The day I made $9k in less than 16 hours...
and how you can too
In January 2024 I was dead broke, struggling to pay my rent.
In April 2024 I made $9k in less than 16 hours.
Here's how I made this happen (and how you can too):
Being completely broke, I did what everybody would do in this situation…(?)
I sold my instrument so I could afford a mentor.
I went all in with Ghostwriting.
No going back anymore. No Plan B.
In the first 30 days of having my mentor, I:
created tons of free Threads for people
gathered 7 testimonials
landed my first-ever paying client
HUGE!! But having only 1 paying client barely kept me over water.
So there was only one way to do this…
I needed to absolutely crush it for my first client.
So I put my soul into this project.
Result:
I got my first client, 1000 Followers on X and 500+ E-Mail Subscribers within 30 days.
Not bad right?
I posted a case study on the results I got for my client.
Shortly after People started reaching out to ME for work!! Can you believe it?
I didn’t need to do any outreach anymore.
I was blown away - finally, the hard work paid off.
And this is how accumulative value works:
You give give give and then you receive BIG.
3 prospects wanted to hear more about my services.
So, I sent them my calendly link, and they all scheduled the call for the same day.
The day came and I said to myself: “Today is the day. Today I will deliver.”
And what was my plan?
There’s a lot of talk about sales tactics, what to say, what not to say, blablabla…
But this is not me.
My plan was to be completely transparent and authentic.
Result?
I closed all 3 clients, and they all paid the same day - I made $9k that day.
How did this happen?
I provided value.
I overdelivered.
I was honest.
I was myself.
So don’t get it twisted - marketing and sales tactics are good and all.
But:
Doing great work and being authentic to who you are is what's most important.
So if you’re stressing now about how to make your next $ online, focus on:
Overdelivering for your audience and clients to get great case studies
Being authentic to who you are so you work with like-minded people
connecting with others to form relationships
I promise you if you do those 3 things you will succeed. There’s no other way.
I’m not special. I'm just dedicated.
I could. So can you.
And if you want to scale your Ghostwriting brand to $5k+/month in the next 90 days...
I’m hosting a Ghostwriting LIVE-Workshop on the 7th of July at 4pm GMT+2 time.

The offer template I use to land $3,500+/month clients.
How to craft a great Case Study so you get consistent inbound leads.
