the one thing most writers aren't doing (but the best ones are)

Here’s an underrated writing tip:

Stop writing. Start drawing.

Images transfer to the mind 15x faster than text.

And yet, most writers don’t leverage images at all.

Except for a handful:

• Dan Koe

• Jack Butcher

• Kieran Drew

There’s a reason these guys are successful.

They play on our eyes.

They don’t just use text. They use pictures.

We’re way better at understanding, sharing and nurturing a good image then we are a few sentences.

And art and design is such an important part of a writer’s career.

It shows that you’re not just a writer, you’re an idea articulator. A problem solver.

Here’s 3 ways to leverage visuals in your writing (to clarify and enhance your ideas):

1/ Visualize Value

Take your favorite quotes, ideas and concepts in writing or your niche.

Try to find a way to express it in a visual form.

You do this in two ways:

A: Using contrasting perspectives (this is bad, this is good, do good thing)
B: Use transformations (point A —> point B)

A few examples:

You can use Figma or Canva for these.

Canva is easy for beginners. But I like Figma. More practical :)

Restrict yourself to using 2-3 colors per image.

2/ Use Yourself

People love to see you. You’ll get sick of yourself before your fans do.

Always be sure to show people a bit of yourself.

This was super hard for me, I thought I had to become some sort of micro-influencer.

But the truth is?

Not everyone wants a life story.

Some people just want to see you around!

So, show yourself.

The occasional selfie always works :)

3/ Use Your Life

Your social media page is just one big story.

What would a story be without some world-building?

The next time the sky looks nice, take a picture.

The next time you see a nice book quote, take a picture.

The next time you see a pretty girl, take a pi-

Okay maybe not that.

But you need to share bits of your life to win the entirety of peoples minds.

You do this best with VISUALS. Duh.

Remember:

Don’t stay away from images just because you write.

You should use and abuse them.

The best writers do. Because they know they work :)

PS: If you’re struggling with writing, don’t worry.

It can suck.

You feel like nobody understands and grasps your ideas properly.

So you lose clients, followers and attention.

I was in the exact same boat

But the truth is?

All you need is the right knowledge and the right guidance.

I can give you that guidance in my 1:1 mentorship program.
