Since 2023, I've made $500,000 ghostwriting for entrepreneurs.

But before that I spent 7 years slowly burning out in a low-paid journalism career. I was a news reporter running from courtrooms to crime scenes, political rallies, and mass protests.

It paid me enough to survive and not a penny more. So I barrel-rolled out of the profession with nothing but a vague idea that I'd write online.

The first six months were a struggle. Then I began landing high-paying clients from a laptop in my kitchen. Now I share how I became a well-paid ghostwriter working on my own terms, no commute (see ya later, 7am Piccadilly Line), from a ski resort in Norway.

In my newsletter, I go over exactly how I did it, including the Zero to $10k a Month Ghostwriting Blueprint I wish someone had handed me when I started.

How it actually happened

From the courtrooms to the mountains.

Chapter one

The newsroom

The UK Press Association and The Scottish Sun kept me busy for seven years. One week a murder trial, the next a royal engagement, the next a protest in the rain. At 25 it felt like the best job in the world.

Eventually I realised I'd never own anything. I was living month to month, finishing every one of them negative £1,000 into my overdraft. The pay topped out at a middling salary, and the irregular shifts were wrecking my health.

So I handed in my notice with no clients and no plan, except a sort of unwarranted belief I'd make it happen.

Chapter two

Publishing to crickets

My first posts on X and LinkedIn went out to an audience of nobody. I kept posting, mostly because I had no other plan to fall back on.

Then I found a marketing agency owner who had clients but couldn't write, and I filled that space. The first invoices were small, but they covered my base expenses and proved the whole idea worked.

I joined communities and wrote online every day, until one month the writing matched my old salary. That was the moment I knew this was REAL.

Chapter three

Norway, now

Eventually I picked up enough clients to move countries. To the most expensive, heavily taxed country on earth, no less. I packed up my flat, dog, and girlfriend, and drove north.

These days I go straight for founders who've already built and sold companies, and help them build their digital reputations. Half a million dollars booked so far, a few good hours a day, mountains out the window. (Still working on my Norwegian.)
