Are you interested having a handful of clients fund your creative lifestyle with a stable and sustainable business model that requires zero copywriting expertise and minimal writing ability? Then read on…

But hurry: This opportunity to write what you want and still get paid last opened in September 2024...

...and may never open again.

Out of morbid curiosity we once took a look at a list of writing careers on Indeed dot com.

Right there in the middle is the one many covet:

Author.

Average salary?

$43,000 per annum.

That’s not a lot, not in today’s economy.

But it gets worse, because you have to remember…

…that number includes includes Stephen King and Brandon "$34M per kickstarter" Sanderson.

The median is half that, or even less.

We think that’s why many writers in times gone by had regular old day jobs for so much of their careers.

• Khaled Hosseini was a doctor
• Tom Clancy was an insurance salesman
• Wallace Stevens worked full time in insurance
• William Carlos Williams was also a doctor
• Irvine Welsh worked for local government
• Arthur Conan Doyle was a surgeon. 

(In fact, Sherlock Holmes was created based on a doctor Conan Doyle once worked with who could diagnose a man from tiny details of observation, which makes Hugh Laurie’s House one of the most faithful adaptations after all.)

• Gene Wolfe was an engineer
  
• Charles Bukowski worked at a post office
• George Bernard Shaw worked for the telephone company
• Kurt Vonnegut was a car salesman

And the list goes on and on.

Many writers are tempted to go find a writing job so they can work on writing all day while being paid to do it. The problem is obvious though...

You’re taking your craft, the thing you love doing, and being forced to write the most bland and boring bollocks imaginable. If you’re anything like us, you bore easily when you’re writing something you’re not interested in at all.

Not to mention you get taken advantage of by clients looking for desperate writers to pin their whole business on for ten bucks an hour (we’ve seen the listings on job sites everywhere).

But what if you could write for money...

...without burning out, being taken advantage of, or getting bored?

What if you could get paid to write about whatever you want?

What if you could follow your interests and still earn a good income?

That’s why Wade created what we call the

This framework is simple, repeatable, and reliable. It lets you create newsletters with the ease of a prefilled template, without being repetitive or dull. You have no issues with so-called “writer’s block” because you always know exactly what to write about.

But more importantly?

The framework is designed to let you sit down every single week...

...and write about what you want to write about.

Not just the boring basics of the client’s business.

So you rock up to your writing desk each week, write about what you want to write about, pivot to the client’s business in the repeatable and reliable way we show you, and submit it. Simple.

So simple that all that will take you approximately one hour per week per client, and clients will gladly pay you $200-300 per issue for that hour that you mostly spent writing about whatever interests you that week.

Yes, some creativity is required.

If you just want to be told what to write, go get a content job at a mega corporation. Here in the Ghostletter Seminars, we won’t tell you what to write – that would defeat the point. Instead, we just tell you exactly how to structure it so you can explore your own interests and still be paid handsomely.

Dull-as-dishwater real estate client?

Well, you can either write regular newsletters about real estate every week until you’re so bored that you start slipping or quitting. Something like this every month:

• Week one: Write about real estate
• Week two: Write about real estate
• Week three: Write about real estate
• Week four: Write about real estate

Or you can use the ghostletter framework we teach to explore your own interests and have your calendar look like this:

• Week one: Write about the fall of Carthage
• Week two: Write about the discovery of radium
• Week three: Write about diet pills
• Week four: Write about Monet’s waterlilies

Which newsletter would you rather write?

Which newsletter would you rather read?

Because that’s the secret weapon of the ghostletter approach.

It’s less boring for you as a writer, sure. But it’s also more interesting for your client’s readers, which increases their retention rate, which increases their sales. Plus, if they have regular ecommerce marketing in place, it elevates all of that as well.

All of which makes for a happy client and keeps their money flowing into your bank account every single month.

Those last three words are key.

This isn’t a sales page project, or a book deal, or a website content package.

You aren’t going to be spending weeks looking for work, then burying yourself in a new project, learning a whole new business lingo and researching the market…

…only to complete it and have to go find a new client next month.

Instead, you find one client who pays you every single month, creating reliable recurring revenue. And then when you want more income, you find another and another.

But if you use the retention and referral framework built into the ghostletter model (see seminar 2) then you’ll have pretty low churn. That means you only have to look for new clients to grow your business, and not to constantly replace the ones leaving because the project is finished and they don’t need you any more.

This is where the ghostletter approach beats regular ghostwriting hands down.

Because it’s directly connected to your client making more money, they’re glad to keep paying you month after month. You don’t have to keep justifying your value to them because they can see the money coming in from the newsletters you write.

And because it’s a weekly deliverable, you don’t just drop it on their desk and go looking for new work...

...because they need another newsletter next week.

All of which adds up to give you long-term client retention.

(Wade currently has two clients with over 100+ consecutive weeks of newsletters each.)

That means more time writing and less time working on your client pipeline.

Which also means your hourly rate goes way up.

After all, nobody pays you to generate leads for your business.

If you spend five hours prospecting for one client, and get a single five hour project then you’ve effectively cut your hourly rate in half.

But if you spend those five hours getting a ghostletter client who sticks around for a year?

Those five hours mean you got paid for fifty hours of work in the first year alone, which is pretty good on its own. 

But if you follow the framework? You can easily keep them for much longer, or even escalate to include a percentage of revenue or take on new projects at a higher rate.

Wade has leveraged his clients to get long-term SEO content work that he charges a higher rate for, and even land a five-figure book contract with a single sales call. (“Easiest big ticket close in the history of big ticket closes” as he said to James afterwards.)

Yes, you’ll need to do some client getting work, that’s the inescapable reality of writing. We ain't selling magic bullets or silver pills round here.

The harsh reality is that someone has to pay you, if you’re going to eat. You are going to have to work to find that someone.

But what the ghostletter model does is...

With four clients in the bag you’re earning a thousand dollars a week.

Perhaps that’s enough for you, so you scale down your client generation work to an hour or two a week, just to keep the pipeline full in case someone does leave.

Perhaps you have a big expense coming up so you go to three or four hours to bring on another two clients.

And, of course, before you get there you have to spend a bit more time on it to build your portfolio of clients.

We’ll teach you exactly how to do that, with two client-generation methods that don’t involve endless hours creating social media content or sending painful cold DMs.

Ah, but how do you know you can deliver week after week?

What if you run out of ideas?

What if you can’t keep up?

What if you make a big mistake?

Well, first off, if you fail then you’re just back where you started, with a few lessons learned on the way.

We deliberately priced this thing so that a single month of client work will pay for the whole series of seminars because we hate putting people on the hook for expensive coaching that doesn’t go anywhere.

Even if you decided after that first couple of months that this isn’t for you, you’ll still have made a decent profit and learned a lot of valuable skills.

The ghostletter framework goes beyond ghostwriting newsletters. James uses it for structuring courses. Wade is using it for his book. One alumnus from our first semester is using it to write his weekly options trading newsletter and build his own business.

But we also don’t leave you hanging on the skill side.

James’ half of the seminars are dedicated to developing your writing chops so that even if you have no idea what you’re doing at the start, by the end you’ll have every skill you need to succeed.

You’ll learn how to generate endless ideas and avoid so-called “writer’s block”, then learn a host of tactics for how to write faster and get the words down without needing AI crutches or making mistakes you need to fix in editing.

“spent thousands of dollars on writing courses and 0 covered editing so thoroughly as he did”.

With all that in place, will you succeed?

We can’t make any promises and there are no guarantees because what matters is whether you’re willing to put in the work. So this isn’t for the biz opp, passive income, $10k a month in two days crowd.

But for writers who are willing to sit down and work hard at this, a few hours a week, for a few months?

We will give you every tool you need to build this into a six-figure income stream while only requiring 20 or so hours of your time. That’s where Wade got to with this model despite having no prior experience as a writer at all.

(Well, he was a lawyer and did some legal writing, but that counts as negative experience for writing engaging online content.)

And then, in case you want to, we show you how to grow it into something bigger using the escalation tactics we talked about a few paragraphs ago.

At this point Wade’s former lawyer self is demanding that we repeat all that to be exceedingly clear.

We are making no income claims or economic promises of any sort here. We can’t do that because it depends on you, your work ethic, and forces beyond our ken. The market moves, technology changes, nothing in this life is certain. Wade is an example of what is possible with this framework, not a guarantee for anyone else following in his footsteps.

/lawyer voice

We also want to go even further than the lawyers in caveating it all by saying:

This is not a get-rich-quick biz opp offer.

There’s a hard ceiling on the basic Ghostletter model. We can only speed up your writing so much, you will hit a limit. This is not going to be a billion dollar business for you. Probably not even a high six-figure one.

That’s not our goal with these seminars.

Our goal is to give you the solid and reliable foundation of income that you need to pursue other things, whether that’s launching a supplement business like Wade or writing novels and poetry like James.

That’s an important point, because newsletters are hot right now. Everyone and their mother’s aunt is starting a newsletter and therefore it’s a real easy sell to any client. Even better, it’s designed as a revenue-boosting bolt-on to a client’s existing marketing efforts, not a replacement to them.

That means that unlike copywriters chasing email marketing and sales page jobs, you aren’t competing against the client’s existing ecom agency. You don’t have to beat any controls or go up against hundreds of hungry copywriters competing for the same few clients.

You just demonstrate the framework to them, write the newsletter, send it over and get paid.

But cycles change and churn.

We can’t guarantee this opportunity is open forever. (Even though, two years in, Wade finds it easier than ever to get new clients.) But if you can open up time by working this model, you’ll have the ability and the resources to build the backup options that will keep you safe from seismic shifts.

So if the meta changes, if something stops working, if you stop working because of age or ill-health, you’ll have alternative paths you can take. You get space to plan and build before you need to. Or if you get a year or two down the line, you can fire a few clients to focus on launching a new business or writing a book (Wade did this recently to launch his supplement business.)

Heck, you can just keep your day job or your copywriting career and take on two clients for a cool ~$24,000 a year and sock it away for investments or options trading on the side. You could hit those deliverables on Saturday morning or after the kids are in bed.

This all requires work.

You will have to practice the framework we teach. You will have to put a few hours into the client-generation methods we show you. You will have to actually write and deliver the newsletters to the clients you get.

There will be no “easy-AI one click prompt” nonsense inside. AI absolutely cannot replicate this framework with the level of care and personality that is required to make it work. Especially not across months of relationship building between you, your client, and the readers of their newsletter.

It requires you to put in the work.

What it does not require is any great creativity or genius. It does not require you to be an excellent writer, in fact that can be a disadvantage for reasons we explain in seminar one.

If that’s something you can handle, if you’re not afraid of a little effort, and if you want a simple and repeatable writing revenue model that will dramatically boost your income and/or decrease your hours (depending how you play it) then sign up for the ghostletter seminars.
