Be proud of rejection.

Rejection means you actually tried.

Most people don't get that far.

Craftsman Writer. Published author, ghostwriter, novelist, poet, comma maximalist. I teach you powerful rhetorical tricks to improve your writing and get paid online.

The job of a ghostwriter:

Put the client's message in the client's words.

But better than they could.

Amazon screwed my son's birthday order.

That was four months ago...

...and I've ordered one single thing from them since.

Before?

It would have been at least ten or twenty.

Trust takes time to build, but it's easy to destroy.

Writing well makes you:

- richer
- smarter
- more efficient
- more persuasive
- more employable

Invest in your writing.

Great writers are great observers

You can't write well until you learn to see things for how they are.

How I write:

1. Stare out the window for 50 minutes
2. Write like a madman for 10 minutes
3. Repeat

Tens of thousands of ancestors
One sperm out of millions
One short life

And you're just scrolling social media?

The writer's urge to change the world without even leaving your house

The best way to learn writing is

*drumroll*

Write.

Stop looking for shortcuts.

Learn:

- Focus
- Writing
- Persuasion
- Psychology
- Sales

And you will be unstoppable

Noone with the life you want is boasting about it on social media.

Procrastination is the most expensive vice

Writing well is about thinking well.

The words are secondary.

It's better to write for 20 minutes every day than 8 hours every few months.

Next time you feel discouraged remember Stephen King was rejected 30 times before he sold a book

Boring people read tweets

Brilliant people read books

Sylvester Stallone wrote the script for Rocky while he was homeless and couldn't afford to eat.

But you still think you've got "too much else going on" to write?

If you had an unlimited supply of one thing, what would it be?

Independent Affiliate Marketer

Passionate about creating automated solutions to scale businesses while saving time.
👉 LeadsAutopilot.com
👉 LinkedInLaunchpad.com

I began my entrepreneurial journey in 2021, as I built a personal finance brand from scratch, centered around a YouTube channel and newsletter which made over $40,000 in profit in the first 9 months. Pivotal to that channel's success was an automated content distribution system I developed.

In late 2022, I began working with clients to build content distribution systems for them and in 2024 I launched my SaaS product LeadsAutopilot.com which helps LinkedIn creators expand their reach organically.

I'm committed to transforming the marketing landscape through automated solutions and helping people save time.
