When a neighbor asks what I do for a living, my wife has a good way of explaining it:

He writes stupid shit on the internet.

That sums it up nicely.

5 years ago, I had a couple thousand bucks to my name.

I desperately wanted to build up a business.

While I tried to figure out what that business would be, I spun up a parody account on Twitter to pass the time.

It ended up gaining 200,000+ followers.

Wait a minute, this is the business I should be running.

I began working with dozens of clients over the next couple of years.

And it all started with me simply posting dumb shit online.

Most of my real-life friends and family could not possibly understand how I actually made money doing this.

But I continued posting and writing, past the point of reason.

I figured that I have written something like 60,000 tweets over the past 5 years.

Somehow, I accidentally stumbled onto the business that helped me buy a house and make a good living.

But only after months and months of experimenting. There was no business plan or strategy.

Why am I writing this?

A couple weeks ago, I wrapped my full-time employment with Enduring Ventures.

I'll still be consulting with them, but I wanted to get back to doing what I do best:

Posting stupid shit on the internet.

If you don't know, my latest parody account is Chase Passive Income.

The account took off starting in January. Here are the analytics for the last year:

I'm going to keep writing for Chase.

And I'm going to keep writing about whatever interests me.

Why?

Over the last 5+ years of doing this, I've realized:

Less Structure = More Creative Work

All the writing I'm best known for was the result of unrestricted creativity and experimentation.

With that in mind, I'm entering a new stage of Solo Writers.

I'll keep working on the projects that interest me (both for clients and myself)

I encourage other writers to do the same if they want to produce great work.

I believe the art of 'ghostwriting' on social media is dying out.

It's becoming too easy to just tell AI what you want written. And audiences are rejecting canned, boring ideas obviously written by someone who's not in the trenches.

But there is still room for writers:

You need to dive into the projects you love working on.

You can still make money ghostwriting, but you need to work closely with the client. You need to understand their business well, and you need to be able to think like them.

There is still so much opportunity for writers.

But each writer, including myself, can only work on a few projects at a time and still deliver creative, compelling work.

So that's where you come in:

I want to have a few dozen of the best, most creative Solo Writers on the internet with me.

When I find a project that's outside my scope of expertise or interest, I want to pass it to a great writer.

If you're on this list and we haven't spoken before (or if it's been a while), reply with:

1. Who you are
2. Some of your writing
3. What you're looking to work on

I'll do my best to keep you in mind when I see new projects!

And if you're looking to hire me or another creative writer, reply to this email with what you're looking to do.

Thanks for reading.
