My friends thought I was crazy too

How to write about your interests on the internet, the right way

About 6 years ago, I started writing on the internet.

My friends thought I was crazy. Seriously. They meant well, but would always slightly make fun of what I posted (you learn to brush it off).

I was just sharing the ideas that I thought were important.

Because I loved studying personal growth, philosophy, business, psychology, and more. The only way I saw myself spending more of my time with those subjects I loved was to turn them into what I do for work.

And writing online was the most viable option to do that.

Fast forward to now, and I’ve built quite a sizeable audience. Over 5m+ people (which is great, but even once I reached 5,000, I was able to leave my job). And all I do is write about the ideas that I love learning about. That’s my entire job.

So many people try and fail at becoming a “creator” or “personal brand” or just someone who writes online.

Frankly, it’s because they don’t treat it as a skill they can acquire.

They think they can just show up and write something clever and expect to grow.

Doesn’t work that way. And if it does for a few lucky people, it’s because they have unconscious competence.

The reality is, you have to learn branding, marketing, sales, psychology, attention mechanics, and social media itself.

It takes a long time to do all of that. Years.

That’s why I’m running the creator bootcamp.

To teach you a system for novel idea generation, creating a niche of one, the ins and outs of writing posts, newsletters, and scripts - and more. The result is a skill that compounds for life.

It starts in a little under 36 hours. Tomorrow is the last day to join.

If you have interests you love and want to start turning them into what you do for work:

» Consider enrolling here before then.

This will be a complete masterclass on meaningful branding and content, so if you want to learn everything in one place, this is it.

I hope to see you inside.
