If you write well, your ideas will find their way to some of the smartest and most successful people in the world. As your reputation grows, so will the opportunities available to you. Writing regularly is one of the best habits you can build.

Success is about focusing Your energy on what creates results and using what you already know

I urge everyone to start somewhere now no matter how small, this is literally the time for that, forget material things , don’t get tempted

I used to be a complete newbie , I knew nothing about all of this but was always very intrigued by it , that was years ago , today I consider myself a pro and my future is looking brighter every day

I am extremely glad I was able to join in when I did , basically the best decision I ever made this year, never been so happy

When you stop learning, you get left behind. Never stop educating yourself

Finally someone who is willing to teach us younger guys instead of pushing some course on us. Appreciate it

Its never too late to start from somewhere , I am lucky to have found this source, it’s the future

Credit score is not something used in all countries though. In France, they determine if you are eligible to get a loan (e.g., to buy a house) based on the ratio between your salary, your expenses and your savings. Basically, if every month you 'burn' all your money, you're perceived as riskier than someone earning less but consistently making deposits to a saving account. I feel in the US people tend to buy things they don't need with money they don't have... The only times I feel one should need a credit is when buying 'big' things (house, car, etc.). Not for a TV. I’m 26 with over 800 credit score, time was put into that to build it up by Alphaearners

Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance wealth, a great career, purpose is the result of hard work. 🤑🤑

"Document the things you're learning, don't create new contents" Brilliant! Thank you!

Successful people don't become that way overnight. most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..

Hey! Nice video. I'm actually looking for the best way to start investment and make good profit in it, can someone tell me how to go about it?

The dynamic duo! How clever to have you both sitting together, intentionally collaborating the conversation with helpful tips and encouraging us to create and publish. Lots of inspiration from you two! Thank you both!

This video is soo amazing! I was feeling so shitty and overwhelmed by not meeting my goal of posting every single day and starting out writing. This video is God showing me exactly what I need to do. Thank you both so much for this. I hope I can collaborate with both of you in the near future.

Quote that resonated: There are no unique messages, there are only unique messengers. Nice cheers Ali 👍

Great vid! This should be an episode on the Deep Dive podcast!

I drove my first car in my dad's name and later went to get a truck in mine after I paid off my first one and drove off the lot with the truck I wanted, its mostly about a good credit score and a loan portfolio helps as well...lenders like to see various forms of loans in your name to be less of a risk and yes you might have to put money down but not HALF of the car loan Your exactly right I screwed my credit as a young man now I own a detailing company and can't get anything with out the full amount of cash. I'm working on my credit to get better with Alphaearners Love the knowledge keep it up

This is my alltime favorite video you have ever made. You answered so my questions that I had no idea I had in the first place. You really showed a path to success to stating online.

I will forever appreciate this investment program, it helped me and my family a lot, your advice and lessons are inspirational helpful to us, I now earn every week. You’re such a blessing to this generation, we all love you

The best decision I ever made in my life was investing in financial market. Trust me guys, it pays!😊

Get you someone who looks at you like David looks at Ali 😄 That architect/archaeologist example is brilliant. "Document, don't create." New philosophy for 2022. This video is full of gems. More videos like this, please, Ali!

I find this content is honestly so packed with value! I literally just started watching the video and after a minute I had to pause 'cause it gave me an idea for what my second video could be on my channel!! I'll start writing a script after I finish watching.

AlphaEarners this isn’t the first time you have done something incredible, you are the future no cap

As someone with a channel contemplating writing, literally most perfect video for what's happening now, watched entire whole vid lol, thanks Ali!! :D

Lovely collaboration. Some gems dropped in there! Truly Inspirational! Thanks

This is SO BRILLIANT. Seriously, love you guys together. Great energy and SO VALUABLE

Me, literally figuring out in a 30th minute the lovely soundtrack in the background! Love the personal addition, Ali. Makes the whole thing a lot more relaxing and pleasurable !

🚀 Summary of this video 1. Get started by sharing ideas, as you do, you'll learn more about what you're writing or making a video about. 2. Position yourself as an expert, by listening for feedback (especially compliments) 3. When people come to see your stuff, eventually ask them to be part of your email list (also make something compelling for them to subscribe to you for) 4. Audience will give you more ideas which will be free ideas for you to talk about and give more value back to the audience. This will get more and more monetized as people will want to hire you or pay you to help them do something. 🎨 Impressions Time and time again, productivity books say "just do it, don't think about it", you'll get better the more you do it, not doing it perfect the first time. This was reiterated in different ways throughout the video through the pottery parable and the RU-vidrs own creative journeys. ☘️ How this video changed me It reionforces the idea of "just do it" and "keep an eye out for monetizeability" ✍️ Favourite quotes "Having the freedom to explore ideas for a living is the gift that makes that hard work worth doing" - David Perell

The amount of value this video brought to me is something I would've never imagine I would find for free. Your channel never disapoints. Im currently evaluating about persuing a career on content creation, and everything that was said here simply gave me an energy boost to go for it. I believe that the ability to inspire people is the ultimate goal for a content creator, and you two did that for me. Thanks!

Building an audience is hard, but it’s SO worth it to build a community of people with whom you can share and learn and grow! Consistency is key, and I’m trying hard to maintain it - will definitely save these lessons for future reference! So excited to watch this after work!!

I find that the "Steal Like an Artist" philosophy may be one of the most important takeaways here for me personally. The idea that there are no new messages but we're all unique messengers (or something) and that it's not possible for us to use another idea for inspiration without making our own personal mark on it in our retelling/representation of it, so it's okay to get inspiration from others' successes, that we don't need to reinvent the wheel, but we still bring our own unique perspective to the table. This is beautiful, and just what I needed to see today to get myself unstuck. Thank you for everything you do, and for introducing us to the best ideas of so many other experts at the same time!

after all those videos on how to make money online...yours really aligned with what I want to do/start. This video helped understand the process more. Plus, it's really ACTUALLY in detail AND concise!! thank you for making this video and for the algorithm spirits bringing it to me.

Get you a partner that looks at you the way David looks at Ali.

Thank you for this information ! I’m an international Speech Pathologist and I’m passionate about my therapy sessions with Pediatrics . I plan to inform parents , give creative fun tips for carry over for therapy goals and some other ideas to help children advance in their communication !I love the saying “your drive attracts your tribe “♥️👌🏼

Glad to see these kind of content on your channel which gives "real value" to viewers. Keep on the good job!

I’m currently trying to learn how to make money online so this is really helpful. You’re the best Ali ☺️🙏🏽

It's been 5 months since I started my investment journey and everything has been going perfectly well still , I hope 2022 brings the best for all of us

Its funny how David is a more enthusiastic extroverted character and yet he's a writer wheras Ali is a more laid back introverted character and he's a youtuber LOL. What a stark difference to what they do and yet both are killing it. :)

Thank you so much for sharing such practical tips that are broken down so well! I enjoy speaking but too lazy to get started and editing, I made some and i loved it. So like you said, have to push myself just to make videos first, then one video per week and then 1 good video per week.

This was a really good video. I started my blog in 2017 and my RU-vid channel in 2021 and it's really been slow but the ideas you that you both have shared has made me rethink how I make content. Hopefully, I can start to make better progress soon!

Genuinely incredible insight into both crafts - you two have an excellent chemistry and deliver great tips for both writers and RU-vidrs. I’ve just started my blog on Medium (I’d highly recommend this platform for writers) and my RU-vid channel will be coming this year. I’ve taken many notes from this video, amazing work guys

Nice one here, though I prefer trading with the help of a professional trader, I believe it saves me time and reduces the risk involved in managing my trades.

There is a three second clip from Adventures in Babysitting called “one stitch.” Ali took the other path in the wood. I’ve been that “one stitch” burnt out veterinarian for way too long. So glad to have a great mentor and inspiration in Ali and really excited to see this video on the two paths (which may be somewhat convergent). Thanks again you two!

First time watching. Video worth more than 30 million view, You explained terminology and used real world examples to explain their relevance. I love it, Great job, ill,be subscribing

That acronyms C.R.I.B.S is cool and one of the best one I heard on this video... They both made me watch this video till the end... This is so beneficial to me...

Thanks a lot Ali, I was actually thinking earlier today of becoming either a RU-vidr or an article writer as a side hustle in college. And I've finally found my answer. Have a great day.

What an fantastic video! Thanks so much for taking the time and for all the amazing knowledge you shared with us. I took lots of notes and this has really inspired me to focus on helping people by sharing my ideas!

This was really interesting! I’m a small RU-vidr (just started) who teaches artists and writers how to make money with their creativity: not all the tips of this video can apply to my clients, but a few things are certainly helpful. Thanks a lot for making this!

This was really a collab worth it, because we have literally gotten the double sidedness of both of your skill sets, am grateful Coach

Thanks Ali, Big Fan. Just don't know why but watched the whole 37 minute video without skipping at any point and didn't even get distracted. Really interesting and a video i have been waiting for. Thanks, Nevan Ashad

I loved the growing your audience section. Thanks!

This is such an amazing video! We need more of this. I have started my blog in 2018 but I have never put 100% efforts into it because of school and procrastination. But this year is the year I want to take it to the next level. Thanks for the push Ali

Two of my favorite online people on the same table, one crushing youtube and the other long-form writing. It was great learning about your journeys - the commonalities as well as the uniqueness.

These videos are genuinely so helpful - amazing content!

Ali, thank you so much for providing content like this!

You know it is a good day if you get another productivity-based Gem from Ali! Great insights here.. I need to incorporate writing and blogging into my setup so this was right on time! Thank you Ali

This video is fantastic in terms of production quality and the depth of content! I genuinely love your channel, Ali! Can't wait to see your next entrepreneurial endeavours!

super helpful as someone starting out on RU-vid :) Thanks Ali!!!! love ur vids

Thanks guys! You both made me confident to start. Thanks for making this video 🙌

Great video, this will help so *many* people. You are so inspiring Ali!

As both a writer and small RU-vidr, this immediately piqued my interest. Thanks for posting this!

This was mind-blowing. The chemistry between you two is electrifying

Thanks for making this video. feeling proud to find you on my journey before reaching 20 😊

Thanks for another amazing and helpful video Ali! Also thank you for introducing us to David and the idea of writing! I never thought about leveraging social media in that way and would love to learn more about it.

I started watching your videos earlier last year as a beginner before giving stocks a trial and I've been able to scale from $120K to $280K, I did get an advisor for supervision and accountability as you recommended.Thanks Dr Ali. Please leave medicine forever...lol

This video is literally gold, I dont think this information will be shared by anyone for free

It's like you're listening to an introvert and extrovert talking about their ways of life. Presented incredibly ✊

This was a really engaging collaboration on a format that’s generally incredibly boring. I think it’s because this was less interview-ey and more presentation. I don’t see that much. Really nice, Ali. I’ve watched dozens of your videos and I think this is the first time I’ve commented. I’m a bad fellow youtuber haha. We should talk shop on courses/education sometime. I run a much leaner machine, but think we’ve got a similar revenue.

Great video, Ali! I started my Anime blog 5 months ago and this channel 4 months ago, and have been putting efforts into them. I must say, creating content is tough but when it drives some traffic then you get motivation to push out more content. Building a community is what matters tbh.

Amazing video. Watched till the end and took a lot of notes. Thank you for this amazing collaboration.

I'm getting myself into both worlds, so this video is worth more than gold to me!

Amazing video - great to hear from the two different perspectives and some great actionable advice as well- thanks!

To sum it all up, just start. Don’t think too hard about what to do. You might have lots of various ideas about how to execute the “perfect” video, and you might worry that it‘ll be a failure-but that is just gonna hold you back. Start recording your first video, set it into motion. Publish it even if it’s not up to your standard. Don’t be disheartened if there aren’t that many views. Everyone goes through this phase. Some overcome it, while others give up. You can hone your video editing skills as you go. Follow trends that you see on RU-vid. Watch a video that has millions of views and see how you can take the same video while adding your own changes here and there for that ‘originality’.

The greatest point of this kind of video is you have a note which cover up every point of the video that is provide in each section. It will turn this infomative video on to the next level of detail with 1 simple action

That's an amazing and helpful talk😍 Thanks for it 😊

Starting out is always the hardest part. Sometimes you just have to say f*ck it and start yknow, don't wait for things to be perfect.

Every time I doubt my thought or feel like searching for videos that I wish to check out, [Like the Kindle video, podcasts, and now this!!!] Ali just covers that topic RIGHT WHEN NEEDED. You're making me feel like you telepathically connect with the viewers (for me at least) Ali ;-;

I have always had a deep interest in this and would really love to start from somewhere anywhere actually , I believe this is what our future is all about

I just can't believe that we have the opportunity to see all of this information right under our eyes. Congrats, guys! So inspiring!

you guys are so cute together

OMG , David Perell is soooo goood! I just subscribed to his RU-vid channel without watching a single video

Thank you for that interesting podcast video. I like that comparison and the similarities and differences discussed. What I learned from it: Just do it! :D

These are all time intensive and some of us don't have this luxury. Is there perhaps any means of making money online that won't require much of your time?

The CRIBS framework/structure for writing was super helpful!

not Ali Abdaal calling himself a waste man. You are such an inspiration

It was very insightful, thank you very much Ali:)

The< volatility of bitcoin and other leading cryptocurrencies makes any kind of price prediction notoriously difficult. After an up-and-down few months for the market, analysts appear divided over which way it heads from here. Some believe we are in a cool-off period that will see the price slide to yearly lows, while others predict new all-time highs before the year ends. So choosing the right investment strategy can reduce your risk and make the most of your money. Trading is a lucrative opportunity as it leverages the market volatility, I have been able to make 3.5 BTC in just 3weeks of trading all thanks to exclusive signals from Paulson Dmitriev a renowned trader that is always one step ahead.

we need an updated desk setup video

Thank you so much for the video :) I am both an artist and writer, so I am working on improving both aspects. I am making RU-vid videos on my art and am writing nearly every single day (journaling, blog posts, fiction and similar things). Trying to get into publishing regularly. I haven't tried getting into twitter but I am considering trying it out now :D Thanks again!

GREAT CONTENT THANKS FOR NOT MISLEADING IS OKAY TO GET ALL FINANCIAL WORRIES SOLVED

Ali has a very cool circle of professionals. Well done! Thanks for the advice!

👆HONESTLY I CAN’T IMAGINE WHY ANYONE WOULD DISLIKE THIS, THIS IS VERY CLEAR AND VERY HELPFUL, KUDOS TO YOU SIR, THEY JUST GOT A NEW CLIENT AND RECOMMENDATION FROM ME, THANK YOU SO MUCH

I can't believe I got so much value out of a 37 minute video! Fantastic one for smaller creators.

Absolutely loved this video guys! Thank you for the golden advice!

The best RU-vid channel in my opinion ☺️, thanks for everything

I am surprised there was no mention of Medium since it tends to be described as the RU-vid for writers. I would love to hear more about monetization that does not center around selling a course. Interesting perspectives.

Very insightful information on the whole business of blogging and RU-vid. Whereas I am now beginning to find the niche of my channel, it’s refreshing to hear you share your knowledge of success. I wish you both the best in your upcoming projects.

Another great value I got just from your channel Ali. I discovered another great person that we can a lot from, too. But I couldn’t find whole video where you talk these in details
