Building a portfolio of writing businesses to $10M, and sharing my frameworks along the way.

My name is Nicolas Cole, and I am one of the most-read writers on the Internet.

Over the past decade, I have written over 5,000 articles online, and ghostwritten for 300+ Founders, C-level executives, NYT best-selling authors, Grammy-winning musicians, and more. I have also broken records on various digital writing platforms, like becoming the fastest-growing user on Quora in 2014, and becoming the most-read writer on the entire platform (out of 200 million users) in 2015. I have amassed hundreds of millions of views on my writing, and the topics I cover include hard life advice, category design, and digital writing principles.

I have also written over a dozen books, including the best-selling The Art & Business of Online Writing.

I am passionate about paying it forward and sharing what I have learned writing online for more than decade with other writers, creators, and industry leaders.

Here's a quick breakdown of my portfolio of companies, and how to get in touch.

Freelance writers charge per word or per hour. As a result, they're underpaid and burned out. Premium Ghostwriters charge per project, work directly with founders, CEOs, and business owners, and are more like "business consultants who happen to know how to write." As a result, they can charge a premium. In PGA, our Premium Ghostwriting Academy, we train writers on how to become Premium Ghostwriters, and learn how to package & price their services in lucrative ways.

Nicolas Cole 🚢👻

Last week, I spent 7+ hours building a set of Claude Skills to help you write viral LinkedIn posts faster.

The result?

A Claude Cowork plugin anyone can install to write publish-ready LinkedIn posts in minutes.

It's called the PGA LinkedIn Writing Coach.

And I'm giving it away for free.

Most LinkedIn creators and ghostwriters waste hours:

• Staring at a blank page
• Rewriting hooks 17 times
• Trying to come up with the "perfect" topic

Not because they're bad writers.

But because they don't have the right system.

This fixes that.

This Claude Cowork plugin is built with proven frameworks that have generated millions of views on my content.

Here's what you get inside:

• A Hook Generator that writes 11 hooks in 11 proven formats (so you have the best chances of going viral)

• A Post Writer that generates 15 post ideas and writes the strongest one for you

• A Voice Remixer that rewrites any text in 5 distinct Voice Archetypes (perfect for matching your client's voice)

• A full end-to-end workflow to take you from raw topic to published post in one guided session

Now, I originally built this to share with my team.

But I wanted to get it into the hands of more writers.

So for the next 48 hours, I'm sharing it for free.

📌 My self-published books have generated over $1,000,000.

But ghostwriting is how I got paid to write (while I worked on my first book).

So I created a free, 5-day email course to help you:

• Reposition yourself as a ghostwriter
• Charge premium prices for your services
• Land high-paying writing clients on LinkedIn

19 Tips To Upgrade Your Writing (In 5 Minutes)

Over the last 5 years, my little business has generated $20,000,000.

The secret?

Email.

For all our digital product launches, we use a specific 20-email sequence.

And now I want to share it with you.

Why?

For 2 reasons:

1. So you can sell your own digital products with email

2. And (more importantly) so you can ghostwrite these launch emails for your clients (and get paid $$$ to do it!) 

Because high-ticket clients don't hire you to "write emails."

They hire you to sell their product.

And if you can show up with a proven launch sequence... you become irreplaceable.

That's exactly what this free playbook gives you.

Inside the Product Launch Playbook, you'll get:

• A 20-email launch sequence (pre-launch + launch, fully mapped out)
• Real examples + fill-in-the-blank templates for every single email
• A deep dive explaining exactly why each email works
• [BONUS] 3 AI prompts to write or ghostwrite the entire sequence 10x faster
• [BONUS] Sequence automations for Kit

Now, I originally built this for our internal team and writers inside our Premium Ghostwriting Academy.

But I'm giving it away free for the next 48 hours.

Most LinkedIn creators use AI to write their content.

How do I know?

Because I see the same "AI Fingerprints" ruining what they're trying to say.

Here are the 10 biggest AI Red Flags to look out for:

1. Contrast Framing Overload
2. The Rule Of Three
3. Cringe Transition Questions
4. Present-ing Verbs
5. Vague Glazing Opinions
6. Formality First Language
7. Emoji Explosion
8. Extra Em Dashes
9. Everything Is "Symbolic"
10. The Mysterious "Sarah Chen"

10 AI Fingerprints That Make You Sound Like A Robot

I'm a 90s kid.

It's hard to overstate how much better life was with:

Pokémon on Gameboy Color + Dominos Pizza.

And most importantly?

NO cell phones or algorithms vying for your attention.

All this technology.

All these advancements.

And I think many of us miss the analog & lightly digital days more than we value the digital-first, AI-in-your-bloodstream reality we now live in.

Wild generation to have been born into.

Millennials are the last generation to know life with technology before it took over. 

But I'll never be that age again.

You blink, and it's over.

So yes, plow resources into mastering the newest technology and AI tools.

But you don't need them to make $20,000/month.

I didn't, and only spent ~20 hours per week working.

Plenty of money for "fun" and the time to enjoy it.

Which is why I recommend becoming a LinkedIn ghostwriter.

This platform has over 1 billion users who:

• Never post
• Know they should be
• Need help building their personal brand

Want a blueprint to help you start ghostwriting & land high-paying clients?

Ghostwriting is how I went from being a broke freelancer to making $20k/month (in less than 60 days).

But it isn't all about the money.

Here are 7 reasons why I believe every writer should be a ghostwriter:

1. You Get Paid To Learn

2. You Get Paid To Practice

3. You Get Paid To Build Your Network

4. You Get Paid To Know About Trends Early

5. You Get Paid To Experience Different Lives

6. You Get Paid To Learn How To Write In Different Voices

7. You Get Paid To Write About Subjects You're Passionate About

Now, if you're interested in becoming a ghostwriter...

I recommend starting a ghostwriting side hustle.

Just 1 high-paying client can pay you anywhere from $1,500 to $5,000+ per month. 

That way, you can give this a try without worrying about “building a business” or replacing your 9-5 (while only writing a handful of hours per week).

If you want to scale your income from there, great.

You only need:

• 3 high-paying clients
• Paying you $2,700/month
• To make $100,000+ per year

And I have a FREE, 5-step blueprint that’s already helped over 10,000 writers start ghostwriting.

It has everything you need to start landing high-paying writing clients.

Click "Visit my website" at the top of this post to grab a FREE copy of my Premium Ghostwriting Blueprint.

Most people will never make money writing online.

But one skill makes it embarrassingly simple:

Copywriting.

It's how I've generated over $20,000,000 as a writer.

But the secret to writing great copy?

It has nothing to do with sales.

It's all about education.

Because when you successfully educate the customer, they sell themselves.

Here are 7 sales copy sentences my digital business uses to generate millions every single year (steal them for yourself):

1. "This small action will lead to a giant outcome."
2. "This massive problem can be fixed with this simple solution."
3. "The outcome you want isn't far away."
4. "It's not your fault."
5. "You've already done the hardest part."
6. "I couldn't do this either."
7. "I'm going to let you in on a little secret..."

Here's how to use them:

—
📌 The fastest way to make money on LinkedIn?

It's not copywriting.

7 Exercises To Become A Top 1% Copywriter

At 26, I quit my minimum-wage copywriting job.

18 months later?

I was generating $180k/month as a ghostwriter.

Writing for industry leaders like:

• Olympic athletes
• Silicon Valley founders
• New York Times best-selling authors

And more.

But if I was starting over in 2026, I'd become a LinkedIn Ghostwriter.

Why?

Because this platform has 1.15 billion users. And less than 1% are posting content consistently.

(Despite knowing they should be!)

Which means there is an *enormous* amount of opportunity for LinkedIn Ghostwriters right now.

Use these 5 steps to land your first LinkedIn ghostwriting client:

1. Say exactly what you do in your bio
2. Be your own case study
3. Make a list of "Leaks" & "Faucets"
4. Pitch In Public
5. Follow up (till they call the cops!)

Get the exacts steps in the infographic below:

Terrible advice for writers:

(I wish I'd never done this)

Write "anything" for "anyone."

This is the FASTEST way to become an overworked and underpaid content writer.

Instead, to dramatically increase your income:

Niche Down.

This is how I went from charging $200 per article to ghostwriting thought-leadership articles for founders and executives for $2,000.

So, in this video, I explain:

• The 3 core benefits of specialization
• How to niche down (Service vs. Industry)
• Why niching down doesn’t limit opportunity
• Services I recommend writers should specialize in
• How to find your Information Advantage & niche down

And tons more!

Last November, my little writing business crossed $20,000,000 in lifetime sales.

It took us over 5 years to reach this milestone.

But we could have gotten here a whole lot faster with everything we know now.

Here are 12 of the biggest lessons I wish I knew when we first started our 8-figure digital product business:

1. Operational complexity is the moat

2. Subjectivity doesn't scale

3. Customers want outcomes, not more content

4. Wanting something new is avoiding improving what works

5. Entrepreneurs live in max risk—so de-risk personal finances

6. Only pay commissions while reps are on the team

7. Paid ads is a way to pay down "ignorance debt"

8. What gets measured grows. What's "maintained" dies

9. Every new channel means a 1-year learning curve

10. "Fast and easy" = slow, hard, expensive

11. When high-performers hit a ceiling, create roles or incubate entrepreneurs

12. After ~$3M/year, video is one of your best investments

12 Lessons From $20,000,000 in Writing Course Sales

I paid Alex Hormozi's team $35,000 to help me scale to $1,000,000. 

And I just got back from their workshop in Vegas.

For the better part of 2 years now, we've been stuck trying to hit this goal.

But I emerged with extreme clarity on what to tackle this year.

Here are the 5 "Big Rocks" they said I should work on right now:

1. Clean up your org structure before it cleans you out

Our team nearly tripled in size this past year.

And it wasn't until the Hormozi team walked me through what a healthy org at our revenue level actually looks like that I realized how blurry our lines of ownership had gotten.

• Who's responsible for what?
• Who owns which outcomes?

When everyone's responsible, no one's responsible.

2. Crystal-clear clarity at every level of the business.

Move your biggest cash to the front end of the sale.

Right now, what we've been doing is:

• Sell a 16-week program
• Then, upsell continued coaching on the back end

But the Hormozi team recommended we flip it.

Instead, lead with the full year upfront.

And THEN downsell the 16 weeks if needed.

More cash upfront = more ad spend = more students, faster.

3. Build a media team that can actually scale your content

I'm making a significant investment in YouTube and media in 2026.

And I had a lot of unanswered questions about what that actually looks like:

• How many editors do you need?
• Do you separate short-form and long-form?
• Does one person own each platform?
• Does one person own each channel?

The Hormozi team helped me find the clarity I was looking for.

Basically, we have about 70% of the team we need.

And the move is to break out individual platforms and give each one a dedicated owner.

4. Follow up with leads in 15 minutes or less, every time

The Hormozi team made it very clear how much revenue we're leaving on the table every time we don't.

The big rock for my co-founder @dickiebush will be building the outbound infrastructure to make near-instant follow-up the default.

5. Stop asking "what's next?"

Instead, start asking:

"What's working and why aren't we doing more of it?"

This one hit hardest.

At the end of 2025, we ran our first paid 3-day challenge and it turned into our biggest revenue month of the year.

So when the Hormozi team asked us:

"If one challenge did that, why are you only doing one a year?"

The answer was obvious.

Do more live webinars and challenges.

But all of this just makes one thing even clearer for me:

Our business is NOT the right type of business for 99% of people to go build.

If you're just getting started, the operational complexity is too high.

Instead, I'd recommend building a 1-person ghostwriting agency.

It's how I went from $0 to $20,000/month in less than 60 days.

There are 2 ways to build a 6-figure digital business in 2026:

1. Digital Products
2. High-Ticket Service

So, which "path" should you choose?

Most people go the digital products route:

• Building a massive LinkedIn audience
• Understanding the problems of their followers
• Then creating a course to sell & solve these problems

And yes, this can get you to $100,000/year.

But this takes TIME.

No one wakes up one morning with:

• 30,000+ followers
• A finished digital product
• Or all the fulfillment systems humming

But there's a *faster* way to build a 6-figure digital business...

Sell a high-ticket service.

Specifically, become a Premium Ghostwriter.

Here are 5 reasons why everyone should try Premium Ghostwriting:

—
📌 If you take away nothing else from this post, remember this:

Don’t start building digital products if your goal is to quit your day job in 2026.

It takes 12+ months (at least) to get any traction.

Instead, become a Premium Ghostwriter.

It’s the fastest way for writers to make $10,000/month.

So I created a free, 5-step blueprint to help you:

• Reposition yourself as a ghostwriter
• Charge a premium for your work

Why Everyone Should Sell A Digital Service First

I can't believe how many people don't realize this:

Making money writing online is simple.

For context:

I have generated over $1M as a writer.

Not just once.

Not just twice.

But across 8 different writing business models:

1. SaaS
2. Services
3. Consulting
4. Self-Publishing
5. Paid newsletter
6. Group/High-Ticket
7. Low-Ticket products
8. Cohort-based courses

Here's the simplest path anyone can take to go from $0 to a 6-figure writer:

📌 The fastest way to hit $100,000/year as a writer?

Ghostwriting.

It's how I went from making $0 as a freelance writer to $10k/month in 60 days.

But if I was starting over in 2026, I'd become a LinkedIn Ghostwriter.

Why?

Because this platform has 1.15 billion users. And less than 1% are posting content consistently.

Become A 6-Figure Writer In 5 Simple Steps

Over the last 10 days, Claude has been down 6 times:

• Feb 25 → 3 Hours 14 Minutes
• Feb 26 → 6 Hours 35 Minutes
• Feb 27 → 4 Hours 27 Minutes
• Feb 28 → 2 Hours 52 Minutes
• Mar 2 → 2 Hours 45 Minutes
• Mar 3 → 0 Hours 48 Minutes

20+ (!!!) hours in total.

This is another reminder:

You can't 100% rely on AI.

Instead, make sure you master the skills you need to do your work manually.

Using AI is then an added bonus and a way to increase your leverage.

This is why the top 1% ghostwriters don't need AI to deliver for their clients (although it makes them way more efficient).

Just like how they don't even need to write well to get paid 6-figures.

They've simply mastered these highly in-demand skills:

• Premium positioning
• Irresistible offer creation
• Consistent client acquisition

And more.

Which is how they're making $100,000+ per year with just a laptop.

The good news?

Right now, LinkedIn is the fastest-growing social media.

And many of the smartest people in the world have just realized they need to be on this platform.

So, I put together a 5-day blueprint to teach you how to:

• Charge premium prices
• Create your irresistible offer
• Find your lucrative ghostwriting niche
• Land new, high-paying clients every month

In other words...

Everything you need to start LinkedIn Ghostwriting in the next 5 days.

The difference between you and a writer making:

• $10,000
• $20,000
• Or even $50,000...

Per month has NOTHING to do with writing talent.

They've just built other skills that allow them to:

• Earn a full-time income
• Work a part-time schedule
• Write for fascinating clients

All without needing to:

• Go back to school
• Get a fancy college degree
• Or have years of experience

And on Tuesday:

I will reveal my ENTIRE system that I've been using for over a decade to land high-paying writing clients during my 3-Day LIVE Challenge.

In 2012, my parents told me I should study journalism.

I didn't.

Instead, I majored in fiction writing in college because it was more interesting to me.

Everyone said I was lighting money on fire.

But since then?

Journalism has basically died.

And fiction & creative writing have made me a millionaire.

So, when I have kids of my own, I'm going to tell them:

"Study whatever is most interesting to you."

Every single industry is going to get affected by new technology/AI... so the game isn't "picking the perfect/most lucrative industry."

The game is picking an industry you:

• Won't give up on
• Love enough to sink your teeth into
• And will stick to for the next 5+ years

Despite all the headwinds and uncertainty.

So, you can ride the AI wave while your industry evolves.

Or you can get PAID to learn the most highly in-demand skill right now (job listings asking for any AI-related skill are up 650%).

How?

By becoming a LinkedIn Ghostwriter.

Ghostwriting is how I hit $20,000/month (in less than 60 days).

And it's the perfect way to learn the AI skills you need to future-proof your career.

So I put together a free blueprint to help you become a LinkedIn Ghostwriter in just 5 days.

• Suck at sales
• Don't have an audience

This writer landed a LinkedIn Ghostwriting client paying him $3,000/month.

But the problem?

It almost didn't happen.

Mark had one MASSIVE faulty belief:

Getting paid this much is "absurd."

And you know what?

He's absolutely right.

When I was just a freelance writer, I thought it was wild to make more than $200-$300 per article.

But then I repositioned myself as a Premium Ghostwriter.

And *suddenly,* clients had no problem paying me $1,000+.

For the EXACT same work.

This completely broke my brain.

Which is why I love seeing wins like these every day inside our Premium Ghostwriting Academy.

And they all start from changing your Positioning.

So, I put together the Writer Positioning Playbook mini-course with 30+ minutes of training from me to help you:

• Nail your positioning as a ghostwriter
• Attract more ghostwriting opportunities in your niche
• Use AI to find 5 specific target clients that need your help

This is everything you need to start making more money as a writer.

My business generates $600,000 per month.

But it runs on just $8,215.

These are my top 7 no-code tools in my tech stack:

1. Kit ($1,179/mo)

This handles all our email marketing.

2. Stripe (2.9% + $.30 per transaction)

Tons of transactions processed with 0 issues.

3. Carrd ($19/yr)

We scaled Ship 30 to $1M with this simple landing page software.

4. Airtable ($1,134/mo)

Every product, lead, and customer lives here.

5. Zapier (~$749/mo)

This automates 200k+ tasks/month & replaces at least 5+ full-time assistants.

6. ChatGPT ($20/mo)

We use ChatGPT to research, brainstorm, and outline.

7. Substack (Free or 10% of paid subs)

A simple platform, perfect for beginners & where we host our paid newsletter, Write With AI (currently doing $427,000 in ARR).

📌 But if I had to build a new writing business from scratch, I'd only use 3 tools:

• Kit for email
• Stripe for payments
• Carrd for landing pages

This is all you need to make your first $1.

And you can easily scale to $100,000/year by ghostwriting for high-paying clients.

(It's how I went from $0 to $20k/month in less than 60 days.)
