Read time: 4 minutes Hey Reader, Do you know what time it is? It's SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT TIME! ðĨģïļ Let me tease you with a little background first... â I recently emailed writers about their goals.I wanted to figure out how I could help them. (And - by proxy - how I could help YOU âïļ) Questions included:
I'll quickly summarise the feedback: Person A wants more views & to make (semi) passive income from writing online.
Person B wants help getting more clients, negotiating, pitching, setting rates, etc. (I.e., freelancing).
â Whichever person you relate to, I can help.I've gone from being stuck in a dead-end job to making $100K a year through writing. This includes working with clients, selling digital products, and other bits and bobs (affiliates, etc). Don't get me wrong; it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Existential dread hits me from time to time like anyone else ð But I love playing with words for a living, and I want to help more writers like you succeed. Here's a question: What would you do with an extra $2-3K/month? It's more than possible with the right help. â So this is why I'm (soft*) launching...*Drum roll, please* ðĨðĨðĨðĨðĨ The Committed Writers Club! ðĨģïļIf you've taken part in one of my 30-Day Writing Challenges, The Committed Writers Club will be like that - but EVEN BETTER! (And, dare I say, more laid back. You won't have to write every single day! ð) It'll be an online community where writers can share ideas, cheer each other on, and hold each other accountable to their goals. You see, if there's one thing I've learned over the last 4 years, it's is: Committing to writing is hard. Some days - no matter what New Year's Resolution you set yourself - the words just don't come. And that's okay! But rather than give up on your writing dreams completely, we'll help each other through the difficult times so that you DON'T give up ð â Key benefits of The Committed Writers Club include:
Key features include:
Important info:
â *Here's the thing.I will only make The Committed Writers Club a thing if people actually want it. I know this community has the potential to be INCREDIBLE. And I know it's something I want to see in the world. But if people don't like the idea, that's totally cool. So, if you want to be one of the 15 founding members of The Committed Writers Club, AND you're willing to put your money where your mouth is, I'm asking you to PayPal me your first month's membership ($50). If I can get 15 people to do this in the next 7 days, I'll have proved there's enough demand, and I'll launch The Committed Writers Club this summer! ðĨģïļ If I can't, you'll get your money back. â Now, I know this isn't how people usually launch things.Some writers send email after email about their new product or community. (All power to them!) But that feels icky to me. So here's what I'll do instead: I'll swing by in 3 days' time with a brief reminder about The Committed Writers Club. I know that sometimes people forget or they need time to think through purchases like this. Then, one week from now, I'll announce if I've managed to get 15 people through the door. If I don't, I'll return everyone's money. Simple! So, if you're looking for:
Make The Committed Writers Club a reality by PayPaling me your first month's membership ($50). I want to make this the best online writing community in the world. And with your help, I believe we can. Thanks so much for reading. Let's do this! :) Scott p.s. If you have any questions, please reply to this email, and I'll answer them all in the follow-up email in 3 days' time! :) â |

Read time: 3 mins ðĒ Spoiler alert: I have an important update at the end of this email... Hey Reader, I'll be honest; I'm not sure about the freelancing course I put out last week. It was an experiment. I wanted to see: What the unsubscribe rate would be How it would feel to put it out there Whether anyone would book a call It's a mixed bag on all these things, and I felt a little dirty putting the course out there. Why? I copied the style from another creator and it didn't really vibe with...
Read time: 3.5 minutes Hey Reader, I recently moved into my new apartment! ðĨģïļ And not long after, I lost a major client ðĪŠ Months of steady work and then suddenly POOF - I wasn't needed anymore. Company structuring. Layoffs. Gone. If this happened to me two years ago, I would have FREAKED OUT! But this time? I was like "meh". That's because I've developed a system for landing gigs and making that sweet $$ As a result, I recently closed two new clients, taking my income back to where it was a...
Read time: 1 minute Hey Reader, Now I know what you're thinking: You're a writer, Scott! Why are you recording YouTube videos?! I hear you! The truth is, the video I've just uploaded might be a one-off. I had grand plans to do a whole series around introverts. But after finishing this video, I've realised how much time YouTube takes. Writing the script, recording the video, editing, making a thumbnail, writing the description... It's a lot! And although I could outsource the process, I'm not...
