I had to share this conversation.
Taylin John Simmonds’s story is honestly one of the most inspiring I’ve heard and it’s practical for any aspiring writer out there.
He was a college teacher making $3K/month, teaching music production (not even writing!), feeling burned out and stuck.
Then a friend challenged him: tweet every day for a year. No plan. No strategy. Just show up.
I can totally relate to this. If you’ve followed along on my journey, you know that I also just showed up and started writing without any clear plan or vision. But I showed up. Again and again. And I’m so glad I did.

Fast forward 12 months:
Taylin is making $500K/year as a ghostwriter, traveling to 12 countries, and building a life he actually designed.
He talks about the exhausting first year working 40 hours at his teaching job and writing on nights and weekends. The moment he almost didn’t quit because he was too scared.
How AI has changed the ghostwriting business (and why he’s actually excited about it). Which platforms still work and which are dying. Why LinkedIn is his #1 recommendation if you want to make money fast.
For anyone thinking about becoming a copywriter, ghostwriter, or just making money with writing online, this is your roadmap. Real timeline. Real revenue. Real advice from someone who’s done it.
