Anyone Can Build a $10k per Month Online Writing Business If They Do This One Thing
It's easy to do. But it's easy to avoid, too.
Hi, it’s Baz-
Most Substackers will never reach $10K a month in revenue. It’s not because they aren’t good writers, but because they only consider one revenue stream — paying subscribers.
Paying subscribers is only one revenue stream, and most get stuck in it—it’s also the most difficult revenue stream to succeed in.
It's mind-boggling, but…I’m not sure why writers develop such tunnel vision around revenue.
Most writers who start businesses or become creators ignore the most straightforward path to making money.
Talking to people.
Simple, right?
I've sold products and services ranging in price points from $3,000 to $25,000 with little to no objections just by being a human and talking to people.
And I never 'sell' to them.
If you want to achieve similar results, follow these steps.
1) The pain is in the pitch
I have an outline I use when talking to potential clients online and on discovery Zoom calls. I also teach how to use it in my program.
It has probing questions that have one aim:
Find the problem. Find the pain.
If you understand what they're going through and are confident you can solve the problem, positioning yourself as the solution is easy. But you NEVER start with a solution, as that's the kiss of death.
Instead of thinking of yourself as a 1) fellow business owner and 2) someone who identifies and solves problems.
Those two skills will help you make a lot of money.
2) Avoid the "Cold DM Bro" strategy
The 'Cold DM Bro' is the person who copies and pastes spam pitches about their services to everyone.
The Cold DM Bro is why so many people don't want to converse with others.
They don't want to get lumped into the category of the sleazy and lazy spammer.
There's an easy fix for this.
Talk ONLY to people who show interest.
That's what I do. I create content on Notes and social media and talk to those who engage with it, sharing information and solving problems via a free Zoom call—all without ever being pushy or aggressive.
3) Stick with it
If they follow directions and persist, I can get anyone who follows the Beyond The Subscription checklist to $2K-$5K a month in 3-6 months by:
Learning some content frameworks and posting
Engaging with people who like your content
Having conversations that lead to conversions
There's nuance to this, which I dive deep into when you work with me, but the steps required to win are...simple.
It's deceptively simple
I overcomplicated my online business for years, using funnels for this and funnels for that, but no more. Thanks to the BTS system, I no longer have to.
And I'm looking to pass the exact system to you.
Special Offer of the Week
I’m letting 6 people into 'Beyond The Subscription' this month, starting today.
Here's how it works:
Follow the directions at the end of the post.
After you're on board, we'll have a one-on-one call, during which I'll help you craft your offer and map out a game plan to get you taking an extra $2K —$5K home every month.
After that, you will join my online community, where we will work together weekly to help you hit your income goals.
We open in a few days...but...there’s a way to skip to the front of the line…
Do these two things to get more information:

The sooner you get the info, the more you’ll know about the BTS program.
