The Dead-Simple Path To Go From $0 To 7-Figure Writer

I’d like to share with you a dead-simple path to go from $0 to a 7-figure writer.

And guess what?

  • You don’t need a college degree
  • You don’t need 10 years of experience
  • And you don’t even need a mentor

In fact, the entire path of becoming a successful writer is very simple. Unfortunately, most writers don’t have a talent problem. They have a time problem (”This is taking too long!”), a consistency problem (”I don’t want to do this every day!”), and/or an ego problem (”I worked hard on this — people should read it no matter what”). But if you can overcome these obstacles, then the path to becoming a widely read and highly profitable writer becomes clear as day.

Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Write For Free

Every aspiring writer wants to know, Day 1, “How do I make the money? Where’s the money? When does the money come? Who pays me the money?”

But the irony is: obsessing over these questions actually makes it harder for you to monetize your craft.

Instead, you want to start by writing for free:

  • Write on social platforms for free.
  • Write your newsletter for free.
  • Even write for clients & customers for free.
