$100 Client:

"Please check in with me every morning at 10:00 AM to make sure we're on the right track, and if we're not, I will withhold payment."

$10,000 Client:

"Invoice paid. Let me know when you're done. Can't wait to see it!"

It doesn't matter how good you are at writing.

If you can't stay off your phone for 30 minutes, you won't succeed.

To master the writing game, master yourself.

High-engagement post idea:

Start with a question (e.g. Want to create content every day?).

Then mention the name of your system (e.g. Then try my 3-3-3 system:).

Then explain the system.

Question = Attention
System = Interest
Process = Value

Simple and effective.

Use contractions when you write.

"Don't" rolls off the tongue.

"Do not" is choppier.

90% of the time, smoother is better.

Writing Tip:

Start stories in the middle or at the end.

"I become a writer in 2012." is a weak intro.

"My blog generated $1.3 million in 2022" is much stronger.

Start at the middle/end, then continue with the beginning.

You'll hook more people that way.
