ABOUT

NICOLAS COLE

I have been writing online since I was 17 years old.
In 2007, I was one of the highest ranked World of Warcraft players in North America with one of the first e-famous gaming blogs on the Internet. By the time I graduated high school, I had over 10,000 daily readers and had positioned myself as a powerful voice in the world of competitive gaming.
In 2008, I attended one of the top journalism schools in the country, the University of Missouri, for my freshman year of college. There, my professor addressed our lecture hall of 500 students with a powerful statement: "The world of blogging is a trend and will never be a credible source of writing." As an already established blogger, I disagreed, and transferred schools the next year.
2012. I graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a degree in Fiction writing. My first internship was at a digital marketing agency downtown Chicago, and here I was introduced to the idea of writing and building an audience on social media.
In 2013. I was knee-deep in the world of bodybuilding. I had been lifting for years, and decided to start micro-blogging on Instagram sharing daily workouts and nutritional advice. In less than a year, I built an audience of 15,000 followers, and became a blogger and influencer for a variety of publications and fitness brands.
