Can you get paid writing online?

Hi Reader, I’d a few coaching calls with several writers this month. They all wanted to get started writing online. I love working with writers who’ve something to say online. In some ways… Writing online is easier than ever. So many great places to try: X Substack Quora Medium And yet, in other ways, writing online is harder than ever. In the beginning… It’s hard to gain traction on any one platform. And some of these platforms are full of crap, mass-produced AI content (ahem… X!) So, standing out is tough. That’s before factoring in the time to write and publish every day. So what should you do? I could offer you advice about headlines, writing templates, and writing tools. Time is short. The one platform that’s crushing it now? LinkedIn. LinkedIn isn’t just for bragging about promotions, hires, or looking for work. LinkedIn WANTS users to create and publish more content. But, fewer than 5% of LinkedIn users publish regularly. If you turn up and write helpful content, you’re in the top 5%. You’ll find more readers and paying clients faster than any other network. I’ve done. So have hundreds of other writers. Give it a try. Write on, P.S. If you want to earn $3-5k a month writing, I’m working with a cohort of writers. Details below. |

It didn’t happen at once, but… Even then… I didn’t march into my boss’s office and declare, “I quit!” until 2020. My writing business has gone up and down since I said: “I quit.” These days,...

Hi Reader, What are half of searchers doing after typing a term into Google? NOTHING. That’s according to a joint study by SEO companies SparkToro and Datos. Enter the world of zero-click search, where Google serves up content scraped from people’s sites and slaps it in front of readers without sending traffic in return. And get this: 30% of searchers who click are going to another Google-owned property, such as YouTube, Google Images, or Google News. As somebody who built a writing business...
