When people ask me what good online writing looks like, I point
them to Morgan Housel. Why? He takes dry financial concepts and
breathes life into them with captivating stories. And he’s
been doing it for a decade and a half. Before Morgan wrote “The
Psychology of Money” — one of the world’s most popular finance
books that’s now sold over 4 million copies — he spent years as a
prolific writer. He wrote 2-4 articles a day when he worked at
Motley Fool (3,500 in total). Then, he wrote a bunch more articles
for Collaborative Fund and The Wall Street Journal. Morgan
didn’t “explode onto the scene” as a newbie. He put in years of
early mornings and behind-the-scenes work. The result? His voice is
clear, concise, and narrative. His ideas excavate the relationship
between money and human psychology. His creative process is
uniquely lazy — a bold contradiction to the productivity advice of
today. Morgan is a master of two things: storytelling and
brevity. And the aliveness of his writing has made him one of the
most successful writers on the Internet. In this episode,
you’ll learn how Morgan captivates millions of readers with his
writing. We cover topics like selfish writing; ruthless
self-editing; writing with brevity; and making dry ideas come alive
on the page. Website: https://collabfund.com/blog/ Twitter:
