Want to start a Well-Paid Writer business

  • in as little as 2 weeks

  • from zero to first sale

  • without you having to be on video, talk, or outsource anything

... so you can make a living from your writing?

That was my dream back in 2011. I had a good but boring job, but I dreamed of creativity, freedom, being my own boss, and shaping my own destiny.

I had wanted to be a writer ever since fourth grade, when our teacher had us write and bind our own books in class. That kid-level book was 100% real to me. It gave me a taste of possibilities. I knew that was what I wanted to do with my life. Throughout junior high and high school, one of my favorite hobbies was writing, and I did it a lot.

But as time went on, that dream started to seem impractical. I didn’t think I could really make a living by writing. So I made the “sensible” choice and studied computer science instead.

I wasn’t wrong. Until a few years ago, it was hard to make a living as a writer. But then everything changed.

The only options used to be getting a traditional publisher, or working for someone else. If you wanted to make good money, better go into advertising.

But now there are so many more possibilities. There’s freelancing. There’s Patreon and Substack. There’s self-publishing.

Best of all, there’s creating your own books and courses, and selling them from your website.

When you sell info-products like eBooks and online courses, the potential is infinite.

  • You’re selling information, so don’t have to manufacture, store, or ship anything. You don’t have to pay for any of that, and you don’t have to rent an office or hire staff, so startup costs are minimal.

  • It doesn’t cost any more to deliver 1,000 copies than it does to deliver 10, so unlike most businesses, there’s no awkward point where you’d need to invest in more equipment or staff to grow. You can just keep growing.

  • Delivery can be automated, so people can instantly receive their orders any time, day or night, without you having to be there to make it happen.

  • Once you create a book or course, you can keep selling it over and over. This is how you escape trading hours for dollars.

  • If someone likes one of your info-products, there’s a good chance they’ll buy more, so your products can help sell each other and multiply your income.

This is my dream life.

I don’t have a commute. I never go to meetings. I rarely do anything I don’t want to do. I hardly ever wear pants.

Instead, I spend most of my time creating. And, as an added bonus, the more I create, the better I get at it! It’s hard to tell what I like best:

  • Thriving on creativity and doing work I love every day

  • Getting better and better at what I do, so when I have a big vision for something really awesome, I also have the skill to actually fulfill that vision

  • The freedom to follow my inspirations and do whatever feels most sparkly, inspiring, and exciting

  • Knowing my work is making a difference for the people who buy it, and helping them achieve their dreams

  • Watching abundant money come in every day from work I did in the past—whether I’m sleeping, writing, or on vacation

But it goes beyond that. My business enables to be there for my loved ones.

When my love was diagnosed with cancer in 2012, I was able to go with him to all of his treatments, help him take care of his kids, and be there for him through it all. If I had still had my job, there's no way I would have been allowed that much time off.

If I had been stuck in an office, unable to be with him, I would have been climbing the walls. But instead, I could be where I needed to be. I was free to live based on MY values and priorities, not my boss’s.

When someone needs me, I can be there.

In fact, I have a trip coming up to spend a whole month with my parents. They’re not sick. There’s no emergency. I just want to spend time with them while they’re still here. And because of my business, I can do that.

And, because of my business, I can stay in my own space, so everyone will be comfortable and happy.

More money is great. More time is even better. More passion is best of all. And this business gives me all three.

I’m making more money now, working 20 hours a week on average, than I was making as a full-time PhD computer scientist. And I’m having a lot more fun.

I always said that, if I won the lottery, what I'd do is make arty books just for the pleasure of it, and not care if anyone bought them. There are two key elements to that dream: 1. unfettered creativity and inspiration, and 2. security.

But the lottery is just one path to get there, and not even a particularly gratifying one. Instead, I’ve achieved the same ends, but I did it with my own two hands, so it feels even better.

Do you want to build something like this for yourself?

If so, I’d love to help.

Let’s keep it real: this is a business. It does take work. But it’s not the same kind of work as at a job. There’s a big difference between doing what you’re told and doing what you love.

  • Launch in a Box Toolkit – my custom pre-built templates for creating and launching your info-products and courses, so even if you’re clueless about copywriting and terrible at tech, all you have to do is copy and paste

You can buy the training on its own, or you can get it free—along with all the pre-built templates to make it easy for you—when you sign up for Omnolia.

I’ll teach you to clone my business. We’ll skip the 8 years I spent figuring this out, and go right to doing what works.

I’ve been wanting to teach this ever since it started working for me. This is my dream life, and if it’s yours too, I want that for you, and I want it right now.

But until now, it was a lot harder.

  • I would have had to teach the tech, and I had no way of knowing what systems people might have. Now I can just GIVE you the system with everything you need prebuilt.

  • I would have had to teach a whole unit on video production. Now I can just point you to my favorite AI video-maker, which makes way better videos than I used to make, it’s ridiculously fast, and all you have to do is paste in the script. You can create a top-quality e-course without ever having to be on camera, create a single slide, record a minute of voice-over, or edit a second of footage.

  • It would have taken months to build your first e-course, but with the tools we have now, it can be done in a few weeks—and turn out BETTER!

A lot of skills go into a business like this, if you really want to make a difference and be a success. I’ve spent a lot of time developing those skills, discovering what works, and boiling it all down into a system.

If you know my work, you know one of my superpowers is boiling down what works into the 80/20, teaching the 20% that gives you 80% of the results, and skipping the rest. That’s great for small projects like launching a book, but for big projects like launching a business, it can literally save you years. In this program, I’m taking the past 13 years of knowledge and boiling it down into an 8-week intensive. Of course, you don’t have to do it that fast if you don’t want to.

You’ll get immediate access to everything as soon as you sign up, so you can go as fast or as slow as you want. Want to start making money with these strategies as soon as possible? Do like I always do and binge it! Need to keep this a side project and chip away at it over time? No problem. You’ll have access to all of the training and materials for as long as you’re a member of Omnolia, or lifetime access if you take the standalone option.

Here’s why this is a great deal.

Omnolia has a crazy-awesome set of capabilities. It’s like the Swiss Army Knife of business software. If you were to get separate tools for the same functionality, here’s some of what you’d need:

  • 800.com, $27

  • ConvertKit, MailChimp, $99

  • Intercom, $74

  • Calendly, $29

  • ClickFunnels, $297, or SamCart, $319

  • WordPress, Wix, $29

  • Typeform, Wufoo, $25

  • Hubspot, Keap, $169

  • Kajabi, Thinkific, $149

  • Manychat, $25

  • CallTrackingMetrics, $39

  • Hootsuite, $99

  • Skool, $99

Monthly total $1,160

Instead, with Omnolia, you’ll pay only $297/month at the premium level, and you won’t have to figure out how to get all those systems to talk to each other and work together. That’s a savings of $863/month plus all the aggravation and headaches of trying to wrangle things together with chicken wire and duct tape. (Ask me know I know!)

Not only that, in the Profit Multiplier E-Course Program, I'm going to teach you to build an e-course you can sell for $297 to $500. All you’d have to do is sell one copy of your course per month, and your software is paid for. And I don’t take a cut of your sales like Amazon does. Whether you sell $297 or $2,000,297, you pay me the same $297/month for the software.

Well, there is one exception. If you send more than 14,285 emails per month, you’ll also need to pay 7 cents per 100 emails beyond that initial 14,285 per month. Similarly for phone usage and SMS marketing, if you use those. But by the time you get to that point, you certainly won’t be worrying about 7 cents here or there.

The important thing is: I don’t take a cut of your sales. I’m happy to teach you the best of what I’ve learned over the past 13 years for three reasons. The most important is: I love helping people create the life of their dreams. This is the best life I can imagine, and if it’s your dream life, too, I want to help you achieve it. There’s nothing more gratifying than that.

Reason #2 is more selfish. I used to hate business and marketing and sales—all the things you have to do in order to make money from your craft. But now that I’ve gotten good at it, I find it so interesting and fun! I could talk about this stuff all day, and creating these programs has been a blast.

And finally, reason #3 is: If you do great and make a lot of money, you’ll keep using my software. When you win, I win!

If you want the well-paid writer lifestyle, I created this for you. Join now, and I’ll show you the best of everything I’ve learned, so you can make it happen.

Already know you want this?
