Have you ever wondered why some writers can charge absurd amounts of money for seemingly simple projects, while other writers work their tail off for minimum wage?

This isn’t an accident. And no, it’s not luck.

There is a giant difference between writers who make boatloads of money versus writers who spend their lives getting paid pennies on the dollar — and we want to share it with you. Because not only are we passionate about helping people get started writing online, build an audience, create a timeless library of content, and launch a portfolio of small bets (in the form of digital products), but we are also passionate about helping writers, creators, and solopreneurs move themselves up into the highest tiers of income.

So, with that in mind, let us introduce you to:

  • You have invested time into building yourself online, writing & publishing on a social platform like Twitter, LinkedIn, Medium, Quora, etc.
