$300K in 2 Years From His Ghostwriting Biz

James Nuveen’s Twitter bio…

I quit my job, started and grew a $300k ghostwriting biz, & moved to Colombia 🇨🇴

James reveals on his website that he earned $999 in his first month running his own business, then $12,810 his second month 🤑

A big part of his success was building up a network before he really needed it…

When I started my company, I had mentors, other entrepreneurs and potential clients to rely on once I quit my job. I cannot understate how HUGE that was.

I recommend before you quit [your job], spend your 6-month runway building relationships with people who will ride alongside you, giving you advice and even paying you for your services.

How do you build those relationships? 🤔

I don’t mean going to those weird events where everyone has an ulterior motive and you have to wear nametags. No.

I mean reaching out to people online, asking how you can help them, sharing with them your story, showing you care, meeting up in person to share quality time together.

It took James some time to figure out which service to offer…

There’s a difference between what people need and what they’re willing to pay big money for.

Do not build a service that people are willing to pay only 25¢ a month for.

I went from trading super generalized “digital marketing services” for $500 per “project” (what does that even mean? 🤣) …

To trading 4 SEO-optimized articles repurposed for social media, video scripts and an email newsletter for $2500 per month.

Note the difference between those two service descriptions. The first is so vague that it’s hard for clients to imagine the result. The second is super-specific and makes it obvious what the outcome will be.

Check the description of your own product or service. How do you describe it on your website or in person? 🧐

Is it obvious to a customer or client what the outcome will be?
