At 25, I was suicidal.
At 32, I’ve made $40k+ from ghostwriting online.
If you’re stuck, lost, or ready to give up—read this.
5 decisions I made that saved my life and helped me build the life of my dreams:
@AlinDragu 40% through it... the setup is a bit tedious (& familiar if you've read hunger games) but ngl the rest of it so worth it. Would put it right next to Harry Potter as one of my favorites.
Writing tip:
Want to instantly hook your reader?
Start with a moment in time.
– “Back in the day…”
– “Last year, I made this mistake…”
– “In 2019, I thought I had it all figured out…”
Stories >> Bland statements.
Something I wish I knew earlier:
People are busy.
They’re wrapped up in their own lives.
They don’t care about you as much as you think.
The sooner you get this, the faster you’ll grow.
The invisible habit behind every LinkedIn post I’ve written
(that’ll improve your writing faster than a $997 course):
For context, this habit was followed by some of the greatest writers in history:
• Ernest Hemingway
• Gary Halbert
• Joe Sugarman
• David Ogilvy
• John Carlton
Sure, you could read a thousand books on writing, get a degree, or drop money on some overpriced course.
But none of that will matter if you’re not actually writing.
So how do you supercharge your writing?
Simple.
• Pick one of your favorite writers.
• Pick one of their pieces.
• Set a 20-minute timer.
• Write it out by hand.
It’s called handcopying.
And I’ve been doing this every single day before my writing sessions.
Why?
Because it helps you:
• Get in the groove.
• Feel the rhythm of great writing.
• Start absorbing their style into your own.
Musicians, painters, and other creatives do it all the time.
Why?
Because starting from scratch is overwhelming. Handcopying is the cheat code.
It’s also an awesome cure for writer’s block.
So go on, try it out and let me know how that goes.

LinkedIn writing tip:
Never write for results.
Likes. Impressions. Followers.
You can’t control them.
What can you control?
• How you show up
• How you edit
• How you structure your posts
Focus on that.
Ignore the rest.
LinkedIn writing tip:
Always write 3 versions of your hook before you publish.
Why?
– It flexes your creative muscles.
– You get 10x better at writing hooks.
– You’re forced to think about your post from multiple angles.
Highly non-negotiable.
LinkedIn writing tip:
Focus on How-I, not just How-to.
• Show them what they’re thinking.
• Explain why it’s wrong.
• Share YOUR way of thinking
• Why it works
Anyone can churn out generic, AI-generated “advice.”
Few double down on personality to stand out.
LinkedIn writing tip:
Always format for skimmability.
Most people don’t have time for giant text walls.
Make it impossible not to read:
– Vary sentence lengths
– Add white space
– Use bullet points generously
Your readers will thank you.
LinkedIn writing tip:
Always start with an outline—even if you’re short on time.
It beats staring at a blank page wondering what to write.
Just braindump everything you know on the topic.
Organize it logically.
Expand on the bullet points.
Done.
Easier. Faster. 100x better.

My client was already getting decent engagement on LinkedIn.
But was skeptical of writing a niche, story driven post.
We worked on one together anyway.
Here are the results we got:
→ Doubled average engagement
→ 200 new followers
→ 40 qualified leads from a single post
Because at the end of the day, engagement is nice—but leads pay the bills.
When I started writing online, I’d obsess over every sentence.
Spent hours tweaking a single post.
Half the time, I wouldn’t even publish.
Biggest unlock?
Giving myself permission to write garbage first.
It’s easier to fix something than perfect nothing.
