As a teenager, Nicolas had one of the first e-famous gaming blogs on the Internet.

He went on to study creative writing, fiction writing, and literature in college. But when he graduated, he had no idea how he was going to turn this passion of his for writing into a career.

He took a job as an entry-level copywriter at a local advertising agency in downtown Chicago, but that's not what he really wanted to do.

Nicolas wanted to write books. He wanted to share his own thoughts and ideas with the world (not write social media copy for pizza chains and coconut water brands).

So, in an attempt to build himself as a writer in the digital age, he gave himself a goal.

Nicolas challenged himself to write every single day, on a website called Quora, for a year straight.

Best-case scenario, he would experience some sort of life-changing result and my writing would take off.

Worst-case scenario, he’d spend a year doing something he already loved and enjoyed, which was writing.

Well, writing every single day on Quora changed the entire trajectory of his life.

Nicolas ended up accumulating millions of views on my writing. In fact, one of his Quora answers ended up on the front page of Reddit, accumulating over 1,000,000 views in 48 hours.

By 2015, he was the #1 most-read writer on all of Quora (out of 200 million users).

And by 2016, he was invited to have his own column with Inc Magazine.

By the end of 2016, 3 short years after writing every single day on Quora, Nicolas successfully quit his job as a copywriter and began freelance writing for founders, CEOs, and venture capitalists.

By 2017, he had built a multimillion-dollar ghostwriting agency employing a dozen writers and editors, ghostwriting on behalf of hundreds of industry leaders.

And by 2020, he had turned everything he’d learned about writing online into a book, called The Art and Business of Online Writing
