In this video I'll be sitting down with @DavidPerellChannel to discuss the paths we took to make money online through writing and YouTube. We discuss how to get started, our tips for getting better, how to identify & use your unfair advantages, and the different ways to monetise an audience. Let me know if you want to see more videos like this in the future :)
