    Absolutely, writing online is a game-changer for sharing ideas globally. For entrepreneurs, combining SEO knowledge with authentic storytelling can dramatically increase your content's reach. Remember, it's not just about writing, but ensuring the right people find and resonate with your words.

    Thank you for this presentation🙇🏻‍♀ Comedy truly is the best antidote, in my humble opinion.... You are a terrific inspiration! The techniques re writing like a comedian are priceless. Best wishes, Andrea S.

    It seems I have to do the honour for this video 😀 And of course I am happy to.
    Here is the excerpt of the talk.
    1. Some writing is solo, like that of Henry David Thoreau. But it is rare.
    2. Most writing is social.
    3. The best people to learn it from are comedians.
    4. Successful executives and comedians write similarly that touches people's hearts.
    5. You should learn to compress your ideas more and more. From a book to an essay to an excerpt to a sentence to few words. A great example is a book called 'The Network State'.
    6. While writing, vary the length of your sentences. It creates music out of words and has a huge impact. Most great writers do this.
    7. J. R. R. Tolkien was unsure about putting his ideas out but C. S. Lewis gave him the confidence. We can take inspiration from either of them.

    Hi David! A big thank you for your work. Just studying all the material you make available for free I was able to significantly improve my writing skills for my RUclips and Substack. I feel indebted to you and wish you the best.

    “Are you Tolkien or Lewis?” is a lovely closing question!
