Give Me 4 Minutes, I’ll Improve Your Writing Skill By 178%

The only 4 things you need to do to become a good writer.

If you want to make a lot of money.

Get good at writing. Period.

Not just good — extremely good.

But how?

That’s what this article is all about.

Today, I’m gonna share with you the only 4 things you need to do to become an amazing writer and start earning money online.

These are the 4 things I did to improve my writing skills and make money online.

Let’s begin.

1) Write

You can’t become a great swimmer without ever jumping into the water.

You can’t become a great pianist without ever touching the keyboard.

You can’t become a great football player without ever kicking the ball.

It’s the same with writing.

You can’t become a great writer without ever writing.

The first step in mastering any skill is to first do that thing every single day.

Yes, the pieces you write at the beginning are gonna suck.

And it’s something everyone needs to go through.

As you write every day, your writing will start to suck less.

At one point, it will no longer suck at all.

So, learn to embrace the suck and keep going.

2) Study

Now, it’s time to study top writers.

Pick 3 writers you love reading and like to replicate.

My picks are:

1. James Clear.
2. Tim Ferries.
3. Naval.

And start reading their books, articles, and blogs.

Here is an amazing exercise:

Write a few pages of their book word-for-word by hand every day for 1 hour. Do this for 30 days.

I learned this trick from the greatest copywriter of all time — Gary Halbert from his book the Boron Letters.

And it really improved my writing.

When you do this, you’ll start to internalize their writing style.

You’ll start to understand their thinking process.

But you don’t notice all these in a few days.

You need to do this consistently (it is a compounding effect) to know how your favorite writer thinks.

You’ll also understand the frameworks they are using to write. Which you can then use in your writing.

This exercise subconsciously trains you and helps you write at least a little bit like them.

Try it.

3) Learn (in parts)

When it comes to writing online.

You can divide your content into parts.

Headline.
Subheadline.
Hook.
Content.

You should get good at each of them one by one.

Imagine you’re seeing a girl, and you immediately think she is SO attractive.

It’s because of all the pieces. Her hair is good. Her skin is good. Her dress is good. All these combined make her look attractive.

That’s the same with writing.

When you write a good headline, a good subheadline, a good hook, and a good content. You’re content will do well. No doubt.

How do you get good at these things?

Let’s start with headlines.

Every day, spend 10 minutes reading and studying top-performing headlines on Medium and YouTube.

By top performing, I mean articles with at least 1k claps and videos with at least 500k views.

Again, if you do this consistently for the next 30 days, you’ll start to notice a pattern.

You’ll start to understand the game of grabbing attention with headlines.

For hooks, you can do the same exercise I recommended earlier.

Handwrite top-performing hooks.

Find top-performing Medium articles and handwrite the first 3–4 sentences.

For YouTube. You can write down the first 30 seconds of the video. (You can find the transcript of the video in the description.)

Then you can study it.

Again, consistency is the key here.

4) Read

Reading is input.

Writing is output.

Don’t just read one type of book.

Read boardly.

Read fiction, novels, magazines, nonfiction, etc.

If you read broadly, your writing will feel unique.

And people love uniqueness.

Reading helps you write better, both consciously and subconsciously.

The more you read…

You’ll start to use words you never used before.

You’ll start to construct amazing sentences.

You’ll start to convey your ideas in a more precise way.

You’ll be able to quickly come up with analogies, stories, examples, and quotes to support your ideas.

There are plenty of benefits in reading every single day — so read.

That’s it.

Hope it was helpful.
