Oh sh*t...ghosts are real
You see ghosts every day…
You just don’t know it.
They take the form of:
8-figure founders
Best-selling authors
Even adult film stars
And many more…
How do I know?
Because I’ve been them (kinda).
I’m not saying I have a magic power to possess people’s bodies (although it’d be pretty interesting to be an adult film star).
I’m talking about a different type of ghost you encounter every day.
A ghostwriter.
And these “ghosts” may not be seen, but the money they make sure in the hell is real.
So, in this newsletter, I’m going to reveal:
1) What a ghostwriter is
2) Why people are paying ghostwriters $2,000 to $10,000+ a month to write a few posts a week
3) The future of ghostwriting and a hidden opportunity you can take advantage of
WTF Is a Ghostwriter?
A ghostwriter is someone who pretends to be another person on the internet.
But not some catfish on Tinder.
A ghostwriter takes over someone’s social media or newsletter and writes content under their name with the goal of either:
Increasing their followers
Making them money
Growing their email list
Ideally, doing all 3.
And clients will pay quality ghostwriters quality prices.
To show you what’s possible, here are some results of people I’ve coached in ghostwriting:


Now, you’re probably wondering…
Why in the f%*k are people paying thousands of dollars for a ghostwriter?
Lemme break it down for ya…
Why People Pay Ghostwriters Thousands of Dollars a Month
There are 2 reasons people pay ghostwriters thousands of dollars a month:
Reason 1:
Wealthy people already have money.
What they can’t buy is fame.
So, wealthy will pay thousands of dollars per month to ghostwriters to grow their influence online.
It’s also a big d*ck measuring competition between their wealthy friends.
Reason 2:
Money.
People who sell products and services have realized the power of social media and newsletters.
People like Gary V, Alex Hormozi, Grant Cardone have all built huge empires online.
It’s why professions like:
Consulting
Fitness coaching
Marketing services
Have exploded in popularity online.
By growing a social media following, you’re not just increasing the amount of attention on the stuff you’re selling, you’re also building trust.
Think about it, are you more likely to buy a product from a random person…
Or someone you know, like, and trust?
When you create content, you’re growing a trust-building asset for your client that can be turned into cash.
So if you, as a ghostwriter, make your client $10,000 in a month, are they going to be upset paying you $5,000?
Probably not.
Which means all these people need to capture attention online to get customers.
And who are they going to turn to if they don’t know how to get attention or don’t have the time to get attention?
Those who can capture eyeballs and monetize them with words (AKA ghostwriters).
The Future Of Ghostwriting (And The Hidden Opportunity)
*Cue my grandpa voice*
“Back in my day when I started ghostwriting, there were only 3-5 ghostwriters.”
But as more people have learned about it over the past 3 years, more have slapped the label of “Ghostwriter” in their bio.
…and most of these people only have 57 followers.
They can’t grow their own social media, let alone someone else’s.
And the same goes for writing newsletters.
It’s the equivalent of a fat personal trainer hitting you up asking if you want to lose weight.
So I don’t see ghostwriting getting saturated any time soon.
But I see a lucrative opportunity nobody is taking advantage of right now.
Becoming a Full-Stack Ghostwriter.
Sure, growing a social media following for a client is great.
But what if you could grow your client on multiple social medias?
What if you could turn those followers into email subscribers by writing a newsletter for your client?
What if you could turn those subscribers into customers by writing a sales page for your client?
Not only would you separate yourself from everyone else, you could charge 2x, 3x, or even 10x more.
Because the more money you make clients, the more they’re willing to pay.
Want To Become A Ghostwriter and Scale Your Personal Brand?
I’m opening up my Growth Ghost coaching program in early January.
In it, I’ll teach you how to become a Full-Stack Ghostwriter who can charge $2K-$5K+ a month for your services.
And although we already have an entire curriculum on how to grow on X (formerly Twitter) and everything you need to learn social media ghostwriting…
In this upcoming cohort, we’re going to focus on:
1) How to grow on LinkedIn (the best social media to grow on right now)
2) How to ghostwrite newsletters
So not only will you know how to grow on X and LinkedIn and offer it as a ghostwriting service…
You’ll also learn how to write newsletters and offer it as a ghostwriting service.
And the best part?
You’ll get access to a private community of people who are on the exact same journey as you.
And I’m so damn confident you’ll see results, I have a guarantee in place.
If you follow the action steps outlined in the program, I guarantee you will make $10,000 in 6 months.
But to ensure we can provide the time and attention needed for our members, we are limiting the cohort to 100 spots.
And no this isn’t a fake scarcity gimmick like I’ve seen other programs use.
Once these spots are filled, we are closing enrollment.
(you can buy me all the pineapple pizza you want, but I will not open up spots if you missed your chance)
If this is something you’re interested in learning more about, click the button below to join the waitlist.
You will get early access to apply for the program when we open enrollment.
Much love and have a kickass day.
