I bet my savings you’re a great writer.

Your language is beautiful.

Your writing flows as smoothly as a river.

But you wonder why you’re not getting readers, right?

To test your writing skills, I’ll give you a simple challenge:

“In 1 minute, can you write an outline of an article to persuade vegans to eat Wagyu A5 beef?”

You might think about things like:

  • What should the headline look like?
  • What’s the benefit of Wagyu A5?
  • What should the outline of the article be?

But if I were you, I wouldn’t even start there.

Because you can’t sell a pen to people who never want a pen in the first place.

Writing tips are only 20% of your success.

Awareness makes up the other 80%.

Sadly, most writers don’t understand awareness.

They put everything they think readers should care about into their articles.
