How To Build A Digital Asset As A Writer.

Secure Your Future.

In the online business world, collecting emails is one of the most important things you can do for your business/brand.

Your collected emails are an asset.

They’re a valuable asset because you now have constant and direct access to a group of people who have already expressed interest in the type of services or products you offer.

This means you can always sell your products or services to them in the future.

It’s one of the major reasons why you'd want to start collecting emails now as a writer/blogger/content creator.

This is one of the major reasons why it’s recommended you have your own website outside of Medium.

Oh, and also because you have no control over these third-party blogging platforms. They could disappear overnight. Or an algorithm change could screw you over.

The point is, if you don’t own it, you don’t control it!

Invest in something you own, invest in your own website.

Your own website is a digital asset because it can earn you money through ads, and other affiliate opportunities once you have a good amount of people visiting your website.

You can also sell your website in the future. It’s a lucrative business. Just ask Jenn Leach, a writer on Medium who has made $100,000 flipping websites.

Owning a website is not just owning digital real estate, but can also be turned into a digital asset once you fill it with high quality and valuable information which meets the needs of your consumers.

Keyword research and SEO optimization are instrumental to creating websites that are discoverable via google searches and have higher rankings. Making them even more valuable on the website flipping market.

The truth is, writing on Medium is fun. There’s a large community of writers and readers already here. However, what happens to your work if the platform suddenly disappears?

All the cumulative efforts and work from years of publishing articles onto the platform could all disappear overnight. **Poof**

Have you thought about that?

What happens then?

My suggestion: If you’re serious about making money online especially in the long term, I highly recommend you start investing in and building your own digital asset, as soon as you can afford to.

Goodluck.
