I Made $800,000 In One Year Writing 2 Hours A Day

the average writer makes sixty nine thousand five hundred and ten dollars a year last year I made eight hundred thousand dollars writing for two hours a day and just a few days a week and of course I did work more than this but I'm talking about writing right like the base of my business everything I do revolves around writing and I do that for around two hours every single day so here are nine steps to becoming a profitable writer even if you have zero dollars in your bank account first why writing because the future belongs to those that Master the internet they Master Media or code and with an abundance of no code website Builders and just other like organizational tools like notion and other things and even just social media in general allows you to not have to learn how to code right leave that to the passionate coders out in the world if you are a passionate coder you're doing great things thank you artificial intelligence is also coming into place so it's it's best for most people to mask Master media right which is the front end of the internet where people see what catches attention what leads into products or Services that's what drives sales that's what puts money in your pockets is media and the foundation of media is writing right because writing then gets turned into a video script or like a real script or something that you see online right writing out any form of script or video first comes first right it makes the video better so writing is foundational because you think about it that's all you see right you see writing transformed into other things you see tweets that's writing you see Instagram posts that's writing you see reels it's a written script you see a newsletter that's writing you see a YouTube video it's also a written script so I'll shut up about writing it's important it's very important the best skill you can learn here's the nine steps first is to choose a topic that you can't shut up about write down your favorite books your YouTube watch History your favorite social media accounts and what you would write about if money wasn't an issue good writing is about energy transfer not being professional we earned English degrees here right everyone can write everyone can write with impact you don't need to be super grammatically correct the second step is to brainstorm a unique perspective novelty catches attention and attention is necessary for people to read what you write right A lot of people always talk about like oh catching attention is dirty uh you're just contributing you're doing the same thing as all the other people uh with the cheap dopamine and catching attention you have to catch attention right that's what you're doing at any given second of the day when you put on cologne to go out you're wanting to attract a person when you slick your hair in the morning you're not doing it for yourself if you're only if you're the only person on this Earth You wouldn't be going through all these grooming habits you're trying to catch attention on a daily day-to-day basis you might as well make that conscious and do something good with it and so novel perspectives are how you differentiate yourself through experience with the things that you write about right so when it comes to novelty catching attention I love this quote right I say this all the time where people need to be reminded more than they need eat something new but I've changed that now I see it as people need to be reminded with something new right they need to be reminded of the fundamentals the base lessons that are going to actually bring progress to their life but from A New Perspective and the best way to do that is through your personal experience right so tell a story about the things that you're learning and then you can never run out of angles to say things talk about your own story your own perspective your own thoughts other people's stories stories that you curate and find online things like that so step number three is to write 1000 words on the topic every piece of content is based around a personal or professional problem so how do you structure it you paint a picture of the problem this is to start off writing your 1000 words you talk about your personal experience and you give step-by-step advice on how to solve the problem actionable advice is how you build an audience at the start to prove your worth and value and so step number four is to sign up for a blog or newsletter software I rarely use fancy sales funnels anymore and that's when my income off right direct response marketing is important it's good to learn it's good to understand the fundamentals it's it's good to understand how you facilitate the transfer of money and persuade people to see the value in your services but at the same time it gets a bit too crazy and so when I strip down everything made it super simple my Revenue shot up to 800k last year and potentially projecting 2.5 million this year so instead I use a Content ecosystem so I write one newsletter a week that's why we're writing 1000 words right now you upload the newsletter as a Blog and then you write one thread condensed from the newsletter and you write three tweets a day from ideas in the newsletter and then those get turned into YouTube video scripts LinkedIn posts Instagram carousels reels tick tocks and a podcast okay right so we're picking we have a topic that we can't shut up about we write 1000 words just to practice just to get it out of the way we use a basic structure problem personal experience actionable steps to overcome the problem that's how you write the 1000 words you post that to a newsletter you upload it to a Blog you turn that into a thread or a medium form like Instagram Carousel you turn those into three tweets a day you cross post a tweet sensegram LinkedIn everywhere and then under those things you link your blog post now why is that important because in the newsletter or in the blog post that's the best place to promote your products or Services right it's the most trustworthy and authoritative place to promote them rather than writing like a one-liner tweet oh go live your best life and then under it it's like oh buy my course on how to live your best life like you're not gonna make too many sales doing that you might as well write a longer piece a newsletter upload it to a Blog have a good call to action to your product or service link the blog under your tweets related tweets on a weekly basis and then that's how you make more sales that's how my Revenue shot up so step number five is to repurpose the actionable part of the newsletter because actionable and in-depth advice is the most potent and beginner friendly way to start growing on social media that's how you build Authority at the start don't try to be too clever when nobody knows who you are your favorite YouTubers didn't start as lifestyle vloggers they gave actionable advice in an eternal Market health wealth relationships you go and look at anyone's YouTube channel they usually started by establishing Authority in one domain or a few domains like self-improvement because that involves like lifting weights getting dates more place more dates and other things like that right you get the point so step number six is to learn how to network and grow on the platform itself so I previously made a video it's called the non-needy networking process again one of those videos that doesn't get enough views because it's I don't know why it's one of the most like actionable and beneficial things you can do it will get you the most progress because you're not going to win a game the social media game if you don't understand the rules and mechanics right you can I see this way too often especially in modern Mastery where people come in they say like hey I've been writing content and I'm not getting any followers it's like that's not how it works if everyone if you just wrote content and got followers then everyone would be a content creator you have to understand the game of social media you have to understand how to get eyes on your content and that is done manually at the start you do not rely on the algorithm you network with people and get them to share your content so in general you need both good content and eyes on that content you need readers sharing your writing because hopefully it's good writing you need to network with similar follower accounts and grow together need to comment on larger accounts so people can see your comment and click to your profile and you make your newsletter so good that people can't help but talk about it and you join a community and meet people people doing the same thing as you like modern Mastery and of course you still need good content and a compelling brand to make this work right it's not one or the other it's not oh I only write good content and just hope I grow on social media not gonna work or I'm just gonna Network all day and get people to share my content and hope that I grow on social media but the content is and I'm not putting effort in there not gonna work if there's a hole or a problem in your brand fix it step number seven is to turn ideas into impactful tweets from your newsletters so the 1000 words you wrote earlier that you're going to do on a weekly basis maybe something like that you have a plethora of ideas that you can pull from that you can read one sentence and be like okay how do I turn this into a tweet if you want to learn how to write better tweets watch my how to generate infinite ideas or unlimited content ideas video and my best advice with this is to just create lists create like two to three lists and what I mean by lists is like if you wrote about bodybuilding then right five reasons to become a bodybuilder something like that list off the five reasons and then you turn each of those five reasons into their own tweet or list and then you just keep going and then that's how you create start to create like infinite content ideas but you're only going to be doing it once a week because you're going to be rotating topics based on your newsletter now step number eight is to develop a writing system so take out a notebook study writing and social media Frameworks so like Pas which is problem amplify solution Ada attention interest desire action Pastor problem amplify story testimony offer resolution and then social media Frameworks like how to grow and so like the one we talked about where it's like DM people to network with them grow comment on larger accounts just take a basic social media course and you're fine then write down a process you can test to write newsletters tweets Etc test it daily and refine it when you hit a roadblock right what you're doing here is you're just creating systems you're creating step-by-step things that you are going to do on a daily basis to do things better right so if you learn okay I need to write my newsletter with this framework then write down the steps to do that and then use the steps that you gave yourself and then when something comes up when a problem comes up then you actually have something you can change and test and so if that doesn't work for you then you go and look up okay how do I get better ideas you find a technique you implement it you change the steps a bit and then eventually you develop a system that becomes so profitable that you can sell not so profitable that you can sell but so impactful and gets you so much results that you can sell it if you want to or you can just milk it and get a ton of results that's what every single person does that's how you get results with anything if you want to grow on social media create steps refine them over time boom you win and this is also how you decrease your mental energy expenditure on the actual system is by refining it over time so what used to take me four hours of writing now takes me one to two hours just because it's second nature to me and I have my own system and so the last step number nine is to Branch out to different platforms I've repurposed my writing from Twitter and my newsletter and I've grown to 300 000 on Twitter 1.5 million on Instagram 200 and like 75 on YouTube which is newsletter as a script for the videos and then I create the reels by writing a script for them and that's what helps me grow on like Tick Tock and other things but overall I get more engagement than most people like most fitness models or writing right is the most impactful thing that's what everyone can read everyone can take a lesson from the screen and engage with it and share it with other people once you start doing this and once you start stacking your own content then you start to see which of your ideas do the best and you can start on one platform like Twitter and then once you have like 10 ideas that do well then you can take those to other platforms and use them to grow faster right that's what I did and so the last thing as always this takes a lot of time right this has been like a three to five year thing for me being a Creator where like when I say three to five years those first those that two-year Gap is like me not really taking it seriously where I made like my first 10K and then started slowly increasing and it was like 100k 150k and then 800k when I finally figured this out and now it's going even higher than that so all in all just stick it out there's a way to do it as a writer you just have to do like take action and be consistent for what would be getting a four-year degree but it's not like you're not getting paid along the way if you offer a product or service along the way by watching my other videos and last thing uh solopreneur Sprints starts on the 15th right so that's where you build the base of your one-person business uh we write content together we create a brand together and there's just a bunch of other bonus things that help with what we talked about in this video so I'd encourage you check that out Link in the description digital economics along with that doubles in price on that date just because people keep telling me to do it so we're going to try it out then lastly if you want my writing system check out to our writer all that stuff's in the description aside from that like comment subscribe if you don't want to buy anything all good I appreciate you either way peace
