The age of the starving artist is over. Learn the skills, strategies, tactics, and tools to become a professional writer and earn good money, including:

  • How to find your voice

  • How to get published in major publications

  • How to interview smart people

  • How to write an outstanding blog post

  • How viral articles go viral

  • How to write captivating headlines

  • How to write an effective case study

  • How to create a white paper

  • How to easily self-publish your own book

  • How to get into your creative flow

  • How to charge high rates for your work

The takeaways go on.

But first, here's my story. 

I hated writing in school. Abhorred it.

I wasn't any good at it. Not at all.

That was over six years ago.

Today, 

  • I have over 15k followers on Medium and I'm a top writer in Entrepreneurship, Ideas, Startups, and Creativity. 

  • I'm a columnist for Inc. Magazine where I interview people like Shark Tank's billionaire Daymond John, NPR's host of How I Built This Guy Raz, and top CEOs of huge national companies like Jersey Mike's Subs and Orange Theory.

  • I started a top publication on Medium and have grown it to over 87,000 followers, gaining 125 new followers a day. I wrote the 7th most popular story on Medium in 2015. Michael Hyatt, Chairman and former CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers commented personally on my article.

  • My writing has been published in Chase News, Thought Catalog, CNBC, Business Insider, Quartz, Axios, Smashing Magazine, The Next Web, Forbes, and more.

  • I wrote a 386-page novel (the size of The Hobbit) and self-published it on Amazon.

In this course, I want to share with you everything I've learned so that you can become a well-paid, reputable writer with the ability to attract thousands of followers.

My videos are vulnerable and transparent. As we spend time together, I'll open up about my journey from the very beginning.

Here's the truth: Anyone can write online and start a blog, but not everyone can make money as a writer. A lot of courses will teach you how to blog but they leave out the crucial entrepreneurial aspects of becoming a successful writer. I want to share with you how I generate revenue with rates at $1/word, $500/article, and $100/hour.

I want to give you my formulas for viral articles, tools for saving time, tips for getting wide exposure, and strategies for building a passionate following online. But you'll need to be open to unlearning (almost) everything you've learned about writing in school. 

Instead, you'll learn practical skills including how to pitch your work to major publications, how to create science-backed case studies that clients pay for, how to write an ebook, how to easily self-publish a physical book.

We'll also dispel myths about how to find your writing voice and how to get into your creative flow so you can produce your best work. You'll learn my formulas for how to write outstanding blog posts, how to craft captivating headlines, and how to "launch" your work.

Finally, the deepest outcomes you'll come away with after you've completed this course are:

  1. A strong confidence in yourself as a professional writer. It took me years to feel confident as a writer. And while there are no shortcuts to true success, this course will give you a framework to develop your personal confidence in your writing ability -- the kind of confidence that empowers you to persist through seasons of self-doubt, sharp criticism, and financial troughs.

  2. A rare and lucrative writing expertise. Not everyone can stand out from the crowd, but you'll learn how experts elevate their personal brands, attract swathes of readers, and build a generous income.

Who this course is for:

  • Beginning and ambitious bloggers who want to take their writing to the next level

  • Writers who aren't making money online but want to

  • Small business owners whose blog isn't getting any traffic

  • Marketers who want their brands to get serious PR exposure

  • Writers who want to specialize in marketable content creation skills and work from anywhere

Who this course is for:

  • Bloggers who want to grow their following
  • Startup team members who want greater exposure for their brand
  • Speakers who want to write effectively for a wide audience
  • Digital nomads who wish to create secondary income
  • Content creators interested in monetizing their work
  • Communicators looking to publish their work and earn revenue
  • Developers interested in writing about their products
  • People interested in becoming better writers
  • Students who want to learn professional writing skills
