Thank you so much for all this content Cole! You inspired me to start Online Writing. I read your book, The Art and Business of Online Writing, and started answering questions in Quora last January. I published an article a day, then transferred to Twitter last February. Now, I have 500+ followers in Twitter, offering ghostwriting services (with the help of your new book, the a&b of ghoswriting). You actually just quoted my thread yesterday. The one featuring the 5 archetype ghostwriting voices. Really grateful for that! Love your content bro! Keep inspiring :D
That was a great thread! Nice work curating those insights. Do you have any interest in joining us in PGA & scaling your ghostwriting services? premiumghostwritingacademy.com
I just found your thread on twitter and it was 🔥- great work and solid curation as I had read the original from Cole first. Thanks for setting such a great example Nathaneal! 🚀🤩
Biggest take away from the video - You’re not just a writer but a business consultant solving problems with writing. Secondly, It’s important to niche down and specialise rather than writing across different niches.
Thank you so much for this much needed explanation Nicolas, to the people entering this world of finding a ghostwriter! It can be tough and there are some shady people out there. I was lucky to have my book written and published through a Houston Based company Writers Of The West and that saved me a great amount of time and hassle!
My biggest takeaway from the video is being specific on who you target (Made me wonder on the clients I should target) video was informative and thank you Nicolas for always bringing your best to help us get better.
Awesome. I love how you simplify everything when everyone else is trying to overcomplicate. My current goal is to get to $15k a month as a ghostwriter.
My reflection on the video: • Ghostwriting is a profitable career path and side hustle that offers benefits beyond monetary compensation. • To get started as a ghostwriter, it is crucial to position yourself as a premium professional and avoid calling yourself a freelance writer. • Develop a premium offer by focusing on solving a specific problem in a particular person in a specific way. • Conduct premium outreach by identifying potential clients and educating them about their problems and your solutions. • Make the 10X choice by setting high standards and charging premium rates that reflect the value you provide. Thanks for this actionable advice!
My biggest current goal as a premium ghostwriter is to create content and learn different unique voices of my clients but also how to write engaging content.
Nicolas dropping some major bombshells. My fav takeaway: Creating high-quality samples tailored to specific niches demonstrates writing and messaging skills to clients. This is critical for attracting first clients and getting good rates. Ghostwriting for the win! 🥳
My goal is to create my first EEC, and get a client in my niche and focus on over-delivering and exceeding expectations , to build long term relationship with the clients. like win-win situation.
As a premium ghostwriter my goals is to get my first client. Once I do that I guess my perspective on how to make money and get clients will change and hope it will change my life also… excited to get inside PGA.
As cole says earning as a writer is a easy as he has done it multiple times. So as a writer I want to do the same, and get a seat in the PGA and make a living through solely ghostwriting and as a ghostwriter deliver results to clients..
Takeaway: Not writing anything for anyone, and rather being specific and solving 1 problem, 1 person and 1 specific way. I figured out my 1-1-1. I'm targeting health oriented youtube creators to sell their projects using EEC, but how do I make EEC?
why I want to join PGA Lately I've been seeing ghostwriting booming and everybody saying it's lucrative job and seeing this video. Like is this for real 5k $ per client. It doesn't seem real. But I'm hyped up now. Excited to learn.
eager to join the PGA to learn the methods for attracting clients and over-delievvering them as much as possible, also learn how to make sales script, cold and warm outreach.
My current goals as a Premium Ghostwriter: I discovered ghostwriting watching cole and ali abdaal's podcast. Then I joined PGA (Free Version). currently I'm 3 months in this ghostwriting niche. Posting out content and outreaching clients. Yet no clients, till now. I'm targeting Self-Improvement RUclipsrs to write for them on X (Twitter) and LinkedIn. So my current goal as a premium ghostwriter is to taste my first 5-6k $ / m.
Current goals as a Premium Ghostwriter: 1. My goal as a Premium Ghostwriter is to target Course Creators and help them develop a specific Content Style. Be that through humour, idiosyncrasies, their unique local vocabulary, or different writing styles, i.e., terse or long-winded or even poems. Any specific style/content that helps them stick out. Many course creators copy the teaching styles of other creators like The Hormozis or Justin Welsh and start doing actionable tips and nothing else. But they can easily add a specific content style and immediately stand out. That’s the gap I think that I can help them fill. P.S. I’ve noticed that even you’ve newly added more humour in your recent videos, it’s working. Biggest takeaways from the video: 2. The biggest reminder through this video for me is to focus on becoming a Business Consultant first, to get better clients. It reminds me of how important it is to create a content library in a specific niche. Only then will that library serve me as my Consultancy Playbook (which I can reuse unlimited times). Wanting to join PGA: 3. I want to join PGA for several reasons: • I feel like my offer is failing because of some gap that I can’t recognize. I can’t understand how to frame it so that course creators can see the monetizable value. • I have tried cold emailing, and it has been hard. I can’t understand how to reach out to more people and keep working simultaneously. • I want to create EECs, but I can’t find any other online resource to guide me in making them. Please select me, Cole!
This is a really fantastic distillation and I found it extremely helpful - even though I’ve already taken your FSW and Ship30 courses! My goals are currently to: develop and run my Piano Liberation Workshop course, to learn-by-doing all the components such as landing page, email sequence (both done!) - then deploy that expertise (and template, where applicable) towards ghostwriting for others. The biggest takeaway for me from this vid was the differentiation between writing and being a marketing consultant who happens to be a professional writer.
I am an aspiring ghostwriter looking forward to writing tweets and threads for clients and improving my writing skills over time.And hoping to earn money along this process.
My takeaway from the vid; - My biggest current goal as a premium ghostwriter is to create content and learn different unique voices of my clients but also how to write engaging content. - Making exceptional content is my priority as a premium ghostwriter by captivating storytelling. and explore other things like EEC inside the academy. - In my goal as a premium ghostwriter, is to know how to make sales pitch and close the client in the “Sales call” and know more about cold and warm outreach.
My takeaway from this video: "Never call yourself a Freelance writer" I've been freelance writing for a 6 months now and I now I realize how "powerful" it makes a writer by just not calling himself a freelance writer. This was the most valuable point among all for me.
Yet another highly valuable video! My goals as a ghostwriter are exactly what you laid out in this video: • Learn more about my interest(s) • Improving my writing skills through practice • Genuinely help people improve their business All while getting paid more than enough to make a comfortable living. Your expertise is apparent and I'd love to learn from you in PGA to get the coaching, tools and resources I need to better serve my clients. Thanks for consistently posting valuable content that inspires hope by offering new ways of approaching writing for a living. Eventually I'd love to be able to pay it forward!
There are so many gems! My greatest takeaways are how ghostwriting opens up an exciting avenue for aspiring writers like myself to use our skills to help others tell their stories and ideas. It's not just about writing for someone else; it's about forging new career paths, building valuable connections, and even earning substantial income along the way. It unlocks a whole new world of possibilities!
I used to think that I would never be able to become a writer buy Cole has convinced that that I can not only become a writer but a high quality premium ghostwriter. Thank you so much Cole.
My biggest takeaway from this video is that you can't just sit around and wait for the ideal client to find you. You have to go out there and find your ideal client. And when you find that ideal client, give them what they need-a free consultation. Show your ideal client one important problem that they have (that they may not even be aware of) and how you can provide them with a valuable service that improves their problem, thereby enhancing their business, marketing content, etc. It's almost a no-brainer to hire you then. And if they don't hire you at that moment-well, who knows what the future may hold. Guaranteed you left a lasting impression, and they'll knock on your door in the future.
As a premium ghostwriter, my current goal is to learn and hone my craft of writing, constantly seeking to improve and refine my skills. The emphasis on premium positioning and the innovative approach of free consulting particularly struck a chord with me, shedding light on new paths for growth and impact. The opportunity to join the PGA would be an invaluable step in my journey, offering the mentorship and community I need to transform my passion for writing into a rewarding and successful career. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and for the chance to be part of this transformative experience.
Hi Cole. Thanks for all the value you share with us all for free. Here's why I want to join PGA. I've been a freelance writer for about 4 yrs now and to be honest, the burn out is real. Moreso, I've struggled to hit my dream income goals. So when I discovered you and learned about premium ghostwriting, I knew instantly that this is exactly what I need to do. I've already started. Rebranded myself as an EEC ghostwriter for business coaches. I'm currently creating an EEC for one coach which we're going to launch next month. My plan is to use that as a case study when pitching paying clients (which I'll start doing next month). So by joining PGA, I'll be able to polish my craft and my offer and learn from the GOAT himself (you Cole 😉) and therefore be able to grow my ghostwriting business and scale it faster. So I'm really praying I get the FREE seat 🙏🙏🙏 My TAKEAWAY from the video: To command high rates as a writer, I need to not offer a commodity (writing any kind of content for anyone and labeling myself as a freelance writer) instead, a premium offer is what will attract the high-tier clients... specifically solving 1 problem for 1 type of person in 1 way.
You have made me understand over and again that freelancing is not the route. Building a Ghostwriting business is, whether you want to build an agency or not. This idea alone has made me carry this consciousness that I'm a business owner not a freelance writer. I would love to join PGA to Learn the practical steps i can use to build more credibility as a ghostwriter. Especially with offering the service of EEC to my prospective clients. I'm building my personal brand on LinkedIn as a nonfiction book Ghostwriter and i just added EEC to it. I'm really passionate about Ghostwriting, and ever since i got to know about EEC from you, it's been an eye opener.
Absolutely thrilled to have this opportunity.Joining PGA would not only help me hone my skills but also learn how to effectively position myself in the market to attract high-paying clients.
What resonates most with me in this video was lesson no 1 about why we should never call ourselves freelancers. I'd put this on my LinkedIn page and after taking the 5 email PGA courses, I immediately went to yank it off. The course about designing an email course, and educating prospective clients too, is pure gold. There is no part of the email course I'd taken earlier, and this video that I did not find useful. While we are often told not to count our chickens before they are hatched, I could already envision myself joining the PGA. I have not wanted many other things more and I hope my desire to be a part of the success story of PGA and to someday pay forward your generosity in giving a chance to someone to join for free, would stand me a good chance of being picked.
Thanks Cole. Ghostwriting has always been my career trajectory in writing. You inspired me more to carry on. Also, you make me feel confident I am on the right path.
Learnt about the 5 blueprints required to GoPro and nitch down in order to achieve the 10x choice status as a writer. Thanks Cole for sharing the very insightful knowledge. Am new to Ghostwriting anyway, it's great having this kind of knowledge pretty early.
Hey Nicolas! 1. My current goals are to land my fourth client and to deliver my second email course. Luckily, I'll overcome my beliefs so I can do so at a premium price. 2. My biggest takeaway from this vid is the fact that most "premium offers" out there have the initial 2 segments (problem and target industry) but lack the specific way that helps that person become more of a "category of one" (similar to how you talk about it on snow leopard).
How do you set goals for your first year of ghostwriting? There are so many unknowns. How big is my niche? What can I expect to earn? What can I charge? In the first instance, I'd like to be fully booked. That's goal No. 1. After that, to raise rates. I have been working with former competitors, helping them how to replicate what I achieved with my e-commerce business. I build out their blogs and set up email sequences; I create landing pages and lead magnets. But it's a lot of work! The simplicity of your approach is what I find attractive. Productised services seem to be the way to go. Step 2 is definitely where I'm falling down. Joining the PGA would bring some much-needed clarity.
Such an insightful video, Cole! My goal is to start and position myself as a Premium Ghostwriter, mainly in the aviation and travel tech industry. The biggest takeaway from this video is that a Premium Ghostwriter is more of a business consultant rather than just a writer. That's also what makes them attractive for clients. I want to join PGA to learn how to position myself as a Premium Ghostwriter and how to start on this journey to ensure that I can ditch my 9-5 and make a full-time income from ghostwriting.
I want to join pga is because i like and want to explore the field of content writing and make proove content writing as one of the main or core activity to be included
Incredible video! I am eager to pivot into premium ghostwriting, your message struck a chord with me. My main goals are to embrace the digital nomad lifestyle fully and master the art of setting and getting premium rates for my work. The segment on building a portfolio that shines and networking effectively was pure gold. "Change your words, change your worth," is now my mantra. I'm curious about the PGA and how it can further my aspirations. Can’t wait to engage more and learn from your wisdom.
One again, love your sense of humor, especially when talking about Upwork. "Set up an account on Upwork" is the typical advice given from so-called freelance writers to people who want to write for a living. Sites like that probably kill the aspirations of talented writers. My biggest takeaway was to get off the beaten path. Try these five proven steps and be a 5k a month ghostwriter. There's more advice than the five. These compliment your book on ghostwriting. It's the only worthwhile book in the topic rich with writing wisdom. Of course, I'd love to be mentored by you in PGA, who wouldn't? It's a program that will definitely catapult someone's writing career. I write daily in my 9-5 and I've had a great run at it, but it's not a writer career. I'm learning from the Fullstack Writer program and it's provided great insight in addition to anonymous ghostwriter. Either way, your content is liberating for people who want to write but get hung up on the self composed roadblocks that keep them from taking that first step. Thank for sharing these lessons on writing.
Very clear and insightful as always. My take away is that a ghostwriter needs to be a consultant. He identify problems the client does not know he has and solves them with a service. That's my North star from now on !
Thanks! Biggest takeaway - focus on becoming a valuable business consultant while improving my writing and messaging skills. Why I need to join PGA - to get to know a boatload of interesting people and learn from all of them, to get better at writing and to be more effective and efficient in building my business.
Thank you for sharing this Nicolas! We as ghostwriters sometimes tend to sell ourselves short and that could lead to not being taken seriously in this line of work. I was like that too until I joined my current ghostwriting agency Writers Of The West. I was fortunate enough to learn from the founder himself and have never looked back since then!
Hey Cole, you had me at Hello...well, actually at 1:51 of the video when you said you get paid to learn, you get paid to practice your craft. As a pathological life-long learner currently undiagnosed under the DSM-V-TR, these attributes of Premium Ghostwriting create the perfect Venn diagram of Learn-Do-Love. I would love to join PGA for these reasons. 👻
Love this video, two major take aways: 1. A premium offer solves 1 problem for 1 type of person. When you only solve that one problem, you become the best choice for the person who has that problem. 2. The people who need ghostwriters don’t want to get someone off of Upwork. Because why would a business owner want a generalist if they could hire a specialist?
Love this. My biggest take away was to avoid the trap of writing anything for everyone. Instead solve 1 problem, for 1 person, in 1 way. This way you can become more efficient, and have more control over your service 👻
- In my goal as a premium ghostwriter, is to know how to make sales pitch and close the client in the “Sales call” and know more about cold and warm outreach.
My dream is to write and have my own agency. I have two little ones, and being able to live my dream, create a business that allows for time and freedom to provide for them while helping others is a triple win. The PGA program looks fantastic and I’d love to learn from Cole 🙏
Thanks for the awesome video, Cole! The biggest takeaways for me were: 1. A ghostwriter is paid (not just financially) in many ways that will enrich their life. 2. It's doable to become a ghostwriter. 3. Don't call yourself a freelance writer 4. Offer premium services to clients. 5. Get paid based on value, not on time
Great video! My goal is to become a full time ghostwriter so I can leave my current labor job that drains all my energy. My big take away from video is that your actually becoming a business consultant that has the skill of writing! Massive
Thanks for the tips! What resonates with me the most is the idea of calling myself a ghostwriter. That's a really interesting perspective. My goal is to transition into a career in writing. You make it sound so easy I really want to learn more.
My focus as a premium ghostwriter is on make content that goes viral as well as that reflects the unique voices of my clients and resonates with their audiences. The most important thing I want to learn is how to delight and retain clients as much as possible to avoid burn-out of outreaching and focus on making content pieces for them.
Hey Cole! You're Absolutely right about never calling yourself a freelancer in any domain, not just writing, people hear freelancer, and they immediately perceive what you do as either free or almost free 😂 I want to switch from graphic design and get into digital writing, I'm excited as I actually plan to learn to ghostwrite for speakers, coaches and consultants in the self-improvement, self-actualization niches, I joined your free Skool group, and I'm looking forward to joining PGA as well, thank you for your service, Cole!
Thanks for the video Nicolas 🙂 I'm still new to PG but my goal is to make 2 or 3 clients at $3-5K/mth per project. I prefer monthly retention rather than a one time gig. My biggest takeaways: Always use the rule of one. Become a specialist because generalist will never paid as much. Positiniong is everything, be a trustworthy consultant by solving the problem they never knew they have. I believe PGA has what it takes to help me become that kind of Ghostwriter. Thanks for the eye-opening video Nicolas 👍
Great video! I've been spinning my wheels, trying to get into ghostwriting and out of my day job. I hope to use this framework to build up enough side income so I can get into PGA and really accelerate my writing, earnings, and ability to help others succeed and grow.
-"Be the business consultant that can solve a client's problem with writing" -Giving away consulting advice for free and monetising the implementation of such advice. Those were my biggest lessons from this video. People love free stuff, and they'll love it more if it's actually genuine. Genuinely free stuff in turn builds trust. Trust is the greatest currency. A Ghostwriter who lives by these principles will never run out of clients!
Hey Cole, A premium learning experience with premium people and premium earnings - that's the impression I'm getting from this video and PGA. I haven't found any other job/service that offers this level of premium benefits. I'm truly eager and excited to join PGA.
Current goal as a ghostwriter is to know how to properly pitch clients and seal the deal, and new ways to outreach clients and not look like some salesly person.
My biggest takeaway from the video is how much these ghostwriter learn all at once. Damn, never taught it this way until cole put it. like - Get paid to learn, - Networking, - Know about trends, - Practice your craft, - Experience different lives Just wondering what’s inside the PGA
The biggest takeaway is to be very specific about who you work with because you're only hurting yourself in the end. Working for free in the beginning is a great way to build connections and help you hone your writing skills. I want to join the PGA to improve as a writer, and my goal as a ghostwriter is to work on my schedule, start living, stop surviving, and pursue a career in something I'm interested in.
Hey Nicolas ! so greatfull for all the content you share here My goals as a ghostwriter is to gain the ability to do something that I love and enjoy and from anywhere in the world . also I want to expend my network and knowledge with inspiring and sucssesfull individuals . My biggest takeaway from the video is that you don't want to be just a writer . you should also focus on developing yourself and becoming a consultant that implement their solutions via writing . keep up the great videos and the value you spread out!
1. As a Premium Ghostwriter, my immediate goal is to secure my next $5000/month client in the next 4 weeks or less for my Twitter (X) Ghostwriting services. 2. And my biggest takeaways from the video are: * Nicolas writing for Silicon Valley companies and C-Suite Executives just shows how everything is possible with consistent & quality work. I am inspired. * I understood why ghostwriting is the best career path which allows me to get paid for learning, experiencing different lives, & developing different voices for variety of clients * And the biggest takeaway was to not be "Freelance writer" but instead be "Specialized Threads Ghostwriter" & not help clients with anything & everything. Summary: Be a niched premium Ghostwriter with a premium offer who helps people with value & expertise to seperate themselves from the 99% of boring old businesses P.S: I want to join PGA to retire my parents. They have been working too long, this is a way to give them a break and my next best reason is to grow my audience on X to 1M while impacting clients through my services. What's best than Dickie & Cole providing their most profitable & scalable secrets of ghostwriting in PGA?
Why I want to join PGA: To have the opportunity to learn from the best! Especially in the technicalities. When I came across your 5 Day EEC, I knew I’d found a unique way to help educate and tell stories through writing. Both of which I find so fascinating and exciting! Eager to learn. Fingers crossed 🤞😃
My biggest takeaway from the video is not calling yourself a “freelance ghostwriter”, as cole said “Words Matter” and it helps to position yourself higher and your perceived value is higher in the eyes of the client, out of all this was my takeaway.
My biggest goal as a premium ghostwriter is to reach the $10k a month sweet spot and never stop from there. So, this Premium offer option is what mostly resonates with me. And THIS is why I want to join PGA.
Hey Cole! Thank you so much for the video My takeaway: Don't just be a writer. Be a business consultant that solves problems. My current goals as a Premium Ghostwriter? Make my first $1 ghostwriting.
I’ve been going in circles for MONTHS. FINALLY I’ve come across this video at random. I’ve even been contemplating to sign out for a few weeks now (not that serious, I think most people reach this point at least once in their life). So……I’m going to go and implement all of this. And, IF THIS WORKS! I’m joining the PGA, and I’m sending an extra 5k as a token of my appreciation (for LITERALLY saving my life). If this doesn’t work in the next 40 days I’m probably gonna just sign out.
I've wanted to join this cohort for a while but just couldn't swing it financially. I've invested a lot of time creating an EEC but I'm not sure if it is good enough. I am always looking for clarity and optimization but The only option I have is to absorb what I can for free and hopefully, something sticks. I love your content, Nicolas, and I have to say, to date, I've yet to consume anything of yours that was not helpful in some fashion. Kudos to you for all of your hard work and amazing accomplishments (including marriage). If I were to be fortunate enough to be gifted entry into the program, it would be better than hitting Powerball. I want to evolve. Love this video. Best.
Why I want to join PGA? Well, Cole! You are the person who taught us what ghostwriting really is. I firmly believe you are the best mentor for those who want to kick the ghostwriting career and pitch to high ticket clients. But for students like me, I'll not be able to buy this course until I earn some grands via copywriting.
I currently have two main goals as a premium ghostwriter: Firstly, I want to develop a system that allows me to get high-quality clients consistently and reliably and escape the feast and famine cycle. Secondly, I aim to help people in the self-education space - be it course creators, coaches, or mentors. After completing my business management degree, I now understand the value of self-education over formal education and have a real drive to help people access self-education instead of going down the traditional route. My biggest takeaway from the video is that I shouldn't be the kind of writer who offers any kind of service, and that it’s important to maintain a level power dynamic (by offering only one premium service that they NEED) with the client when dealing with them so that I don't end up being overworked and underpaid.
Thank you Cole. My biggest takeaway from the video is the specific outreach strategy you suggest; Finding business owners in one specific niche and looking for ways you can help them. (Are they trying to build an email list with a newsletter, or by offering a first time discount offer?) If they are, you could approach them as a consultant offering a free consultation, effectively explaining that an educational email course for their prospects will have a much higher opt in rate than a Newsletter as education provides value and builds trust. They are more likely to get a higher sale value from prospects that appreciate their product or service rather than trying to snag a money off discount. Through positioning yourself as a consultant that can provide solutions for the business, the business owner has a contact that can do more for the business than just write content. As a ghostwriter / business consultant you can offer strategy and content; Educational Email Courses will increase their email lists, which will increase their customer base, which will increase their revenue. And by using this educational outreach approach to find ghostwriting jobs, my reputation and skills will improve. So it's a win win .... and I have more chance of making an income from creating my premium offer of Educational Email Courses for my niche.
1. I am currently pitching Therapists for newsletter services through cold emails. I aim to land 1 high ticket client (who can pay me 1000$ - 5000$+ a month) before April. 2. I want to join PGA to get a supportive community that will inspire me to keep going when I don't feel content with my progress. I also want to learn further on how to write, automate and package EECs as a service. I believe PGA will help me achieve that. 3. My biggest takeaway from the video is having a premium offer. I wish I knew this thing 2 years ago when I started writing online. Having an irreistible offer is what's going to set your part from other writers and help you close deals.
My goals as a ghostwriter: After going through FSW and GWA I have a clear vision on my niche and the product I want to offer (educational email courses). So my goal is to get the knowledge and support to not only create and launch my EEC but also land my first 5k client. PS: For some reason the sentence „consult for free and monetize the implementation“ clicked for me just now!😄 - Quasim
Cole I started reading your art & business of ghostwriting book and it's 🔥 How exactly do you create efficiencies to keep earning more while working less? Surely more clients means more writing and less time?
This is so powerful Cole. I wish someone guided me better in the past. I love writing about -How Expressive Writing and poetry therapy can be our self-care. I want to be a wayshower - How through writing we can know thyself. How do I know people are looking for these services? My dream is to write for magazines. My main goal is through writing I want to bring evolution in people's mind, body and soul. I want to show people how through writing they can bring calmness in their emotional rollercoaster ride. Do you have any guidance for that? What steps or in which direction I should walk in?
Hi Everyone. I always wanted to write, but was afraid who will read or care. Since I got into Cole’s world I quickly realized I got it all wrong, that is my biggest takeaway. Writing can be everything: fun, fulfilling, profitable or far more. Thank you for that and to be honest and so different than others. 🙏😀
My favorite part is that we get paid to learn, write, teach and more. It's quite satisfying if you're a lifelong learner and want to exercise your creativity muscle. I would like to have a Ghostwriting agency aimed at solopreneurs. I would like to join PGA to find my first well paid clients.
Sick video I want to target great traders , whether that quants or those who use data science (i love data science use your free content to write about it on X) and help them with exposure. i took away focus on becoming a Business Consultant first, to get better clients. Value Value and sell implementation. Something i struggle with doing I want to join PGA your content is a testament and evidence of your skill man. And I dont know what i am missing.
Biggest takeaways from the video: You don't have to be a complete expert on the field - you're there to turn your clients wisdom into amazing pieces of content that converts.
There is no part of the email course l'd taken earlier, and this video that I did not find useful. While we are often told not to count our chickens before they are hatched, I could already envision myself joining the PGA. I have not wanted many other things more and I hope my desire to be a part of the success story of PGA and to someday pay forward your generosity in giving a chance to someone to join for free, would stand me a good chance of being picked.
My biggest takeaways from this video are that with Ghostwriter, we can get paid to: 1. Learn 2. Practice our craft 3. Build our network 4. Stay ahead of trends 5. Experience different perspectives 6. Write about subjects we're passionate about I want to join the PGA to become a Premium Ghostwriter and earn $10k per month.
This video is pure Gold🎯 I've been thinking about this for a while now. Is Ghost writing a good option if you come from a diverse background? For instance, your studied finance but you've worked in tech and acquired core skills. Does this give you any kind of leverage as a Ghostwriting?
An insane amount of leverage, yes. You have what I like to call an "Information Advantage," which means your ability to write about those skills or industries for those specific clients is going to be worth a ton to them-because it'll be hard for them to find some random freelance writer who can "speak" that language like you can.
Takeaway : Most freelance writers are reactive to client's RFP/demands which puts you into a commodity category. But a premium ghostwriter is one who frames the problem that the clients have not seen and provides solution to the problem in a differentiated way thus becoming a valued business consultant (who happens to be a writer). Why I want to join PGA : A community is as valuable as the people in it. Where most writers are focused so much on writing, they rather miss out on the most important aspect which is thinking. And this is where I can add value to the community as I understand positioning, messaging, copywriting, narrative strategy etc. which I believe is more vital than writing. Thinking comes first. Writing comes later. Last but not the least, I would like to become the most successful case study from the group, ever.
My current goals as a Premium Ghost Writer: Add 5 PGW customers and transform my business by Q4 THIS YEAR. My biggest takeaway from the video: Anything for anyone is bad in the long run (guilty) and, service niche-ing by solving a specific problem for a specific person in a specific way. Brilliant! Why I want to join PGA: I want to help more clients and add +$25k to my MRR by the end of 2024.
I want to join PGA because it’s the opportunity of a lifetime to get in-depth knowledge and practical skills on something that: A-is not taught everywhere B-can level up your creative career C-is a huge leverage opportunity I know this community and academy is only getting much bigger from here!
The biggest mistake writers make is saying they can do anything for anyone, leading to undervaluing their work and services. The key to making money as a writer is to solve one specific problem for one specific person in one specific way, creating a premium offer that positions you as a trusted consultant rather than just a writer. Your unique way of solving the one problem for the one person is the key.

@sdc1235w PGA = Premium Ghostwriting Academy
Thank you so much for all this content Cole!
You inspired me to start Online Writing. I read your book, The Art and Business of Online Writing, and started answering questions in Quora last January. I published an article a day, then transferred to Twitter last February.
Now, I have 500+ followers in Twitter, offering ghostwriting services (with the help of your new book, the a&b of ghoswriting).
You actually just quoted my thread yesterday. The one featuring the 5 archetype ghostwriting voices. Really grateful for that!
Love your content bro! Keep inspiring :D
That was a great thread! Nice work curating those insights. Do you have any interest in joining us in PGA & scaling your ghostwriting services? premiumghostwritingacademy.com
just signed up now!
I just found your thread on twitter and it was 🔥- great work and solid curation as I had read the original from Cole first. Thanks for setting such a great example Nathaneal! 🚀🤩
I'm in!
My biggest takeaway from the video is - give free information to client - and charge for implementation. Never heard this advice! great one.
Biggest take away from the video - You’re not just a writer but a business consultant solving problems with writing. Secondly, It’s important to niche down and specialise rather than writing across different niches.
Thank you so much for this much needed explanation Nicolas, to the people entering this world of finding a ghostwriter! It can be tough and there are some shady people out there. I was lucky to have my book written and published through a Houston Based company Writers Of The West and that saved me a great amount of time and hassle!
My biggest takeaway from the video is - give free information to client - and charge for implementation. Never heard this advice! great one.
My biggest takeaway from the video is
being specific on who you target (Made me wonder on the clients I should target) video was informative and thank you Nicolas for always bringing your best to help us get better.
Awesome. I love how you simplify everything when everyone else is trying to overcomplicate. My current goal is to get to $15k a month as a ghostwriter.
My reflection on the video:
• Ghostwriting is a profitable career path and side hustle that offers benefits beyond monetary compensation.
• To get started as a ghostwriter, it is crucial to position yourself as a premium professional and avoid calling yourself a freelance writer.
• Develop a premium offer by focusing on solving a specific problem in a particular person in a specific way.
• Conduct premium outreach by identifying potential clients and educating them about their problems and your solutions.
• Make the 10X choice by setting high standards and charging premium rates that reflect the value you provide.
Thanks for this actionable advice!
Making exceptional content is my priority as a premium ghostwriter by captivating storytelling. and explore other things like EEC inside the academy.
My biggest current goal as a premium ghostwriter is to create content and learn different unique voices of my clients but also how to write engaging content.
Nicolas dropping some major bombshells.
My fav takeaway: Creating high-quality samples tailored to specific niches demonstrates writing and messaging skills to clients.
This is critical for attracting first clients and getting good rates.
Ghostwriting for the win! 🥳
My goal is to create my first EEC, and get a client in my niche and focus on over-delivering and exceeding expectations , to build long term relationship with the clients. like win-win situation.
As a premium ghostwriter my goals is to get my first client. Once I do that I guess my perspective on how to make money and get clients will change and hope it will change my life also…
excited to get inside PGA.
As cole says earning as a writer is a easy as he has done it multiple times. So as a writer I want to do the same, and get a seat in the PGA and make a living through solely ghostwriting and as a ghostwriter deliver results to clients..
Takeaway:
Not writing anything for anyone, and rather being specific and solving 1 problem, 1 person and 1 specific way.
I figured out my 1-1-1. I'm targeting health oriented youtube creators to sell their projects using EEC, but how do I make EEC?
why I want to join PGA
Lately I've been seeing ghostwriting booming and everybody saying it's lucrative job and seeing this video. Like is this for real 5k $ per client. It doesn't seem real. But I'm hyped up now.
Excited to learn.
eager to join the PGA to learn the methods for attracting clients and over-delievvering them as much as possible, also learn how to make sales script, cold and warm outreach.
My current goals as a Premium Ghostwriter:
I discovered ghostwriting watching cole and ali abdaal's podcast. Then I joined PGA (Free Version). currently I'm 3 months in this ghostwriting niche. Posting out content and outreaching clients. Yet no clients, till now.
I'm targeting Self-Improvement RUclipsrs to write for them on X (Twitter) and LinkedIn.
So my current goal as a premium ghostwriter is to taste my first 5-6k $ / m.
Current goals as a Premium Ghostwriter:
1. My goal as a Premium Ghostwriter is to target Course Creators and help them develop a specific Content Style.
Be that through humour, idiosyncrasies, their unique local vocabulary, or different writing styles, i.e., terse or long-winded or even poems. Any specific style/content that helps them stick out.
Many course creators copy the teaching styles of other creators like The Hormozis or Justin Welsh and start doing actionable tips and nothing else. But they can easily add a specific content style and immediately stand out.
That’s the gap I think that I can help them fill.
P.S. I’ve noticed that even you’ve newly added more humour in your recent videos, it’s working.
Biggest takeaways from the video:
2. The biggest reminder through this video for me is to focus on becoming a Business Consultant first, to get better clients. It reminds me of how important it is to create a content library in a specific niche. Only then will that library serve me as my Consultancy Playbook (which I can reuse unlimited times).
Wanting to join PGA:
3. I want to join PGA for several reasons:
• I feel like my offer is failing because of some gap that I can’t recognize. I can’t understand how to frame it so that course creators can see the monetizable value.
• I have tried cold emailing, and it has been hard. I can’t understand how to reach out to more people and keep working simultaneously.
• I want to create EECs, but I can’t find any other online resource to guide me in making them.
Please select me, Cole!
Wasted my last year finding the right path and I finally found you.
I am reading and watching all the modules of Ghostwriters Anonymous.
I am excited!
This is a really fantastic distillation and I found it extremely helpful - even though I’ve already taken your FSW and Ship30 courses!
My goals are currently to: develop and run my Piano Liberation Workshop course, to learn-by-doing all the components such as landing page, email sequence (both done!) - then deploy that expertise (and template, where applicable) towards ghostwriting for others.
The biggest takeaway for me from this vid was the differentiation between writing and being a marketing consultant who happens to be a professional writer.
I am an aspiring ghostwriter looking forward to writing tweets and threads for clients and improving my writing skills over time.And hoping to earn money along this process.
My takeaway from the vid;
- My biggest current goal as a premium ghostwriter is to create content and learn different unique voices of my clients but also how to write engaging content.
- Making exceptional content is my priority as a premium ghostwriter by captivating storytelling. and explore other things like EEC inside the academy.
- In my goal as a premium ghostwriter, is to know how to make sales pitch and close the client in the “Sales call” and know more about cold and warm outreach.
My takeaway from this video:
"Never call yourself a Freelance writer"
I've been freelance writing for a 6 months now and I now I realize how "powerful" it makes a writer by just not calling himself a freelance writer.
This was the most valuable point among all for me.
Yet another highly valuable video!
My goals as a ghostwriter are exactly what you laid out in this video:
• Learn more about my interest(s)
• Improving my writing skills through practice
• Genuinely help people improve their business
All while getting paid more than enough to make a comfortable living.
Your expertise is apparent and I'd love to learn from you in PGA to get the coaching, tools and resources I need to better serve my clients.
Thanks for consistently posting valuable content that inspires hope by offering new ways of approaching writing for a living. Eventually I'd love to be able to pay it forward!
There are so many gems! My greatest takeaways are how ghostwriting opens up an exciting avenue for aspiring writers like myself to use our skills to help others tell their stories and ideas. It's not just about writing for someone else; it's about forging new career paths, building valuable connections, and even earning substantial income along the way. It unlocks a whole new world of possibilities!
I used to think that I would never be able to become a writer buy Cole has convinced that that I can not only become a writer but a high quality premium ghostwriter. Thank you so much Cole.
My biggest takeaway from this video is that you can't just sit around and wait for the ideal client to find you. You have to go out there and find your ideal client. And when you find that ideal client, give them what they need-a free consultation. Show your ideal client one important problem that they have (that they may not even be aware of) and how you can provide them with a valuable service that improves their problem, thereby enhancing their business, marketing content, etc. It's almost a no-brainer to hire you then. And if they don't hire you at that moment-well, who knows what the future may hold. Guaranteed you left a lasting impression, and they'll knock on your door in the future.
As a premium ghostwriter, my current goal is to learn and hone my craft of writing, constantly seeking to improve and refine my skills.
The emphasis on premium positioning and the innovative approach of free consulting particularly struck a chord with me, shedding light on new paths for growth and impact.
The opportunity to join the PGA would be an invaluable step in my journey, offering the mentorship and community I need to transform my passion for writing into a rewarding and successful career.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and for the chance to be part of this transformative experience.
Hi Cole. Thanks for all the value you share with us all for free.
Here's why I want to join PGA.
I've been a freelance writer for about 4 yrs now and to be honest, the burn out is real. Moreso, I've struggled to hit my dream income goals. So when I discovered you and learned about premium ghostwriting, I knew instantly that this is exactly what I need to do. I've already started. Rebranded myself as an EEC ghostwriter for business coaches.
I'm currently creating an EEC for one coach which we're going to launch next month. My plan is to use that as a case study when pitching paying clients (which I'll start doing next month).
So by joining PGA, I'll be able to polish my craft and my offer and learn from the GOAT himself (you Cole 😉) and therefore be able to grow my ghostwriting business and scale it faster.
So I'm really praying I get the FREE seat 🙏🙏🙏
My TAKEAWAY from the video: To command high rates as a writer, I need to not offer a commodity (writing any kind of content for anyone and labeling myself as a freelance writer) instead, a premium offer is what will attract the high-tier clients... specifically solving 1 problem for 1 type of person in 1 way.
Good luck with your EEC launch next month! 🥰🚀
@@JaniceGreerInternational Thanks 🤗
You have made me understand over and again that freelancing is not the route. Building a Ghostwriting business is, whether you want to build an agency or not.
This idea alone has made me carry this consciousness that I'm a business owner not a freelance writer.
I would love to join PGA to Learn the practical steps i can use to build more credibility as a ghostwriter. Especially with offering the service of EEC to my prospective clients. I'm building my personal brand on LinkedIn as a nonfiction book Ghostwriter and i just added EEC to it. I'm really passionate about Ghostwriting, and ever since i got to know about EEC from you, it's been an eye opener.
Absolutely thrilled to have this opportunity.Joining PGA would not only help me hone my skills but also learn how to effectively position myself in the market to attract high-paying clients.
What resonates most with me in this video was lesson no 1 about why we should never call ourselves freelancers. I'd put this on my LinkedIn page and after taking the 5 email PGA courses, I immediately went to yank it off.
The course about designing an email course, and educating prospective clients too, is pure gold.
There is no part of the email course I'd taken earlier, and this video that I did not find useful.
While we are often told not to count our chickens before they are hatched, I could already envision myself joining the PGA.
I have not wanted many other things more and I hope my desire to be a part of the success story of PGA and to someday pay forward your generosity in giving a chance to someone to join for free, would stand me a good chance of being picked.
Thanks Cole. Ghostwriting has always been my career trajectory in writing. You inspired me more to carry on.
Also, you make me feel confident I am on the right path.
Learnt about the 5 blueprints required to GoPro and nitch down in order to achieve the 10x choice status as a writer.
Thanks Cole for sharing the very insightful knowledge.
Am new to Ghostwriting anyway, it's great having this kind of knowledge pretty early.
Hey Nicolas!
1. My current goals are to land my fourth client and to deliver my second email course. Luckily, I'll overcome my beliefs so I can do so at a premium price.
2. My biggest takeaway from this vid is the fact that most "premium offers" out there have the initial 2 segments (problem and target industry) but lack the specific way that helps that person become more of a "category of one" (similar to how you talk about it on snow leopard).
How do you set goals for your first year of ghostwriting? There are so many unknowns. How big is my niche? What can I expect to earn? What can I charge? In the first instance, I'd like to be fully booked. That's goal No. 1. After that, to raise rates.
I have been working with former competitors, helping them how to replicate what I achieved with my e-commerce business. I build out their blogs and set up email sequences; I create landing pages and lead magnets. But it's a lot of work! The simplicity of your approach is what I find attractive. Productised services seem to be the way to go. Step 2 is definitely where I'm falling down. Joining the PGA would bring some much-needed clarity.
Such an insightful video, Cole!
My goal is to start and position myself as a Premium Ghostwriter, mainly in the aviation and travel tech industry.
The biggest takeaway from this video is that a Premium Ghostwriter is more of a business consultant rather than just a writer. That's also what makes them attractive for clients.
I want to join PGA to learn how to position myself as a Premium Ghostwriter and how to start on this journey to ensure that I can ditch my 9-5 and make a full-time income from ghostwriting.
I want to join pga is because i like and want to explore the field of content writing and make proove content writing as one of the main or core activity to be included
Incredible video!
I am eager to pivot into premium ghostwriting, your message struck a chord with me. My main goals are to embrace the digital nomad lifestyle fully and master the art of setting and getting premium rates for my work.
The segment on building a portfolio that shines and networking effectively was pure gold.
"Change your words, change your worth," is now my mantra.
I'm curious about the PGA and how it can further my aspirations.
Can’t wait to engage more and learn from your wisdom.
One again, love your sense of humor, especially when talking about Upwork. "Set up an account on Upwork" is the typical advice given from so-called freelance writers to people who want to write for a living. Sites like that probably kill the aspirations of talented writers.
My biggest takeaway was to get off the beaten path. Try these five proven steps and be a 5k a month ghostwriter. There's more advice than the five. These compliment your book on ghostwriting. It's the only worthwhile book in the topic rich with writing wisdom.
Of course, I'd love to be mentored by you in PGA, who wouldn't? It's a program that will definitely catapult someone's writing career. I write daily in my 9-5 and I've had a great run at it, but it's not a writer career. I'm learning from the Fullstack Writer program and it's provided great insight in addition to anonymous ghostwriter.
Either way, your content is liberating for people who want to write but get hung up on the self composed roadblocks that keep them from taking that first step.
Thank for sharing these lessons on writing.
Very clear and insightful as always.
My take away is that a ghostwriter needs to be a consultant. He identify problems the client does not know he has and solves them with a service.
That's my North star from now on !
Thanks!
Biggest takeaway - focus on becoming a valuable business consultant while improving my writing and messaging skills.
Why I need to join PGA - to get to know a boatload of interesting people and learn from all of them, to get better at writing and to be more effective and efficient in building my business.
Thank you for sharing this Nicolas! We as ghostwriters sometimes tend to sell ourselves short and that could lead to not being taken seriously in this line of work. I was like that too until I joined my current ghostwriting agency Writers Of The West. I was fortunate enough to learn from the founder himself and have never looked back since then!
Hey Cole, you had me at Hello...well, actually at 1:51 of the video when you said you get paid to learn, you get paid to practice your craft. As a pathological life-long learner currently undiagnosed under the DSM-V-TR, these attributes of Premium Ghostwriting create the perfect Venn diagram of Learn-Do-Love. I would love to join PGA for these reasons. 👻
Love this video, two major take aways:
1. A premium offer solves 1 problem for 1 type of person. When you only solve that one problem, you become the best choice for the person who has that problem.
2. The people who need ghostwriters don’t want to get someone off of Upwork. Because why would a business owner want a generalist if they could hire a specialist?
Love this.
My biggest take away was to avoid the trap of writing anything for everyone. Instead solve 1 problem, for 1 person, in 1 way.
This way you can become more efficient, and have more control over your service
👻
Man! I really really needed this advice. Thank you soooo much Cole.
- In my goal as a premium ghostwriter, is to know how to make sales pitch and close the client in the “Sales call” and know more about cold and warm outreach.
My dream is to write and have my own agency. I have two little ones, and being able to live my dream, create a business that allows for time and freedom to provide for them while helping others is a triple win. The PGA program looks fantastic and I’d love to learn from Cole 🙏
Thanks for the awesome video, Cole!
The biggest takeaways for me were:
1. A ghostwriter is paid (not just financially) in many ways that will enrich their life.
2. It's doable to become a ghostwriter.
3. Don't call yourself a freelance writer
4. Offer premium services to clients.
5. Get paid based on value, not on time
Great video! My goal is to become a full time ghostwriter so I can leave my current labor job that drains all my energy. My big take away from video is that your actually becoming a business consultant that has the skill of writing! Massive
love this. Key takeaways -focus on your niche, and concentrate on solving problems
Thanks for the tips! What resonates with me the most is the idea of calling myself a ghostwriter. That's a really interesting perspective. My goal is to transition into a career in writing. You make it sound so easy I really want to learn more.
My focus as a premium ghostwriter is on make content that goes viral as well as that reflects the unique voices of my clients and resonates with their audiences. The most important thing I want to learn is how to delight and retain clients as much as possible to avoid burn-out of outreaching and focus on making content pieces for them.
Hey Cole!
You're Absolutely right about never calling yourself a freelancer in any domain, not just writing, people hear freelancer, and they immediately perceive what you do as either free or almost free 😂
I want to switch from graphic design and get into digital writing, I'm excited as I actually plan to learn to ghostwrite for speakers, coaches and consultants in the self-improvement, self-actualization niches, I joined your free Skool group, and I'm looking forward to joining PGA as well, thank you for your service, Cole!
Thanks for the video Nicolas 🙂
I'm still new to PG but my goal is to make 2 or 3 clients at $3-5K/mth per project. I prefer monthly retention rather than a one time gig.
My biggest takeaways:
Always use the rule of one. Become a specialist because generalist will never paid as much.
Positiniong is everything, be a trustworthy consultant by solving the problem they never knew they have.
I believe PGA has what it takes to help me become that kind of Ghostwriter.
Thanks for the eye-opening video Nicolas 👍
Great video! I've been spinning my wheels, trying to get into ghostwriting and out of my day job. I hope to use this framework to build up enough side income so I can get into PGA and really accelerate my writing, earnings, and ability to help others succeed and grow.
-"Be the business consultant that can solve a client's problem with writing"
-Giving away consulting advice for free and monetising the implementation of such advice.
Those were my biggest lessons from this video. People love free stuff, and they'll love it more if it's actually genuine. Genuinely free stuff in turn builds trust. Trust is the greatest currency. A Ghostwriter who lives by these principles will never run out of clients!
Hey Cole,
A premium learning experience with premium people and premium earnings - that's the impression I'm getting from this video and PGA.
I haven't found any other job/service that offers this level of premium benefits. I'm truly eager and excited to join PGA.
Current goal as a ghostwriter is to know how to properly pitch clients and seal the deal, and new ways to outreach clients and not look like some salesly person.
My biggest takeaway from the video is how much these ghostwriter learn all at once. Damn, never taught it this way until cole put it. like
- Get paid to learn,
- Networking,
- Know about trends,
- Practice your craft,
- Experience different lives
Just wondering what’s inside the PGA
The biggest takeaway is to be very specific about who you work with because you're only hurting yourself in the end. Working for free in the beginning is a great way to build connections and help you hone your writing skills. I want to join the PGA to improve as a writer, and my goal as a ghostwriter is to work on my schedule, start living, stop surviving, and pursue a career in something I'm interested in.
Hey Nicolas !
so greatfull for all the content you share here
My goals as a ghostwriter is to gain the ability to do something that I love and enjoy and from anywhere in the world .
also I want to expend my network and knowledge with inspiring and sucssesfull individuals .
My biggest takeaway from the video is that you don't want to be just a writer .
you should also focus on developing yourself and becoming a consultant that implement their solutions via writing .
keep up the great videos and the value you spread out!
1. As a Premium Ghostwriter, my immediate goal is to secure my next $5000/month client in the next 4 weeks or less for my Twitter (X) Ghostwriting services.
2. And my biggest takeaways from the video are:
* Nicolas writing for Silicon Valley companies and C-Suite Executives just shows how everything is possible with consistent & quality work. I am inspired.
* I understood why ghostwriting is the best career path which allows me to get paid for learning, experiencing different lives, & developing different voices for variety of clients
* And the biggest takeaway was to not be "Freelance writer" but instead be "Specialized Threads Ghostwriter" & not help clients with anything & everything.
Summary: Be a niched premium Ghostwriter with a premium offer who helps people with value & expertise to seperate themselves from the 99% of boring old businesses
P.S: I want to join PGA to retire my parents. They have been working too long, this is a way to give them a break and my next best reason is to grow my audience on X to 1M while impacting clients through my services. What's best than Dickie & Cole providing their most profitable & scalable secrets of ghostwriting in PGA?
Why I want to join PGA: To have the opportunity to learn from the best! Especially in the technicalities. When I came across your 5 Day EEC, I knew I’d found a unique way to help educate and tell stories through writing. Both of which I find so fascinating and exciting! Eager to learn. Fingers crossed 🤞😃
My biggest takeaway from the video is not calling yourself a “freelance ghostwriter”, as cole said “Words Matter” and it helps to position yourself higher and your perceived value is higher in the eyes of the client, out of all this was my takeaway.
My biggest goal as a premium ghostwriter is to reach the $10k a month sweet spot and never stop from there. So, this Premium offer option is what mostly resonates with me. And THIS is why I want to join PGA.
Hey Cole!
Thank you so much for the video
My takeaway: Don't just be a writer. Be a business consultant that solves problems.
My current goals as a Premium Ghostwriter? Make my first $1 ghostwriting.
I’ve been going in circles for MONTHS.
FINALLY I’ve come across this video at random.
I’ve even been contemplating to sign out for a few weeks now (not that serious, I think most people reach this point at least once in their life).
So……I’m going to go and implement all of this.
And, IF THIS WORKS!
I’m joining the PGA, and I’m sending an extra 5k as a token of my appreciation (for LITERALLY saving my life).
If this doesn’t work in the next 40 days I’m probably gonna just sign out.
I've wanted to join this cohort for a while but just couldn't swing it financially. I've invested a lot of time creating an EEC but I'm not sure if it is good enough. I am always looking for clarity and optimization but The only option I have is to absorb what I can for free and hopefully, something sticks.
I love your content, Nicolas, and I have to say, to date, I've yet to consume anything of yours that was not helpful in some fashion. Kudos to you for all of your hard work and amazing accomplishments (including marriage).
If I were to be fortunate enough to be gifted entry into the program, it would be better than hitting Powerball. I want to evolve. Love this video. Best.
Why I want to join PGA?
Well, Cole! You are the person who taught us what ghostwriting really is.
I firmly believe you are the best mentor for those who want to kick the ghostwriting career and pitch to high ticket clients.
But for students like me, I'll not be able to buy this course until I earn some grands via copywriting.
Definitely, I'll come every day to this video for reminding me,
Hey Me. Put this video into my #1 playlist before go to anothers. 🎉
I currently have two main goals as a premium ghostwriter:
Firstly, I want to develop a system that allows me to get high-quality clients consistently and reliably and escape the feast and famine cycle.
Secondly, I aim to help people in the self-education space - be it course creators, coaches, or mentors. After completing my business management degree, I now understand the value of self-education over formal education and have a real drive to help people access self-education instead of going down the traditional route.
My biggest takeaway from the video is that I shouldn't be the kind of writer who offers any kind of service, and that it’s important to maintain a level power dynamic (by offering only one premium service that they NEED) with the client when dealing with them so that I don't end up being overworked and underpaid.
Thank you Cole.
My biggest takeaway from the video is the specific outreach strategy you suggest; Finding business owners in one specific niche and looking for ways you can help them.
(Are they trying to build an email list with a newsletter, or by offering a first time discount offer?)
If they are, you could approach them as a consultant offering a free consultation, effectively explaining that an educational email course for their prospects will have a much higher opt in rate than a Newsletter as education provides value and builds trust. They are more likely to get a higher sale value from prospects that appreciate their product or service rather than trying to snag a money off discount.
Through positioning yourself as a consultant that can provide solutions for the business, the business owner has a contact that can do more for the business than just write content.
As a ghostwriter / business consultant you can offer strategy and content; Educational Email Courses will increase their email lists, which will increase their customer base, which will increase their revenue.
And by using this educational outreach approach to find ghostwriting jobs, my reputation and skills will improve. So it's a win win .... and I have more chance of making an income from creating my premium offer of Educational Email Courses for my niche.
1. I am currently pitching Therapists for newsletter services through cold emails.
I aim to land 1 high ticket client (who can pay me 1000$ - 5000$+ a month) before April.
2. I want to join PGA to get a supportive community that will inspire me to keep going when I don't feel content with my progress.
I also want to learn further on how to write, automate and package EECs as a service. I believe PGA will help me achieve that.
3. My biggest takeaway from the video is having a premium offer. I wish I knew this thing 2 years ago when I started writing online.
Having an irreistible offer is what's going to set your part from other writers and help you close deals.
Thank you Cole, another great video!
My goals as a ghostwriter: After going through FSW and GWA I have a clear vision on my niche and the product I want to offer (educational email courses). So my goal is to get the knowledge and support to not only create and launch my EEC but also land my first 5k client.
PS: For some reason the sentence „consult for free and monetize the implementation“ clicked for me just now!😄
- Quasim
Cole I started reading your art & business of ghostwriting book and it's 🔥
How exactly do you create efficiencies to keep earning more while working less? Surely more clients means more writing and less time?
Not always :) Come join us! premiumghostwritingacademy.com
your videos are getting so 🔥🔥🔥!
Appreciate it!!
This is so powerful Cole.
I wish someone guided me better in the past.
I love writing about -How Expressive Writing and poetry therapy can be our self-care.
I want to be a wayshower - How through writing we can know thyself.
How do I know people are looking for these services?
My dream is to write for magazines.
My main goal is through writing I want to bring evolution in people's mind, body and soul.
I want to show people how through writing they can bring calmness in their emotional rollercoaster ride.
Do you have any guidance for that?
What steps or in which direction I should walk in?
hey Nicolas, what is best in your opinion for just begginer writer , copywriting or ghostwriting or else can i do practice both ? please reply
My biggest goal as a premium ghostwriter is to make 2-3k $ / m and quit my finance job that I’m currently doing for 3 years.
So first start calling you as a premium tag
Fantastic video with the 5-Step process that I want to follow. Thank you for all you do, Nicholas!
Hi Everyone. I always wanted to write, but was afraid who will read or care. Since I got into Cole’s world I quickly realized I got it all wrong, that is my biggest takeaway. Writing can be everything: fun, fulfilling, profitable or far more. Thank you for that and to be honest and so different than others. 🙏😀
Thanks for the framework and useful tips! Appreciate it... glad I caught this one:)
My favorite part is that we get paid to learn, write, teach and more. It's quite satisfying if you're a lifelong learner and want to exercise your creativity muscle.
I would like to have a Ghostwriting agency aimed at solopreneurs. I would like to join PGA to find my first well paid clients.
Sick video
I want to target great traders , whether that quants or those who use data science (i love data science use your free content to write about it on X) and help them with exposure.
i took away focus on becoming a Business Consultant first, to get better clients. Value Value and sell implementation. Something i struggle with doing
I want to join PGA your content is a testament and evidence of your skill man. And I dont know what i am missing.
My biggest takeaway from this video is how important it is to solve one specific problem, for one specific person, in one specific way
Hey Cole, my current goal as a Ghostwriter is to get my first retainer client.
Love your content! Can you & How would you use cold email for outreach?
Biggest takeaways from the video: You don't have to be a complete expert on the field - you're there to turn your clients wisdom into amazing pieces of content that converts.
There is no part of the email course l'd taken earlier, and this video that I did not find useful.
While we are often told not to count our chickens before they are hatched, I could already envision myself joining the PGA.
I have not wanted many other things more and I hope my desire to be a part of the success story of PGA and to someday pay forward your generosity in giving a chance to someone to join for free, would stand me a good chance of being picked.
My biggest takeaways from this video are that with Ghostwriter, we can get paid to:
1. Learn
2. Practice our craft
3. Build our network
4. Stay ahead of trends
5. Experience different perspectives
6. Write about subjects we're passionate about
I want to join the PGA to become a Premium Ghostwriter and earn $10k per month.
This video is pure Gold🎯 I've been thinking about this for a while now. Is Ghost writing a good option if you come from a diverse background? For instance, your studied finance but you've worked in tech and acquired core skills. Does this give you any kind of leverage as a Ghostwriting?
An insane amount of leverage, yes. You have what I like to call an "Information Advantage," which means your ability to write about those skills or industries for those specific clients is going to be worth a ton to them-because it'll be hard for them to find some random freelance writer who can "speak" that language like you can.
Takeaway : Most freelance writers are reactive to client's RFP/demands which puts you into a commodity category. But a premium ghostwriter is one who frames the problem that the clients have not seen and provides solution to the problem in a differentiated way thus becoming a valued business consultant (who happens to be a writer).
Why I want to join PGA : A community is as valuable as the people in it. Where most writers are focused so much on writing, they rather miss out on the most important aspect which is thinking. And this is where I can add value to the community as I understand positioning, messaging, copywriting, narrative strategy etc. which I believe is more vital than writing. Thinking comes first. Writing comes later. Last but not the least, I would like to become the most successful case study from the group, ever.
Very insightful and helpful. Thankyou Nicolas🙏
My current goals as a Premium Ghost Writer: Add 5 PGW customers and transform my business by Q4 THIS YEAR.
My biggest takeaway from the video: Anything for anyone is bad in the long run (guilty) and, service niche-ing by solving a specific problem for a specific person in a specific way. Brilliant!
Why I want to join PGA: I want to help more clients and add +$25k to my MRR by the end of 2024.
I want to join PGA because it’s the opportunity of a lifetime to get in-depth knowledge and practical skills on something that:
A-is not taught everywhere
B-can level up your creative career
C-is a huge leverage opportunity
I know this community and academy is only getting much bigger from here!
The biggest mistake writers make is saying they can do anything for anyone, leading to undervaluing their work and services.
The key to making money as a writer is to solve one specific problem for one specific person in one specific way, creating a premium offer that positions you as a trusted consultant rather than just a writer. Your unique way of solving the one problem for the one person is the key.
