Why creators are dying (and how to survive)

In July 2025, I was in Barcelona, journaling in a cafe nestled in a cobbled side street. I should’ve been ecstatic. I’d just made $88,000. I was writing my book and travelling in Europe. The only way life could be better was if Mila Kunis woke me every morning with a steaming cup of Yorkshire Tea. But instead, I wrestled with an issue: I didn’t like my writing. I couldn’t work out why. It’s been 5 years since I started, and I feel like I’m getting pretty good. But I couldn’t ignore the voice...

Before we dive in: Come see me live in Canada! Next year, I'm speaking at my first live event in Vancouver. It's called the Creator Economy Convention. There are loads of great speakers (Dan Koe being the most notable, except me, of course 😉). It’s on June 5th. I’ll be sharing how to succeed on Onlyfans. GRAB YOUR EARLY BIRD TICKET HERE Welcome to August's Monthly Memo. I've changed the name from “business report”. This sounds more catchy. Plus, as a writer, you are in the business of...

Before we dive in: Increase your profit (without needing more customers) Craig Shoemaker has helped me and other 6- and 7-figure entrepreneurs run more profitable education businesses. He’s built a great mini-course just for my readers. You’ll see 5 simple systems to make more money without chasing new leads. GET THE MINI-COURSE NOW ‘I can’t take this job.’ My boss’s face dropped. It’s September 2nd, 2021. I was meant to start work at a premium cosmetic dental clinic, with as many clients as...

Before we dive in: I started posting on Substack!: I’ll be sharing more long form content there combined with my short form stuff from X. So if you’re looking for a one-stop shop, it’s a good spot (although these emails are the priority). Would love to connect: FIND ME ON SUBSTACK Last week, I recorded a 35-minute video sharing an overview of my business. (There’s a link at the bottom of this page.) Over 200 people downloaded it on social media. But as I scrolled through the replies I read...

Before we dive in: I’m releasing a free course! I quit my 9-5 on September 2nd, 2021. To celebrate, I’m writing a 14-day email course called The Business of Writing. It is everything I wish I knew about starting and scaling a writing business. To get it, hop on the waitlist by clicking the link below. It will only be available once. SIGN UP HERE 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...

Before we dive in: Steal this killer email template My friend Chris Orzechowski was my first email coach. He is incredible at writing money-making emails. If you want to make sales from your list today, copy and paste his 92 word email and watch what happens next... GET THE EMAIL TEMPLATE I hang up the Zoom call. “Damn.” I think to myself, kicking back on the sofa. “That was awesome.” It’s January 2025. I’ve just finished my first call with a new coaching client. I was apprehensive when I...

Before we dive in: The antidote to AI-generated content: With AI on the rise, you can’t afford to sound generic. If you want to set yourself apart and grow your business, writing with the human touch is key. The best place? Email. That’s why you should check out Creator Forest. The writer, Martin, built a 6 figure business through human-centric emails. And he created a free email course and a weekly newsletter to help you do the same. JOIN CREATOR'S FOREST TODAY In July, I hit my 5th 6-figure...

As a dentist, it was my dream to travel the world as a writer. But as an entrepreneur, I’ve struggled with the dance between focus and freedom. When work feels like play, sitting in your flat 7 days a week has its own allure. The better business has gone, the more travel has scared me. What if I fall behind? What if I get lazy? So last month, I set out to mainland Europe to run an experiment: Can I build my writing business whilst exploring the world? Here are 3 observations (and a big...

Before we dive in: Most creators have a $10K offer hiding in plain sight They just don’t know how to package it. That’s why I recommend this free 1-Page High Ticket Offer Template from my friend Bryan Harris (Founder at Growth Tools). It shows you how to take your existing expertise—and structure it into a premium offer clients actually want.No fancy funnel. No big audience needed. Bonus: it includes 1 week of free coaching to help you build it. STEAL BRYAN’S TEMPLATE + 1 WEEK OF COACHING...

This month, I crossed my 5th year as a writer. I can’t find the exact day because I spent my first summer fumbling through attempts to get going. But I can safely say this: Deciding to write was the smartest decision of my life. I’ve never worked harder or dealt with more doubt, fear, and uncertainty. But I’ve never learned more about life as a result. And if I had to boil down my early success to one thing, it would be this: Persistence. Because you can overcome 99% of problems simply by...
