Are You Doing This Alone?

Hi Reader, Most writers who earn a living don’t work alone. Sure, we like writing in a quiet room, a coffee shop, or a library… And we LOVE writing uninterrupted and FREE from Zoom calls, social media notifications, and meetings. But we also rely on support from others. I’m a classic introvert, but I couldn’t run a writing business alone. Nor should you. I regularly work with writers and creators in different niches when I need help with my business. Being able to ask a peer a question saves so much time compared to scrubbing through a YouTube video on x2 or combing through a subReddit for answers. I want to do the same for you. Earlier this month, I teased a new private community for writers who want more hands-on support. It’s an affordable option for writers who want to collaborate and connect. I was surprised by the response, so I’m launching the Become a Writer Today community later this month. You can connect with other writers in different niches and get feedback on your work. I’ll also provide weekly lessons and behind-the-scenes insights into how I write online and run a writing business. These lessons will help you build your audience and get paid. If you want to join the community, reply to this email. Write on, |

I run my business using a few affordable tools and a virtual assistant’s help. I write emails in plain text files on my computer, so I’m not locked into any one writing app. I use ConvertKit to manage my daily newsletter because it hooks me up with sponsors. I use WordPress to manage my website...
Hi Reader, I run a daily newsletter. I earn four figures a month from it. If I can do it, so can you. Why should you rely on an algo. When you can write and sell directly over email. That's what I do. And my story isn't unique. Crafting a daily email is a good form of writing practice. I can touch on multiple topics, like marketing, creating offers, and writing online. Sending a daily email unlocks more opportunities for connecting with readers. I hear from subscribers every week who want to...
Hi Reader, Screenwriter and director Brian Koppelman wrote his first screenplay, Rounders, while working a day job. He worked on his manuscript for two hours each morning before work. Years later, he told aspiring screenwriters: "Don’t quit your job because the pressure will be so great that the anxiety will be thwarting. Instead, build your routine.” I built a routine like Koppelman’s when I’d a corporate gig as a six-figure copywriting job. I worked on my business for an hour or two before...
