How To Write: From The Grandfather of Advertising
David Ogilvy is known as the father of advertising because his writing, and the writing he taught to his employees, was that good. It was able to turn readers into fans and customers and it earned him a title that’s stuck with him for over 50 years (he’s still infamous in the writing space despite having passed in 1999).

We love to see writers taking ownership over asking for help when it comes to turning their writing into a career.
That ownership comes in three forms:
Writing online at least 3x a week to get better at your craft
Reading articles and books to help you learn how to write better
Investing in mentors and coaches who can help you monetize your writing faster
We can help you take your writing from “I’m hitting publish but I’m not getting paid,” to “I’m hitting publish and making 4-figures per month from my writing.”
