On a mission to become a better writer, thinker, and entrepreneur • Ex-dentist, now building an internet business (at ~$500k/year)
Do you want to be a writer?

It’s 2020. I’m stuck in morning rush hour, listening to James Clear discuss his writing journey. I’m excited. But as the episode ends, I sigh. I can’t help but focus on the gap between us. Him with millions of readers. Me with ten. Writing felt like a silly pipedream. Seemed you were either a best seller or living in your mum’s basement. How wrong I was. Because Clear is just the tip of the iceberg of a much bigger movement. There are many entrepreneurial writers building their dream business. They are evidence of the truth: You do NOT need millions of readers to succeed.Because how do you define “being a writer”, Reader? For me, it’s spending my mornings on the craft. It’s getting paid to think. It’s serving a group of people who love what I write. Sure, we might not hit Clear’s pinnacle. But nor do we need to. Because thousands of people online will pay well to solve problems you’ve overcome. The key is becoming THE writer for them. To create an Audience of True Fans. To do this, you need three things:
With simple systems, you can engineer a business where the more (and better) you write, the more you earn. And you can do it from anywhere in the world. I recently wrote a chapter of my new book overlooking Oslo. It sure beat the view of staring in people’s mouths :) Reach, relationships, revenue: The Magnetic Writing FlywheelI’m building a blueprint for you to execute this in my up-coming book Magnetic Writing. I’d love to nail it for you, so I need your help. Would you mind taking 2 minutes to fill out a questionnaire? You’ll get early access to a free chapter once it’s ready :) >>> Leave your thoughts here. Remember: You don’t need to be a best-selling author to be the best writer in someone’s world. Keep at it, Kieran P.S. Another misconception: You can only write about writing to get paid as a writer. Sure, us writer entrepreneurs are like the ants of the internet. But you don’t hear about the other niches. My clients write about injury prevention, building testosterone, financial coaching, executive coaching, meditation, property investment, and more. The internet has made niche obsessions profitable. Writing is just the magnet to make it happen. Let me help you nail it: |
