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,
Bryan Collins

This is where you tell the AI tool who it is. “You’re a master storyteller” or “You’re Steve Jobs.” This puts GPT in the right mindset. Next comes the Task. Be specific about what...
