Black Friday steal for writers and creators


Hi Reader,

The Zettelkästen Method for Writers is my flagship note-taking course. It normally retails for $297, but you can buy it today for $97.

Basically, I show you how to create a smart note-taking system you can use for any time of writing project. It only takes 30 minutes a day and your content will practically write itself once it’s up and running.

As it’s Black Friday, I want to sweeten the deal, though. So, I’ve added TWO more bonuses.

First up, you get Freelance Writing Mastery which normally retails for $197.

Inside this course, I reveal the exact systems I used to earn a living as a freelance journalist and contributor to publications like Forbes as well as national newspapers in Ireland. In short, if you want to get paid to write, this course shows you how.

Next, I added: The Digital Writer’s Command Center.

You get instant access to a Notion database to manage all your writing and content on social media. I also provide step-by-step instructions for setting this up and using it for your work. I also reveal how I use this system for my content. I normally sell this for $97, but you can get all 3 for just $97.

The price goes back up for each of these offers after Cyber Monday.

With these 3 courses, you’ll have my system for running a six-figure writing or content business. Learn more

Yesterday, I shared early access to a few partner Black Friday offers for writers and creators. In case you missed it, here are two highlights:

Grammarly is running 50% off on its monthly, quarterly, and annual plans. Use it if you write and publish content for a living or your business. You can claim that discount here.

ProWritingAid is also running a 50% offer. Use it if you want to edit creative works, e.g., fiction. You can claim that here.

Write on,
Bryan Collins

Hi Reader, I was sitting in a pub a few days ago with a copy of The Power Broker by Ron Chernow. A man sitting beside me said, “Can you write a book report on that for tomorrow?” He was joking about the size of the book. It’s over 1200 pages. In between scoffing mince and polishing off a cheeseboard, I’ll spend the next few days making inroads on it. Wish me luck, I could still be reading it next Christmas. Here are the 5 best books I read in 2025 (4 new, one old). Shattered by Hanif Kureishi...

Hi Reader, I wanted to make a nice side income selling online courses back in 2015. So, I subscribed to email lists of the net’s biggest marketers to see how they promoted their wares. Before Netflix and X fame, Ramit Sethi was a big online course guru. I liked reading Ramit’s emails. I could tell he wrote them himself. And even though I’m from Ireland, I enjoyed his contrarian American-style take on personal finance. Ramit launched various online business courses over email every month. His...

Hi Reader, Designing a landing page trips many people up. I was on a call with a marketer who presented a landing page that looked like….a Gingerbread house! She explained to Zoom attendees, “Visitors can click on the windows on my house. We'll send them a PDF if they get the right one.” The team never signed off on her landing page. You see… A good landing page either sells or converts. It’s not a puzzle. And it’s not a work of art. Send traffic to your landing page from social media or paid...
