How to Start and Sell a Paid Newsletter That Works

This episode features a clip from our Premium Ghostwriting Academy Hot Seat live session, where we break down how to launch a paid newsletter in a way that works.

Why Your Niche Isn’t The Problem (The Genius-Idiot Rollercoaster)


If you're struggling, thinking that your niche is too saturated or that competition is killing your client opportunities, this episode is for you. The problem isn’t anything your’e telling yourself. I walkthrough the “Genius-Idiot Rollercoaster” framework that so many of us entrepreneurs and creators seem to be chained to, riding on a never-ending loop. It's a cycle of self-doubt and overconfidence that most writers, freelancers, and business owners face when trying to grow their online presence and land clients. I break down why this game of emotional pingpong is inevitable—and share why quitting isn’t the answer, how to endure the up and down nature of business, and what soft skill you as a creator need to master. Whether you're building a ghostwriter, entrepreneur, or CEO, this insight will help you stay focused on what matters and remain level-headed through the highs and lows.

23 Jan 2025Do you think I like working this hard?00:08:36

Some brutally honest advice for writers.


~


Hey there!


My name is Nicolas Cole, and I have been writing on the Internet since 2007. 


Today, I run a portfolio of writing businesses that does over $5,000,000 in annual revenue. My books, products, programs, and platforms are what I wish I'd had at the beginning of my writing career—back when I was 23 years old, had just graduated college with a degree in Fiction Writing, and had no idea how to make money as a writer. 


My goal with this YouTube channel is to pass along everything I've learned (and am still learning) about digital writing, ghostwriting, self-publishing, and becoming a multi-millionaire digital writer with you. 


So, if you want to know how to turn your passion for writing into a lucrative career, and you're looking for a digital writing mentor, maybe I can help. Everything I share on this channel is from hard-learned lessons in the trenches. I've made every mistake out there. Hopefully, you pick up a golden nugget or two that helps you on your journey. (And if I earn your trust, I hope to see you in one of our programs!)


"Nobody makes a living as a writer."


I hate that cliché—and I've proved it's not true.


Keep practicing your art. Keep learning about the business.


And most importantly, keep writing.


Cole

These Writers broke their faulty beliefs & got RICH


In this episode, I share the key mindset shifts that helped our top ghostwriters in our Premium Ghostwriting Academy go from zero to earning tens of thousands per month. Drawing from their success stories, I break down eight faulty beliefs that keep writers stuck, such as thinking no one can afford their services or needing more clients to scale. I explain why charging more, niching down, and rethinking client volume can transform a writing career. If you're struggling with pricing, scaling your ghostwriting business, or getting unstuck, this episode will help you break limiting beliefs and get on the path to real financial success as a writer.

(10:33)  #7: “I need to build an audience.”
(12:21)  #8: “I can just figure this out on my own.”

Why Ghostwriters Make More $$$ Than Freelance Writers

Hey there!

My name is Nicolas Cole, and I have been writing on the Internet since 2007.

Today, I run a portfolio of writing businesses that does over $5,000,000 in annual revenue. My books, products, programs, and platforms are what I wish I'd had at the beginning of my writing career—back when I was 23 years old, had just graduated college with a degree in Fiction Writing, and had no idea how to make money as a writer.

My goal with this YouTube channel is to pass along everything I've learned (and am still learning) about digital writing, ghostwriting, self-publishing, and becoming a multi-millionaire digital writer with you.

So, if you want to know how to turn your passion for writing into a lucrative career, and you're looking for a digital writing mentor, maybe I can help. Everything I share on this channel is from hard-learned lessons in the trenches. I've made every mistake out there. Hopefully, you pick up a golden nugget or two that helps you on your journey. (And if I earn your trust, I hope to see you in one of our programs!)

"Nobody makes a living as a writer."

I hate that cliché—and I've proved it's not true.

Keep practicing your art. Keep learning about the business.

And most importantly, keep writing.

Cole

Why Follow-Ups Are Actually An Act of Kindness

This episode is an excerpt from our Premium Ghostwriting Academy Hot Seat live session, where we discuss why follow-ups are more than just a sales tactic—they’re a way to help clients make decisions.

16 Jul 202410 Lessons from Selling $10M of Digital Products00:43:21

👻 Become a Premium Ghostwriter: https://premiumghostwritingbluepri...

Ghostwriting - most profitable skill of 2024.

Hey there!

My name is Nicolas Cole, and I have been writing on the Internet since 2007.

Today, I run a portfolio of writing businesses that does over $5,000,000 in annual revenue. My books, products, programs, and platforms are what I wish I'd had at the beginning of my writing career—back when I was 23 years old, had just graduated college with a degree in Fiction Writing, and had no idea how to make money as a writer.

My goal with this YouTube channel is to pass along everything I've learned (and am still learning) about digital writing, ghostwriting, self-publishing, and becoming a multi-millionaire digital writer with you.

So, if you want to know how to turn your passion for writing into a lucrative career, and you're looking for a digital writing mentor, maybe I can help. Everything I share on this channel is from hard-learned lessons in the trenches. I've made every mistake out there. Hopefully, you pick up a golden nugget or two that helps you on your journey. (And if I earn your trust, I hope to see you in one of our programs!)

"Nobody makes a living as a writer."

I hate that cliché—and I've proved it's not true.

Keep practicing your art. Keep learning about the business.

And most importantly, keep writing.

In this keynote from our ghostwriting mastermind event, I break down my key strategy, the *Organic Content Vortex,* and how to use it to create a $100K ghostwriting offer. Most ghostwriters struggle with scaling because they either serve *one service to many clients* or *many services to a few high-value clients*. I dive into the strategy behind becoming a *linchpin* in a client’s business, building offers that naturally *lead to higher retainers*, and leveraging *organic content funnels* to keep prospects engaged until they convert. If you're a ghostwriter looking to scale beyond $10K/month and land premium clients, this is for you.

🔹 How to transition from $10K to $50K to $100K offers

👻 Become a Premium Ghostwriter: https://premiumghostwritingblueprint.com/?el=CWC#2PD&htrafficsource=podcast_organic

How To Build A $200k/Year Paid Newsletter

Today on Coffee With Cole, I share the proven strategies I've learned creating a successful paid newsletter that has generated more than $200,000 annually. In this video, I discuss key differences between free and paid newsletters, essential for monetization. I reveal insights from growing two paid newsletters to multiple six figures, emphasizing the importance of product-focused content. Discover how platforms like Substack revolutionized this business model and explore effective pricing strategies to sustain subscriber engagement and revenue growth.

Hey there!

My name is Nicolas Cole, and I have been writing on the Internet since 2007.

Today, I run a portfolio of writing businesses that does over $5,000,000 in annual revenue. My books, products, programs, and platforms are what I wish I'd had at the beginning of my writing career—back when I was 23 years old, had just graduated college with a degree in Fiction Writing, and had no idea how to make money as a writer.

My goal with this YouTube channel is to pass along everything I've learned (and am still learning) about digital writing, ghostwriting, self-publishing, and becoming a multi-millionaire digital writer with you.

So, if you want to know how to turn your passion for writing into a lucrative career, and you're looking for a digital writing mentor, maybe I can help. Everything I share on this channel is from hard-learned lessons in the trenches. I've made every mistake out there. Hopefully, you pick up a golden nugget or two that helps you on your journey. (And if I earn your trust, I hope to see you in one of our programs!)

"Nobody makes a living as a writer."

I hate that cliché—and I've proved it's not true.

Keep practicing your art. Keep learning about the business.

And most importantly, keep writing.

Cole
