Course overview

Become 2x Better at Writing in 8 Days


Who I made this course for

The “growth” or “marketing” person at your company

02

Someone who wants to have a big loyal audience like I have built

03

CEOs or future execs who want to write like a boss

What we'll work on together

Cold emails that actually work

While most people don’t use them often, getting your cold email right can change everything.

Writing landing pages that convert

You can move around buttons and redesign your pages all you want but it's copy is the most effective attribute in getting more dollars out of the visitors on your site. 

The secret to going viral

If a tree falls down in a forest, nobody hears it. Same for your writing when you have no audience.

Pitching your brand without stumbling and fumbling

Ever been on an airplane where the person next to you asks what you do? We've all been there.

How to write amazing headlines

Great content only gets read if there’s a great headline. 

Writing like Jeff Bezos (what I learned at Amazon)

Jeff Bezos is widely known as one of the best CEOs of all-time and I just spent the past 2 years working on the Twitch executive team.

        Last week I completed Power Writing course with Shaan. Avalanche of insights, but what's even greater is the crew of ambitious folks who aspire to become better writers alongside you. Where else do you have Dharmesh Shah, CTO of Hubspot, in your cohort?

        My favorite session was called Pitching Your Brand Without Stumbling & Fumbling. Magic happened as Shaan worked in real-time with students to take a real-world pitch and tune it up. The real-time transformations were breathtaking.

        I taught Shaan everything he knows about writing. And you know what? He’s better than me now. He absorbed it all, put his brilliant own texture into it, and learned from 10 other amazing people - and it works. Super unique and effective. I now learn from him.

Learning is better with cohorts

Learning is better with cohorts

Active learning, not passive watching

I believe in learning by doing. If I tell you how to write, you’ll forget next week. So this course is structured as: “Do → Learn → Do”. You get a writing prompt. You try it (10 mins), then I show you how to do it, with examples and templates… then you do it again. Learn by doing!

Accountability and feedback

We will be “learning in public”, meaning you will be encouraged to share your “before & after” examples on social media.

"...You walk out of that hour already a better writer..."
