It may seem like robots are going to steal all the jobs, but Internet-native ways to earn a living are going to steal all the workers first
example: an aspiring screenwriter realizing they can make way more money doing freelance writing work online than bartending
And of course there are all sorts of way wilder things starting to happen...

This @nick_dewilde piece explains one: junglegym.substack.com/p/playing-earn…

Ape NFTs:
• Over-hyped
• Dopey-looking
• Largely a signal that you're rich

Penguin NFTs:
• Cute
• Hilarious
• Only cost $30, forever shrouding your net worth in mystery
This is your sign to waste $30 on a jpeg of a penguin smoking a cigarette: opensea.io/collection/32p…

I interview successful online writers.

Some are doing $1M+ in revenue – others have built six-figure audiences.

No two succeeded in the same way.

Here's one quote + one lesson from each (thread):
“I spend very little time on distribution, partly because I find that the better the writing, the more it spreads.”
–Lenny Rachitsky (@lennysan)

Lesson: good writing is the foundation for growth.
“People choose products based on the single thing that they care about the most.”
–Steph Smith (@stephsmithio)

Lesson: don’t be average at a few things, be exceptional at one.

If there's anything I've learned launching startups the past 10 years, it's this:

How we talk about startups barely resembles what they're actually like.

Here are some things most people don't understand about startups (thread):
Startup failure rates are way lower than most people think.

They're still brutal, but they're not 90%+.

Lots of people make life-changing money by starting startups.

Also, new money is pouring in and de-risking the entire ecosystem.
95% of a startup's "competitive advantage" early on is just giving a shit.

Investors and founders waste way too much time talking about strategy.

What matters is if founders care 10x more about a problem than a salaried employee elsewhere.

If so, they’ll figure out how to win.

I've now asked 30+ successful newsletter writers how they got their first 1,000 subscribers.

Their answers are amazingly similar.

Here's how to go from 0 to 1K subscribers (thread):
First, the high-level lessons:

1. Most growth tactics are simple, not easy.

2. You have to write good stuff for people to subscribe & stick around.

3. It's easier to succeed with a clear niche, but you can succeed without one.

4. Different wins – make your writing distinct.
Now, the tactics.

Here's what most people did to go from zero subscribers to 1,000+...

There is no correlation between how elaborate somebody’s note-taking system is and how interesting their writing is.
At a certain point, the two might be negatively correlated as the more we pull from the ideas of others and our past selves, the less likely we are to say something new.
To say something new, we have to liberate ourselves from the dogma of others and our old ways of thinking.
