Mark was a complete loser, and four months ago, he was also completely broke despite the fact that he was writing every day. Today, Mark makes 6 figures from his writing. What did Mark do? It's dead simple, and you can do it too! In this post, I'll walk you through the exact steps that made Mark go from loser to 6-figure solopreneur in only five months. And if it's not working, you must be doing something wrong. Just like poor Mark was.
I won't tag Mark, not because he's not proud of what he accomplished, but because he's afraid that if word about his 6-figure empire gets out, his cousins and family would come after his money. So, I am not tagging him. But I assure you - he exists! I wouldn't just make up Mark, because if I did, I surely wouldn't name him Mark, but probably Valerian, or Casius. But Mark, hey, it's such a common and relatable name - like, why would I make him up???
Anyways. Mark was just like you. He started his newsletter on Substack after a burnout at his corporate job. He posted mostly about his cat Sam and what he eats for breakfast, and sometimes he'd post about how much he hated his job.
And…crickets!
His posts would have 3 likes, until he did this, and you should follow these exact steps, and don't you dare do it even a tiny bit differently, because this is what worked for me—but I'm not important here, Mark is. Mark did EXACTLY this and grew from 3 likes to a 6-figure writing business in just six months. And if you don't do this, you are leaving money on the table. And when you leave money on the table, you are a moron because the table is no place to leave your money.
Ok, and here are the detailed steps which Mark followed, and you must follow them too. But it will work only if you stick to it strictly, or else it won't work, and that money will be on that table forever.
What Mark did:
He followed my exact step-by-step system, which you can get for $87, and that's the price with a HUGE discount because the real price out there on the imaginary market (but it's impossible to check) is $645, so yeah…I'm being generous here, and you are a moron if you miss this opportunity, and that money will still be on that table!
But I'm so freaking generous that I will still tell you how you can be just like Mark, and now I will reveal what no growth guru will ever tell you. I also analyzed a crazy amount of newsletters just like Mark’s, and they all had the exact same mistake - they were simply not generic enough! So, this is what you NEED to do if you really don't want to leave that money on that table. Now, pay attention!
Get a niche! And by niche, I don't mean lifestyle, or AI, or whatever sounds obvious. No, no. Those are all taken, and you have to be really, really, really specific if you don't want to leave that money on that table. A couple of really good ideas—feel free to steal them from me because I'm so generous:

Be consistent! Don't you dare not stick to your schedule, because bad things will happen if you do. You HAVE to post every week. Doesn't matter if you have ideas or not—just post AI bullshit if you have nothing. You just need to keep that engagement going, non-stop. Need a day break? Hey, no problem! Schedule just 5 notes for that day. Just don't leave your community hanging. They are hungry—all the time. They need your guidance 24/7 or else they'll be completely lost, and when that happens, you are leaving money on that table, dude.
Respond to at least five long posts a day, and at least 10 notes. Don't worry, you don't need to actually read five long posts. Just read the first and last sentence and comment like this: "I like this post because [reference to the first sentence], and I can really relate when you say [reference to the last sentence]." As for notes, just leave a couple of "keep going", or "you are the best", or "this resonates." Some might doubt you are a bot, but don't listen to them – you are just following the proven system that you should not question. And those who might doubt you are really human? They are probably idiots with 325 followers, posting about cats like Mark did, and leaving that money on that table.
I'm just realizing this post is way too long, and people won't read it because no one really reads these days – people just skim (but you’re good, because you don’t even need your people to read, you just need them to buy), and you should also adjust your posts to that. Also, break them into small paragraphs (one sentence, one paragraph) and do bullet points wherever you can squeeze them in, or else you are leaving money on the table. So, I'm just writing this here under no. 4 because I know people are crazy about bullet points.
And put something in the quote, because quotes sound particularly important.
I'm just gonna say that Mark followed these exact steps and now he's getting tens, if not hundreds, of subscribers a day. But he doesn't treat them as subscribers but as numbers, because people don't pay your rent, money does, and money is basically just numbers!
And Mark is doing really well. He left his corporate job to chase his writing dream. And that pays for his cat food and for his rent (yes, he still rents. You didn't think 6-figures would cover your basic ass human needs???). Sometimes he still writes about his cat and breakfast, but under a pseudonym. It's what truly makes him happy.
Wait, what?
Don't you want to be like Mark???! It's so easy, just apply these exact steps and stop leaving the damn money on the damn table!



I like this post because Mark was a complete loser, and four months ago, he was also completely broke despite the fact that he was writing every day, and I can really relate when you say It's so easy, just apply these exact steps and stop leaving the damn money on the damn table!
Ah yes, finally.. someone brave enough to say what absolutely nobody was thinking. 😉
