how i made £582 writing a simple story

Published about 2 months ago • 2 min read

I'm gonna be straight with you.

I've been unbelievably busy lately.

We're back in London for a month, because next Saturday we're getting married officially. We're living out of parents houses. We're seeing friends, hopping on tubes and trains for hours every day just to get across London (seriously yesterday it took me 1 hour and 45 minutes to get to my friend's house 13 miles away).

We've travelled hours across country to see my parents. We've had stag parties, hen parties. We've met wedding photographers, we've been suit shopping and a lot more.

ALL while serving my clients too.

And that's meant I've been slipping on dropping you with some spicy writing tips on this newsletter.

I apologise for that, Reader.

But something cool happened on Friday:

I wrote you an email called how to make friends with strangers.

It was about how I'm a closed off kinda guy, but when it comes to writing online I share a lot of my life because it allows me to build trust at scale, make friends and make more money.

(three pretty cool things if you ask me)

At the end of the story, I told the reader if they needed help writing stories, they can check out Poppin' Social Stories.

It's a recording of a private training session I hosted for my Copy Builders group.

Two people bought and both bought two additional training products, too.

That simple story made me £582.

This isn't anything ground breaking.

I know that.

But if this isn't proof that stories sell then I don't know what is.

And it's that reason why I created Poppin' Social Stories.

Because lots of people suck at story writing. But if they didn't suck, they could write stories that make them money.

It's that simple.

And seeing as it's only £97, if you can go make £582 from one email newsletter like I did, then that's a pretty sweet 5x return on investment with ONE piece of marketing.

So if you do need help writing stories, check out Poppin' Social Stories.

In 90 minutes I'll show you my exact story writing process start to finish, so you can just copy it and go from story writing beginner to story writing legend.

My calendar is notoriously empty. Mainly because I understand the capacity of my energy, so I don't overdo it. And it keeps me in good spirits throughout the week. No joke, this is my calendar for next week: I'm sure more life things will pop up. But no calls, no overload of work, tons of free time to enjoy living in a country with the best beaches in the world. If I didn't protect energy like this, I'd be all over the place.

Few months ago I discovered this app - Waze. It's unreal. no i'm not sponsored by waze. It's a Google Maps sat nav style app. Put your destination in and get the directions. Simple. (plus the little smiley logo is great) Except on Waze, people can upload incidents/things they come across on the road. e.g. if there's a speed camera van, you can click a button on the app and mark your position with a Police logo. Now anyone driving on that road knows there's a speed camera there. I'm not a...

I put podcasts on 1.5x speed when I run. I like to keep fit and healthy and I'm challenging myself to hit 100 runs in 2024. So I run about 3 x per week. But every time I run, I listen to a podcast and I put it on 1.5x speed. Why? Because time is of the essence. If I'm out running for 27-38 minutes and the podcast I'm listening to is 63 minutes long, I wanna be finishing it or at least listening to the bulk of it. So when I get home I can enjoy time at home with my wife. The same logic applies...
