Writing is the most powerful tool to make money online. Sadly, most people have no idea how or where to start.

\
Here's my simple 12-step process I use to make $5,000 every month (you can have it for free)

\
**What you'll learn in this thread**:

• How to build an online audience
• How to write content that spreads
• How to convert readers into subscribers
• How to leverage your content into income
• How to syndicate your content across platforms

\
Let's go!


1. **Identify your niche**

As a creator, you need to create for an audience. Think about:

• What you like
• What is profitable
• What is already popular

The intersection can be your niche.

2\. **Monopolize your niche**

Position yourself as a "creator of one"

To do that, fill out the "Creator Statement"

3. **Distill the Creator Statement** And use it for your profile. Make sure you still address:

   • WHO this profile is for
   • WHAT this profile is about
   • WHY the reader should care

4. **Test new content**

Use Twitter to test niche content.

Post:

• 2-3 posts a day
• For 30 days
• Track data

Create an archive of content that "hits"

5. **"Borrow" your initial audience.** Use other people's audiences to attract a following:

• Help their audience with questions
• Publish value-added comments
• Be the first to add a comment

6\. **Repurpose content into threads**

Take your winning:

• Comments
• Tweets

And repurpose into threads. Use:

• Twemex
• Blackmagic
• Tweethunter

7. **Convert threads → articles**

Take your threads and repurpose them into Medium articles.

• Add more body content
• Turn on monetization
• Pitch to publications

Make slight changes on the new platform:

8. **Turn on monetization.** Your first taste of income...

Once you get 100 followers on Medium – turn on monetization.

Repurpose every thread into an article and start earning:

\

9. **Add opt-in "plugs"**

Every piece of content should invite a subscription.

Use:

• Promos
• Auto-plugs
• Newsletters
• Article Footers

\
To convert readers into subscribers

\

10. **Survey list for products**

Now that you have a list, use your newsletter to:

• Pitch how you can offer value
• Ask about their problems
• Survey their interests

Listen for signals and track responses.

11. **Create a welcome sequence**

This is where you make the "real" money.

Use:

• Psychology
• Storytelling
• Urgency

To create a sales sequence that coverts subscribers → customers: <https://twitter.com/jonbrosio/status/1567875436624986114>

\
 12. **Message large accounts for 10X leverage.** Now that you have momentum, get larger accounts advocating for you.

• Make them feel good
• Showcase your leverage
• Provide a quick, actionable ask

If they don't get back to you – don't take it personally. Now you can try all of this on your own and struggle to attract an audience. Or you can spend 4 weeks learning to leverage psychology and 3X your way to your first 10,000 followers.

\
And that's it!
