May 13, 2020 By Drew Shepherd 2 Comments

how to blog when you work full time thumbnail

“How do you blog when you work full-time?!” That’s an excellent question. And it’s one I used to ask myself. I was a horribly inconsistent blogger. Granted, I’m still not the most productive example, but now I post much more often. And today, I’ll show you how to do the same. As someone who works in a STEM field, I know … [Read more...]

Use This Technique to Write Incredible Long Form Content

April 30, 2020 By Drew Shepherd Leave a Comment

write long form content thumbnail

Long form content is all the rage these days. Forget the witty and insightful short posts of yesteryear. Readers today demand meaty articles that put encyclopedias to shame. Good ol’ Google also loves this lengthy style. So if you want more traffic, long form content is the obvious choice. But how do you actually make … [Read more...]

Looking for Motivation? Then You Need to Do This

April 20, 2020 By Drew Shepherd Leave a Comment

Looking for Motivation?

I don’t like calling myself a writer. No, it’s not because I’m bad at the craft or that I lack confidence; it’s because that word doesn’t fully define me. Yes, I’m a person who writes, but as I’ve said before, I don’t really enjoy it. The act itself is a grueling test of the mind and will, an exhausting exercise that … [Read more...]

All It Ever Takes Is One

all it ever takes is one thumbnail

The internet is a discouraging place. No matter how well you write, how entertaining your podcast is, or how addicting your videos are, your work is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. The next day, or rather, the next hour or minute, something else will glut the void that you can no longer fill. No, it’s nothing … [Read more...]

6 Excellent Writing Tips for Beginners (They’re so Simple, You’ll Think Writing is Easy)

February 8, 2020 By Drew Shepherd Leave a Comment

writing tips thumbnail

Writing is hard. That’s right, I said it: Writing is hard. I’m sure all the other Google results told you otherwise, but guess what? They lied. If writing was easy, everyone would pen Shakespearean works of art. In fact, Shakespeare himself wouldn't be Shakespeare; he’d just be William. Calling a craft easy to … [Read more...]

202 bits of wisdom thumbnail

Happy New Year! I know I’m a little late on that, but hey, better late than never. Anyway, 2020 is the start of a new decade, and I thought I’d use this opportunity to round up some lessons I learned in the last one. I couldn’t quite make it to 2,020 though, so I knocked off the last zero for a total of 202 instead. All … [Read more...]

A Light in the Dark: Why You Need a Heart for the Underground to Do Great Things (Going Great #6)

December 22, 2019 By Drew Shepherd 3 Comments

embrace underground thumb

“How come you always get more views than me?”  I was playing Call of Duty when that question came over Xbox Live. This was back in the good ol’ summer days: I had no work and no school, so my friends and I spent all day grinding CoD and making vids for YouTube. But anyway, I hesitated to answer that question. It came … [Read more...]

common threats to greatness thumb

Greatness doesn’t come easy. It wouldn’t be very great if it did. When you choose this path, you accept challenges, pain, and adversity—all of which come with the territory. You can’t run from this hardship and hiding isn’t an option either, so there’s only one thing you can do: Persevere. And today, I’ll show you … [Read more...]

The Ego-less Servant: How to Provide Irresistible Value with None of the Headache (Going Great #4)

December 4, 2019 By Drew Shepherd Leave a Comment

ego-less servant thumb

I hate pride. There aren’t many things that bother me in life, but when people delude themselves into thinking they’re better than another human, it takes all the power within me to not snap. I’m not sure why this upsets me as much as it does. Maybe it’s because I’ve stood on the opposite side too many times. Maybe it’s … [Read more...]

Sexual discipline. I covered the topic briefly in my last post, but it’s so important that I need to address its biggest threat: Pornography is a temptation many men (and women) know all too well.
