Hello, I am Dick David 👋

I am Dick David. I started writing online in 2018, during a personal development phase that left me consuming far more ideas than I knew what to do with. Like an overflowing cup, I felt the need to pour some of it out, so I started a blog—Pawns.com.ng.

At first, almost no one read it. For an entire year, the site attracted fewer than 150 visitors—mostly friends and family. I was writing opinions as they came to me, without much structure, clarity, or intention. It felt honest, but it didn’t work.

I kept going.

Over time, something shifted. People I’d never met started commenting on posts, thanking me. Some messaged directly, wanting to connect. I realized that ideas—the ones we hold in our heads or care deeply about—can actually impact lives when they’re put out there properly. That realization changed everything.

I started learning how to write for search engines and LLMs. I learned to structure content so it answered what people were actually searching for. I learned to communicate at the level of my audience, not my own knowledge or awareness. I learned to bring clarity and accessibility to ideas people might otherwise struggle with.

Writing stopped feeling like self-expression and started feeling like idea work—shaping, buttressing, and stress-testing ideas so they land.

Today, I work with experts, coaches, and thought leaders who have helpful insights but need help turning those insights into blog posts and newsletters that show up on search engines like Google and get mentioned on LLMs like ChatGPT. I don’t just polish sentences. I ask questions, surface gaps, and apply structure—because clarity is rarely a grammar problem.

Over the years, I’ve published hundreds of SEO articles—many ranking on Google’s first page, some as featured snippets, bringing in tens of thousands of visitors per month. I’ve ghostwritten multiple books and hundreds of blog posts across various niches. I’ve proofread and edited books and countless blog posts. I know how to handle your project.

If you’re looking for someone who treats writing as serious thinking work—and who will help your ideas reach the people they’re meant to reach, let’s talk.
