Writers!
If you want to get more read, it’s simple.
Stop reading writing tips.
Start reading business books.
Surprise!
Here are 3 reasons why:
Reason #1: You’ll learn how to persuade.
I used to crave writing tips, thinking they were my holy grail.
It was painful when
- I wrote a punchy headline but no one clicked.
- I wrote long-form articles but got zero reads.
- I crafted niche pieces, but no one paid attention.
But after applying business strategies from books, I learned how to persuade my readers.
The result?
I make more money with less effort.
Reason #2: You’ll learn how to solve problems.
I hated when my writing was crappy.
And reading more writing tips didn’t help.
The problems stayed the same.
