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, |

Writing Editor focuses on fixing grammar and improving content structure. I put both through their paces using content from my daily newsletter. When I fed...
Your existing content is like an untapped gold mine - most creators keep digging new holes instead of mining what they already have. I’ve spent years writing online, It can easily become a full-time, low-paying job if you keep digging. One method for getting around this problem is building a content library of your greatest hits. It’s easier to repurpose content if you have a library that you can draw from. Another method is tracking a few key weekly stats across each channel so you can see...
I spent years obsessing over niche selection. When I was a Forbes columnist, branding myself as “the productivity and leadership guy” seemed like a safe bet. I covered topics like time management, leadership, and getting sh*t done at work.I mapped dozens of hot niche-specific topics in a spreadsheet and published articles like: The Fastest Way To Accomplish More This Week How To Use The 4 Ds Of Time Management 4 Common Mistakes New Home Workers Make I wrote about these topics not because they...
