Read time: 2 minutes Hey Reader, I want you to meet Jenn. We met through my Free 30-Day Writing Challenge. For the last 5 weeks, I've held open office hours, and Jenn hopped on. We got chatting, and she asked lots of great questions about writing. I also learned she has a successful YouTube channel (~170K subscribers).

Read time: 3.5 minutes Hey Reader, I recently moved into my new apartment! 🥳️ And not long after, I lost a major client 🤪 Months of steady work and then suddenly POOF - I wasn't needed anymore.

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...
